Monday, February 18, 2013 at 12:01AM If you've got cable, then you'll want to mark you calendars and set your DVR for a five-hour Guns n' Roses special set for March 9. VH1 Classic will air the band's 2012 concert at London's O2 Arena as part of the special. There will also be an hour-long Guns n' Roses video block and a rebroadcast of That Metal Show featuring Axl Rose.
Guns n' Roses were just added to the Governor's Ball festival set for June 7-9 in New York. Then there was the Rocklahoma announcement just a few days ago. All this Guns n' Roses news makes me curious. The band just did a Las Vegas residency and a tour before that. I wonder if all this means Axl's Roses are ready to record a new album?
Here's a preview of the O2 performance.

Poison will headline the Coors Light Carb Day concert on May 24 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Carb Day is part of the lead-up festivities to the Indianapolis 500.
The concert, free with Coors Light Carb Day admission of $20, will take place on the Coors Light Stage in the Indianapolis Motor Speedway infield. Coors Light Carb Day tickets are available now.
The 2013 Indianapolis 500 is scheduled for Sunday, May 26.
I wonder if this means Poison is going out on tour for sure this summer? It's possible this is just a one-off booking, but I suspect the band will use this large-scale show as an official tour kickoff. Time will tell.

Frontiers Records is pleased to announce the release of legendary rock band Whitesnake’s new DVD/live CD package, MADE IN JAPAN. MADE IN JAPAN is set for release on April 19th in Europe (22nd in the UK) and April 23rd in North America and will be available in several formats: a deluxe 2CD/DVD edition, Blu-ray and a standalone DVD. The performance footage is shot in stunning HD in 5.1 and stereo and is taken from Whitesnake’s co-headlining set at the “Loud Park” festival on October 11th, 2011 held at Saitama Super Arena in Japan during their “Forevermore World Tour.” The performance was initially recorded only for Japanese TV and future Loud Park promotions, but after three songs were broadcasted on a Loud Park highlights program in Japan, Whitesnake received unprecedented requests for this performance to be made available to the general public.
MADE IN JAPAN contains songs from Whitesnake’s most recent studio album, FOREVERMORE, as well as classic hits such as “Is This Love,” “Still Of The Night” and “Here I Go Again.” The bonus CD also includes never-before-heard outtakes and acoustic versions of material from the award winning FOREVERMORE album that were recorded during soundchecks on the 2011 Japanese tour.. Additional DVD content includes various band photo slideshows and fan-shot videos. Please see below for the full content listing.
Formed in 1977, and steered by the legendary David Coverdale, Whitesnake carry a rightful reputation as one of the world’s leading rock bands. Coverdale’s blues roots, combined with a feral sense of rock and roll, have consistently shaped the ‘Snake’s sound along with Coverdale’s love and appreciation of impeccable musicianship. Whitesnake’s ascent to the very top of the rock n’ roll heap was confirmed with 1987’s self-titled mega-platinum album, which saw two massive Top 10 hits, two #1 singles with “Here I Go Again” and “Is This Love” and a virtual 24-hour domination of MTV around the world. David Coverdale was recently named one of Revolver’s “100 Greatest Living Rock Stars.” and the UK’s ‘Kerrang!’ voted David Coverdale the ‘Last Great Rock Star’. Musicians on MADE IN JAPAN include David Coverdale (vocals), Doug Aldrich (guitars), Reb Beach (guitars), Michael Devin (bass), Briian Tichy (drums) and special guest Brian Ruedy (keyboards).

I can't wait to see Black Veil Brides live this summer. I'll be seeing them twice, at Rock on the Range and Vans Warped Tour. Here's a pro-shot clip of "In the End." Just scroll past the interview at the beginning. The video is from AltarTV.
Also, I really love the still picture at the beginning of the clip. I would wear any of those outfits. I'm not sure what that says about me... or the band.

Rocklahomais located just 45 minutes northeast of Tulsa, in Pryor, OK. The “Catch the Fever” Festival Grounds is a premier destination for a multi-day festival and includes onsite camping with access to restrooms and shower house, a general store for campers, VIP reserved seating, hospitality areas and much more.
Established in 2007 as a classic rock destination festival with the motto “life, liberty and the pursuit of rock,” Rocklahoma was revamped in 2010 as organizers teamed with AEG Live to create an event encompassing a much broader mix of classic, current and up-and-coming rock artists. In 2011, a record-breaking crowd of over 35,000 fans turned out for the festival, which raised over $10,000 for the American Red Cross as part of their tornado relief efforts in nearby Joplin, MO. In 2012, a national television audience was able to experience many Rocklahoma band performances in HD when AXS TV aired live coverage of the festival.
Rocklahoma marks the final event of the 2013 World’s Loudest Month. Created in partnership by AEG Live and Right Arm Entertainment, the World’s Loudest Month features the biggest names in rock music performing in five distinct U.S. concert atmospheres: Welcome To Rockville, Carolina Rebellion, Rockfest, Rock On The Range, and Rocklahoma. In 2012, the World’s Loudest Month featured over 100 artists playing for more than 200,000 rock music fans across the country on five consecutive weekends, confirming that rock music is as vital as ever.
Rocklahoma is proud to be sponsored by Bud Light, Hard Rock (presenting the Hard Rock 2nd Stage), Jägermeister, and Monster Energy.
