June Rusty Bladen | Rock News
latest from rustybladen.com and the world of American Rock:
Rusty had surgery on Tuesday, June 6 to remove much of the remaining plate and screws from his arm that was injured in his tour bus crash in October, 2004. Got a voice mail from him Thursday. He said he is doing well... and feels pretty good. As you will note from the schedule, he has no dates for the June 9/10 weekend, so he can rest. Dates are booked for the remainder of June in some of Rusty's favorite haunts in Southern Indiana. Check the page. And wish him luck in a speedy recovery.
***
Working on a video that was filmed in Indianapolis in May - part hotel room interview, part behind-the-scenes before a show. Will be posted to rustybladen.com when completed, which is expected to be within the next two weeks (sooner if editing can go quicker)
***
Of American Rock note, check out the Bruce Springsteen web video that is on AOL Music - a video for each night of his American Tour, including a stop on May 31 in Indianapolis. Tremendous quality and powerful performance - with 17-piece Seeger Sesions Band he has put together. Here is the link.
OTHER ROCK RUMBLES:
New Cheap Trick album "Rockford" out this week. Live Daily is calling it the best Cheap Trick since 1979's "Dream Police". I heard it. It's really a pretty good release. Powerpop/rock like the good old days. They played a show at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway during a rainy qualifications day this year and still had a spark. Good for them, I say... "rolling numbers, rock and rolling , got my KISS records out"....
I saw Guns &Roses show live from Rio online last week. Not good. Blame it on the rust of 15 years off and a band featuring none of GnR's originals, save a still throaty though now cartoonish Axl. Lots of smoke and lights and four guitar players. Didn't feel right or sound particularly good.
New Jack Ingram (country radio) single "Love You" is the best song of the year. Hear it here.
That's all for now. Rock on.
