Get Ready To Grow Those Mullets Back!
Well, it’s not exactly SXSW, but in July — in the middle of America — will be the Mother of All 80’s Metal festivals: Rocklahoma on July 10 -13 in Pryor, Oklahoma (where the hell is that???!!!) Even Lita Ford is coming out of retirement to play.
3 days of 80s metal, and over 80 bands. Look at this list. These are all the bands that were in Powerline Print 20 years ago:
Bret Michaels, LA Guns featuring Tracii Guns, Enuf Z Nuff, Vain, House of Lords and Jet Boy, XYZ, Armored Saint, Kingdom Come, Night Ranger, Extreme, Triumph, Pretty Boy Floyd, Every Mother’s Nightmare, Tora Tora, Black N Blue, Trixter, Kix, Warrant featuring Jani Lane, Cinderella, Axe, Beautiful Creatures, Zebra, Lynch Mob, Tesla, and more to be announced in coming days.
On secondary stages will be three times the amount of acts, mostly contemporary metal hopefuls, emulating their 80s’ heroes.
Only one drawback: where the hell is Whitesnake?

Is Kip Winger gonig to be there? If so, is he gonig to cry in public again about being forever known as “the Cherry Pie guy”?
Where is Whitesnake, you ask? Perhaps David Coverdale has been approached by Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones to perform with them on a Led Zeppelin tour. Or maybe Coverdale is holed up in a room, looking at pictures of his ex, Tawny Kitaen, and wondering where it all went wrong.
