AXL, WHAT'S UP WITH THE CORN ROWS?
So, I was at the G n'R show the other night. Let's start with Detroit's own NOVADRIVER. They HAD to be pumped to be playing The Palace and opening the show! How sweet is that!? They sounded awesome & I'm glad some hometown boys got some major stage time. The SUICIDE GIRLS...ya seen one hoochie, ya seen'em all, so onward to SEBASTIAN BACH. He sounded, at the risk of being redundant, awesome. He has so much energy on stage & his voice has held up well over the years. He can still scream with the best of them! It was about a 45 minute wait for Axl & company. They hit the stage at 11:35 to the opening licks of "Welcome To The Jungle." Crowd went nuts. Robin Fink is Axl's axe man of choice & although I would have liked to have seen Slash playing those solos, Mr. Fink did extremely well! I was very impressed with his skills. Axl's voice was intact, although it sounded to me like he was struggling with the sound. I don't know, could be my ears or the arena acoustics, but at times it seemed his mic was cutting in & out. Maybe I was just drunk. All in all I'd say it was a pretty good show. Good mix of G n' R classics & new stuff from the yet to be released "Chinese Democracy." I think when I finally go to that big radio station in the sky, my epitaph will read, "Did the new Guns n' Roses cd come out yet?"
Have fun Christmas shopping & we'll see you at AEROSMITH/HINDER this Friday at the JLA & The Monster Truck Nationals at The Palace on Saturday.
Rock!

GUNS N' F'N TURKEY!
Let me be the first to wish you & your's a happy Thanksgiving! It's a short week for many and there's no shortage of things to do & places to go. There's Riff party's at the Post Bar in Auburn Hills and Club 54 in Clinton Township with Anne Carlini & Doug Podell this Wednesday, the biggest party day of the year outside of New Years Eve. Screamin' Scott hosts the Riff's Ultimate Tailgate Bash at Vivio's at the Eastern Market for the Lion's Thanksgiving Day game. Suzy Cole broadcasts live this Friday night from Moose McGregors in Brownstown. Saturday Axl Rose and a whole different set of gunners pull the tour bus into the Palace of Auburn Hills. I'll be holding court at the Riff booth inside the Palace, so if your goin', stop by & say hi. Don't forget about the Gun's n' Roses pre-party at the Post Bar across the street from the Palace! If you need more info on this stuff, quit wasting your time reading my blahg & check the events section of wrif.com!!

MY NAME IS MUD
What up peeps? I'll be at the PRIMUS show this Tuesday night at The State Theatre. If you're goin', well then I'll see ya there, won't I ?
Reminder: SALIVA palys The Hard Rock Cafe' downtown after the Christmas Tree lighting ceremony. Should be cool. I really like the new SALIVA tune, "Ladies & Gentlemen." If you haven't heard it, keep it on the Riff & you will. Hell, make it down to the show to hear it live!
This Saturday night from 8 to 10 I'll be hanging at The Hamlin Pub in Clarkston. Beer specials, drink specials, Riff swag, everything you've come to expect from the Riff when we hit the streets! So, put down the Cheetos, get off the couch, change into your drinkin' shoes, round up your friends & hang out with us!
One more thing: My wonderful sister, Shari, has a movie coming to a theatre near you in early '07. It's called, "Saving America: The Diary of a Generation. www.savingamericathefilm.com if you'd like to see what it's all about.
Rock!

WHAT DO THE RED WINGS, CELLPHONES, COLOGNE & KISS HAVE IN COMMON? ME!
This Saturday afternoon I get to hang with Paul Stanley of KISS! You can too. He'll be at the Parisian department store in Rochester 3pm to 5pm signing bottles of the new KISS cologne for men & KISS perfume for the ladies. I always thought I'd meet Paul Stanley backstage at a KISS show in costume & make-up, not in the fragrance isle of a department store. Weird...but cool none the less. Don't forget Paul is at the Emerald Theater in Mt. Clemens on Sunday for a show with the Riff.
Sunday from 2pm to 4pm you'll find me in Ann Arbor at the Verizon Wireless store with
Kris Draper and Chris Chelios of the Detroit Red Wings. Come get a new phone & an autograph from these future hall of famers. Don't worry, we'll have Riff swag for you at both places while it lasts.
See ya then!
Dave
