You know someone asked me today what would I consider as being hell on earth. I said being locked in a room with Sebastian Bach and David Lee Roth at the same time for one minute.
As far as this silly little festival is concerned, it ain’t Rockville without John Sykes!
RPS,
Wow, that would be a scene, who do you think, would emerge as top dog? My bet, is on the OG diva, DLR.
As for the Sykes joke, you’re killing me-LOL!!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

There is no doubt DLR would hand Bach his arse on a golden platter. Dave is unbreakable, nothing phases him. Within a couple of minutes he would have Bach so flustered that Bach would be on his knees trying to rip his own hair out and blaming Trump followed by banging his head off the wall repeatedly for hours. Tell me nobody could envision this!
LOL!!!
Out of all of those bands the Juan I’d be looking forward to seeing the most would be Alice In Chains!
I had a vision of going to this event and losing my glasses in the mud
