VAN HELSING'S CURSE @ THE JOINT 10/21/2006
I never thought I'd hear the wordz "A Druid caught the bouquet"
But I did tonight,uttered by my Rockitqeen,after Dee Snider and his wife Suzanne renewed thier wedding vowz tonight after a performance of his Halloween Tribute band Van Helsing's Curse,az she thru the bouquet of black roses to the druids.
No,it'z true,really.
After the performance of Snider's answer to The Transiberian Orchestra,Dee and his wife invited us all to stay and witness them renew thier wedding vows.The bride wearing black walked down the aisle of the Hard Rocks' Joint to Tubilar Bells.Penn Jillete presided over the vows.
I never thought I would ever be at a Dee Snider wedding.Yet another great reason why Las Vegas iz one freekin' unique place.
Az for Van Helsing's Curse,well,it waz pretty cool.Cheesy and melodramatic,but Halloween iz supposed to be,and the band waz pretty darn awesome az they crunched out heavy versions of classic orchestral horror themes,my fave being the song "Cry Little Sister"which Dee sang(he mostly narrates thru-out the show)and thier version of The Munsters Theme.
Everyone in the band iz hot and decked out in horror gear-from zombie like bass players to raunchy goth kitten geeatr twangerz.There'z a little s & m girl half naked strapped to a cross as a sacrifice to the band bit,creepy glares from the band and Eddie Van Halenesque geetar solos done on a flying V violin.It'z sexy,loud and baudy,and downright silly,and ya can't help gettin' sucked up in it.
Unfortunatly for the rest of yooz,the only showz they're doing this year were the two nightz in Vegas,but I'm guessing it'll be back next year for thoze who missed out.
After the past few crappy weeks it waz nice to actually have some Halloweenie Roktober fun.
