Well, it has a been a few days since Johnny’s Birthday Bash and I have almost recovered!
What a party.

If you were there you know what I am talking about.

If you have never had a chance to “Feel The Steel” then you need to make it to one of their shows at some point!
From the big hair riffs to the comedy in between you just cant beat that band!
And did I forget to mention how many girls seem to loose their shirts at a Steel Panther show…Nuff said!
Better jump out for now!
See you at Slash Thursday!

Ozzy’s Intro At This Year’s Ozzfest.

Nivens — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 21:43:16 +0000

Recorded by a fan, but pretty bloody funny none-the-less.

What a week!

Man, talk about a lot of good stuff going on.

It all started a week ago tonight we had the CD release party for Red Line Chemistry.

The boys did a killer job and congrats one making it into the bigs!

Then we had the Uproar Tour in town with Disturbed/A7X/Halestorm/HeallYeah and more.

Killer show even though I forgot to put on my sunscreen and burned the hell out of my head. (ps. I thought HellYeah killed it)

Now this week is flying by!
Johnny’s birthday bash is Friday with Steel Panther and Craig Gass! (make sure you listen to win some tickets!)

Then Saturday night out in Bonner Springs for a free show with Rev Theory.

This has been one of those weeks that is just going too fast and is just loaded with good stuff!

Now I know you may be saying to yourself that I forgot the Slayer show….Well, I had planned to make it but I became a uncle on Monday so I had to go out and meet the little guy!

And yes. If you think I look scared in the picture I am. That is the newest baby I have ever held!
Lets keep this going!
See you Friday at Johnny’s Birthday!

Guns-N-Roses Live at Rock N’ Rev Festival

Nivens — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 22:53:54 +0000

G-n-R, which as we all know by now is really just Axl plus a bunch of dudes, played at the Rock N’ Rev Festival at Sturgis last week. This marked Guns first time performing stateside in four years and although they didn’t go on until 1 A.M., “technical difficulties” was the reason given, the crowd seems to be pretty excited by what they’re witnessing. Video below.

Doing their classic Welcome to the Jungle

Well finally it looks like a few days under 100!
Not sure if it just me but this weather has been kicking my ass.

At one point last week (after what seemed like years of being in a “excessive heat warning”) I realized I was in a BAD mood.

I thought that maybe it was just me but took a step back from my rage and noticed that quite a few of my friends were in the same boat.

It was the heat!

I have a lot of friends in law enforcement and I remember going on ride along during the summer and they would give me the heads up that that was the best time to go because everyone would be acting all crazy! (they were so right. I got to see some crazy stuff on those rides.)

Now I am sure that we are not done with this hot weather so when the temp starts to creep up again and you start getting the urge to “Hulk Out” take a deep breath, find a cool place to hang out at, and calm yourself down.

It is just the weather!

Wow, this was a really random blog!

Ps. After this nice cool down I am no longer grumpy!

And yes I will probably be complaing about the cold here in a few months!
