Concert review - Candlebox - Town Ballroom - Buffalo, NY - May 9, 2012

Review/photos by Mike Suicide
 
Buffalo, NY - It's been some years since I heard the name Candlebox come up in conversation, let alone since I played their album, and it's been 20 years since I last stood in a crowd watching them perform.  I can vaguely remember when they headlined a tour with the Flaming Lips.

Concert review - Chicago - Seneca Niagara Casino - Niagara Falls, NY - May 5, 2012

Review by Diana MacDonald, photos by John Jeffrey
 
Niagara Falls, NY - Chicago, the self-described "rock and roll band with horns," is one of the longest running and successful groups in the history of music.  Needless to say, it was quite amazing to witness their jam packed, sold out show at the Seneca Niagara Events Center.  There was quite a buzz about this concert, as all day long, I encountered  people who were talking about Chicago, discussing how unique their sound is, as well as them being such a big influence during the 70's, and especially for me, in the 80's.  The concert was definitely a can't fail scenario.

CD review - George Lynch - "Legacy"

By Thomas S. Orwat, Jr.

Ex-Dokken guitarist, George Lynch proves that he is still one of the most gifted musicians on the planet with this all instrumental, four track EP. While he has struggled to find his true identity outside of Dokken, with a few hit, and mostly miss releases outside of the aforementioned band, this EP is a “full on, shred-fest” and perhaps Mr. Lynch’s most extraordinary work yet.

Interview - Dee Snider

Dee Snider, known from being the lead singer of the 80's cartoon rock band, Twisted Sister, is quite the busy man these days.  This month (May) Dee is releasing his first ever solo album, "Dee Does Broadway" (a 12 song disc of metalicized show tunes) and is also releasing his autobiography, "Shut Up and Give Me the Mic."  While Twisted Sister is mostly on the back burner these days, Dee has no signs of slowing down.  From TV to Broadway, and even the possibility of a sequel to his "Strangeland" film, Dee keeps his plate full.  Before taking another bite, Dee took some time out to speak with us here, at RMS.

Concert review - Theory of a Deadman - Town Ballroom, Buffalo, NY - April 28, 2012

Review/photos by Mike Suicide

Buffalo, NY - I walked into the Town Ballroom on Saturday night like a smug asshole, hoping that I wouldn't have to suffer through another post grunge, watered down, generic pile of bands. The mere notion of labeling bands like Nickelback and the like, 'post grunge,' eludes that they somehow have roots in grunge. This is absurd, since the grunge movement shares nothing with this genre of music. I've been pretty good at containing my personal feelings about mediocre bands so I figured, "What the hell?" Headliner's Theory of a Deadman is a Canadian band, and in Buffalo, that only means one thing - piles of hot Canadian girls will be in attendance (and I was right). Saturday night's Theory show featured opening bands Pop Evil and Stellar Revival, and it had been sold out for at least a week or two.
