Lita Ford, Cherie Currie and Slash Perform 'Cherry Bomb'

Lita Ford played the Whisky A Go-Go the other night. Apparently the show was part of the Whisky's month-long 50th anniversary celebration. Joining Lita on stage at on point was former Runaways bandmate Cherie Currie and Slash. The result was an awesome version of "Cherry Bomb." Watch.

2014 M3 Rock Festival Lineup Announced

Kix, Lita Ford, Extreme, Slaughter, John Corabi, Tesla and Sebastian Bach are some of the highlights. To be honest, I'm underwhelmed with this lineup. I was expecting a bigger Saturday headliner.


M3 Rock Festival goes down the last weekend in April at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland. That's a suburb of Baltimore. Let me know if you plan on going to this one. I'm pretty sure I'm skipping -- the weekend doesn't work for me. Tickets go on sale this Friday.

The End Is Near

Check out this "save the date" card I just received. The thought is Motley Crue will announce their farewell tour later this month on January 28. I knew this retirement announcement was coming, but it's still sad. What do you think?

No word if GNR will tour America, but I bet we'll see at least a couple shows over the summer or maybe some festival gigs. Here are the South American dates. This site has a lot of readers in Brazil, so I'm interested in hearing from anyone planning to attend one of these shows.

3/25 – Brasilia, Brazil

Well, This Is Ridiculous

Oh, those cheeky boys in Steel Panther have done it again. Their little holiday-picture idea was a great publicity stunt. Steel Panther will release All You Can Eat later this year.
