Author Review Bambi posted October 7, 2002 2:09 AM I really loved The Atomic Punks. Very proffesional ,fun and sound exactly like Van Halen . Also nice guys, got all of their autographs with a smile. I've seen them at Gussie's twice, Hollywood once, and then Haliewa and they put on an awesommme show!! Show Date: Sept 21st. 2002 | Venue: Haliewa Marketplace kenny forbes posted October 6, 2002 6:32 PM This was my 10th or 11th time seeing the Magnificent Atomic Punks and I still can't figure out how you guys pulled THIS one off- after all, the audience was 80% country oriented and yet you managed to get everyone into the music pretty quickly!!! However, I must give Ralph some advice- next time you ask women up to the stage, PLEASE do not make it a cattle call- select them carefully!!! (Read between the lines on this one; it's obvious what I'm talking about here) Anyway, when will you be in Vegas again??? Keep on Rockin' Show Date: 0ctober 5th, 2002 | Venue: Pahrump , Nevada Keith posted October 4, 2002 5:30 PM I have been playing in bands for over ten years and always looked to Van Halen for inspiration with catchy songs, and that gritty, rusty-nail- oh-crap-I-chipped-my-tooth guitar sound that Eddie made so famous. I never got to see the REAL Van Halen with Roth, and the latest Roth/Hagar tour I wasn't too thrilled about. I went to the House of Blues and witnessed the Atomic Punks and I was floored!! I may not have seen the real Van Halen re-grouped--but who the hell cares now. You guys pulled it off--with the look, the guitar sound that has even eluded Eddie in his post-Roth days, and the attitude. Good job!! Show Date: Sept. 7, 2002 | Venue: House of Blues sean posted October 2, 2002 1:48 PM As always I thought it was a great show. With the special guests and all. (on the 29thshow). I had a golf tournament that weekend and brought 12 new people that were Van Halen fans and couldn't believe what a great show it was thanks again this is about the 20th show I've had the pleasure of seeing I'll be there again I'm sure. Thanks to all. And no I've never had Ralph say "Give it up for the drunk guy in the front row" We allway sit to the left of the stage with the bald guy that always wants to sing Ice cream man, He's such the drunk guy in the front row. Thanks for the good times. Show Date: sept 29 and 30 | Venue: Sunset station Las Vegas Ron Larson posted October 2, 2002 11:09 AM This was our second time going to see the Punks, the first being KLOS' Livestock show. I continue to be impressed both with what great musicians you guys are and how much fun your show is! I've seen Van Halen live, and frankly I have just as much fun seeing you guys! So keep it up and we'll keep coming back for more!! Show Date: September 7, 2002 | Venue: House of Blues, Anaheim Atomic Bass-Joe posted September 30, 2002 8:18 AM Thanks Vince...you ROCK!!! Show Date: 9-28 | Venue: Vegas vegas vince posted September 29, 2002 10:31 PM well it's ABOUT TIME!! two months is far too long to wait for the PUNKS! vegas needs you guys! SO... the vegas shows this weekend... what can i say? FRIDAY night may have been one of their BEST SHOWS YET! for many reasons... one of which was that PAUL GILBERT(holy crap!) and SCOTT TRAVIS (wow!) dropped in and played a couple of tunes!! russ decided mid-song that paul would do "runnin' with the devil" some justice, and ya know... HE WAS RIGHT! scott travis rocked out on "DOA"! it was AMAZING. both guys were phenomonal and were also very cool to talk to! ON WITH THE SHOW!! i have seen the punks MANY times and i have to say again, friday was one of the best, they just plain ROCKED! everyone seemed very comfortable and the crowd responded accordingly! SATURDAY night started out with a little bit of technical trouble for joe, but it was quickly remedied and the show went without a hitch! the guys had a LOT of fun (watch closely for the mic stand battles between joe and russ...hint: joe is lot taller than russ!) and it showed... once again, the crowd ate it up! ending the first set with "unchained" and closing out the night with "hot for teacher", the SAT show was AWESOME! eventually, i will honestly try to have something bad to say about the shows (oh yeah! ralph said to make sure and say that he sucks!- whatever). but until they stop KICKING ASS, then i will just have to keep saying that they DO! see ya next time in SIN CITY!! thanks... vegas vince Show Date: 9/27-9/28 | Venue: club madrid Joe posted September 29, 2002 6:42 AM This was the second time seeing the AP's. Once again a great performance. Sound was perfect, music was perfect. There was an idiot in the croud that did not like them playing Ozzy and Why Can't This Be Love, but he could have left. I chose not to see the last DLR show and opted instead for the Punks. These guys should actually get more $ for their shows. They don't miss a beat and it's 1st class entertainment. Show Date: few weeks ago | Venue: Cajun House, ScottsdaleAZ Jeff Seefeld posted September 24, 2002 7:08 PM Excellent. I thought the lead guitarist wailed. I went in skeptical but had a bad ass day. Mahalo for bringing this wonderful music to us out in the islands. Keep it up. Show Date: 9/21/02 | Venue: Haleiwa, Hawaii Rockfest Craig Jacobson posted September 23, 2002 5:14 PM The Atomic Punks sounded fantastic with great drum playing, guitar, bass, and singing. They were alot of fun and the band is very friendly with us fans throughout the show. Having Ralph acknowledge my prescence and say hi to us while he is singing is pretty cool! They even put me and my electric wheelchair up real close so I could see over the tall people. Show Date: Sept. 1 | Venue: Cajun House Atomic Bass (Joe) posted September 19, 2002 3:55 PM Thanks for the great review FullBug!! Everyone, we do not claim that "We are the #1 rock tribute band in the world." Let's make that perfectly clear. We love what we do and glad everyone enjoys it. But that is not a quote from us. Rock On!!! Show Date: All | Venue: All FULLBUG posted September 18, 2002 10:37 PM Unreal Sound, Unreal Presence, Unrivaled Excellence!! The Atomic Punks are the greatest Rock Band assembled this century. You know why? Because, unlike the "real" Roth-Halen, they are giving us what we want, LIVE, EARLY VAN HALEN!!! This Fab Four is unrelenting in their pursuit of Halenizing all comers, Young & Old. Young, Rock Thirsty Babes who don't even own a Van Halen CD worship the guitar mastery of Mr. Eddie Van "Russ", and give there Breasts as sacrifice to Mr. David Lee "Ralph". At "FAKE FEST #1" they stepped to the stage and once again Musically pounded with a Granite Hammer, "WE ARE THE #1 ROCK TRIBUTE BAND IN THE WORLD!" Never leave us PUNKS, for we will surely perish into the dark void known as, Musical Mediocrity. FULLBUG Show Date: ALL VEGAS SHOWS | Venue: ALL VEGAS VENUES Joel Krueger posted September 16, 2002 3:36 PM Oh God, it was like I died and went to Van Halen heaven!! Gimme a break! - I mean these guys were so unbelievably great - I left there thinkin' these guys are the best band on the planet right now. It was my first time seeing the punks and being a fan of Van Halen for like 24 years - having grown up that stuff - these guys just couldn't have been any better - they totally rule - super top notch!! All the guys were hella cool too! I really wish you guys the best -Hell, I'm tempted to quit my day job and follow the band around! I will definitely be there next and promote the hell outta you guys in the mean time! Please keep up the great work! Atomic Punks truly rule!!! - JK Show Date: 9-14-02 | Venue: Roadhouse,Sacramento Jeff posted September 16, 2002 3:33 PM Once again the Punks put on a great show in Sacramento. They did a ton of old school VH with a few DLR solo tunes thrown in. Yankee Rose & Tobacco Road were great. Unchained was probably the best tune along with Devil & Bottom's up. I will be ready for the SoCal roadie in a couple of weeks to catch the Punks again. Jeff Show Date: 9/14/02 | Venue: The Roadhouse/Sacramento Steve posted September 16, 2002 12:55 AM The Punks were great as usual, it's cool to see them up here, I know they don't get up here that often. But it was a smokin' set from start to finish, Van Halen should only sound this good now Come back to No Cal again soon boys! Show Date: September 14, 2002 | Venue: The Roadhouse
