The original “We Are The World” and last year’s “We Are The World 25 For Haiti” featured great artists raising money for important causes, but they failed to do one thing—really rock!
No worries there with the '80s Rockers For Japan benefit Saturday, April 16 at Harper’s in Reseda.
Organized by Terry Ilous (XYZ, Great White), the show will include members of some of the '80s most popular rock and metal bands. Ilous and Jeff Paris have also written a song and are creating a video that will feature many of the participating musicians. The song will be recorded, and the video shot, live at the benefit. It will subsequently be available on iTunes. Proceeds from the event and sales of the track and video will be donated to the American Red Cross Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami Relief efforts.
"Japan has always been very supportive of our kind of music, and this is our small way of giving back,” says Ilous.
In addition to Ilous, performers who have committed to the show include Chris Slade (AC/DC/ The Firm), Rudy Sarzo (Whitesnake/Ozzy Osbourne/ Blue Oyster Cult), Brian Tichy (Whitesnake /Foreigner/Billy Idol), Richie Kotzen (Poison/Mr. Big), Bobby Kimball (Toto) Juan Croucier (Ratt), John Payne (Asia), Teddy Zigzag (Guns N’ Roses), James Lomenzo (Megadeth/Black Label Society), Marco Mendoza (Thin Lizzy/Whitesnake), Robin McAuley (Survivor /MSG), Simon Wright (Dio/AC/DC/UFO), Robert Sarzo (Hurricane) and Mitch Perry (MSG/Asia/Edgar Winter),Vinnie Appice ( Black Sabbath ),Eric Ragno,Michael T Ross, Stu Simone,band Jet Boy ,Michael Thomas ( Adler's Appetite) and Steven Adler (Guns And Roses and Dizzy Reed ( Guns And Roses ) Tony Marcus ( XYZ ) Tony Montana of Great White ,and Jeff Paris.
