Check out our coverage of Rocklahoma 2007 and imagine yourself there for 2008!
BuzzChic's first observations about Rocklahoma 2 are:
1) Black N' Blue and Warrant on the same night? Should be interesting to see Jaime and Jani meet up.
2) The only return players from last year are Enuff Z'Nuff, L.A. Guns, Bret Michaels (this time without Poison), Jaime St. James (this time in Black N' Blue), Warrant (this time with Jani Lane), Joe Lesté (this time without Bang Tango and with Beautiful Creatures) and a big star we can't mention yet who was solo last year but will have his band in tow this year.
3) It'll be so great to see all these bands that had a few radio hits but haven't toured in YEARS - Axe ("Rock N' Roll Party In The Streets"), XYZ ("Inside Out"), and Tora Tora (Walkin' Shoes") get the BuzzChic pumped and ready to rrrrrrrrock!
4) Triumph!! I've waited 20, yes TWENTY, years to finally see these guys play together again. Yippee!!
The final episode of Gone Country airs Friday night, March 7th. It’s a one-hour extended episode and features our own Dee Snider plus six other country music misfits - Bobby Brown, Julio Iglesias, Jr., Sisqó, Diana DeGarmo, Maureen McCormick and Carnie Wilson - all trying their hand at becoming the next country music star. The cast enters the Wildhorse Saloon, where they will be performing that evening, and host John Rich arms the gang with one of the things that inspired him most in life as a performer - an inspirational prayer and a pep talk from his preacher father.
In the end, only one is named the Gone Country winner…who’s it gonna be? Does anyone REALLY think it's gonna be Dee? Didn't think so!
Check Gone Country (starring our own Dee Snider) this Friday night at 8pm ET/PT – check your local cable listings!
Van Halen has postponed four March dates on its current U.S. tour due to undisclosed medical issues concerning Eddie Van Halen. According to his personal physician, the guitarist is currently "undergoing a battery of comprehensive medical tests to determine a defined diagnosis and recommended medical procedures." You may remember the tour was originally delayed last fall due to Eddie's six month stint in rehab; he also has battled tongue cancer in experimental ways. Dates affected include Raleigh (now April 13th); Baltimore (April 15th); Cincinnati (now April 22nd) and Dallas (now April 24th). As of this writing, the band is still scheduled to resume their tour on March 11th in Charlottesville.
Vocalist Doogie White has left Yngwie Malmsteen's band and has been replaced by former Judas Priest/Iced Earth frontman Tim “Ripper” Owens. Ripper and Yngwie are already in the trenches and recording a new album which is due out this summer. Tim Ripper Owens, pictured at right. >>
Despite the killer performance of Led Zeppelin during their “reunion” in London last December, Robert Plant has no plans to head out on tour with his remaining Zep bandmates. He reportedly has turned down – get this – ₤100 million (that’s $198 million U.S.) to take the band back out on the road. While John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page were said to want the tour, Plant has decided to keep his attentions on his work with U.S. country singer Alison Krauss. That's when you know you have just too much friggin' money!!
Rocklahoma Headliner Bret Michaels can soon add “author” to his singer/songwriter/amateur porn star/reality TV star/skank-ho magnet resume this spring when he releases his as-yet-untitled autobiography. If you can’t wait that long, check out his one-hour biography special on The Biography Channel on Monday, March 10 at 9pm EST.
Hos Vs. Hoes Beatdown!
Proof positive that someone is actually paying attention to our incoherent ramblings, HOH listener and BuzzCut reader “Mark” answered a headline we recently wrote:
[Regarding] Yo, Hoes (or is it Hos?)!
I believe that, given the two choices, I'd go with "hos." It's not perfect, but it's better than the alternative. A "hoe" is a garden tool, while the word we hear on the street and television all the time is a truncated "whore," which, logically, would be cut down to "ho'."
