An in your face rock concert - not some watered down lounge act!
"Monsters of Rock" is a San Diego-based multi-metal tribute act dedicated to performing the songs of the well-known metal bands that dominated the 70s, 80s, and 90’s, such as Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Iron Maiden, The Scorpions, Guns and Roses and many of the bands who performed during the "Monsters of Rock" festivals which were the heavy metal festival-concerts during the golden era of metal.
The members of the band are extremely skilled musicians who have extensive experience having played alongside acts such as Quiet Riot, Motorhead, Ratt, Lynch Mob and other icons of metal. Their renditions of the groups they cover are spot-on! If you’re a fan of heavy metal music and want to hear it performed the way it was meant to be, then do yourself a favor and check out “Monsters of Rock” when they perform at a venue near you.

Congrats on the second place. Hopefully we will come by and see you guys play soon. Seeing you guys is the only time we really get out and have some fun.
I would love to come out to support you all but it is really hard for me to go out on a night before I have to work :( I get up at O dark thirty and my caseload has been crazy!!! Anyways, I PROMISE Erik an I will get to one of your shows here very soon!!!!
OHHHHHHHHHHHhh funny....One of our felony attornys asked me a few weeks ago if I wanted to go check out a very cool band at 4th & B. Come to find out he was talking about you guys!!! You guys are getting around ha ha!!! Very cool!!!
I am rooting for you !!!! Way to go!!! Good Luck!!!
I'm going to be at the beach. If I get home early enough I will try to come. I need to get out more and it would be fun to come watch you play when I'm not working!
Hey Guys!! Nat and I will see you for sure on Sun... unless the baby decides to come early (if not we're set for July 5th) This will be the last time I see you all before becoming a MOM...!!! XoXo
Ok, so the finals will be three "Vegas style" show bands and the REAL musicians! You all, by far, have the talent to win... just bring your best and don't overthink it - oh, and we will do our part and cheer you on to a victory :-)
Oh I forgot to comment..(sorry I got side tracked thinking about Ron and the hair move..LOL)
You might want to consider adding "Let There Be Rock" to the set list for the finals...
You guys killed that song last night...and it would totally get the crowd behind you...I know it a long song...but it just might be the hook you need...no way they can say the ACDC sounds like anything else "heavier" that you play...
Hey guys....Awesome shows at the HO this weekend...You all sounded great!!!!..but I have to make a comment about Ron and the "hair move"..LOL. A big thank you to Evette's sister for saying that we need to see Ron's eyes when he is singing! (frankly Patti and have have been talking about this for some time...) Ron, your voice is fricken out of this world...but by doing the hands through the hair and letting us see that "face" you about did us all in...You see Ron, "chicks" love the hands in the hair thing ...and seeing your face really brings a new twist to the overall show!
So let it be you secret weapon at the finals...just remember...YOU are the front man YOU have tons of power...so turn on the "move" and trust me you will have a ton of screaming chick fans! Don't forget we can make lots of high pitched noise for that meter reading and one of the judges is a "chick"..Need I say more?
Love you guys tons...even though I did not get a Cult Song last night (no worries I am not bitter....) On to the finals and the 20K you all so deserve it!!
