With things returning to normal, I decided to go get some 80s rock bands. Sadly there are many barely valids who replaced the original members in those bands, in some cases even the lead singer. But I still did solid.
Some highlights from the first day include:
Group photo op with 3 original members of the band Little Ceaser: Loren Molinare, Ron Young, and Tom Morris. Ron Young also had a small part in Terminator 2. He is the biker that Arnold throws him out the window. Tom Morris had a mask on and I asked him to remove it, which he did.
Group photo op with original members of Hurricane: Robert Sarzo and Tony Cavazo.
Group photo op with 3 original members of Bullet Boys: Marq Torien, Mick Sweda, Jimmy D'Anda, and the fourth original member Lonnie Vencent separately.
Original members of Winger, Kip Winger, Reb Beach, Rod Morgenstein. Kip was virus phobic so I had to hold my breath while he was in the car.
Got the original lead singer of Stealheart, Miljenko Matijevic. He also did the signing voice of Mark Wahlberg in Rock star and even subbed for Jim Morrison for a Doors tour.
Got Steven Adler of Guns and Roses again. He signed me a drum head then another drum head the next day.
Steve Riley of LA Guns fame did only mask shots on day 1 and refused to take off the mask. But the next day he removed the mask for photo ops without asking.
For day 2 my main wants were Warrant band members I missed in the past. They are most famous for the song "Cherry Pie". Sadly the lead singer is dead, but of the 4 originals still alive I needed 2 (one of the four wasn't on this tour thankfully I had him). The ones I needed were guitarists Erik Turner and Jerry Dixon. Thankfully I eventually got them after fumbling in the first attempt.
I got photos with Great White original members Mark Kendall and Audie Desbrow and almost original member Michael Lardie (he wasn't on the first album but on all the others).
I got Nightranger members though I had them already.
Lita Ford blanked when I tried to get her. And we never saw Steve Sex Sommers of Pretty Boy Floyd fame.
