The Rockstar Ramblings: The Last Vegas Slashed

by David. S. Grant – Metal Underground

The Last Vegas are Chicago area rockers best known for being Guitar Center’s On Stage contest winners (prize was touring with Motley Crue), and their last album “Whatever Gets You Off,” which was produced by DJ Ashba (Guns N’ Roses), Marti Frederiksen, and Nikki Sixx (Motley Crue, SIXX:A.M.). While their fans await the follow-up to their last album, the band has released a new music video for a song titled “The Other Side.” READ MORE…

AOL’s NoiseCreep releases The Last Vegas new Video / Single, the “Other Side” on Wednesday, November 2 at 1pm.

Legendary cult actress and ‘Scream Queen’, Sybil Danning (Howling II, Halloween, Werewolf Women of the SS) stars in and produces this classic piece of Americana trash rock cinema, which is receiving its exclusive premiere today on Noisecreep. Check it out HERE.

Sybil on working with THE LAST VEGAS:

“Working with Chad and THE LAST VEGAS, who are Hot, Sexy and Rock, on “The Other Side” music video was the ultimate in class act professionalism.  I’d rather be in hell with TLV, than in heaven with Mother Teresa. Mick Jagger once said, “It’s all right letting yourself go, as long as you can get yourself back!” With THE LAST VEGAS, I went to The Other Side; a good thing never ends!”

Happy Halloween, creeps.  The Last Vegas perform as The Runaways in Chicago, IL at Double Door’s Annual Halloween Show.

TLV lands again in Chicago this Wednesday night with international sensations, Steel Panther.  Happy Halloween!

Never before have I got flustered, but the self confessed DEVIL that is in the guise of “The Last Vegas” front man Chad Cherry does just that, he gets me flustered. WHY???? I don’t have a clue. Chicago based rockers “The Last Vegas ” consisting of Chad Cherry, Adam Arling, Danny Smash, John Wator and Nate Arling, certainly know how to rock and show an audience a good time. It’s time to lock up your daughters -Chad Cherry is about!

Before you read this interview I wish to share a recent status Chad wrote and for me this summed up exactly how he feels about his fans.

Chad Cherry :- Facebook Status 11/08/2011

“I am here to give fans of Rock ‘n Roll music something to believe in. I am here to fill a void in life (for you and myself) with our music, and I also want all of you to know that you can always count on me. ALWAYS!!!!!!!!!!!! Now turn that shit up and get crazy. LET ‘S ROCK THE FUCK OUT !!!!!!!

Love and Respect, C.C”

Helen H :- Hey Chad, Welcome to The Rockpit, this must be history – an interview where the person I am interviewing has me flustered, you definately are the devil (laughs) How are you????

C.C. Well. I’m allllllright (laughs). Peachy.

‘Whatever Gets You Off’, The Last Vegas’ major label debut is a testament to its name. It’s all for you. The veneer, the bite, the words and the way.

Everything they do, everything they play, it’s designed simply to get your rocks off. Or rather, get your rock on. And it succeeds.

The music wears its influences on its sleeve – in fact, it is not much more than its influences: AC/DC, Motley Crue, Aerosmith, the usual crowd. …what is has done is mixed up its progenitors’ sounds and style, streamlined it, and formulated it into an album’s worth of very high class-low class rock songs. The most impressive thing about the album is its consistency.

There is not a single bad song, as you would expect to hear by a relatively new name (now with Nikki Sixx’s endorsement) to the sleaze scene. You might expect a decent, solid-more-often-than-not selection, but instead you get some genuinely encouraging bona-fide balls-out rock and roll and sunset streetglam, one of the most promising new wave of sleaze albums in the last few years.

This one’s for the fans: The Last Vegas have digitally re-released 2008′s self-titled album, The Last Vegas, throughout planet Earth on iTunes.  This album originally was distributed in Europe with Cargo Records, sold out within 1 month, then got TLV picked up by Nikki Sixx & Motley Crue back in 2009.  Half of the album was re-mixed and featured on 2009′s Whatever Gets You Off.   The remaining songs, The Cruelty, Good Deal For Bad Times, Velvet Cream, Just One Look, Room at the Top, and So Young, So Pretty, So What are featured on this re-release. A little treat to tide the masses, hope you dig.
