Rocklahoma Predictions

There are 234 days until Rocklahoma 2008. While ticket prices have already gone up, and the front VIP section is nearly sold-out...without a single band announcement! I just called Rock Fever, and the receptionist told me those bands will be announced the beginning of next month. My assumption is that the announcement will be much like last year: a few trickles here and there, right up until July 2008.

That's fine with me: the announcements give me something to look forward to and to write about.

At any rate, here are my official predications for Rocklahoma 2008. We'll see how many I get correct.

Whitesnake (headliner)
Iron Maiden (headliner)
Def Leppard (headliner)
Poison
Gypsy Pistoleros
Steelheart
Britny Fox
Pretty Boy Floyd (a reunited, original line-up)
Jet Boy
Vains of Jenna
Sweet FA
Firehouse
Fastway
Saigon Kick
Sebastian Bach

Some of these are givens (Steelheart, Gypsy Pistoleros), others are out of left field (Saigon Kick, Sweet FA, Iron Maiden).

Would you pay $325 for this line-up? Remember, more than 30 bands perform over the four day festival. While organizers hope to bring all new bands for 2008, I will guarantee a handful of repeats right here, right now. In my own world, I'd love to see Aerosmith and Motley Crue (with Tommy Lee on drums), but I'd say both these very expensive bands are just wishful thinking.

So, what are your Rocklahoma 2008 predictions?

Hey! I just found out RECKLESS is going to be on the bill!!!Those guys KICK A$%.Does anybody remember RECKLESS? Their album "No Frills" on ATLANTIC was produced by JJ French & Mark "The Animal" Mendoza of Twisted Sister. GnR,AC/DC, Ratt & Crue all wrapped up in one.I just found the CD on retrospectrecords.com. The cassette never left my car in the 80's and now the CD is FINALLY OUT. I missed their tour in the 80's, but there's NO WAY I'm gonna miss em NOW!!! Check em out, awesome................

Hey! I just heard RECKLESS is going to be on the Rocklahoma bill in 2008!!! Those guys kick A%$. Does anybody remember RECKLESS??? Their album "No Frills" on Atlantic Records was produced by J.J. French & Mark "The Animal" Mendoza of Twisted Sister. RECKLESS, by far, was the most criminally under rated bands of the 80's. GnR, AC/DC, Ratt, Crue and Def Leppard all wrapped into one Killer songs!!! That tape never left my car player and now the DC is FINALLY out on

I missed their tour in the 80's, but I'm NOT gonna miss em NOW! You gotta check these guys out. Anyone who's into 80's Glam / Metal will love these guys. Heres a review of "No Frills" from Hard Rock Haven and their website

Insider, those three headliners would be insane, but come on you really cannot have "insider" info that is saying that? I really can't see GNR playing this. But I do like you info on a reunited Warrant, that would be awesome and tha KIX IS DEFINITELY IN FOR ROCKLAHOMA 08!!!!

Def Leppard (Headliner)
Whitesnake (Headliner)
Cinderella (Headliner)
Tesla
Poison
Warrant (Reunited) Heard reliable rumors!
Saigon Kick (Would be great)
Kix
Steelheart
Pretty Boy Floyd (Reunited) (But don't see it happening again!)
Skid Row (Reunited) (Wishful thinking!)
JetBoy (Great live band, just saw them 2 nights ago!)
Firehouse
Britny Fox
Trixter (Would be great!)
Krokus (Already confirmed I believe)
Lita Ford (?)
Vixen (?)
L.A. Guns (The REAL version)

I hope I'm right, but then again, it's Rock N Roll!

[KixRules]

Scott that would be a great lineup but I think you need to add Extreme

[Sixxinthehead]

KIX would rock! I WANT Dangerous Toys to be there. That would kick @$$! According to Maiden's website... they are adding dates to the North American leg of their tour after May 2008 and rumor at this year's event was that they were confirmed for next year... so it's not completely out of the question. Cinderella would ROCK! I saw them in a small bar in Fayetteville about 8 years ago and they still rocked it! Apparently... Jet Boy, Vixen and Krokus have been confirmed for next year. That's the word on Hard Rock Hideout. We'll see who knows what they hell they're talking about sooner or later.

After they said they were going to look outside the US... My first thought was AC/DC. That would be awesome!

[DogzIview]

What about an appearance from AUTOGRAPH? How awesome would that be folks.

[jim]

MASS would be great!!
They have an amazing new CD!

[TD]
