Press Release / "With our Monsters Of Rock Cruise closing in (just under 5 months) we are ready to cap this party off! www.MonstersOfRockCruise.com.

Lets recap the past few months....

May 2011 - MOR goes live on Facebook and announces cruise for 2012!

June 2011- The initial line-up is announced with Tesla, Cinderella, Kix, Stryper, Y&T, Lynch Mob, Firehouse, Faster Pussycat, Eric Martin from Mr. Big, John Corabi, Black n Blue, Keel, Bang Tango, and Sunset Strip Rockers XYZ...Can't forget Big John from VH1's Rock Of Love (John will showcase his new show Rock n' Lock). The cruise goes on sale!

July 2011 - Eddie Trunk from VH1s "That Metal Show" joins the cruise and will be hosting events and signing his book for cruise attendees. From London, England, U F O signs on and Eddie Trunk is even happier! Famed LA tribute band Atomic Punks and Motley Inc. see our cruise and chime in: "Hey Dude... Let's Party!" The Cruise has grown into a full ship Rock n' Roll bash!!

August 2011 - MOR staff working on shipboard events decide to kick it off early and throw a bash the night before the cruise! Enter Route 66 in Fort Lauderdale, FL (a quick drive to the port)! Route 66 has a great history as Summers On The Beach, a famed spring break hangout that some of the bands played back in the day...MOR pre-cruise bash features performances from Kix, and the Atomic Punks.
September 2011 - All quiet on the west front...

And now the final performers:

First up... This band has a tie to Guns N' Roses... Most people don't know it, but when these LA rockers were playing the Coconut Teaser, Axl Rose was in the audience, saw them perform, and went back to GnR's label and told them to sign them ASAP! Another label won out the battle.... and "One Night Stand" hit the airwaves via the Warner Brothers label. Please welcome Rhino Bucket to the cruise!!
These AC/DC style rockers will bring their gritty rock to the MOR cruise with a couple of surprises! Joining Georg Dolivo onstage performing "One Night Stand�, "Blood On The Cross" and "Ride With Yourself"� why that's Brian Forsythe from Kix on guitar, Simon Wright (former AC/DC and DIO) on drums, along with Reeves Downes on bass!

MOR cruisers please meet Flametal! Ben Woods takes an interesting twist to songs by Ozzy, Rainbow and Iron Maiden�We will let the music do the talkin' on this one! Ben combines his wealth of talent of flamenco guitar with his love of heavy metal and the outcome is original...check it out www.Flametal.com. Flametal will be doing performances at the pre-cruise party as well as on board the MOR cruise...Enjoy!

Next up, our travels take us north, and we had to cross into Canada for this one! These rockers were early Heavy Metal favorites of MTV. Currently these Canadian stars are doing dates with Anvil in Europe and knocking it out of the park! Please welcome, all the way from Toronto, Canada�Helix!!
Brian Vollmer (Vox) and his band have toured the world with the likes of Kiss, Alice Cooper, Motley Crue, Whitesnake and Motorhead over the past 30 years and have had hits like "Heavy Metal Love" and �Rock You". They even made an appearance on cult favorite Trailer Park Boys, "The Big Dirty" motion picture in 2009.

You know we couldn't leave it there, so in true Classic and Current fashion.... Welcome the reunited Odin!!
These guys ruled the Sunset Strip...Randy O and the boys set the bar on how to Rock in LA in the mid 80s. Odin released "Don't Take No For An Answer" and, of course, were a main feature in the film, �The Decline of the Western Civilization�The Metal Years�. Recently they rocked the Sunset Strip again... killing it at the Whiskey!

Fast-forward to today...Welcome DC4 to the stage! The Brothers Duncan (from Odin) formed a new band with former Dio guitarist Rowan Robertson!! DC4's aggressive style will bring a modern edge to our High Seas bash! If you get a chance check them out @ www.facebook.com/DC4HardRock. PS...We will be doing a screening of �The Decline Of Western Civilization... The Metal Years� during the MOR Cruise!

And finally�These guys were actually one of the first bands we wanted, but were in the middle of one of this summer's hottest selling tours. You can always Rock in America with these Damn Yankees...
Night Ranger!! Not only will Jack Blades, Kelly Keagy, Brad Gillis, and Joel Hoekstra bring their monster songs like "Don't Tell Me You Love Me", "When you Close Your Eyes", " You Can Still Rock In America", and the power ballad "Sister Christian"... They will also be doing a special acoustic performance, and maybe a surprise song or two as well!
All right! There is the Official 2012 Monsters of Rock Cruise Artist Line-up...Hope you like what we have created�Enjoy the Experience!

Get some rest folks; you aren't going to sleep on this cruise! No rest for the wicked!! www.MonstersOfRockCruise.com.
