Myself and several other players singing Guns N’ Roses “Paradise City” and having a good time after a company holiday party. Of note is the head banging I do at :35 into the video.
This was taken in 2010 and I’m finally getting around to uploading it.
Such a great song to begin with, but Train nails this one nicely. Performed live on the Howard Stern Show on March 27, 2012 (the above video doesn’t show the band live – it’s just the song).
A new eatery with Gene Simmons name attached to it
After pimping coffee and lattes, Gene Simmons has another food venture – Rock & Brews.
With one location opening today, and locations in Hawaii, Denver and others cities to follow, this is yet another celebrity chain of restaurants to make their stake at serving steaks, along with beers and other food items.
So if you are near LAX and the greater Los Angeles area – specifically South Bay – then stop in and see what this place is all about.
Taylor Swift – Top Earner for 2011
This will most likely be the only time you will see a photo of Taylor Swift on this blog, so I thought I would find one that had her in a mature pose.
This list of 2011’s top earners in music is not all that surprising, given the amount of albums sold and concert revenue has been generated.
Celine Dion’s millions is all her shows at Caesar’s in Vegas. Sade hasn’t had an album in years, but went on tour. Adele is all album sales with some live shows. The most surprising on this list is Kenny Chesney. I must be out of the loop on what’s he’s been up to for the last 5 years.
Super Morrissey Bros
Trying to add some musical fun for a Tuesday.

Where’ the Utah stop?
I’m a big Sammy Hagar fan. Starting with Montrose, then solo, his many years with Van Halen and now Chickenfoot. Have never seen him live and would love to someday.
There’s a new tour with multiple dates. Two shows in Lake Tahoe, which makes sense since there is a Cabo Wabo Cantina there. Then four days later, there is a show in Denver.
But no show in Salt Lake City. WTF?
Tahoe to Denver passes through Salt Lake City
As you can see from the map above, the tour buses traveling from the Tahoe show on May 5th go right through Salt Lake City on their way to the Denver show on the 9th.
Now I know the band doesn’t have complete control over where they stop. It’s the venue and concert promoters that run the shows and schedule the dates these days. Maybe smaller bands call the shots [maybe, maybe not], but regardless, there is no Salt Lake tour stop for this bus that just so happens to be traveling through Salt Lake.
Now if for some reason, between now and the end of April, they read this blog post and think to themselves, “Hey, we have fans in Utah” and schedule a date, then I will retract my rant.
Until then, I want to see Sammy, Michael, Joe and Chad Kenny.
And his original response was for a Mom Corp product.
I guess we’ll find out on March 7th.
