• Dee,
  I listen to your show every Saturday night on 105.7 WAPL The Rockin’ Apple. I’m a 39 year old metalhead who still loves to head bang with the younger generation. I look back at all metal shows that I’ve been to and the one concert that stands out in front of them all is seeing Metallica back in ‘86 (when I was 16) open up for Ozzy. It was so tragic that just a few months later legendary bassist Cliff Burton died on that tour. I’d like to request Metallica’s “Fade To Black” to remember the passing of Cliff Burton and Dimebag Darrel from Pantera. Thanks, Dee

O.M.F.G. – it’s the House of Hair! Seriously–text speak? FTW, SMFs! There’s no school like the old school!

The HOH is a dirty little Eden on the airwaves, a heavy metal Valhalla where the horns are raised high in the air and so is the hair! I’ve got the bands, the tunes and the decibels: all you have to provide is the head banging and we’re good to go! Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and my band, Twisted Sister, are being unleashed, plus I’ve got requests for Metallica, Cinderella and more! If the hair is big and the spandex is so tight you can tell who did the circumcision, then it’s gotta be the House of Hair! Don’t miss it!

Rock On The Range 2010: More Than 38 Bands Highlight This Year’s Festival

ROCK ON THE RANGE 2010:

GODSMACK, ROB ZOMBIE, THREE DAYS GRACE &
THE MUCH-ANTICIPATED RETURN OF LIMP BIZKIT
HIGHLIGHT THIS YEAR’S FESTIVAL

MORE THAN 38 BANDS
INCLUDING SEETHER, RISE AGAINST,
DEFTONES, PAPA ROACH, THEORY OF A DEADMAN, SLASH, MASTODON AND FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH
TO CONVERGE ON COLUMBUS CREW STADIUM
MAY 22 & 23

More than 38 bands will once again come together to celebrate rock at the fourth annual ROCK ON THE RANGE, set for May 22 and 23 at Columbus Crew Stadium in Columbus, Ohio. The line-up includes first-timer “Rangers” Rob Zombie, Godsmack (in their first announced show of 2010), the return of Limp Bizkit and the festival solo debut of Slash. The two-day line-up for America’s premiere destination rock festival includes some of the most rocking artists in music today. In addition, marking another first for ROCK ON THE RANGE, Mistress Juliya of Fuse TV has signed on as the hostess and Mistress of Ceremonies for the event. (See below for the full line-up.)

Sully Erna from Godsmack says: “Fasten your seatbelts baby, here comes Godsmack! I can’t WAIT to get to Columbus for what will be the best Rock On The Range yet! Godsmack is gonna kick some major *@%*!”

Del Williams, co-executive producer of the event for Right Arm Entertainment, explains: “We designed ROTR 2010 to be the biggest weekend of ROCK at an incredibly low ticket price for the fans affectionately referred to as the ‘Rangers.’ This year’s line-up represents the most compelling mix of bands that we have ever had. Godsmack is one of the most prolific Active Rock bands of all time, and the intrepid Rob Zombie is an unrivaled performer. We are particularly excited about the return of Limp Bizkit, who have been tearing it up at European festivals. It is time for them to come back to America and remind people why they were at one time one of the biggest bands in the world.”

“In four short years, this festival has become like no other in the United States,” added Joe Litvag, co-executive producer of the festival for AEG Live. “We’ve been fortunate enough to create something that caters to a very specific music lover, and the fans have become truly rabid for it. ROCK ON THE RANGE has become the summer destination for an entire nation of rock fans…It’s amazing really.”

Two-day weekend festival passes start at just $99.50. A special pre-sale for ROCK ON THE RANGE fans will start February 16 and for the first time, fans can buy their tickets this year via a layaway plan.

“The vision of Rock On The Range has always been to provide a premiere rock festival for a very affordable price,” said Mark McCullers, President and General Manager of the Columbus Crew. “Each year we look for new ways to enhance the fans’ experience. Two specific improvements for 2010 are an increased viewing area for our fans at the Jägermeister stage and a layaway plan as an additional payment option for our Rock On The Range fans.”

Details of the layaway plan as well as VIP Packages that include festival tickets, hotel accommodations and festival merchandise can be found at www.rockontherange.com. All tickets go on sale February 20 at 10:00 AM (ET) via www.rockontherange.com and www.ticketmaster.com, all local Ticketmaster outlets and at the Crew Stadium box office.

Presented by Right Arm Entertainment, AEG LIVE and Crew Stadium, the two-day, multi-stage music and lifestyle event will feature a potent line-up of more than 38 bands on three stages: The Monster Energy Mainstage, The Kicker Audio Stage and The Jägermeister Stage. The nationally renowned festival centrally located in the heart of the country has annually drawn crowds in excess of 30,000 per day since it’s inception in 2007.

The 2010 ROCK ON THE RANGE line-up is as follows: Godsmack, Rob Zombie, Limp Bizkit, Three Days Grace, Slash, Seether, Rise Against, Deftones, Papa Roach, Theory Of A Deadman, Mastodon, Killswitch Engage, Coheed & Cambria, Bullet for My Valentine, Puddle Of Mudd, Five Finger Death Punch, Apocalyptica, Drowning Pool, Halestorm, Sevendust, Skillet, Mushroomhead, Helmet, Airbourne, Anberlin, Cold, Nonpoint, 2Cents, Adelitas Way, Shaman’s Harvest, Year Long Disaster, Like A Storm, Taddy Porter, Janus, Columbus’ own Noise Auction and more.
