Tom Keifer/L.A. Guns/Faster Pussycat (The Ranch, Fort Myers, FL) – 7/24/22

The Sonic Slam tour with Tom Keifer, L.A. Guns and Faster Pussycat headed out on the road together for their U.S. summer tour. What a spectacular line-up of hard rock veterans! Each band brings so many hits to the table that they can quickly fill a night with great music without barely putting a dent in their discographies. Faster Pussycat were first up, and they were loud, dirty, and in your…

Sonic Slam Brings Three of the '80s Biggest Acts to Nashville's Marathon Music Works

On July 29, a capacity crowd packed into Nashville's Marathon Music Works to spend a night listening to the songs that soundtracked many of their teenage years, blaring from car stereos and flickering across MTV's Headbanger's Ball as '80s metal icons Tom Keifer, L.A. Guns, and Faster Pussycat brought the Sonic Slam 2022 tour to Music City.

But it wasn't all nostalgia at this show as headliner Tom Keifer, former lead vocalist for Cinderella, played a mix of familiar hits like “Gypsy Road”, “Night Songs”, and “Don't Know What You Got ('Til It's Gone)” with songs from his more recent solo material, which skews much more toward blues rock, almost Americana. It could easily have been a disaster. Playing blues rock to metalheads? Playing new material to a crowd of people who want to hear that song they loved years ago? All bad ideas on the surface. All things that worked perfectly for Keifer.

A Nashville resident for several years, you could tell Keifer was bringing a little extra for the “home team” and you could tell there were a lot of people in the audience who knew enough songs from his 2019 release Rise to sing along. Cinderella always had a lot more blues foundation than most bands of the era (see “Bad Seamstress Blues” from the band's Long Cold Winter), so the material flowed well together and Keifer showed that he could switch between his signature Cinderella rasp and the bluesy voice of his new material. His band, some of whom likely weren't old enough to remember Cinderella's songs when first released, were at full throttle the entire time and helped project an energy the audience happily returned.

The middle band in the trio was L.A. Guns. Coming from the Sunset Strip metal scene that also birthed Guns 'N Roses, L.A. Guns is a band who never quite got the credit they deserved in their prime, birthing one major radio hit in “Ballad of Jayne” before contentiously breaking up and spending much of the ensuing twenty years in a legal battle for the band's name. Fortunately for fans, classic era vocalist Phil Lewis and guitarist Tracii Guns mended fences in 2016 and L.A. Guns is not only back but better than they were in their prime. Guns' guitar work was flawless and Lewis, whose mustache and dress made him look like a cross between a demented ringmaster and a pirate, hit every note like it was 1989. The rest of the band was also great, but especially veteran guitarist Ace Von Johnson who has played with just about everybody (including show openers Faster Pussycat) and had an undeniable chemistry with Guns that made their dueling solos fun.

The surprise of the night for me was Faster Pussycat. They're a band I never got into during the '80s and went into expecting to be mildly entertained as I waited for “House of Pain.” I couldn't have been more wrong. While Downe is the only remaining member from their '80s hitmaking days, much of the rest of the band has been with him since the early '00s. But it was one of the band's newer members, Sam “Bam” Koltun, who stole the show, providing the kind of lead guitar virtuosity and kinetic energy that was a hallmark of the '80s metal scene.

While most of the press this year has gone to that other '80s metal tour that played at the football field a few weeks ago, for me Sonic Slam is the place to be. This is music that is meant to be experienced standing shoulder to shoulder with your fellow fans, belting out the lyrics and trading energy with a band that understands the give and take of that dynamic. All three bands on the Sonic Slam tour have that skill and the audience responded in kind.

A Federation starship seems like a terrible place for a bath

#so many red alerts #so much random turbulence and space anomalies #everyone slamming around the bridge and corridors #if they call a red alert and you’re in the bath #then you come back post red alert and your quarters are flooded #is there some sci-fi world building that I’m missing about how their quarters stay clean and how their plumbing works #federation impracticality #sonic showers make sense in terms of practicality #I don’t know how well the science works out on the sonic showers though that one is a mystery #like their ear health??? #sonic shower thoughts #yeah build your romantical forest tub #it makes sense on a planet #it also makes sense on a space station like ds9 much more stable #but a tub of water flying through space seems unwise given the track history #they’re on voyager they’re on the enterprise #this is me projecting isn’t it cause I cannot take baths #memeish

I've been thinking abt like, if Tails and Nine got into a close-range physical fight (no guns or bombs allowed) who would win? The first seemingly obvious answer would be Nine, cuz he knows how to fight, he had to learn how to defend himself and has his mechanical tails, no question about it!!! but you then think further and realize, does he tho?

No wait hear me out!!!

Because in this case, Nine would be fighting someone who has experience and practice in actual combat. Not just dismantling big, bulky, never dwindling in numbers and always persistent Eggforcers built purely for intimidation and oppression of common civilians with reaction times worse than a school computer (I mean just look at the shit Nine managed to get away with while under their direct supervision, they got no peripheral vision either!!) That is not to discredit Nine in that regard cuz he absolutely kicked ass in the second season, but the only other thing he could train his fighting prowess on was the already mentioned random civilians(his bullies), which probably didn't have much fight in them either and most likely just gave up and fled before any noteworthy fight could break out.

Importnat was that in his first interaction with Sonic, who was mostly on the defensive, Nine showed he immiditely strikes with intimidation and disorientation, which undoubtedly worked in any previous encounters he might've had with the residents of New Yoke. (But had Sonic wanted to, he could've literally just swiped one of his mechanical tails from under him, effectively making him lose balance and then kick him in the shins or something) Nine also showed he knows how to use the environment to his advantage, as any crafty genius lacking extreme dexterity or strength would. Unless that environment doesn't cause him to slip and nearly end up being hit by an oncoming train of course-

Now take Tails, who, since being around 4 years old trailed behind the Fastest Thing Alive and dealt with a mad doctor and his everyday slightly improving army of robots designed specifically to fight a little high-speed hedgehog menace that could turn into a living buzz saw slicing through metal, and it's only right to assume Tails must have quite the reflexes, strength and resilience(mostly trained on keep sonic alive and out of any severe trouble).

Comparing that to Nine again and suddenly his chances at winning aren't really clean cut now are they

#sonic prime #tails could prbably just grab one of Nines tails mid attack; take off and slam him into the nearest solid construct #ive had these children fightin im my head for the past three hours good lord #if someone has a different oerspective on this please ramble on I wanna hear it #i hope this explains the gulash I had in my head regarding this hdgsjs #this is not nescesary prime bros just a random thot #miles nine prower #miles tails prower #nine the fox #tails the fox #silly brainworms
