Bang Your Head!

Well, I got those free tickets to see Monster Cirus at the Las Vegas Hilton on March 21st. What a show! 80s hard rock, hot chicks and carnies. What more can you ask for? Well, I'll tell you. How about singing the chorus of AC/DC's "Highway To Hell" with Dee Snider? That's right. Yours truely and his buddies were singing with Dee Snider when he jumped into the audience and shared the microphone. What a rush! Dee is 54, but he's still rockin', and he sounded great.

Here's the set list from the show:

01. Live Wire (Motley Crue)

02. Shout It Out Loud (Kiss)

03. Back In Black (AC/DC)

04. Is This Love (Whitesnake)

05. Once Bitten Twice Shy (Great White)

06. You've Got Another Thing Comin' (Judas Priest)

07. That's Life (Frank Sinatra)

08. We're Not Gonna Take It (Twisted Sister)

09. Crazy Train (Ozzy Osbourne)

10. I Wanna Rock (Twisted Sister)

11. Highway To Hell (AC/DC)

12. Hot For Teacher (Van Halen)

13. Dream On (Aerosmith)

14. Paradise City (Guns N' Roses)

15. Bang Your Head (Metal Health) (Quiet Riot)

Let The Games Begin!

It's that time of year, again. It's time for March Madness, and that means it's time for another trip to Las Vegas. Travelling to Las Vegas for the opening rounds of March Madness has been an annual tradition for me for several years. Readers of this blog know that the Red Rock Casino has been the casino of choice in recent years due to its diverse offerings and its close proximity to my buddy's house. However, I am traveling off the beaten path this year. My Las Vegas buddy works for the company that manages the Las Vegas Hilton, and he has provided me and a few other gambling friends with a multi-room suite at the Hilton. This guy is generous to a fault (or he just got tired of his house stinking after days of gluttonous use by slobs he's known for 25+ years). Any way you slice it, I am in Vegas, and the atmosphere is exciting.

In years past, I've run into oracles and harbingers of death. This year I crossed paths with Dee Snider. He was buying a cup of coffee. Dee will be a guest performer with Monster Circus for their first three shows at the Las Vegas Hilton Theater this week. Guess who might be getting free tickets for Saturday night's show.
