Last week, the Vans Warped Tour hit So Cal with a few dates. I had not been to the Warped tour before, so figured I should try it out. Friday I went out and shot the show at the Fairplex in Pomona. I should start by saying that my son had warned me I may not like the “Emo” type crowd – or the music. He was right, and wrong. The Warped tour – for those that have not heard of it – is a festival type concert with about 9 stages. Each stage hosts anywhere from 4- 15 throughout one very long day. Along with the band performances, there are various food and merchandise vendors, and a ton people…

Atlantic City was the place to be this past weekend to see Metallica headlining the two day Orion Festival that they organized. Not only did they book and plan the whole thing, but it looks like they spent the weekend cruising around the festival introducing bands on stage as well. Then they wrapped up the first night with their closing set, including a performance of the Ride The Lightning album in it’s entirety, all of which you can watch in the video above. Enjoy!

Tuesday night at the Honda Center in Anaheim Van Halen nailed a 2 hour show. I still can’t figure out how, or why, the 80′s dance band Kool and the Gang was the opening act, but I have to say… it was a good show.

There are those bands that we rockers want to see before we die. Too often though, it’s impossible. The bands break up, die, or meet some other untimely end before we get the chance. Van Halen was one of those…

That’s what Lars Ulrich says about the upcoming 3D IMAX movie that Metallica is working on currently…

We posted up the clips of Mick Jagger jamming with the Foo Fighters from the Saturday Night Live finale yesterday, but (Thanks Rolling Stone magazine!) here is the fun we didn’t see that happened at the cast party after the show..

I had a chance to see the original Pink Floyd concert for The Wall, but ended up missing it. I had always regretted that, so when Roger Waters started touring with this version of The Wall… I knew I was going. Last year I saw the show at The Staples Center, and it is a fantastic show. Take a look at the opening image. You see the graffiti and banners behind Roger? That is The Wall, a pure white wall, with projections that change through the show.

In case you missed the Saturday Night Live season finale this past weekend, here is the great jam Mick Jagger (who also hosted the show) layed down with the Foo Fighters backing him. More videos after the jump…

Roger Waters brought his astounding rock spectacle The Wall to the L.A. Coliseum this past weekend. Amazing!

This is pretty cool. At their show in New Jersey this past weekend, The Red Hot Chili Peppers paid tribute to the late Adam Yauch (aka MCA) of the Beastie Boys with a live version of the Beastie’s “So What’cha Want” during an instrumental jam…

Olympic organizers recently contacted the Who’s management office asking if Keith Moon would be interested in participating in the upcoming ceremonies. Only one thing – he’s been dead since 1978.
