| o.k. to bring the R & R discussion over here, to it's "home"...
Steve, I called Clancy's Lounge, and the manager is supposed to
get back to me.
Do you think I should get in contact with Chuck's manager tonight
and get them out to the gig on Friday or Saturday?
I like the banner by the way.. should be a little bit bigger though?

| 220.4 | go for it! | RAVEN1::DANDREA | Fry Zsa Zsa, Free James Brown | Fri Dec 15 1989 09:22 | 8 |
| re: inviting club owners to hear us...
Good deal....Shooter's has NO cover, too.
The banner came out nice. We wanted it bigger, but the next size up was
almost 60% more in cost, and this one wasn't cheap.

my anatomy (or what is missing thereof)...
But BK definately has balls if he's engaged before he can leagally
drink !
Hey, RnR just got some freebie publicity on the Radio. I guess
WCKN caught up with our singer and he was tellin' everybody to come
down... I wonder if he realizes that Shooters only holds a few
people !

| 220.14 | - The Scary Review - | ASAHI::SCARY | Joke 'em if they can't take a ... | Sat Dec 16 1989 05:23 | 59 |
| OK, let me be the first to comment on R n R's maiden voyage ...
I'll start with the bad points of the evening !
1 - There was no where to park. Both upper and lower parking lots
were full with cars along the side of the road. Several cars
were towed away from adjacent buildings.
2 - There were no seats. Elbow to elbow, shoulder to shoulder,
whatever to whatever .... 8^) Yes, it was *that* crowded !
3 - Thirsty ? Forget it ... if there had been 2 more bartenders
and 4 more waitresses, that place would have made a small
fortune.
4 - The dance floor stayed occupied most of the night, which was
great for the band but a pain for the sound guy, cuz' there
was no snake and the board was right in the strike zone !
.... and that's as bad as it ever got !
Now for the good points ....
1 - Great song selection. There was a little something for
everyone. No heavy metal, but it wasn't a heavy metal club.
2 - Great vocals and some surprising harmonies. Didn't know you
guys had it in ya.
3 - What do you get when you cross a poseur and a wireless guitar ?
The wandering poseur, that's what. Coop played on his back,
sitting down, on top of tables (slide guitar with a beer bottle
no less ...). But ya can't pogo with a belt pack, can ya Coop ?
4 - Let me brag on Steve Dandrea a minute .... I haven't heard that
many tasteful licks in 4 sets in a L O N G time. He simmered
on the B.B. King tunes, and wailed on the Skynyrd. This guy
has no need for pointed headstocks and maple necks, that's for
sure !
5 - Hunter plays just like you'd think he would (you'd have to see
the mits on this guy ... they'd easily cover the screen you're
looking at !). Straight ahead, no-flash no-f*ck up playing.
Nice Sonor kit too ! Gotta mike 'em next time though !
6 - Jim (bass) has found his niche in classic rock. Metal gave him
some troubles in the past, but this format was a cake walk.
Overall the holes were few and far between . The capacity crowd was still
there wanting more a 01:30 when I left. There is a large market for
classic rock in this area, so these guys better keep their weekends open !

Well, check you guys out Sat night. Man, what a surprise! I didn't
know people from DEC were that impressive. I mean you guys were good!!!
Like scary said, great song selection. Also, the bands attitude was
very impressve. Great show guys!
Cj...Sorry I didn't dance with the rest of the gang, But ike I said, I
have to be totaly SH*T faced to try and dance. Great to meet you
though!
One more thing! With the style that Jeff and Steve have, you guys
should try some "ARS". I think that would be cool!

| 220.20 | | ASAHI::COOPER | Fleas Navidawg ! | Mon Dec 18 1989 09:08 | 27 |
| Yeah, thanx guys. We had an absolute blast playing there. It wouldn't
have been as fun if it wasn't for the folks who attended and made
us feel at home. Now, all we have to do is get Mike to build a bigger
stage (or club!).
Got pretty lucky on the draw Friday night. According to Mike
(the owner), that was the second best night he'd had since he opened
the place (a couple of years ago). We only missed the record by
$200. ;^(
Anyhow, he liked us so much that he wants to book us thru June.
So, it looks like Thurs.-Saturday night once a month for a while.
Now, all we gotta do is fill up Al's Pumphouse and we'll be SET!
Thanks to ALL who came out to cheer us on, we really appreciate
it. And special thanks to Jerry (for running sound) and CJ who put
up with us TWO nights in a row.
See y'all at Al's !!
jc
PS - Jerry, did you see the look on that womans face when I stole
her shoe to use as a slide ! It was priceless ! I wished I'd had
a camera ! "Your gonna do WHAT ??"
|
| 220.21 | | RAVEN1::JANCZYK | Fight fire, with FIRE! | Mon Dec 18 1989 09:17 | 11 |
| I've gotta hand it to you guys, you definately impressed the crowd.
You wouldn't believe the amount of people who asked for a business
card, or wanted to find out when you are playing again. Hopefully
you'll pack 'em in at Al's on Thursday. Should I contact Chuck's
or not? ;-) You guys definately pleased the crowd, not only
are you musicians, but you have great stage presence, and you are great
"entertainers". Although, you should stay inside the club when it is
cold outside, see what it did to your equipment? ;-) And leaving poor
Hunter all by himself on stage! ;-)
CJ, who had fun.
|
| 220.22 | | ASAHI::COOPER | Fleas Navidawg ! | Mon Dec 18 1989 09:41 | 7 |
| Yeah, but the stage is so small, it's the only time the audience
can see the drummer ! It was a bit brisk out there in a tee-shirt...
But such is the life with a wireless guitarist and lead singer...
"We're outta here ! Bye !"

Great to hear that you're doing so well - can't wait until I head down there
and check it out!

| Yep, gotta hand it to Alan ! When we started forming up, I got
a lot of ideas for tunes from Sorry!'s lineup... But I think Steve
"Bulldawg" Dandrea picked most of 'em. They got tired of me say
"Maybe we can do just one Metallica tune...
...How about Creepin' Death? It's mellow !?!? "

The band that opened for Extreme last night's name was Namesis
they were a buch of poseur's. I found myself thinking there
are four Jeff Cooper's up there. 8^) 8^) 8^)
Congrats on you gig sounds like you guys put on a good show.

| 220.26 | it just happened.... | RAVEN1::DANDREA | Fry Zsa Zsa, Free James Brown | Mon Dec 18 1989 10:48 | 8 |
| Sorry Alan, ya can't claim any credit for our song selection. It came
about kinda funny. When we hired the singer, we started playing a
bunch of tunes that HE knew, a bunch of tunes that I knew, and a bunch
of tunes that Jeff knew. It just sorta evolved. Does Coop have Sorry's
song list? Coop do you have Sorry's song list? I'd like to compare it
to ours. Maybe we can "steal" a few. 8)

| I don't believe I am telling you guys this, but you had MEGA requests
for more CCR, and MORE Skynard!
I think you guys should add some "heavier" classic's to your list..
like some Zep, or AC/DC,.. and maybe some Rush.. Van Halen...
;-)

| 220.29 | more Skynard!!!! | RAVEN1::DANDREA | Fry Zsa Zsa, Free James Brown | Mon Dec 18 1989 13:48 | 6 |
| Please Greg, not that. Come to think of it tho, the crowd would
probably storm the stage....I'm up for it! We're already doin "3
Steps", "Sweet Home", and "Simple Man", any more and we'll have to
change our name to "Ryr 'n Ryr".....8)
Steve
|
| 220.30 | | RAVEN1::JANCZYK | Fight fire, with FIRE! | Mon Dec 18 1989 13:51 | 9 |
| Steve,
Everyone seemed to LOVE the Skynard tunes..
(that's all they play on the radio down here.. Classic "southern"
rock!)
CJ, who feels like she has time-wharped twenty years by moving to
SC. ;-)
|
| 220.31 | the live version of 'Simple Man' is killer! | HAZEL::STARR | We're beating plowshares into swords... | Mon Dec 18 1989 13:53 | 10 |
| > We're already doin "3 Steps", "Sweet Home", and "Simple Man"
Awwww - you guys do "Simple Man"? I LOVE that song!!!!!!!!!
(I wanted to do it in Sorry!, but no one else was really interested...)
alan
BTW - I'm suprised you don't do "Saturday Night Special" - its one of their
heaviest songs!
|
| 220.32 | Steve, Steve... | CSC32::G_HOUSE | Potato head thing | Mon Dec 18 1989 14:01 | 12 |
| You do "Sweet Home..."?? Ack, gag me...
L.S. is cool, but not the overplayed stuff! Do something like "Workin
for MCA" or "Saturday Night Special" (as Alan suggested). I also like
"Simple Man".
For some cookin' southern fried stuff, try out 38Special. Don't do the
stuff they play on the radio either... I saw them with Nugent about
'83 and they were really HOT!
Greg
|
| 220.33 | | ASAHI::COOPER | Fleas Navidawg ! | Mon Dec 18 1989 15:00 | 13 |
| Yepper, Steve-O is gonna trade in his 'Paul for a Dobro and do
Rossington imitations... Just so we can cover "The Ballad Of Curtis
Lowe". That song'll bring a tear to your eye.
Hey ! I know Sat. Night Special. Let's DO it ! Also, "Jail Break"
by Thin Lizzy is an "on the list" tune...
To save face boize, the only reason we do Sweet Home is because
Steve *really* rocks on that tune ! We do it really well, but Steve
*Really* shines on that Gibson. I don't really have a problem playing
D-C-G while the "reds" go out of their minds while Stevie wails...
jc
|
| 220.34 | A little Malmsteen for the good ole boyz | LOOKUP::BUCKLEY | Snakes are your *friends*! | Mon Dec 18 1989 15:02 | 5 |
| Yo, JC...
What would the "reds" think if y'all played _Now Your Ships are Burned_?
|
| 220.35 | | ASAHI::COOPER | Fleas Navidawg ! | Mon Dec 18 1989 15:15 | 15 |
| I think if we plied them with a little rednecked 3-chord stuff and
I just went off on a tangent and did it, they'd go nutz. If we opened
with it people would leave. It's a pity ain't it ?
Hunter (mega-drummer) and I have a little solo peice that we'll
play when the time is right. It's a scorching metal piece complete
with over the neck taps, harmonics, wierdo time signatures, strange
keys and plutonium power chords... Most people say "Hey you can't
do that ! Thats abnormal ! I say NO ! It's METAL from hell...
It's call "Whales In Hell" cuz of the heavy delay and "violining" in
the intro... Kinda Classical in a wierd way.
JC - Whose goal is to talk them into doing some studio work...
|
| 220.36 | pat, pat pat.... | RAVEN1::DANDREA | Fry Zsa Zsa, Free James Brown | Tue Dec 19 1989 11:17 | 21 |
| Sheesh you guys, all this praise! I can't get my sweaters over my
head. I can't sit here and let Jeff do all the gushing. He ws pretty
hot himself this weekend. You guys need to hear him wail on "Born to
be Wild" (R n R style!)
Yeah, we do alot of overplayed tunes, that's why our format is called
Classic Rock, and why everybody dances, smiles, sings along, yells,
stomps, and generally makes total fools of themselves while we're
playin' for 'em. Besides, you aint heard "Sweet Home" 'til you heard
"us" do it! 8) Geez, sounds like I'm startin' to believe all these
compliments....ack! :) ("Yer SO vain")
From a musicians standpoint, alot of our tunes were on the air TOO long
and people got sick of 'em. But we're tryin ti stick with the
"anthems"; the Classics; and so far, it's workin. There's some good
suggesstions in here tho....38 Special stuff, other LS tunes. I'm
listenin'!
Thanks,
Steve

Joy, yer SUCH a groupie, but what a fan(nie)! heh, heh, heh, I'm a

I kinda like "Wanted, Dead or Alive", but it don't exactly qualify as
"Classic" rock yet, maybe in 10 years? 8)

| 220.39 | Van Halen IS classic ! ;^) | ASAHI::COOPER | Fleas Navidawg ! | Wed Dec 20 1989 10:57 | 19 |
| Re: "Wanted Dead Or Alive"
It's classic enough... It's on all the Juke boxes. ;^) Besides,
the women will go nutz.
Steve, being really old (I'll pay for this), and me being rather
young (27) have different opinions on what "Classic rock" is...
Steve tends to pull out tunes that EVERYONE knows... Like Sweet
Home Alabama. I'm more apt to come up with a tune everyone who
went to high school in the late 70's-early 80's would think "classic".
Crowds on different nights, and in different clubs will need to be
catered to somewhat. As time goes on and we get settled, we may
be learning some "newer" classics...Like Dio and Rainbow, Ozzy and
Sabbath, AC/DC, Van Halen, Thin Lizzy etc...
jc (Who sez: gimme some "classic" metal ideas and I'll see what
happens !)

I wish. ;^) There isn't a song in there thats got mre than 3
chords in it. ;^( On the bright side, people like our format,

RE: -1
Hi Brian,
Yeah we do all that stuff in a night. Sometimes we drop a few lam-O's
on Thursdays and Saturdays because of the early closing laws here.
We seem to add 3-4 tunes a week to that list, so we can clear out
the dead tunes. I've only got 666 more runs thru "I Saw Her Standin'
There" before I spontaneously combust on stage....now that will
be a show !
Imagine the headlines...
Local Tavern Crowd Seared by Guitarist
"Greenville, SC. (UPI) Local guitarist bursts into flames before
an awe-struck audience at Shooter's in Greenville last night.
Sources indicate that the guitarist, Jeff Cooper of Simpsonville,
showed only mild homocidal tendancies before the big poof snuffed
out his Beatle's-cover-song infested career.
While performing "I Saw Her Standing There" (by The once great
Beatles), a sudden flash of blue flame erupted from Cooper's
MIDI rack. The flames quickly singed thru his long hair, and
melted his pewter cross/snake earring.
Jerry White, also a guitarist from Greenville sobbingly reports "As
the flames scorched his red Charvel, the muted and strained notes of
the lead to Metallica's 'Fight Fire With Fire' could be heard.
White (aka - Mr. Scary), walked away mumbling:
"It was beautiful man, really...And he never did get that lead
right"

'Beatle record burning"

| re-1,
Great Coop,
What do we get for an encore?
Cj,
The reason I personally don't like Al's is because it's tooooo far
to dwive Whome When Wour DrunK! Other than that, it's OK.
Later,

| I don't like Al's because the owner is a fat slob-red neck ugly SOB,
is cheap as hell, and thinks it's our privilige to play at his
establishment. Not to mention that the stage is too small and
oddly shaped, and the acoustics s*ck.
Other than that, it's okay.
Now Shooters is too small (in total and on stage) but the owner
is cool and the crowd ROCKS ! I'd play there for free... Well,
maybe not for free but...

I talked to the owner of "Chuck's" here in Greenville. He's gonna
come down to see us play at Shooters this Friday night.
Chucks is a cool place to play. The stage is bigger than Shooters
BUILDING is !

| RnR has some way-cool T shirts available. They are all xtra-large, 50/50
Cotton/Poly. They come in:
Teil (blueish)
Watermelon (pinkish/red)
Jade Green (Figure it out)
Black
White
I think thats it. The RnR logo is on the left side of the chest on
front and on the back. It sez:
RnR
ROCKS
They look cool to me. Contact me (SNOTZ::Cooper) or Cindi (Raven1::Janczyk)
if your interested. Better hurry though, limited supply and we're playing a
HUGE St Pattys day gig at "Chiefs Wings and Firewater" in Orchard Park tomorrow.

people at Saturdays gig.
The boyz have stumbled across numorous opportunities since then, and
I think they should take it to its limimts!!!
"Greenville's own classic rock band.. RnR!" as said by Rock 101!!
Congrats guys!

| RE: T's...
Yep, purely business. I had to buy mine too...
RE: Chiefs
Yeah, it was quite a day. The Greenville Police and Sheriffs dept. estimated
a one time crowd of 3500+ with a total head count of 5K. It was rockin'
big time...Imagine the turn out if the weather had been nice. We were
fighting rain all day. Anyhow, you yankee types need to ake a trip to check
us out...
:)
jc
PS - Diana Daniels (the DJ from Rock 101) thought we were great, and wants
us to do a few remotes with WCKN. She sez: "Oh ! Your the guitar player with
the pink guitar and the leather right ??" Cracks me up...

Jeff and I were dancing at this gig, and this chick comes up to me
after the song was over, and the boyz were about to go on stage and
asks me if *we* play... (get my gist?) It must of been because
of Jeff's leather, and pink guitar.. ;-)

No, I think she was probably clairvoyant.

Yeah, things like that ONLY happen in the major cities!
>CJ, who has never had a women tell her she was good looking...(yuck)
Yeah, horrid, isn't it?
