Rome Snowboard Design Syndicate

We have a guy in our office whose lady friend slept with every member of Motley Crue before she graduated high school… Granted, this was back in the mid eighties and I cannot include all the details I just heard… but it was a good enough story let the Crue have their turn on Rock and Roll Tuesday!

Note that playing drums in leopard print underwear with suspenders will never go out of style.

Also, if you get the chance pick up Nikki Sixx’s book ‘The Dirt: Confessions of the World’s Most Notorious Rock Band’ its a good read and will make you want to put the song “kickstart my heart” onto your playlist. Keep on rockin!

Yep, this weeks selection for Rock and Roll Tuesday is Ice Cube. I know his music is not classified as Rock and Roll, but his attitude sure as hell screams Rock and Roll! If you have to deal with the cops this week (like I had to today), blast some Ice Cube to get a smile back on your face.

No video but here is Ice Cube’s classic diss of Easy E (and the rest of NWA) for your enjoyment.

Rock and Roll!

Rock and Roll Tuesday has been on haitus for a while but hopefully today’s selection makes up for it! First off, big ups to fellow shred Scotty Lago for keeping it real after winning the bronze, rock and roll Scotty! Anyway, I’ve been reading the book ‘Hammer of the Gods’ so I dusted off a bunch of my old Zeppelin albums and have been diggin on them alot more than usual lately.. Enjoy these two classics from one of the greatest bands of all time!

I don’t think I’ve ever heard this song performed by Zeppelin before, and I feel like we’ve all heard everything they’ve done at least 5 times… but check this out live performance from Australia in 1972..

Keep on rockin my fellow shredders…

Tuesday is the best day of the week because it’s a day for Rock and Roll! Had to share this gem with you because I don’t think many people have seen it before. It’s a live AC/CD television performance from 1976. (I still think Rome supporter Tim Benasich can sing this almost as well as Bon Scott!)

Here is one of my favorites performed in the early 90s and it talks about my favorite thing in life besides snowboarding; HIGH VOLTAGE ROCK AND ROLL!!!! You have to check out some of the other videos from this concert during the daylight (Thunderstruck in particular), the crowd is insane

Enjoy!

Here are a few x-mas classics to get you in the mood for the holiday.. Shake your bones to a live version of Christmas in Hollis by Run DMC!

Here are a few other choice x-mas songs for you and yours to enjoy this holiday season.
1. Charlie Brown – Death Metal
2. Lemmy & Dave Grohl – Run Run Rudolph
3. AC/DC – Mistress for Xmas
4. King Diamond – No Presents
5. SNL Christmas Song
6. Justin Timberlake (for those still needing a gift idea)

Merry Friggin Christmas !!! Get out there and shred !

This weeks selection was sent in by LNP:
“Judas Priest is one of the first heavy metal bands. They started the whole leather style, buying all their gear in s&m shops. The priest kicks ass and you know it” – Laurent…

Tuesday is the heaviest day of the week. Check back next week for more Rock and Roll!

After a 1 week hiatus RRT is back with vengeance! Personally, when I think of music from the 80s, I don’t think of pop music or new wave crap, or any of that garbage. When I think of the 80s music, I think of Metallica, Slayer, Motorhead, & Anthrax; rock and roll. Back in the 80s Anthrax came onto the scene and blew things up. Even though the line up has had many changes throughout the years, some of the early metal these guys laid down was really fresh at the time and I still enjoy it today, hope you enjoy it too!

They were the original band to combine elements of rap into rock and roll, and at that time, it was shocking and outrageous, everything rock and roll is supposed to be. Public Enemy rules, they didn’t need this collab with Anthrax to prove it, but I’m glad they did.

Check back next week when LNP will be dropping in on RRT again with another guest edit! Until then, keep on rockin!

“When they first started they kicked some ass, they where one of the first thrash metal bands.
Here’s a good old vid with the whole band when cliff burton was still around.
RIP Cliff. Laurent”

Big thanks to Laurent for sending in RRT this week!

Rock and Roll Tuesday started back in early June and I’m surprised so many weeks went by without one song from the Ramones. Here are a couple live tunes, that sound a bit rough, performed a long long time ago to keep you moving through the week.

Yeah buddy, keep on rockin!

Slayer is not down with biters or listening to Techno; especially on Tuesday, a day that Rome and the real Stowe locals have dedicated to Rock and Roll … Slayer is down with Rome and Rome is down with Slayer. Never have have I been more happy to bring you RRT than today. Here are two great live performances from the Download Festival back in 05.

This is quite possibly the best RRT ever.

SLAYER FOR LIFE!!
