The KING of CLUBS

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.

This show was amazing Eddie held my hand during devil in disguise and kavan gave me his scarf during my way also unchained melody live was so surreal and emotional and incredible and American trilogy same thing the entire 1968 set was amazing the 50’s set was so much fun had us sining and dancing along immedatly songs like steamroller and my way and suspicious minds were iconic and electrifying and fun

I hear the potential. but... SOMETHING wasn't right.... sound guy off duty??? all I could hear was drums. I stood right in the middle, in the mosh zone. majority of us were looking around hoping it would be fixed, soon. I see the vocalist, but I can't hear him....at all. 3 out of 5 stars for still giving a pretty badass performance, given the audio was aweful.

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.

It was an amazing night, the size of club was perfect all the staff were friendly and helpful the drinks were so good. Omerta and can't swim were really good bands and perfect for opening up for Amity. Amity was amazing the energy from them and the crowd was insane, I couldn't hear after the show and my voice was gone 🤘 I will be seeing them again and coming back to the king of clubs for sure!

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.

It was a short set for the guys tonight being an opener...they jumped right into the hits with Love Me Two Times and finished the night with L.A. Woman! There's not another Doors tribute out there that has what these guys have...all original equipment and they have the look! If they walk in the room even if they aren't in stage attire you can say Oh!! there goes Ray or Robbie or John or Jim!!

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!

It was bitterly cold and windy. Website said doors open at 630. We were left outside standing in the weather for at least an hour because a meet and greet with Blackie went over for a total of 4 people! Total disrespect from the artist! Staff at the venue as always were very friendly and understanding. Armored Saint was great and WASP were playing all the hits. Overall, a thankfully a warm and entertaining show. It was wonderful to be inside!!!

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!!!

The women were great live on stage and in person. They went out of their way to make sure I got to meet all of them. I hope and believe they make it big. They are talented and great down to earth people. I drove from New Hampshire all the way to Columbus Ohio just to see them and it was worth it!!

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!

I've been anxiously awaiting to see Polaris live since discovering them 2 years ago, and they did not disappoint. It was the first time I've gotten so emotional watching a band that I literally had tears running down my face at one point. There are no words I can say to do justice for how good their live performance is, you have to experience it for yourself.

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!
