Just The Tip
Genre: Rock, Classic Rock, 80's
Hometown: Greenwood, Indiana
Band names are interesting, I think. Kind of like street names. Some seem obvious, others not so. Just the tip....what does that mean? I guess that depends on where your mind leads you! According to their Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/justthetip77/timeline), "Once you get Just The Tip...we will leave you wanting more!!!" That being said, here's a sampling of what these local rockers have to offer....Van Halen (You Really Got Me), Heart (Barracuda), Guns N' Roses (Night Train, Sweet Child O' Mine), Joan Jett (I Hate Myself For Loving You, I Love Rock 'N' Roll), AC/DC (You Shook Me All Night Long), Danzig (Mother) and several others during their one set opener. As always, I like seeing the ladies front and center on the stage. So while the 'Urban Dictionary' has a much different definition of 'just the tip', I will say this in reference to their musical performance...perhaps just one set is a harmonious tease...but check them out...there is more than meets the eyes and ears. Carry on! :-)

I first saw these guys back in the spring, and was very impressed with their line-up. Y'all know I'm a big 80's r'nr fan...and GLAMerica definitely puts the 80's charisma in American rock and roll! Not satisfied with just one set, I had to see more...so finally, I got my chance! Certainly a memory lane journey for this genre....Guns N' Roses (Welcome To The Jungle, Home Sweet Home, Paradise City), Scorpions (Rock You Like A Hurricane), Poison (Talk Dirty To Me, Nothin' But A Good Time), Van Halen (Runnin' With The Devil, Jump), Pat Benatar (Love Is A Battlefield), Twisted Sister (I Wanna Rock), Journey (Separate Ways, Don't Stop Believin'), Whitesnake (Still of the Night), Autograph (Turn Up The Radio), Patty Smyth (The Warrior), Warrant (Cherry Pie) and also tunes by Bon Jovi, Styx, Def Leppard, Motley Crue and many others. Certainly a fitting tribute to an unequaled musical era in my opinion.
And if you think their visual presence takes you back, check out their stage names...note: the names have been changed to expose the guilty....or is that to protect the innocent? No....I think I had it right the first time! *grin*
