So is there any love for ROB ROCK?

[Metaldrumz]

Man I been DYING to see him play this festival. Ever since he teased us a couple years back I been wanting him to come play with his solo band.

Holy Hell is a monstrous album IMO, and Rob Rock I believe is one of the most underated Metal singers alive today.

I could see him in a 3rd slot, but I think he would be a good fit for the showcase if it wasn't for FK and VP.

 

[Heavenly Call]

Lots of love here, but given the spaces left in the line-up this year...I'm thinking not too likely. He was awesome at the Sun and Steel festival a few years back though. Hell of a nice guy too!

I love Rob Rock, but I didn't start appreciating him until after his appearance at PPV. With that said, I didn't get to meet him.

Forgive my ignorance, but what band was he with at PPV?

But, yeah....this guy rocks!

He did a guest appearance with Edguy. Photos.

 

[TychoCelchu]

He would be a draw for me to future PPs.

He was the special guest that year.

I really liked "Holy Hell" quite a bit. I definitely wouldnt agrue with an appearance.

I also thought Holy Hell was awesome. I'd love to see Rob Rock perform. I'm surprised he hasn't yet.

 

[livingwithwolves]

I dig his stuff he did with WARRIOR.

 

[kellsco]

I have the love.

 

[J-Dubya 777]

Count me in as well. Been a Rock fan since Project Driver, and really liked what he did with Impelliteri.....

Rob Rock is the man

 

[ashaman7122]

That was cool seeing a bit of Avantasia with Rob & Timo at PPV.

Count me in for a Rob Rock fan as well. Seeing as how he's based out of Florida, I'm surprised he hasn't occupied a slot at PPUSA. When Holy Hell was released, I thought it was a perfect opportunity.

Maybe next album...

 

[spiralcharlie]

hes a damn good vocalist

Gotta throw in my 2 cents - in 1996 (or was it 97??) I caught Impelliterri on a special "Japanese Tour warm up show" at the Whiskey in Hollywood......Chris was decent, although he seemed more interested in "showing off" then actually playing his tunes at a normal pace. ANYWAY, the highlight of the show was Rob Rock. Period. I gotta tell ya, like many folks here, I've seen tons of shows with tons of bands we all know and love. I'm not bullshitting when I say Rock was the BEST metal singer I have seen live. The man hits every single note clear as day and makes it look easy. Crisp, clean, and powerfull. Why this guy isn't a household name in metal is beyond me.....Dickinson, Halford, etc.....they are all amazing singers, but to hear this guy live would make your jaw drop for sure. Sooooooo, should he be at a future PP and would he fit nicely into the scheme of things?? HELL YES!!!
ok....now I'm going to implode......

AMEN!!!

I was VERY lucky to see Rob play with his old band VICE in Oct of 2005. They did Rob Rock solo stuff, Vice originals, and even COVER SONGS!! It was absolutely amazing!

Like you said he hits every note with precision, and how hes never mentioned among the greats is baffling to me. This guy is incredible!

Thanks for sharing that story, I wish I coulda been there!

Being very VERY careful to discern the massive difference between ROB ROCK and BOB ROCK.


One is metal. The other is NOT.

I would love to see Rob play. I have been a huge fan of his vocals since before he went the solo route. I also have had the pleasure of helping him out with a few things and found him to be a very cool guy. So yep much love!
