There’s a snow storm happening in Toronto and what better time to escape then by heading to Miami for the eighth annual Monsters of Rock Cruise? Spending 6 days on a luxury liner in the Caribbean sounds quite appealing in and of itself, now add 40+ rock bands and stops on two private beaches (one on Coco Cay in The Bahamas, the other on Labadee in Haiti) and you’re living and partying like a rockstar for a week.
The cruise boasts non-stop concerts from morning till late in every venue the ship, Royal Caribbean’s Navigator of The Seas, has to offer. Time to pull out the schedule and decide which shows I want to catch tonight…. There are so many events and concerts that you almost have to plan your day around what shows you want to see, and it’s near impossible to see everyone you want. Luckily though, almost band performs at least twice over the week.
Day 1 included a headline set by Tyketto, along with killer shows by Pretty Maids and Autograph.

Three world class guitarists — and even beyond the realms of intergalactic boundaries as far as the music that exudes from their guitars is concerned — performed at Toronto’s Massey Hall last week. Joe Satriani brought his G3 tour through town, accompanied on stage by Phil Collen (of Def Leppard), as well as John Petrucci (of Dream Theater).
These guitarists make their instruments absolutely sing on an individual level, but get the three of them playing together at the same time, well, now you’re talking pure magic. Each musician played an individual set show-casing their unique styles of playing. Phil Collen with his band Delta Deep started the evening off with some real southern fried blues. It was down and dirty, raunchy and GOOD!
Next on stage was John Petrucci with his band for a set of incredibly technical heavy metal; headbangin’ and kick-ass rock tunes were to be had! And then came Joe Satriani! The sounds that come out of this man’s guitar are nothing short of amazing. I swear there were moments when I heard the guitar singing to him, with a human voice.
Finally, all three guitar virtuosos hit the stage together to a standing ovation. When they played together, accompanied by Debbi Blackwell-Cook on vocals, it was sheer joy in the faces of the crowd.
Phil Collen’s Set List:
01. Quadrant 4
02. Yo 2 Joe
03. Bless These Blues

Over the span of an average lifetime there are a few rare stars that outshine all others. Now, I mean real legends, icons, idols… whatever you wish to label them. On Saturday night, one of these stars was in Toronto at Massey Hall. Robert Plant brought his band the Sensational Space Shifters to town on this only Canadian stop during his “Carry Fire World Tour.”
You could almost see the anticipation, and definitely feel the excitement in the air as fans packed the house to the rafters. I mean, it’s Robert Plant! Without a doubt one of the best hard rock front men of all time, and as close as anyone’s ever going to get to seeing Led Zeppelin again.
You could see that googly-eyed starstruck rock fan in everyone’s face, regardless of age. Myself included. Robert Plant does that to people. I even showed my Mother a picture from the show. She looked over at my Father, elbowed him, and said… “See , now that’s what YOU should look like.”
It was a wonderful evening of music. Some of his latest songs, along with older solo work, and then of course some Zeppelin songs peppered in. This was definitely one of those “bucket list” evenings for me and most certainly almost every other attendee..
Robert Plant’s Setlist:
01. New World
02. Turn It Up
03. The May Queen
04. Rainbow
05. That’s The Way
06. All The King’s Horses
07. Please Read The Letter
08. Gallows Pole
09. Carry Fire
10. Little Maggie
11. Fixin’ To Die
12. Misty Mountain Hop
13. In The Mood
14. Bring It On Home/Whole Lotta Love

Florida rockers Sleeping With Sirens stopped at the Danforth Music Hall in Toronto on their “Gossip World Tour,” along with opening act Set It Off who also hail from Florida. Set It Off were already on stage and into their third song as I arrived at the venue. At first, I wondered if I had accidentally wandered into the wrong venue as the band were doing a cover of the Backstreet Boys. Judging by the shrieking young girls that were the majority of the crowd, they loved it!
I think we’ve stumbled across a new music genre, I would describe it as “Bubblegum Metal”. Set It Off had quite the stage presence, and had everyone bouncing around. Fittingly, they really did “Set It Off” for the evening.
Headliners Sleeping With Sirens seemed to start their set off with a minor technical glitch. The vocals were missing through part of the first song, but the powerhouse guitarists made it almost seamless. The audience didn’t seem to mind either, they were bouncing around, partying and having a grand old time. Just as a Friday night should be spent… listening to heavy rock in the city!
Sleeping With Sirens’ Setlist:
01. Feel
02. Low
03. Go Go Go
04. Better Off Dead
05. Empire To Ashes
06. Hole In My Heart
07. One-Man Army
08. 2 Chord
09. Gossip
10. The Strays
11. Trouble
12. Fly
13. Legends
14. If I’m James Dean , You’re Audrey Hepburn
15. If You Can’t Hang
16. Kick Me
