The venue was packed, with attendees of the concert including legendary record producer Max Norman, bassist Scott Griffin and even KISS drummer Eric Singer!įor the opening band, we got a set from Jason Walker and The Majestic 12. I love and adore this venue, but I desperately hope they expand in the near future.

Even with most of the main room’s dining tables removed, it was still packed wall to wall. Vamp’d gets many of the best rock shows in Vegas, but there are limitations due to the relatively small size of the building. Of course, nights like this also highlight the largest weakness of the otherwise stellar venue – the size, or lack thereof.

It’s always my favorite place in Sin City to catch a gig. As always, hats off to the staff of this rock house for taking care of the fans. The Vamp’d staff kept things moving along at a speedy pace, though, so the fans weren’t outside in the cold and wind for too long. The first thing I noticed upon arriving at Vamp’d was that there was a huge line of people, stretching into their back parking lot! If you need proof that rock isn’t dead, that’s all you need right there. Last year, we got plenty of killer gigs there, and more are on the horizon. Even with the current hectic nature of the modern world, there have been plenty of solid shows coming back, and this is just one of the latest examples. Their show took place at Count’s Vamp’d, Las Vegas’ premier house of all things rock and roll. It shouldn’t surprise you that I was pleased to hear the duo was hitting up Las Vegas as one of the few tour dates they’d scheduled. But any doubts I had about such a collaboration were shattered when they released an album together last year, which quickly became one of my favorite rock releases of 2021. They’re two men I never thought would make a record together…. These men are from two different schools of rock and metal guitar, with one more from the old school blues rock world, and one from the world of epic heavy metal. Big/The Winery Dogs guitarist Richie Kotzen. One of the pleasant surprises of the world of hard rock and metal last year was a record that combined the talents of Iron Maiden guitarist Adrian Smith and Poison/Mr. Smith/Kotzen played Count’s Vamp’d on Saturday, January 22, 2022.
