VH at Rock USA festival in Oshkosh

[LoungeMachine]

I wonder who the 4th luckier than hell act is. Is Dokken still Lynchless? Is Ratt once again Pearcyless? Is Jackyl still just a lame band that brings a chainsaw out on stage?

yes

[sadaist]

A fucking one-off gig in Wisconsin ??

It's just the first announced gig. First date to slip out. I have a feeling this will be a busy summer. Give it a few more weeks for more dates to leak out as promoters start releasing their dates.

Would be really surprised to see this pan out to an entire tour with Ratt...

Although I'd much rather watch Ratt than KATG....

Carlos Cavazo in Robin Crosby's spot worked out pretty well, actually better when I saw them a few years ago. Don't know if he kept the gig, though. Who's playing the part of Stephen Pearcy these days?

[twonabomber]

Gotta buy tickets for all four days? meh.

[Carmine]

Thanks for posting this, Bomber...I was stuck in a meeting...

RATT is Pearcy, DeMartini, Cavazo, Blotzer and Croucier...we had them up here in August 2010 at my buddy's place for a gig...they rocked...

I may fly in for this...

If you buy tickets from March 11-13, they're only $49 for all 4 days!

140 miles from the house in the middle of summer?

This is a Harley run!

I'm there, motherfuckers!!

So there I am, around 12 AM on a Thursday night and not having to go into work the following morning. After having imbibed more than a Falstaffian amount of alcohol and microwaved pizza, I'm flicking channels and run across a bizarre show (Full Throttle Saloon) about the comings and goings of a bar set in Sturgis during the annual bike week held there. Wanna guess what the main source of conflict was, set amongst the titillating shots of chicks in bikinis or biker gear? You guessed it...Jackyl, and the band's lead singer Jesse James Dupree, who in addition to selling his own brand of whiskey, felt it would be a cool idea to leap off of a bridge into a stack of wet cardboard at the end of his group's set. Tragically, he survived the incident, coming away unhurt (yet limping) and apparently no wiser.

Seriously, I couldn't make this shit up. In a previous season, the bonehead did the human cannon ball trick, getting launched out of one and once again landing on his noggin.

Date is apparently confirmed per Jeff at VHND....

[ELVIS]

So, this will be the warmup gig for the Sam and Dave Van Halen Show, right ??

I love this show too, but I'm easily entertained.

Let's hope not.....

It would be torture enough sitting through Dokken, Ratt, and Jack-off. Add Hagar to that list, and it's enough to make you suicidal.
