VH at Rock USA festival in Oshkosh

[twonabomber]

It started about 3 yrs ago. But it opened 6yrs ago to host country usa.Parking is hell getting out plan on a extra
hour to hour 1/2 before you get out. VIP OR RESERVED SEATING IS THE WAY TO GO.In the lawn chair section you
can lose yourself at night getting back to your seat its dark. Its a wide open area with 3 big tents with bands inside
rocking out, Camp if you can.There are some offsite campgrounds close by.One hotel within walking. But good luck!

Ugh...

F that. My 40 year old bones are too fragile for that shit. Maybe it's a good thing I already have plans. I'll watch the videos as they're posted here.

The drive through Chicago doesn't thrill me either.

Sounds like you are past the "we will get high and we will get drunk and man there are going to be a lot of girls there and..." Ah misguided youth.

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.

I used to go to Sturgis every year. There were moments when I honestly asked myself what am I doing here? I like freak shows and Sturgis is good for that.

I love that they are doing this show. The original lineup of RATT? I mean come on? How fucking cool is that? Of course not Robbin, but Carlos is a 80's guitar hero stud and fits in extremely well with Ratt. And Juan Croucier back makes it doubly awesome. Dokken is (was) a great band. Under Lock And Key is one of the best hard rock albums of the 1980's. I just wish jackyl & Great White would swap nights. And the TBA should be Queensryche if Tate were still singing. Now that would be a dream lineup.

Good for VH. This is where they belong. No Ky Mani Marley, No Kool & The Gang.....but other metal acts from the same era. Hopefully that will spur Dave to act more rock star rather than vaudeville. He is great at tailoring his attitude to fit the moment.

and the fact that they are closing out the 4 day festival is super epic. Back where they belong. Playing in front of 80,000 rock fans & being the top act and closing out the festival.

Just hope they include As Is and rock the fuck out of the place. Can't wait for the youtubes.

Im amazed at all the Jackyl haters...you all suck

I love that fuckin band.

Lumberjack is what they Devil plays in hell on continuos repeat. Worst song of all times. I fucking HATE it so much I can't even describe. We used to rag on it so much when the video first came out. Everyone hated it.

That said.....

I kinda dig this tune. Tight band. Powerful voice.

Now you're talkin'. I would hope that Dave would attempt the "drive my search engine home..." part in his mid-range register, though. If he attempts the higher note on that one, it could be as rough on the ears as Chinatown and Blood & Fire live. Hopefully, they get him doing Light Up The Sky as well. The 3 twins definitely have those tunes tee'd up.

They should have billed Saturday as the "Without" day.

Dokken, without Lynch
Jackyl, without a hit
Ratt, without Crosby (I know...)
Van Halen, without some of Ed's intestine!

I don't even know how you could say that shit! This could be the next gig that everyone will talk about and make a few-hundred threads out of....

What if Michael Anthony just starts belting some classic VH when the curtain drops?

Pan-de-phucking-modium!! That's what!!

It's in the heat of summer, a quick shot from the pad........there's no fucking way that I'm NOT going to witness this.

[katina]

Japan, Australia and this new date in U.S.A in Summer !!

Sun, wonderful beaches and garotas, caipirinhas....I know Dave loves Brazil, Van Halen have a huge audience in Brazil, and a lot of people from neighbouring countries will travel there for sure.

Yep - now it's more like "we're getting screwed by Ticketmaster and gas is HOW much per gallon and I just spent $40 for nachos and a beer and..."
