Bash Fest is an event that began when NAMM kicked off and continued on through January 20th, where the Bonzo Bash was about to happen. It all takes place at the old-school Yost Theatre in downtown Santa Ana. What’s Bonzo Bash you ask? Well…it’s only a tribute to one of the world’s best drummers, Led […]
The stars came out in droves and Backstage360 was proud to have covered the first awards ceremony for the history of heavy metal. CEO / Founder Pat Gesualdo brimmed with enthusiasm as he expounded the virtues of this (his) new organization and it was rousing to hear. Pat is doing a great thing for Metal […]
It was a night to remember Killer guitarist, Ronnie Montrose and those in attendance certainly did. As the evening unfolded, I found myself out on the red carpet talking to some of the who’s-who of the rock world as they showed up to, not only remember the man, but PLAY and pay tribute to him […]

Forgive the pun, but when was the last time you went to a nightclub with your buddy to see The Eagles? Well, for some of us the answer is NEVER! The only way to see them now is at a Coliseum, Arena, Amphitheater, or Stadium…and for how much??? Not all fans of rock can afford […]
Over 100,000 people showed up in droves to Anaheim for four days of music and mayhem! Well, mostly music…but it was definitely organized chaos with as many people as I saw milling about. The National Association of Music Merchants brought everything you could imagine about music under the roof of the Anaheim Convention Center from […]
Tina Jackson. The daughter, the mother, the friend, the faithful follower, the dreamer, the poet, and the conduit through which the voice of angels flow through…the woman that encompasses all that renews my faith in our world and society! I have told the story many times and here will be no different. I still remember […]
Dario Mollo’s CROSSBONES’ new release Rock The Cradle is one of those albums that you can listen to on repeat and it’ll still feel new each cycle. I wasn’t sure how to classify Dario’s production style at first; it seemed to be all over the place, but as you listen to the album front to […]
Opening for Journey on this beautiful clear night in Chula Vista was none other than The Doobie Brothers. After a few minutes to get seated – it was time for The Doobie Brothers to take the stage. These guys were a staple of the summer concert scene when I was growing up in Southern California. […]
