> The term, "melodic rock" describes the type of rock sound that was
> very popular on AOR (album oriented rock) radio stations from the late
> 1970s through 1990. Presented by South Bend Classic Rock radio station
> 95.3 WAOR, MelodicRockFest will feature a full bill of sup****t bands,
> merchandise for sale and the biggest list of superstars and special
> guests in this genre of rock.
>
> MelodicRock.com is gigantic web ****tal and magazine that recognizes
> the fact that this type of music still has a large legion of loyal
> fans throughout the world. As Joe Lynn Turner says, "Just because the
> grunge movement came in and took over the airwaves in the 1990s here
> is the USA does not mean the fans of this type of music stopped liking
> it. They were just not being 'fed' this music as often by radio and
> video music television channels. MelodicRock.com fulfilled that need
> and continued to 'feed' fans with news, audio and more great features
> about this genre of music and the artists who continue to churn out
> high quality albums today."
>
> Turner, who has released 9 solo albums since his solo debut, "Rescue
> You" in 1985, credits MelodicRock.com in part with the enormous
> success he has continued to have since he left Deep Purple in the
> early 90s. The ****tal is run by Australian based journalist Andrew
> McNeice and first made its debut in the first week of January 1997.
> Since that time it has become one of the most respected and leading
> music websites in the world, taking in 27 million hits and currently
> services 200,000 unique users per month.
> The show headlining "house band" is Nashville based Scrap Metal, the
> all-star group featuring Gunnar and Matthew Nelson, Kelly Keagy, Mark
> Slaughter, Eric Martin, Dave Marshall (Vince Neil Band) and Gary
> Corbett (Lou Gramm Band/Cinderella). Turner and other rock luminaries
> will join Scrap Metal on stage for a special expanded headline set.
> Scrap Metal's regular set sees them plough through hit singles from
> the acts represented by the rockers - Slaughter, Nelson, Mr. Big and
> Night Ranger. The special expanded headlining set will also cover the
> classic hits from Rainbow, Deep Purple, Survivor and Damn Yankees.
>
> Founding member of The Ides Of March and Survivor, Jim Peterik says:
> "I am thrilled to be a part of the landmark AOR show of the year! All
> of the talent that is synonymous with what we all loved about the 80's
> will be there all in honor of a man who has done so much to promote
> that music. Everyone is charged up and ready to do their best show
> ever. We will give you a night you will never forget."
>
> And Mr. Big vocalist Eric Martin adds: "The face of rock and roll
> music has changed so many times that it's hard to keep track of the
> adjective that comes before the word rock. Scrap Metal, the proverbial
> robot transformer made up of standout musicians from the 80s & 90s,
> brings the spirit of melodic rock & roll back from the dead. Dust off
> your black concert Tee's, polish off your cowboy boots and don't hurt
> yourself squeezing into your leather pants. Keep the dream alive &
> kickin' in South Bend."
>
> Watch Scrap Metal in action for yourself!
