I'm out of #morc pics and ready to start posting my top 100 #boardgames. It's going to be a huge challenge with the character limit here but I think I'm going to give it a go and see what happens. The alternative is something like WordPress or Substack, and honestly I'm feeling too lazy for that.
We have reached the last #morc post!
Eclipse had the best background, with strong "Greetings from Asbury Park" vibes. But, like many of my favorite bands, they are from Sweden & I feel like I should just emigrate. It would be cheaper than buying plane tickets every time I wanted to see a show.
More #morc! My love of Vixen is tied very closely to my love of Richard Marx (go ahead, look up who wrote Edge of A Broken Heart).
LA Guns on #morc! Electric Gypsy is their best song and I will die on that hill.
A few years ago Bill and I were in Seaside Heights and stumbled upon Tiffany (yes THAT Tiffany) performing. Her band included not one but two members of LA Guns. Unfortunately, we did not see Tiffany on the boat.
Next up on #morc, Wildstreet! We saw them at the pre-party & talked to the singer after (and several more times. He was ALL OVER the boat & I kept ending up near him at shows. He probably thinks I'm a stalker). The first set sold us enough that we rearranged our schedule to see the band again.
Hardcore Superstar was the band that got us on #morc. They were also the worst set of pictures I took, and I only have pictures from one of the times we saw them. I was probably too enthralled the other times.
They sing your favorite song, you just don't know it yet: youtu.be/YiGDErbSjWg?...
You Know I love giving you
Musical Interludes to cleanse the palate, as it were...

After Michael Monroe we swung by the end of the Sisters Doll set. They played Hot Cherie, thus disabusing me of the notion that I am the only person who cares about, let alone loves, that song. Their original stuff is good, too. Definitely a band worth checking out. #morc

Next up on #morc was Michael Monroe, primarily of Hanoi Rocks. There are alot of great lead singers out there, but not all of them have "it." Michael Monroe has serious frontman qualities.
We opened our wedding reception with the Hanoi Rocks version of "Up Around the Bend."

Next up on #morc, a next level cover band called The Iron Maidens. I am not the world's biggest Iron Maiden fan, and their first set was loaded with some pretty deep cuts, but they still put on one hell of a show.
A few upcoming sets of #morc pictures were at Spice H2O, which was my favorite venue. In addition to the stellar setup & view, the place had the best bartenders on board.
The band pictured is Cold Sweat. One of the band members was also a member of Cassandra's band Crucial Taunt in Wayne's World.
(Will be posting my top 100 #boardgames after I'm done with the #morc stuff so please don't leave if that's what you're here for).
The first band we saw on #morc was Wig Wam. Pics are from both the sail away show and a second performance a few days later.
A lot of the bands sell cruise-specific merch on the ship, which is super cool. Cruel Intentions had the best one, in my humble opinion. #morc
It's been awhile, and that's because I was on the Monsters Of Rock Cruise!
I have about a million pictures and videos and if I post them all at once no one will look at them so I'm going to break this up. Let's start with the list of which bands we saw and how many times we saw them. #morc
In my religion, sometimes (if you've lived a good life) a member of #BurningWitches strangles you to death just before it's your time. As a reward.

For those going on the Monsters of Rock Cruise: guitarist Joel Hoekstra (Whitesnake, Cher) recalls how he started its annual basketball event mixing up rockers and cruisers. Full "Side Jams" episode here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_p_h...
