Rock legends Creed brought their “Summer Of ’99” tour to the MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre in Tampa, Florida on Friday, September 20, 2024. 3 Doors Down provided direct support and Finger Eleven opened the show. It was a magical evening filled with stellar renditions of classic emotional songs.

Creed designed their set list to celebrate their three classic albums – My Own Prison, Human Clay and Weathered. Fans were in full voice throughout the night, as so many of these songs are deeply personal and burned into their brains. Vocalist Scott Stapp gave several long introductions to songs, pointing out their meaning to him, and encouraging people to unite, trust in God, and never give up fighting. His most inspirational talk revolved around not letting yourself or anyone else define you by your worst days. People are imperfect and make mistakes, sometimes repeatedly, but you can rise above those mistakes and continue to live the life that you want to live.

Lead guitarist Mark Tremonti was outstanding, showcasing his unique ability to play intricate beautiful melodies as well as shredding riffs and head banging guitar solos. Bassist Brian Marshall roamed the entire stage with a huge smile on his face all night. Drummer Scott Phillips was perched up high in the back, surrounded by massive video walls and plumes of fire. Tremonti, Marshall and Phillips are as tight as a live rock band can be, with their time outside of Creed spent playing in Alter Bridge. Guitarist Eric Friedman has joined the band on tour to enhance the live sound. Friedman also plays guitar in Tremonti.

Mark Tremonti gave away one of his PRS guitars midway through the set. He asked all of the fans to be as wild as possible during their performance of “What If”. He chose a young boy with crutches rocking in the pit with his father as the winner of the giveaway. It was a nice gesture, proving once again what a huge heart Mr. Tremonti possesses. Check out his work covering Frank Sinatra classics, raising money for NDSS – the National Down Syndrome Society.

Alter Bridge played the outdoor Summer Stage at the legendary Stone Pony in Asbury Park, New Jersey on August 2, 2023. Their good friends in Sevendust and Mammoth WVH featuring Wolfgang Van Halen were the supporting acts.

The outdoor stage, just across the street from the boardwalk on the infamous Jersey Shore, was an incredible setting. The vibe felt like a festival setup, with plenty of food and drink options available. The Stone Pony itself was open, including its bars and bathrooms, with local bands playing inside both before and after the main show.

Wolfgang Van Halen’s Mammoth WVH got the night started properly, showcasing several songs from their brand new album “Mammoth II”. Garrett Whitlock, Frank Sidoris, Jon Jourdan and Ronnie Ficarro were dynamic and entertaining. Wolfgang continues to grow as a vocalist, guitarist and songwriter. His future is quite bright.

Mammoth WVH continues to tour behind their second album, including headlining shows and support for the mighty Metallica. Go get your tickets and VIP experiences while you can, before they sell out. https://mammothwvh.com/

Sevendust has released their 14th album in 26 years, “Truth Killer”. This stellar collection of emotional rock songs continues a consecutive album streak which can only be compared to the record-setting sustained excellence shown by Cal Ripken Jr. during his 2,632 consecutive game streak for the Baltimore Orioles.

Ripken proved his excellence and reliability over 21 seasons, winning MVP’s, Gold Gloves and Silver Slugger awards. He played every day, for the team who drafted him, and is a model of consistency and excellence to be emulated.

Sevendust has produced outstanding records on a consistent basis, with a release every other year, on average. They have continued to deliver live performances which delight and amaze fans, old and new. Whether they are headlining a show, supporting others, or appearing at a festival, they make connections with their audience which only grow deeper over time. They have maintained the same lineup for 3 decades, which is almost unheard of in the music business.

Sevendust toured with their friends in Alter Bridge this summer. Their show at the Stone Pony Summer Stage on August 2, 2023 was outstanding, of course, but also extremely unusual. Guitarist John Connolly was forced to miss the show for the first time in the history of the band, after getting exposed to Covid while training for the New York City marathon (as part of Mark Tremonti’s Take A Chance For Charity initiative), and put himself in isolation for a few days.

Every Sevendust album contains incredible songs, and every Sevendust performance provides moments of emotion and catharsis which refresh your soul. Join the 7D Family at https://sevendust.com/ and never miss your chance to see them play.

Alter Bridge has begun the final North American leg of their “Pawns & Kings” 2023 Tour. The band played the outdoor Summer Stage at the legendary Stone Pony in Asbury Park, New Jersey on August 2, 2023. Their good friends in Sevendust and Mammoth WVH featuring Wolfgang Van Halen were the supporting acts.

The outdoor stage, just across the street from the boardwalk on the infamous Jersey Shore, was an incredible setting. The vibe felt like a festival setup, with plenty of food and drink options available. The Stone Pony itself was open, including its bars and bathrooms, with local bands playing inside both before and after the main show.

Alter Bridge mixed up the setlist a bit compared to earlier this year. Mark Tremonti took lead vocals on the classic “Burn It Down”, just after delivering stellar harmony vocals on “Sin After Sin”, which is perhaps the strongest track from their latest epic album “Pawns & Kings”. Spoiler alert: full set list below.

Wolfgang Van Halen’s Mammoth WVH got the night started properly, showcasing several songs from their brand new album “Mammoth II”. Garrett Whitlock, Frank Sidoris, Jon Jourdan and Ronnie Ficarro were dynamic and entertaining. Wolfgang continues to grow as a vocalist, guitarist and songwriter. His future is quite bright.

Sevendust played one of the more unique shows of their career. Guitarist John Connolly was forced to miss the show for the first time in the history of the band, after getting exposed to Covid while training for the New York City marathon (as part of Mark Tremonti’s Take A Chance For Charity initiative), and put himself in isolation for a few days. Kudos to Clint Lowery for holding things down throughout yet another magical, emotional performance.

Finally, Scott Phillips, Brian Marshall, Mark Tremonti and Myles Kennedy emerged, as the sun set behind them, and a blood moon rose over the Atlantic Ocean. Alter Bridge has never played a bad show, but this night felt extra special. Perhaps it was the full moon, or the cool ocean breeze giving the northeast a break in the middle of a sweltering hot summer, or the awesome mood established by Sevendust and Mammoth WVH. Whatever it was, it even had Myles commenting that he was having so much fun vibing with the crowd, he was concerned that his guitar playing might get sloppy. That was clearly not going to happen, and his skills were evident during his acoustic performance of “Watch Over You” and his dramatic introduction to “Cry of Achilles”.

Alter Bridge continues to dominate the rock world with their talent, grace, songwriting and performing acumen. Go get your tickets and VIP experiences while you can, before they sell out. https://alterbridge.com/pages/tour

Alter Bridge Lights Up Asbury Park, New Jersey on ‘Pawns & Kings’ Tour 2023 first appeared on Game On Media.

Welcome To Rockville kept the party going at Daytona International Speedway with classic rock music and dedicated fans on Saturday, May 20, 2023.

It was another smoking hot day in the sun as The Violent (formerly known as Red Sun Rising) played the Octane stage. They played songs from their brand new album, which sound like sure fire hits, especially “Wrap Your Head Around”.

Dayseeker hit the Space Zebra stage dressed in full black suits as synth sounds played on tracks. A lot of people were here early for them. Vocalist Rory Rodriguez has a great voice. The crowd loved the ballad “Neon Grave”, which he wrote for his dad who passed away after battling cancer.

Hammerhedd shredded on the Rockvillian stage. These teenager brothers really know how to thrash. The singer/guitarist looks and sounds like Jason Newsted. These 3 brothers formed the band a decade ago at the ages of 9, 7 and 4. They have since quit sports and school to rawk full time and have released 2 albums.

Pop Evil took over the Octane stage, playing some new songs along with the old favorites. They were wearing their night stage outfits in the hot sun, which had to feel uncomfortable, but I suppose bands are not used to playing daytime shows in the Florida sun.

Unfortunately, Alter Bridge had to cancel last minute, due to Myles Kennedy having a respiratory infection.

Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Evening was next up on the Space Zebra stage. For those about to rock, when you hear AC-DC coming through the PA, you know the show is about to start. Jason thanked the crowd for allowing him to continue a 13 year thank you to the greatest rock and roll drummer of all time, his Dad John Bonham.

Suicide Silence played the Rockvillian stage, which once again was way too small of a viewing area for the massive crowd. The band had to stop and tell people to move back to make room for the wall of death pit. 30 seconds later they had to stop the show and call security for someone injured on the pavement. And then they got right back to it. This stage really should be in a bigger area on grass. This aggressive band basically screams “Fuck everything grrrrrr” and is a bit too angry. Where do you go from there?

Chevelle rocked the Octane stage in the still bright sunlight, doing their thing. So many people kept streaming in to claim their viewing spot, with Godsmack up next on this stage.

Alice Cooper still kicking ass over 50 years later at age 75. Even without all the typical stagecraft, the songs hold up. Nita Strauss is back and shredder than ever. There was a sick 3 headed guitar solo halfway thru set. The classic elements such as the snake, FrankenAlice monster, and beheading took this show to the next level.

Godsmack displayed a pyro warning about loud concussions (booms) before they dropped the curtains on an explosive show. “When Legends Rise” is the perfect concert opener. It builds up slowly and everyone gets to sing along. “1000hp” featured many fire bursts, like it wasn’t hot enough already. There was an endless supply of crowd surfers pouring down during “Cryin’ Like A Bitch!!”. The boys played 3 new songs from “Lighting Up The Sky” – “You And I”, “What About Me” and “Surrender” – which all went over well. The classic Batalla de los tambores is back, AKA the Sully Erna – Shannon Larkin drum-off. The crowd was insanely loud, screaming along to “Whatever” and “I Stand Alone”. Godsmack has been at this for 25 years, and this was one of their best shows ever.

The night ended with the Pantera tribute. Phil Anselmo, Rex Brown, Zakk Wylde and Charlie Benante are touring to celebrate the legacy of metal music created by Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul. The grounds were packed solid all the way to the ferris wheel as they delivered 14 classic rock anthems.

Mammoth WVH is currently direct support for Alter Bridge on the 2023 North American tour, which began on January 25, 2023 at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tampa, Florida. Visit https://www.mammothwvh.com/ for tour dates and do not miss this show.

Mammoth WVH had 45 minutes to showcase Wolfgang Van Halen’s incredible talents on vocals, guitar and keyboards. Their songs are tremendous and sound great in person. Wolfgang performed every note of his solo debut album, so he had to recruit a killer band to play the songs live. Garrett Whitlock, Frank Sidoris, Jon Jourdan and Ronnie Ficarro are already a tight unit, delivering songs with precision.

Once upon a time, Garrett Whitlock and Wolfgang Van Halen were the rhythm section for one of Mark Tremonti’s projects, Tremonti. It was great to see them all on the same stage, showcasing their incredible skills.

Alter Bridge has begun their 2023 North American “Pawns & Kings” Tour. The first show took place at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tampa, Florida on January 25, 2023. Red and Mammoth WVH featuring Wolfgang Van Halen were the supporting acts.

The Events Center at the Hard Rock Tampa is a perfect venue for concerts. The floor section was open for standing, and there are 4 sets of bleacher seating behind that. That allows every attendee to choose their preferred viewing location.

The place was packed, and fans could be heard singing along to all of their favorites. Alter Bridge also played a good selection of new songs from their 7th album. Every song went over well.

Despite having 2 opening acts, Alter Bridge still performed a full headlining set, playing for 1 hour and 45 minutes. They got 17 songs in, covering their entire 2 decades of brilliance. Spoiler alert: full set list below.

Red opened the night with an intense set, warming up with the audience with their passionate performance. Michael Barnes, Anthony Armstrong and Randy Armstrong have been together for 20 years and it shows.

Finally, Scott Phillips, Brian Marshall, Mark Tremonti and Myles Kennedy took the stage, nearly 3 years since their last U.S. show. Their emotional lyrics and beautiful music are always a blessing to experience live in concert. The connection between fan and artist is clearly evident to all.

Alter Bridge will be back on North American concert stages this winter. These musicians return with a quiet dedication to writing meaningful songs and performing unforgettable shows (and they’ve delivered both with almost alarming consistency). Still, the influential quartet—Myles Kennedy [vocals, guitar], Mark Tremonti [guitar, vocals], Brian Marshall [bass], and Scott Phillips [drums]—ascend to yet another level on 2022’s Pawns & Kings [Napalm Records]. It is the culmination of almost two decades together soaked in blood, sweat, tears, and the triumph earned through never giving up. It represents the bandmates’ dedication to one another and their collective devotion to a devout fanbase.

They are bringing along old friend Wolfgang Van Halen and his band Mammoth WVH. Some dates will include either Red or Pistols At Dawn.

Alter Bridge and Mammoth WVH 2023 Tour Dates first appeared on Game On Media.

2022 saw the return to full time touring and consistent album release cycles. With many artists forced off the road for 2 years, creativity flourished and a ton of great music was released in 2022. With so many of my favorite artists releasing albums in 2022, this list was extremely difficult to put together. Fortunately, these bands delivered some of their strongest material to date, so the hardest part was sorting them. Here are our Five Fave: 2022 Mainstream Rock Albums.

#5 – Nothing More – Spirits

Nothing More released “Spirits” in 2022, an album 5 years in the making. With their self-titled 2014 debut and 2017’s “The Stories We Tell Ourselves” delivering hit after hit after hit, expectations were high for this creative band. Jonny Hawkins, Mark Vollelunga, Daniel Oliver and Ben Anderson put in the work and it shows. “Spirits” continues the unique path which Nothing More has charted for itself, full of the entire spectrum of sounds and emotions we have come to expect. Special effects, spoken word interludes and dramatic shifts in tone and tempo provide the perfect backdrop for deeply personal lyrics touching on love, mental health, socio-politics and philosophy.

Standout Tracks: You Don’t Know What Love Means, Best Times, Spirits

#4 – Halestorm – Back From The Dead

Halestorm has been steadily climbing the ladder to rock superstardom for more than a decade. Lzzy Hale has one of the best voices in rock and roll history. She possesses the ability to craft songs which fans can identify with, and all are welcome for the ride. “Back From The Dead” captures so many of the feelings and emotions that the world has experienced in the past few years. No matter the issue – love or loss, injustice or isolation – these songs offer cathartic release and cautious optimism. The album is a musical self-help therapy session, whether you are listening alone, or better yet, experiencing it live in concert, as part of the community that feels best screaming along together. Arejay Hale, Joe Hottinger and Josh Smith know how to inject joy and emotion into any song.

Standout Tracks: Raise Your Horns, The Steeple, Wicked Ways

#3 – Shinedown – Planet Zero

Shinedown has built a career diving into the darkness, and documenting a way out. “Planet Zero” is largely a warning of a possible future where we lose our humanity. Tucked within a science fiction concept album are subtle clues about how to recapture the brightness and brilliance that we all have within. Brent Smith, Barry Kerch, Zach Myers and Eric Bass complement each other perfectly. Each moment gets what it needs, whether that is a full out sonic assault, or a tender touch.

Standout Tracks: Daylight, America Burning, Dysfunctional You

#2 – Ghost – Impera

Ghost is one of the most creative rock bands of all time. Led by Tobias Forge, who transmogrifies from one religious icon to another, and a merry band of Nameless Ghouls who remain anonymous at all times, Ghost loves to play with religious concepts and traditions. “Impera” conceptually takes a look at the rise and fall of empires, and how that is playing out today. With each album, the band seems to grow sonically and consistently, and “Impera” is infectious and enjoyable from start to finish. They were even tapped to write a song for the final “Halloween” movie – “Hunter’s Moon” – a view of events from inside the mind of a serial killer. Literally every song has something special which grabs you and won’t let go. “Impera” is an album that gets better with every listen.

Standout Tracks: Hunter’s Moon, Spillways, Griftwood

#1 – Alter Bridge – Pawns & Kings

You can set your musical memory clock to Alter Bridge. Every three years, Mark Tremonti, Scott Phillips, Brian Marshall and Myles Kennedy deliver an exquisite package of emotional songs to add to the collection. 2004 introduced “One Day Remains”, 2007 brought “Blackbird”, 2010 dropped “AB III”, 2013 built “Fortress”, 2016 saw “The Last Hero”, 2019 sent “Walk The Sky”, and 2022 gave us “Pawns & Kings”. While each of these albums contains great music, this release is my favorite since “AB III”. There are many sonic pathways chosen, and all of them pay off. There is plenty of inspirational lyrical content, finding the truth and light in the darkness. And, of course, there is so much delicious guitar wizardry, you can listen to “Pawns & Kings” over and over again.

Standout Tracks: Sin After Sin, Stay, Pawns & Kings

Five Fave: 2022 Mainstream Rock Albums first appeared on Game On Media.

Tool, Slipknot, Avenged Sevenfold, Pantera Lead Welcome To Rockville 2023 Festival Lineup first appeared on Game On Media.

Mark Tremonti has been the most prolific and creative song writer of the past 25 years. As lead guitarist and backup vocalist for Creed and Alter Bridge, he has delivered a combined 10 albums full of pure rock and roll magic. For his solo project, Tremonti, he also takes on lead vocal duties. The fifth Tremonti album, “Marching In Time”, released in 2021, showcases a maturing sound for the band, and a dramatic expansion of his vocal abilities and melodic phrasing. Unbeknownst to everyone in the rock world, Mr. Tremonti was working hard on a secret passion project, diligently studying the unique delivery of one Frank Sinatra. While “Marching In Time” benefitted greatly from this intense training, the true magic was being created behind the scenes.

Accompanied by surviving members of Sinatra’s band as well as various top-notch players, Tremonti cut 14 classics for “Tremonti Sings Sinatra”, which he gifted to the National Down Syndrome Society (NDSS) as part of his new organization Take A Chance For Charity. 100% of the album’s proceeds will go to NDSS to help people with developmental disabilities. 

Inspired by his own daughter Stella, Mark Tremonti has combined his passion for Frank Sinatra with the charitable spirit of Ol’ Blue Eyes himself, in an effort to help others living with Down Syndrome.

“For years, Iʼve loved singing along to Frankʼs songs,” Mark explains. “One night, I found an old video of him performing ʻThe Song Is Youʼ from 1944. It made me want to dive into his vocal approach. I was all in and I wanted to do something with it. When we found out about our daughter Stellaʼs Down syndrome diagnosis, the stars aligned. My obsession with Sinatra had its reason. Frank Sinatra raised more than a billion dollars for charity and that is a fact I wish the public knew more about. Beneath his cool and calm persona, he had a big heart. Doing this charity in his name was another way the stars had aligned. I decided to do this record to raise funds for families and individuals with Down syndrome. This project is the start of a new purpose that I will have for the rest of my life.”

“Tremonti Sings Sinatra” serves as the inaugural project for his new Take A Chance For Charity movement. It encourages and empowers artists, actors, athletes, and entertainers of all stripes to step into unexpected territory with a creative initiative for charity. Whether it be a football player singing country, an actor salsa dancing, or a guitar player singing Sinatra, it’s all for a great cause.

“So many talented people have other skills that their fans or followers would never expect,” he leaves off. “This is the chance to do something you’re passionate about for charity. It’s a greenlight to do whatever you want to do. It’s a win-win all around. I want people to talk about this enough to get other artists to participate,” he leaves off. “Someday, I hope I’m a little old man who raised 100 million dollars for charity. My daughter has already made everyone around her a better person. To do this for her means the world to me.”

Mark Tremonti Takes A Chance For Charity With Frank Sinatra Project first appeared on Game On Media.

Tremonti, which is Mark Tremonti’s side hustle when not leading Alter Bridge or Creed, has released its 5th hard rock album, “Marching In Time”. The band is as sharp and tight as ever, with rhythm guitarist Eric Friedman, bassist Tanner Keegan and recently added drummer Ryan Bennett fleshing out the consistently brilliant songwriting of Mark Tremonti. Somehow, he continues to create new riffs, new sounds and more relatable lyrics with each offering.

Tremonti is on tour this fall with fellow veteran rockers Daughtry and Sevendust, along with Travis Bracht. With this latest collection, the Tremonti setlist is as solid and inspiring as one from any of his other bands.

Alter Bridge burst onto the music scene in 2004 with the release of their gold-selling debut, One Day Remains. In 2007, the band released Blackbird, the album that elevated the band’s profile worldwide. The epic solo in the title track “Blackbird” was voted “Greatest Guitar Solo Of All Time” by Guitarist Magazine. ABIII was released in 2010 and the single “Isolation” gave the band their first #1 single. In 2013, the band reached an elevated creative and critical plateau with Fortress. It bowed at #12 on the Billboard Top 200, moving over 30,000 copies first-week and earning unanimous tastemaker praise. The record garnered perfect scores from Total Guitar and KERRANG! as well as acclaim from Billboard, The Guardian, Loudwire, Ultimate Guitar, and many more. In between sold out tours in Europe and North America, the guys appeared on VH1 and graced the cover of Classic Rock Magazine who labeled Fortress, “The best thing they’ve ever done,” while Eddie Trunk called it, “A top 10 album of the last 10 years.” 2016’s The Last Hero gave the band their first Top 10 album since their debut. ALTER BRIDGE has appeared on The Tonight Show and Jimmy Kimmel Live and their music has been used by the WWE, Major League Baseball and NASCAR to name a few. The band recently released the video and audio of their career highlight, Live At The Royal Albert Hall, featuring ALTER BRIDGE backed by the 52-piece Parallax Orchestra led by conductor Simon Dobson. In December 2019, Guitar World magazine voted Mark Tremonti the Guitarist of the Decade and their latest album Walk The Sky ended up on numerous year end lists signifying ALTER BRIDGE are showing no signs of slowing down.

Alter Bridge Postpones Spring Headline Tour With Black Stone Cherry and Saint Asonia first appeared on Game On Media.

Clint Lowery debuted his solo band and solo material, directly supporting Alter Bridge on their Walk The Sky tour at The Wiltern in Los Angeles, California on February 24, 2020. Best known as one of the guitarists and background vocalists for Sevendust, Lowery is finally recording and touring on his own.

Lowery’s album “God Bless The Renegades” is full of personal introspection and thoughtful observation. The music is in the hard rock style, with layers of guitars and vocals creating a full sound. Lowery has a beautiful soothing voice that truly shines on this album. Anyone familiar with his Hello Demons Meet Skeletons work will be pleased.

Clint Lowery performed vocals, guitar, bass and drums while recording “God Bless The Renegades”, with additional drums and bass provided by Wolfgang Van Halen. To recreate these layered sounds in a live setting, he enlisted Jonathan Jourdan on guitar and vocals, Ryan Bennett on drums, and Pat Seals on bass.

For a new band performing songs that hadn’t been heard before, the crowd reception was exceptional. This is a testament to the talent and professionalism that Lowery brings to bear, albeit in a new role for him. Hopefully he will follow the model set forth by Alter Bridge’s Mark Tremonti and Myles Kennedy, and continue to write and perform his own material in between Sevendust cycles.

Clint Lowery Thrills Los Angeles with “God Bless the Renegades” first appeared on Game On Media.

Alter Bridge continued their Walk The Sky tour at their familiar stop at The Wiltern in Los Angeles, California on February 24, 2020. They are supported on this leg by Sevendust guitarist Clint Lowery and his solo band, and Deepfall.

With six outstanding albums to choose from, Alter Bridge has reached that stage where they could play for hours and you would still be able to wish they had played more songs. They played 4 songs each from their latest classic “Walk The Sky” and landmark “Blackbird”, 3 songs from “One Day Remains” and “Fortress”, and 2 songs from “AB III”. The full set list is below. This was perhaps my favorite sequencing of songs, with perfect pacing that took fans on an emotional journey.

There is perhaps no better concert experience than seeing a well-oiled machine of a band in a more intimate club or theater setting. The Wiltern offers multiple levels of standing room, balcony seating, a large stage, incredible lighting and perfect sound.

After 16 years together, Alter Bridge continues to rise in their songwriting and performances. Drummer Scott Phillips masterfully leads the group through all of their time signatures and sonic emotions. Bassist Brian Marshall is the epitome of cool, hanging back or stepping forward as the song dictates. Vocalist / guitarist Myles Kennedy just keeps getting better and better on vocals and guitar. Lead guitarist / vocalist Mark Tremonti shows his MVP status with his solos, riffs, harmony vocals and even lead vocals. This combination of musical brothers complements and enhances each other, producing one of the best live rock shows you will ever experience.

The Alter Bridge set list for The Wiltern in Los Angeles, California on February 24, 2020:

Wouldn’t You Rather
Isolation
Come to Life
Pay No Mind
Ghost of Days Gone By
Broken Wings
Dying Light
Rise Today
Cry of Achilles
Waters Rising
Watch Over You
