The Rods July 18th

Hey Scott,

It was a great show! Here's some pics I took if your interested:

I wish to see that show too. I love THE RODS. I hope they will release a new studio album in the future.

I'm not sure I'd want a new Rods studio album. It's been decades since their last one and I'm not so sure how it would fare. I suppose if they wrote and album in the Rods classic style it might be cool, but I have a feeling they would try to do something a bit more modern sounding.

I would go see The Rods on a reunion tour, that would be good enough in my book. I agree with ultmetal that we don't really need another Rods album.

I would have loved to have been able to see The Rods live.

A new release is due around the beginning of the year. Ronnie Dio is on a few of the tracks. The show was great! First time I've seen them since probably around 1983.
I'm going to see them again tonight in Cortland.They're doing a free outdoor show for the main St Music Fest that goes on every Friday during the summer.Here's a vid from the Ithaca show:

I had a potential boss who played on the 'Heavier Than Thou' album, among other things... but I won't go into why I didn't ultimately take the job.

The "Rods". *gigglegiggle*

The Rods Live was one of my favorite albums from the early 80's....

Another killer show tonight!!
They lost total stage power about 3/4 of the way through the set but it was back up in about 10 minutes. Two encores tonight,the last one being a old Elf tune,"Sit Down Honey".
Tonights show added three more pages to the photo album:

Well, another last minute show was booked last week. They were asked to open for LA Guns and the show was last night. It should be the last State side gig before Norway.

A bit of a wild night with it's share of problems. Lack of stage room due to the Guns set up was one.

Next was a group of wasted people that came from the Blue Oyster Cult/Bad Co show that had just ended across town.For some reason they didn't mix too well with the club crowd. Throw a bunch of strippers into the mix and next thing you know fists,tables and chairs were flying.

One thing that was cool was the guys from Bad Co showed up to check out the show but they got caught in the bullshit and I think may have left.

The strippers were hired by the club to strip during the LA Guns set.Carl got a few of them to come up for "Violation". That whole boobs and booze scenario started more fights for some reason. That's why last nights pics are scatterd. Just trying to keep out of the way.

In the end still a fun night and great Rods set. The new pics have been added to the album:
