Sorry to brag so early!! However, my son Gunnar joined WICKED! He is their new drummer at 17 years old. So check them out. The band left this mourning from Utica NY and are playing several time at the Festival.

Roy: Wicked is a great glam band. I've seen them a few times. And...I've often thought (no offense to them) that their drummer was the weak link in the band. it just didn't seem like the right fit. I wish your son all my best with his new endeavor. peace.

[Roy]

Thanks Fletch. We all thought the same thing however. Gunnar took them to a whole different level with his style. Here is is first show with them. https://youtu.be/LfgPZO4Uuwc

Congrats to you and your son. Great band, great look, great chops.

Congratulations Roy to you and your son. Wish I was in Florida I would attend just to support Wicked as well as Kix and Lita maybe this is close enough for Metalboy to attend and give us a review?

[Roy]

I have work obligations., ..so Deb & I are unable to attend. However, THANK YOU everyone.

[fletch]

and a private message from me to mb: (nobody peak). stop dictating what kix has or hasn't been through. for the past 5 years, I've been dealing with a 'lil val jacinto.

Make sure , if you go, check out MASS, best pop metal band out of Boston since 1981

[Him]

All the best to your son and his gig in Wicked, Roy. You must be proud.

I hope everyone who attends has a great time. Another great concert . . . not on the W. Coast! I hope someone posts a review.

[Wee little sidebar: someone needs to contact the promoter to inform them about the use of "apostrophe s" . . . some of their promotional materials seem to assert that the 80s own, or at least claim possession of, "in the park". That said, I do love 80's metal! Just a bit of fun from a guy who muddles things up every now and again . . . as in, "wee" is redundant of "little".]

[Metalboy!]

I will be there, Boyz!

p.s. Roy, I will check out Wicked. I recall you sharing footage of you and your son jamming out a while back and it was phenomenol. Just one look at their logo and I can tell he's with the right band. I am looking forward to seeing him live. Spyke, if you check out MASS, another band I'm excited to see, you'll realize they're more than just a Pop Metal band! ; )

Maybe this time, we can rearrange the stars. It can't be that hard. -tom keifer

hey, look froggy, this time 'round, they're listening.

Metalboy! Im good friends with the MASS boys,,yes more hair metal than pop metal but killer vocals, harmonies and geetars!!,,Ive been seeing them since the late 80's in clubs around the Boston area,,If you meet them, mention "Revere Beach" you'll blow their minds,,They are from Revere or as we say it Reveeeeah!

[Metalboy!]

Indeed, Spyke... But I was referring to MASS's inspiration drawn from a higher calling which always gives Stryper a run for their money. "God Bless Rock & Roll!"

[Metalboy!]

Okay, Kidz! I'm in Melbourne! Going to see Bai Bang now! Then Firehouse! Look for Updates here!

[Him]

Enjoy the show everyone! I expect a full report (complete with pictures) upon your return to the hum-drum toils of everyday life.

[fletch]

Him: Mb always struck me as a "fine upstanding young man". I'm sure she has plenty of documentation during her world travels. I mean, there are signs, signs, everywhere there are signs. And, thank you lord, for thinking of me, I'm alive and doing fine. I know, I know...ugh...tesla! But as david lee roth says so himself, "I've given you 'fair warning'. And, if you happen to run into 'lil val in 10 years or so (hopefully not), just remember, we tried our best, and still are.

[Roy]

Hearing a lot of bad stuff today about this festival. Bands dropping out left & right.

[Dj]

Would've been a killer festival to go to.

[fletch]

[fletch]

froggy is still running away with all of his might.
