“I was home most of the day and bored shitless, so I decided to head out to Mercury Lounge [on Wednesday, 7/22] to see a random classic rock/hair metal-ish show, having never heard of any of the bands on the bill. During ZO2‘s set, they brought out the following guests on consecutive songs, back-to-back:
1.) John Popper on harmonica for what sounded like a ZO2 original;
2.) Marky Ramone on drums for a cover of Zeppelin’s “Good Times, Bad Times;”
3.) The lead dude from that hair metal thing on Broadway, Rock of Ages, for a cover of Bon Jovi’s “Dead or Alive” (with the guitarist donning a Jimmy Page-esque double neck Gibson);
4.) One of the Steves that was at some point in Journey on guest vocals for a song I didn’t recognize. No, it wasn’t Steve Perry, you wiseass. One of the other ones.” [Tuddd’s Muddd]
ZO2 are the stars of the IFC network tv show, Z Rock. The Rock Of Ages guy was Constantine Maroulis who became famous on American Idol. More pictures Z02’s set below…
