Gigs That Do NOT Suck


There are gigs that suck. And then there are gigs that do NOT suck.

Last night we played the official VIP after party for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Cleveland, OH with Hall of Famer Sam Moore.

This is from Rolling Stone online:

"Drenched, drummer Lars Ulrich mugged for photographers and showed why he’s been a driving force in the band: After more than 25 years playing speed metal, he’s still got fast feet — and a quick wit. When a journalist asked where the after party was, Ulrich had an answer ready for the room: “Your mom’s house.”

"Soul man Sam Moore (of Hall of Fame duo Sam and Dave) played the official after party at House of Blues, turning in a set that included a nuanced rendition of the Police’s “Every Breath You Take.” Metallica bassist Rob Trujillo was at the bash, but our party reporter said the rest of

Metallica weren’t in sight. Maybe Lars wasn’t kidding."
The lovely and talented Will Lee and Sid McGuiness from the World's Most Dangerous Band joined us onstage for a couple of songs each. It was really nice of them to stop by after having played the ceremony.

A good time was had by all....
