This week in Anaheim California we have seen one of the most exciting rock events of the year.
The National Association Of Music Merchants.
So why do I get excited about a merch show?
I'm always interested as to who shows up to try out and endorse the new products.... who looks awful on it, and who looks pretty good, who plays, who sounds great who doesnt etc...
It's not brain surgery.
This show is simply a rock star spot fest! from all genres and generations, you get a few surprises, you get the regulars and you get strange worlds colliding.
This is my annual equivalent of those women's magazines which you see on the stands with headlines likes ''Who's Jlo dating'' ''The Pippa diet'' and of course the endless gossip on Lyndsay Lohan.
So I get to see ''Whos Tommy fucking'' ''The David Crosby diet'' and of course the bitching between Lita Ford and Joan Jett...
I wanna know who acts like a wanker, and who's cool. Seems to have been a quieter year than last year, but things I've learnt: There is no way I would have recognised 2nd rater LA Guns members, Kerri Kelli appears to have aged by 20 years in the last 6 and Poisons CC Deville has the whitest teeth I have ever seen,
Big thanks to message board Metal Sludge and their coverage of the show as that is where I'm linking the pix from!
