The KING of CLUBS

This has been 40 years of wanting to see Michael Monroe of Hanoi Rocks and it definitely didn’t disappoint. The band sounded great and Michael was fantastic . He was so engaging to the crowd and moved around the stage like he was in his 20’s . The show was everything I ever imagined it would be and the venue Kings of the Club was very nice it was my first time there and I will go back for sure. Rock on !!!!

F*****g Excellent!!! Played everything I wanted to hear and then some. All the bangers, several songs from the Haunted album and a couple surprise CC classics at the end which I'm sure have been leaked online at this point of the tour. And the crowd really showed out for SFU! All the old heads and a bunch younger people! Great crowd and they had an awesome pit going their entire set!! Very memorable night for me and my friends!

Fizzy is on their 25th anniversary tour, but while I'd heard of them, they were never really on my radar until last year. That's when I found out PJ Farley was in the band (he joined in 2020 I think?); I've been a fan of him for decades. Plus I had seen Chris Jericho front Kuarantine and enjoyed him, so I checked out the music online. I enjoyed it and saw a live show and thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the band too. So now I'll see them when I can. Great energy, great music, and lots of fun.

This is the 2nd time I've seen Sebastian, and he was great, as I knew he would be. He's obviously having a blast, which is always important to me. Still sounds amazing, and the band was too, including his son on drums. And I got my bottle of water, which is now one of my goals. He throws bottles of water to people up close who are singing along and obviously having fun. I'd gotten one at the first show and was hoping for another. And while I think he grabbed one that had a loose cap rather than a still sealed one -- which is what he usually throws -- I didn't care. I was a bit warm as well as thirsty, so the fact that I wore part of it wasn't a bad thing! He dedicated "I Remember You" to the many musicians we've lost in the last decade or so, including the recent loss of CJ Snare from FireHouse. The crowd ended up singing the majority of the song, as he was too choked up to sing. That song aside, if you want a fun, high energy show, go see him. And check out his newest album. I hadn't before the show, but plan to soon.

I met Classless Act two years ago during their first ever tour. We hit it off as friends, and I have seen them every time they have played in Ohio. Derek Day (lead singer) is the most talented artist I have ever met. Derek is a legend in the making. Griffin Tucker (lead guitar) is the greatest guitarist this generation has. I would compare Griffin to Eddie Van Halen. Dane Pieper (rhythm guitar) is way beyond his peers. His energy, the way his guitar is like an extension of his body as he plays guitar and dances. Dane has rhythm, rock, and soul. Franco Gravante (bass) is the most talented bass player I have ever met. He has a commanding presence on the stage. He knows exactly who he is and who he has to rock. Franco is a bass legend. Chuck "El Chucko" McKissock (drummer) when part of your name spells KISS you know you were born to be a rock drummer superstar. Chuck (when he's not busy changing his hair color/style) is the sweetest, kindest human you will ever meet. Chuck channels his positive energy into the sickest, energetic drumming that will knock your socks off. Classless Act are above and beyond their peers. They are future superstars and legends. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is reserving a space for them. On top of all that. All of them, including their tour manager, their taste in fashion is impeccable. They are the cutting edge of beauty and fashion.

Brabo, Savannah and Bubby Galloway killed it in Ohio again with a sold out show! My second time seeing them and what amazing artists they are and know how to put on a great show! I will go to every show whenever they come back to Ohio! Brabo and Savannah are so great together and the vibe from the love they have for each other definitely shows in the music they make together which makes every song so amazing ❤️ Love you guys! 🫶🤟 Come back to Ohio soon! 🙏❤️🙏❤️

This was my second time seeing Savannah Dexter, Brabo Gator and Bubby Galloway in Ohio...All of them killed it again!🔥 Sold out show! Ohio loves Savannah, Brabo Gator and Bubby Galloway.🫶🤟 I took my nieces to their first concert to see their favorite artist Savannah Dexter and they were so excited to see her! I'm glad they got to experience how much of an amazing artist she is and what a great show it was! We will definitely be seeing her every time she comes back to Ohio! 🤟🤟🤟 Please come back to Ohio soon!🙏❤️🙏❤️

I was not expecting this show to be as AMAZING as it was. I’m a huge fan of the show, and that has been my only exposure to the band. I thought it would just be for fun, but was blown away by the talent on the stage. Tom really put on a show, can sing and has a great band. They covered a lot of great songs and had a blast doing it. They played for an hour and 45 mins. Definitely got my moneys worth. Even got a set list. I would travel outside my city to see them again. Not sure how I’ve never been to this venue before, but it is now one of my FAVORITE Columbus venues. Love the GA, the rail, and the options for table seating. And the staff was super nice. Looking for more opportunity to return to this venue.

Opening band UnityTX was unexpected. I had never heard of them but they threw down. I’m now a fan, even bought a t-shirt. Kind of reminded me of a mix of Korn and SevenDust with a bit hip hop. Definitely going on my playlist. The next 2 bands were ok, but not for me. Too much flat out screaming without enough melody and musicality. Very loud. The part of the crowd that was moshing seemed to love them as they fueled the mood. Then came nothing, nowhere. He put his foot in it and brought the house down! He brought the energy along with the thrashing and the musicality and melody I was looking for. He def deserved top billing.

My son's 1st King's X show was awesome. The opening band was great with some awesome drumming and guitar solos. King's X mixed it up with crowd favorites, deep cuts, and new stuff. Encore was amazing with the whole crowd singing Goldilox as ritual persists. So glad he got to experience the wonder I have been lucky enough to see live many times over the years. 3 brothers so in sync on stage. We were born to be loved.

I've seen Winger several dozen times now (I've lost track), starting with their first tour. And saw Kip and Paul when they toured with Alice Cooper, so I kind of pre-date Winger. They always have fun, and put on a great show. I love hearing a couple of the new songs live; if you haven't heard the new album SEVEN, you need to check it out! I like the King of Clubs, tho I do wish the stage was a little shorter. Then again, no one forces me to stand right up against the barrier, so I only have myself to blame for having to look up so sharply. I spent a fair amount of time watching Rod anyway, and that's a bit easier on my neck. I did miss seeing John Roth, but he can't be jn 2 places at once and Howie Simon did a great job filling in. I did the VIP thing again as I wanted a few more things signed, and that's always fun. I'm seeing them again in Akron, and will probably end up going to a show in MI in Oct. Can't Get Enuff of Winger!

I was there, front row, watching the event unfold. I am a young adult fan and have waited 16 years to see WASP live. What I was met with was a half hearted performance filled with obvious lip synching to songs such as The Flame, The Torture Never Stops, Animal, Blind In Texas (partially), and I wanna be somebody. I was in the front row during this event, it was obvious when it was live vs when it was not. I am not an apologist for Blackie and never will be. The ultimate sin for me is when one of my favorite musicians ever gets up on stage and fakes the funk for those of us who pay hard earned money to see him perform. I have loved this band since I first discovered them watching a VH1 documentary titled Heavy: The Story of Metal, Part 3, then discovering their music videos, before going to school every morning, when they were airing on VH1, I still remember buying Babylon when I was a junior in High School, recalling listening to it the first time, and how the hair on the back of my neck stood up… I do not care what anyone says, when I see a live performance I want it to be LIVE, anything else is fake and dishonest. I love Blackie but I want these shows to be 100% authentic, not lip synching to the original studio vocal during what’s supposed to be a live performance.

First up ~ a K-Pop band at a heavy metal venue was a fun little twist. Knowing it was a smaller venue, in town, affordable, and a 'less popular' group made this one a no-brainer to attend. The ladies seemed to be having fun and were very energetic on stage; seeing them from only 40' away was a great experience. Typical K-Pop event in the sense of no openers, just the main performance, started on time, and ran around 90min. While it was unfortunate that Lola was injured and couldn't take part in most of the choreography, it was great to still have her on stage and performing her lines and participating as she was able.

I've been going to see Firehouse since '90 or '91; I forget exactly when my first show was. But I've been hooked on them since I first heard them, and go to see them any chance I get. The stage at this venue is very high, which is kind of rough on the people like me who like to be in the very front. But it's worth the stiff neck the next day, and no one forces me to be up there. The lighting there is lousy for taking photos,, so I took a few but mostly just rocked. I've learned where to stand so I can watch everyone, which is fun. My only complaint is that the entire set was from the first couple albums. I have nothing against the old music; that's what I got hooked on, after all. But they've done several albums since then, and their last one, PRIME TIME, I think was their best yet. I'd have loved to hear a couple of songs from that. But whatever they're playing, I'll be there! And getting the drumstick from Michael was a great ending to the night.

Anyone who loves 80s hair bands will have a blast with That Arena Rock Show. Not only do they know their stuff musically, but they definitely put on a great show. I see them any time they come within a couple hours' drive -- which fortunately for me is fairly often. The lighting at King of Clubs leaves a lot to be desired, too dark. And the stage is high enough I left vowing to call my massage therapist (I insist on being right up front, so that part is my own fault). But as always, it was worth it!

This was not the W.A.S.P. I remember seeing in 1985. Obviously. It being a 40 year anniversary of the band, I expected more from the hype that Blackie created around this tour. It was good to hear the songs again, however the visuals simply weren’t there. The band was extremely good & the vocals were quite good. An admission of enhancement did take place in a fairly recent interview I read somewhere. That I don’t necessarily agree with but, the admission was forthright. It would’ve been nice to see Chris Holmes, Randy Piper & Steve Riley back with him for this anniversary tour. They’d have faired better in bigger venues. But, all bygones can’t take place, sadly. Overall, it was a good show. I’m just so glad I got to see them I’m their heyday. 🤟🎶🇺🇸

IT WAS A GREAT SHOW WITH 2 OF COLUMBUS FINEST MARK CHATFIELD AND WILLIE PHOENIX. DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHEN I WAS BUYING MERCH IN LINE, THERE WAS A TABLE BESIDE THE GODZ MERCH, NO WILLIE PHOENIX MERCH BUT SHIRTS AND CD'S FOR SOME BAND NOT EVEN ON THE VENUE NOT TO MENTION ONE OF THE WORSE BANDS IN COLUMBUS. SOUNDS LIKE SOMEBODY IS RIDING ON SOMBODY ELSES COAT TAILS LIKE THEY ALWAYS DO, I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THATS SEES THIS OR FEELS THE SAME OTHERWISE IT WAS A FABOLOUS NIGHT!!!

Crowbar never disappoints! I try to never miss Crowbar when they come to town or the surrounding area! Kirk and the band put on a great show. The opening band were pretty fantastic too! This was my first time to this new venue and it was really nice! Drink prices were great too! I got to talk to Kirk and his wife at the show. Super great people! The RIFFMASTER is the real deal!

This was one hell of a time I HIGHLY recommend going to see this band. I will time and time again it was that great! Every other band that was with them also, did a fantastic job. Not to mention venue (king of clubs)was also very nice and easy to get too. They even have their own parking lot so its not a extra expense. King of clubs also has a fantastic staff. It was all around such an awesome experience and well worth the money spent.

I love these guys! My neck is a bit sore due to the height on the stage and the fact I insist on being right up front, but it's worth it. Acoustics are weird at this club, kind of hard to hear the guitars as well as I should. Bass and drums and vocals come through well however. And while I couldn't see his face, the angle allowed me to actually watch what Ryan was playing, which was fun. The hardest part is trying to watch 5-7 people at the same time! For anyone who loves 80s hair bands, you have to see TARS if you get a chance. I first saw them in 2018, I think. And ever since then, I catch any show I can. Lots of fun!
