I’m still in shock that 2023 is almost over; where did the time go? At the beginning of the year, I was still working at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida for my Disney College Program. After that ended in early January, I moved back home to Hawaii and was practically jobless... Continue Reading →
Aerosmith just announced that they are postponing all of their currently scheduled dates for their Peace Out farewell tour to sometime in 2024, due to frontman Steven Tyler’s vocal injury. On September 11, 2023, the band previously announced that Tyler sustained vocal cord damage during their September 9 show in New York at the UBS... Continue Reading →
A lot of my favorite bands are getting up there in age and are way past their prime years. But instead of complaining and stressing about that, I decided to check out a band that is young, hot, and still going strong. Who could possibly fit that description? Well, Rival Sons, of course. On August... Continue Reading →
So, I woke up this morning at 8:00 a.m. and scrolled through my phone as usual. I saw a Twitter notification from Aerosmith with the phrase "PEACE OUT!" Curious, I clicked on the notification and found that the American rock band just announced a farewell tour with The Black Crowes as the opening act. The... Continue Reading →
I’m going to put a pause on the Disney College Program blog posts to talk about something that’s been trending in the music world recently (at least in my opinion). The American rock band Bon Jovi kicked off their 2022 tour in Omaha, Nebraska at the CHI Health Center on Friday, April 1. Unfortunately, they... Continue Reading →
Ever since I got into AC/DC, I’ve wondered what would’ve happened if the band released one more studio album with Malcolm Young, founding member and former rhythm guitarist, before he retired? Either between Stiff Upper Lip (2000) and Black Ice (2008), or Black Ice and Rock or Bust (2014)? To be fair, AC/DC are a... Continue Reading →
It was the summer of 2020, and my obsession with AC/DC was at its peak! I've watched enough live footage to know that they are one kick*** live band. I made up my mind that I wanted to buy a concert release, but I had no idea which one to get; I got torn between No... Continue Reading →
Even if there's only a slight chance of AC/DC reuniting for one final album and tour, I want to prepare myself for the day I get to see these rockers in person. The lineup would consist of hopefully, Angus Young, Brian Johnson, Stevie Young, Cliff Williams, and Phil Rudd. After watching many virtual AC/DC concerts,... Continue Reading →
I love Def Leppard, but sometimes I feel like their setlists have gotten pretty predictable throughout the years. They still sound great live, and the experience itself is mind-blowing (from what I've researched), but I think it's time for the boys to spice up their concerts. Their catalog is so diverse, yet they play the... Continue Reading →
It depends! For any artist, they need to have popular tunes to sell records. But sometimes, overplaying the hits can be a bit much at times. It is necessary, though; at a Bon Jovi concert, for example, the crowd would be upset if they don't play "Bad Medicine," "Wanted Dead Or Alive," or "Livin' On... Continue Reading →
