The Details: One of the most exciting bands to hit the stages over the last year or so has got to be the Dead Daisies. Their sound is rocking and brings the love of the Hard Rock vibe to life with each and every song that they deliver. They are fronted by Jon Corabi who some of you might remember from Motley Crue and even The Scream if you were paying proper attention back in the day and he is joined by a cadre of awesome players that include Doug Aldrich who played with Whitesnake for a few years. They’ve just released an amazing live album and this show at the Highline Ballroom is going to raise the bar in terms of a quality Rock Show. Thanks to the fine folks in the Marketing Division of the venue, we are proud to be putting some of our ardent readers into this show for free. Check out the details on how to participate.
When and Where: Thursday, August 17th @ Highline Ballroom (431 W 16th St, NYC)
To Participate: I’ve decided to keep this an easy one and by saying that I mean I will be sticking to my usual formula of you readers giving me “3” things that you like most about the band if you have heard them already and if you are a newbie just give me “3” things that you are most interested in about their performance. Perhaps there are albums that “spoke” to you or concert appearances that sent you to the music shop to snag some of the band members earlier works. Just give me three solid answers and how important it is to be at this show. I know I make you work but I work here too so whining will not win out at all LOL. Make this good reading because the stuff remains on the website and can likely inspire new fans as well on how our freebies work. Writing “because they rock dude” is just too un-original and boring. I’ll be responding to the comments that I like most right below their answer. Kindly review some guidelines before entering your submission.
– Enter only enter once. The comments are moderated and will not appear immediately after submission.
– Number them for ease of knowing if you followed the instructions or not if I’ve asked for a list.
– Please enter your full real name in the comment form along with an email address that you can be reached at if you win. This is necessary for listing purposes. Please do NOT put this information in the comment itself out of privacy concerns.
– Only enter if you can and will attend the show should you win and it’s logistically possible for you to do so. Essentially if you live a couple of hundred miles away we don’t think you’re coming here for a show in NYC.
– Subscribe to the comments and check back to see the responses so you know if you won or not.
– Make sure you are entering a NEW comment and not replying to another contestant’s entry as that makes notifying you difficult should you be marked as a winner.
Please be aware that this is for a SINGLE TICKET ONLY and no plus ones or guest requests can or will be honored. No exceptions. Bring it on as this one will close by noon on the day of show or when the supply has been depleted.
Restrictions: All PiercingMetal contests are open to our loyal readers and Social Network followers but that said we are still looking for the new names first. Don’t let that stop you from entering of course but we do keep track based on the overall demand for this stuff at this point. We want EVERYONE to have a chance to enjoy a show on the provider and PiercingMetal but if you just won a contest recently you will likely not have a chance for this one. Please note that Anonymous or Guest comments will not be approved.
If You Win This Contest: If you are marked as one of the winners for this contest, here is how to claim the ticket. On the night of the show go to the venue podium and ask for the House Guest List. Please bring proper identification (driver’s license, passport, NYC ID card) and your name will be checked off that list for you to enter. If you encounter any difficulty, please politely ask for an onsite manager and cite how this contest was done in coordination with venue Marketing and PiercingMetal.com. Check the show listings that night so you arrive with plenty of time to get a good spot. You can also expect an email to the provided address reminding you of the win so make sure that @piercingmetal.com is listed as a safe domain to receive notes from.

Well I’ve never seen them, but you put Aldrich Corabi and Mendoza together and it has got to be a must see! I’ve seen them play in their respective bands, big fan of all. Cant wait to see them live . Between the influences and the talent should rock the house ! And as usual, always a good time when you show up Ken!
This works for me Silver so congrats you are hitting the Dead Daisies show on Thursday at the beautiful Highline Ballroom. Please refer to the part of the posting marked “If You Win This Contest” for all of the necessary details. Sadly I will not be able to make this one.
Won’t be the same without ya Ken!
I love this band. John Corabi is a fantastic singer. Doug Aldrich on guitar. The great Brian Tichy on drums. Kinda like a supergroup. I have all their albums. The new live album is awesome. Some excellent cover tunes on it. Some great, talented musicians doing what they do best. Really looking forward to this show
I know Seth right? Powerhouse of a lineup and a band that more people need to know about. Keeping this simple since I am a busy dude today, you have won a ticket to see Dead Daisies at the excellent Highline Ballroom on Thursday. Please refer to the part of the posting marked “If You Win This Contest” for all of the necessary details.
I have never seen the Dead Daisies but was on the Def Leppard cruise last year and the Monsters of Rock cruise this past February. I did however get to see John perform an acoustic set back in March at Blackthorn 51. I got to have a conversation with John and he is a great musician.
Doug Aldrich, I remember from his band Lion and the song “Power Love”. On the Def Leppard cruise, I found out from another traveler that “The Transforners” theme is from his stint with Lion on the “Dangerous Attraction” album. I also remember him on Hurricane’s “Slave to the Thrill” album as well as his stint in Whitesnake.
Marco Mendoza I got to see when he played with Thin Lizzy that featured Vivian Campbell in 2011 and in 2014 with Black Star Riders. Seeing them all together would be anything but epic if chosen.
Wow Anne, so you’ve never seen the Dead Daisies before have you? Well that makes me super glad to let you know that we here at the PiercingMetal Command HQ are going to solve that little issue by giving you a ticket for the bands appearance at the Highline Ballroom on Thursday. Please refer to the part of the posting marked “If You Win This Contest” for all of the necessary details. You can thank us by inviting as many people in your Metal world as possible to like the PiercingMetal Facebook Page. There is strength in numbers after all.
I need to win a Dead Daisies ticket because:
1. They are an awesome “new” band that is creating great original rock-n-roll music.
2. They kick ass live!
3. I’ve been a huge supporter of John Corabi and Doug Aldrich for years.
Oh I agree with all of these points Cheryl, so congrats because you are going to see Dead Daisies on Thursday at Highline Ballroom. Please refer to the part of the posting marked “If You Win This Contest” for all of the necessary details.
