9/17: EXPERIENCE HENDRIX IN S FL, ACE, TORNILLO/DORO PODCAST
Off to Hollywood FL tomorrow for another quick trip to the Seminole Hard Rock. I’ve been lucky to have the opportunity to host several rock shows and this great venue and it’s always a blast. I’ll be hosting Experience Hendrix this Friday night at 8PM at the venue. Never saw this tour before but really looking forward to hearing great players like Eric Gales, Kenny Wayne Sheppard, Johnny Lang, Zakk Wylde and many more play Hendrix classics. Tickets available right up until showtime. If in the area hope to see you there. After the show this Friday I’ll be at the Hard Rock merch store inside the casino selling and signing both of my books and more. So come by after the show ends and say hello and grab a book if you’d like. Please note the location for the post show has moved and it is NOT at the Hard Rock Cafe but now the main merch store just down the walkway from the cafe.
Broke the new last night about Ace Frehley’s touring band. Dates will be announced next week. Great to see Scot Coogan and Richie Scarlet back in the band. Scot is not only a great drummer but sings extremely well and can sing lead. Really happy to see Richie back. He was an original member of Ace’s band and always liked his voice, playing and attitude. I don’t know Chris but his resume is solid and he also sings. So it’s a band with four lead singers which should allow them to play almost anything. More news on dates when I get it. Hope to see you out at a bunch of them if my schedule permits.
All new Eddie Trunk Podcast up Thursday. This week two guests in the show at the same time! Mark Tornillo of Accept and TT Quick and Doro sit in on the podcast together. Mark’s story is amazing and he now has sung on three Accept albums to date. And Doro has been a long time pioneer of female metal. I think you guys will really like hearing from both of them and what they have to say. As usual all of my podcasts are available free and worldwide via Itunes or www.podcastone.com
Have a nice weekend, more soon and on Twitter and FB.
Have you heard of this Aussie hard rock called “Rose Tattoo”? They were active in the ’70s and the ’80s, around the same time as rival band AC/DC. Ironically, lead singer Angry Anderson was in a band called “Buster Brown” with drummer Phil Rudd before they were both in separate bands.
I am aware of them and have played them
Great band that were very underrated. Everyone should at least pick up their Best of CD and I think you will become a fan.
A couple of more facts about Rose Tattoo.
1) Guns ‘n’ Roses are big fans of them.
2) Angry Anderson has a major role as a baddie in the movie Mad Max 3 – Beyond Thunderdome which stars Mel Gibson and Tina Turner.
Nice boys don’t play rock and roll!
pounder47 i think Angry is the only living oringinal member of Rose Tattoo alive now…..great Aussie rock band…
Yes that is the case and sadly most of the original guys have since passed away, especially slide/main guitarist Pete Wells.
Always hated Accept, biggest crap band on the planet, that is until Mark joined. Loved the TT Quick album since it’s release.
Hey Todd, can you offer a few specifics about why Accept never did it for you?
I totally dig the Tornillo-era stuff, and think “Give Em The Axe” is a all-time great metal song. But I always thought Wolf Hoffman’s guitar work was melodically superb, and, while Udo’s voice was an aquired taste, in my opinion it provided an interested counterpoint to the Euro-melodics of the band’s early days.
It’s called Teutonic Terror. Must really be a favorite of yours
You may need to buy a place down here in South Florida soon Eddie. Always good to have you back.
Wow. Haven’t heard Richie Scarlett’s name in ages. Back in the 80’s he worked in CT at a store called East Coast Music Mall.
