Adelitas Way
On Tour Soon!
While many would agree that 2011 quite likely wasn't the greatest year in the history of Rock & Roll, many would agree there was plenty of good to spread around. From individual album releases to increasingly popular package concerts featuring four or five solid bands in one evening, there was plenty to pique the interest of most fans of the genre and boatloads to satisfy the fans of individual artists. Adelitas Way joined us on a particularly fun night, Monday June 6, 2011, the night before the debut of their second album, an album with our favorite title of the year, "Home School Valedictorian", and it was a portent of good things to come for the band. That night they shared the show with our friends in Burn Halo and it was only about ten weeks later in late August that Adelitas charismatic vocalist, Rick DeJesus, joined us again for a special edition ROCKLINE featuring the frontmen of one of those multi-band tours we mentioned, this one for the Carnival of Madness tour. In a room of full of vocal heavyweights including Tyler Connolly (Theory of a Deadman), Myles Kennedy (Alter Bridge & Slash), Chris Robertson (Black Stone Cherry) and more, Rick more than held his own and gave us a glimpse of what was to come for Adelitas Way.
Part of what was forthcoming was choosing "The Collapse" as the follow up single
to their hugely successful song "Sick" which had reached Number Two on the Rock charts. The latest look reveals The Collapse firmly ensconced at Number 3
on the chart. Visit the band at AdelitasWayMusic.net and make sure
to join us for the band's impending appearance on the show as we plan to get pushy
and find out what the third single will be (no pressure to follow two top three
songs, eh?) and learn about their huge forthcoming tour beginning in Anaheim in
March including Shinedown and Art of Dying, yet another hot multi band tour
event. Who knows what 2012 will look like overall, but this Vegas based band is a good bet to keep the party lively and loud.
Join us for a band worth seeing, hearing and talking about, it's Adelitas Way on
the next ROCKLINE!

Rockline Time Capsule
VAN HALEN
On extremely rare occasions we dig really deep into our unrivaled Rockline Vault for shows of particular import. One can do that when there are over thirty years of shows to choose from. The impetus for this week's broadcast is so clear and obvious we'd be remiss if we didn't offer you Van Halen from February 20, 1984. Amazingly, it's almost twenty-eight years to the day since the last VH album involving David Lee Roth was released. The night we did this show with Roth, Michael Anthony and Alex Van Halen it would be fair to say that no one in the room (and there was quite the cast of characters there) had any clue this would be their last album together for so darned long, or that a scant thirteen and a half months later, on April 1, 1985, Diamond Dave would be completely out of the band. The one person who might have known wasn't there that night, Edward Van Halen. More on that later. Their long awaited (ya think?) new album, "A Different Kind of Truth" will be released the day before this broadcast, so we'll be sure to drop in a couple of new songs, but the focus of this program is on the then brand new album, "1984" which went on to achieve a Diamond Award for sales in excess of 10,000,000 copies in the USA alone.
A little about this show: it's intense, silly, loud, rude, creative, vulgar, insane and for some likely to be a bit much. In other words, this is REAL Rock & Roll with hookers and blow, copious amounts of alcohol and illegal enough for everyone there to have gotten 6 to 10 in state prison had the wrong people popped in. Speaking of which, where was Eddie? We're not 100% sure, but the reasons range from him wanting to stay clean and sober (that night) to Valerie Bertinelli asking that he stay with her that evening to his growing rift with and distaste for Roth. Our money is on the last possibility. Dave brought a boom box with a load of cassettes cued to sound effects, music or gags that he used throughout the evening, roadies with extremely long little pinkie fingernails prowled the studio looking for available noses, Michael chugged Jack Daniels, Alex washed away on a sea of Schlitz Malt-Liquor and a stripper (or more) somehow got into the studio and did what those kind of ladies do and then some and quickly the entire evening was out of control. Host Bob Coburn readily admits, "It's the only show that ever got away from me. And that was OK".
Join us for the craziest show in our history, Van Halen from Atlanta in 1984. They're back...they heard you missed them.
