Blogging about John Mellencamp could be a long blog.  I will keep it short. Great music and great musicians. I heard a rumour years ago that Mellencamp  insisted that his band all learn a new instrument for one of the albums. I think it might have been his Scarecrow album.I don’t know how true this is but it rang true to what sort of person Mellencamp is.

I saw John Mellencamp in concert in Sydney back in the 80’s I think. Great gig. This was at the Sydney Entertainment Centre. He certainly rocked and rolled. A big band complete with fiddles and keyboards and lots of guitars. The band was the same band that John Mellencamp had been using for most of his career. They rocked.

Would I go and see him again?  You bet! John Mellencamp who used to go by Johnny Cougar is a favorite of mine.

Bon Jovi certainly made an impact back in the 80s with their “Slippery when wet” album. They have hardly stopped since. Different Jon Bon jovi projects and ritchie sambora projects intertwine with Bon Jovi the band. This creates a body of work that is certainly more than respectable. Its power pop, stadium rock, call it what you want there are some great tunes and great rock over the last over 20 years..

Touring right now so Bon Jovi Tickets as low as $50 at StubHub!

You can get your Bon Jovi Albums and more here at Amazon.com “Slippery when wet“

KISS Still rockin’

Paul Stanley in a KISS concert in Helsinki, Fi...

It seems like a lifetime ago that we all headed out to the Sydney showground to see KISS live. I have no memory of who the support band was but I do remember being disappointed when the soundcheck track of Whole Lotta Love by Led Zeppelin was cut short for KISS to come onstage. Oh well.

The KISS gig was good. As expected with lots of glitz and glam and Rock’n'Roll. Main memory was ACE shooting his guitar rocket or fireworks high into the air.

A great gig. And they are still doing it. What a great band.
