• Hey, Dee! What’s happening? I am a 37 year old metal head originally from NYC who moved to Arizona. I was very happy to discover the HOH recently on KDKB in Phoenix! I try to listen every time the House of Hair is on. You play all the great tunes! However, there is one band I hardly ever hear on either of the hairband stations I listen to and that is Hurricane. I wonder why? During the ass-kicking headbanging hairband time, they had two popular songs that were always played and their videos were on Headbanger’s Ball, too. The two songs were “I’m On To You” and “Livin’ Over the Edge.” Kelly Hansen, who is currently with Foreigner, has a great voice and I would like to hear it on the radio again, please. Thanks so much and I will keep on rockin’ for you!

Things are gonna get completely outta control, headbangers! And you know what that means: the House of Hair is heading your way!

It’s all gonna be on this week’s House of Hair!

Cinderella, Vince Neil, Tesla, Drowning Pool, Sevendust And Others Get ShipRocked On 2010 Cruise

Cinderella, Vince Neil, Tesla, Drowning Pool, Sevendust, 10 Years,
Black Stone Cherry And Others Get ShipRocked On 2010 Cruise

More Metal Than Found In Davy Jones Locker!

Plus in honor of the late, great Ronnie James Dio,
a one of a kind rock auction will benefit cancer research.

Ft. Lauderdale, FL (May 25, 2010) – Legendary rockers Cinderella, Vince Neil and Tesla headline the second installment of ShipRocked, the ultimate Rock n’ Roll music fan experience at sea, November 11-14, 2010. Cinderella makes their ShipRocked debut, showcasing their raspy hard rock blues, while Motley Crue frontman Vince Neil returns to the seven seas with all the Crue and solo hits in tow. Not to be outdone, and by popular demand, California rockers Tesla return as the “passenger favorites” from 2009’s maiden voyage.

“ShipRocked 2010 will be wall-to-wall music for three days and nights, giving fans the rare opportunity to listen to and hang out with multiple generations of rock legends. With 14 acts performing on multiple stages onboard, there’s enough music for whatever your mood desires,” says promoter Alan Koenig of ASK4 Entertainment. Main support comes from platinum metalheads Drowning Pool and Sevendust, along with modern rock phenom 10 Years, southern metal boogie rockers Black Stone Cherry. In addition, the rock never lets up as The Letter Black, Aranda, Lynam, Broken Teeth, Niki Barr Band and Pianotarium bring up the stern of this floating festival.

The setting is the MSC Poesia (Italy) one of the cruise industry’s most acclaimed new vessels. It all begins in Fort Lauderdale, FL, visiting the premier Bahamian port, Nassau with a special stop at the pristine private island of Coco Cay Bay. Exuding her Italian roots, the Poesia features include the luxurious Aqua Spa, two pools, four Jacuzzis, a state-of-the-art cardio gym, salon, sushi bar, wine tasting bar, Teatro Carlo Felice, a beautiful, 3-level, Las Vegas-style theater, plus additional stages on deck and around the ship for both bands and passengers to enjoy all night long!

Prices start at only $599 per person, double occupancy and include exclusive access to all ShipRocked concerts and special events, deluxe stateroom, meals, ship activities, ship entertainment and much, much more! Space is very limited so early booking is encouraged.

In addition, a special charity auction of one-of-a-kind rock music memorabilia will be featured. All money raised will go towards cancer research, in honor of hard rock music legend Ronnie James Dio, who recently passed away.

Tickets for ShipRocked are being sold on a first-come, first-served basis, and are only available at www.GetShipRocked.com or by calling 1-888-370-9680.

Sevendust, 10 Years, Black Stone Cherry and Aranda Join ShipRocked!

THE SOUTH INVADES SHIPROCKED!

Just when you thought the ultimate rock and roll vacation couldn’t get any bigger, better or harder, along come four Southern based bands to round out the ShipRocked 2010 lineup and to rock our collective asses in November!

Atlanta’s own SEVENDUST lead the way, having recently released their infections seventh studio album Hope & Sorrow, which features the hit single “Unraveling.” Be sure to catch them this weekend at Rock On The Range, and next weekend at Rocklahoma. Then all summer long, they’ll be touring as part of the Carnival Of Madness Tour, with Shinedown, Chevelle, Puddle Of Mudd, and… 10 Years!

10 YEARS hail from Knoxville, Tennessee, and join the ShipRocked lineup just as they are putting the finishing touches on their third album Feeding The Wolves. The highly anticipated project is being helmed by Grammy nominated producer Howard Benson (My Chemical Romance, Flyleaf, Seether). The band will also be on the road as part of the Carnival Of Madness Tour!

BLACK STONE CHERRY might be from Kentucky, but they have toured the world over, delivering their Southern heritage with a mix of heavy, loud guitars, larger than life drumming and lyrical storytelling. Their latest album Folklore and Superstition enlisted famed rock producer Bob Marlette (Ozzy, Shinedown, Quiet Riot), to help meld the traditions of their roots, with some vintage arena rock. Wait until you see these boys play!

Listening to Oklahoma City’s ARANDA is something like hearing an explosive hybrid of the atom bomb and all of Woodstock combined. They are an experience. Brothers Dameon and Gabe are no strangers to sharing the stage with big names in rock: during the past year, they have performed with hit bands such as the All American Rejects, Saliva, Shinedown, Puddle of Mudd, Theory of a Deadman, and Black Stone Cherry.

ShipRocked couldn’t be more proud to add these four amazing bands to our lineup for 2010, which of course already includes Cinderella, Vince Neil, Tesla, and Drowning Pool. Onboard you’ll also see The Letter Black featuring Mark “Traa” Daniels from P.O.D., LYNAM, Broken Teeth, Niki Barr Band and Pianotarium! — Seriously… how kick ass is this lineup?!?!

Wanna Get ShipRocked right NOW? CLICK HERE to save time and BOOK ONLINE. Prices start at only $499 per passengers (based on double occupancy, and subject to availability), and include exclusive access to all ShipRocked concerts and activities, deluxe stateroom, meals, ship activities, ship entertainment and much, much more!.

ROCK ‘N’ ROLL FANTASY CAMP COMING TO A TOWN NEAR YOU

FIRST-RUN OF CITIES FOR “WEEKEND WARRIOR” PACKAGES INCLUDES CHICAGO, PHILADELPHIA, SAN FRANCISCO AND DALLAS

Having already established itself in London, Los Angeles and New York as the place where rock and roll fantasies come to life, ROCK ‘N’ ROLL FANTASY CAMP will hit the road this Fall for a four-city tour.

Beginning October 15-17 in Chicago, ROCK ‘N’ ROLL FANTASY CAMP will offer aspiring musicians three-day “weekend warrior” packages in Philadelphia (Oct 22-24), San Francisco (Nov 5-7) before wrapping in Dallas (Nov 12-14). The acclaimed musical adventure takes attendees through grueling and joyful days like those of their favorite musicians. Each day a new thrilling challenge exists for the “rock campers” from the audition process, to forming bands, writing and recording music and finally culminating in a “battle of the bands” concert at a legendary venue in each city: Chicago (House of Blues), Philadelphia (The Trocadero), San Francisco (Fillmore) and Dallas (House of Blues).

Onboard to mentor the rock campers through their weekend-long musical adventures: lead counselor, guitarist Dickey Betts (co-founder of the Allman Brothers Band who will also be performing an exclusive show each of the weekend’s final nights), along with camp counselors Mark Farner (Grand Funk Railroad), Mark Hudson (Aerosmith), Kip Winger (Winger), Rudy Sarzo (Quiet Riot, Ozzy) and Sandy Gennaro (Joan Jett) and many others.

“These ‘weekend warrior’ passes will open up the unique Fantasy Camp weekend experience to a new audience,” says CAMP founder David Fishof. “By offering this opportunity close to home, the campers will be able to perform the final night concert surrounded by friends and family.”

Just prior to the U.S. “weekend warrior packages,” ROCK ‘N’ ROLL FANTASY CAMP will travel to the Bahamas for a destination Camp at the world famous Atlantis resort with Roger Daltrey from October 7-10.

Later this month, ROCK ‘N’ ROLL FANTASY CAMP will be in London for Memorial Day weekend. London campers will have the opportunity to rehearse and record at the legendary Abbey Road Studios before the week culminates with them taking the stage at the world’s most famous rock club, THE CAVERN in Liverpool, where the Beatles first made their name. Meantime, VH1 Classic’s weekly hour-long docu-series featuring 15 campers as they go through the transformative process of becoming “rock stars” will debut Friday, July 9.

For those looking for a Father’s day gift, Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy Camp (RRFC) “Weekend Warrior” packages start at $1999 for a once-in-a-lifetime weekend-long experience. For more information, please visit: www.rockcamp.com.

About Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy Camp

Since 1997, Rock ’n’ Roll Fantasy Camp has been giving individuals–regardless of their musical ability–a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to live like a rock star and jam with their idols. The sessions begin with an opening night party and include intensive rehearsals with rock star counselors and jams, master classes and Q&A’s with rock legends, recording an original song at historic studios and conclude with a sold-out, closing night performance at a legendary club. It’s a dream come true for any music fan. Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy Camp takes place annually in London at Abbey Road Studios and Los Angeles. Other camp locations have included New York and Las Vegas. For information, please visit: www.rockcamp.com.

Bret Michaels to resume touring May 28

Singer Bret Michaels has confirmed on his website that he will return to the concert stage on May 28. His agent Brian Ahern adds that Michaels plans to reschedule dates cancelled during his stint in intensive care. “We have been overwhelmed with well wishes and offers that continue to pour in,” Ahern says. Michaels’ first date on his Custom Built Tour will be in Biloxi, MS at the Hard Rock Live venue. To prepare for resuming his heavy tour schedule, the Rock of Love/Celebrity Apprentice/Poison star has upped his rehab sessions to twice daily.

And, host/producer of Celebrity Apprentice, Donald Trump, said, “We really hope that Bret is well and able to join us at the finale on May 23. [Bret] is a fighter and strong competitor.”

But, Michaels will get an even bigger media hit when he sits down for an interview with the queen of all television, Oprah Winfrey, this Wednesday, May 19.

Go Bret!

Ronnie not only was a giant in the worldwide metal scene, but he was also one of the nicest people you would ever want to meet. Beginning in 1983 when we first toured with Ronnie in Canada, and continuing over the last seven years when we played dozens of festivals around the world, Ronnie was one of the most supportive and gracious members of the music community.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with Wendy and Ronnie’s family.”

– Twisted Sister

“It is a very sad day today… I have lost a very dear friend.

“Ronnie was a true leader of heavy metal… an icon and a visionary… There will never be another like him.

“Ronnie gave me wisdom, and showed me great compassion when he was in ELF, all those years ago, when we were on tour together in my time inDEEP PURPLE. He was a beautiful soul, kind, considerate and a wonderful teacher.

“Some day I’ll be bringing your microphone up there with me, and we’ll sing a song, and share a Vindaloo together…

“I’ll miss, you mate.”

– vocalist/bassist Glenn Hughes (DEEP PURPLE, BLACK SABBATH)

“Crying right now in remembrance of my hero and friend, Ronnie James Dio.

“Dio died this morning and he was a major, major part of my life. I got to do shows with him and work with him and I loved Dio my whole life.

“Thanks so much.

“The world has lost one of the best.

“Your last album was your best. Of course.”

– Former SKID ROW singer Sebastian Bach adding his condolences to all of ours.

Ronnie died at 7:45am this morning, but his music will live for eternity. \m/

The House of Hair is saddened to report the passing of metal legend Ronnie James Dio today (Sunday, May 16).

Wrote his wife (and manager), Wendy:

Today my heart is broken, Ronnie passed away at 7:45am 16th May. Many, many friends and family were able to say their private good-byes before he peacefully passed away. Ronnie knew how much he was loved by all. We so appreciate the love and support that you have all given us. Please give us a few days of privacy to deal with this terrible loss. Please know he loved you all and his music will live on forever.

- Wendy Dio

Our thoughts are with his family, friends and many fans as we reflect on the loss of Ronnie, not only one of heavy metal’s greatest voices (Elf, Rainbow, Black Sabbath, Dio and Heaven & Hell), but one of its nicest people. You can leave your condolence message for Wendy on Ronnie’s Facebook Fan Page.

• Dee, what’s going on, bro? Happy belated birthday. I caught your show for the first time a few weeks ago. I heard Loudness’s “Crazy Nights” on the radio and thought, I’m sure I’ll be waking up any minute now, but no, it was for real. Thank the gods! Now, I’ve got it turned way up on Sunday morning disturbing the peace as I head out to my sparring class, so let me continue to disturb the peace this Sunday morning with D.A.D.’s “Sleeping My Day Away.” Why, you ask? Because it flat out rocks. You never heard these guys on the radio, ever. Even back in the day this was an obscure band on this side of the world which is a real shame; anyone lucky enough to know these guys knows what I’m talking about. So help me treat this side of the world to some kick-ass old school hair and turn this one up past 11 on your dial. Thanks!
