WELCOME BACK! This month we're featuring many of the bands that performed on this years Monsters of Rock Cruise, as well as some of the bands scheduled to appear on NEXT years cruise.

We have a new "Play It or Slay It" this month featuring three tracks off of the brand new album from Jake E. Lee's Red Dragon Cartel. Our Monster Memory for this month is a band that was formed in Louisiana in 1975 but they didn't hit mainstream success until 1983 when the album featuring THIS song was released. Oh ... and they're also slated to play on the 2015 Monsters of Rock Cruise. Think you know who it is? Make sure to check out the show to see if you're right!
