Ahoy Matey, Shiprocked Day #5 is here with the next stop being beautiful Amber Cove in the Dominican Republic!
I did a little exploring around the port area before hitting the pool party.

Ayron Jones
Ayron Jones hit the main stage as a 3-piece for their second and final performance of the trip. Unfortunately, their guitarist Matt Jacquette had a bout with seasickness and a migraine and couldn’t join them on stage that night. However, Ayron, Bob & Big Sexy held it down in fine form with another incredible performance. Make sure you see Ayron & his band next time you have a chance, they’re fantastic and only getting better!
Robot Monster
I really enjoyed what I heard while watching a few songs from the duo known as Robot Monster! I definitely want to hear some more! @RobotMonsterMusic
Corey Glover & Friends
This was one of the most talked about performances of the entire trip! Joined by Phil Demmel, Aranda & others, Corey sang anything and everything that night. Purple Rain from Prince, Wanted Dead or Alive from Bon Jovi, Reelin’ in the Years from Steely Dan among others. He even played some rare stuff off of his solo albums. It was such an amazing performance, that other bands were commenting on it from the stage of their own performances later in the trip. Corey will be playing with Soul Asylum this weekend at the Sellersville Theater – GO!
David Ellefson
One of the many cool parts about this trip, was that you never knew who you were going to run into and where! I bumped into Megadeth legend David Ellefson while watching Corey Glover’s performance in the atrium. Super cool dude and big fan of WMMR!
Nothing More
This was the second and final performance for Nothing More on the ship, down in the theater. Frontman Jonny Hawkins was rockin’ a Viking helmet for most of the set since the ship’s theme that day was ‘Shipnarok’.
Falling In Reverse
Falling In Reverse rocked the mainstage for their second and final performance of the trip – even playing their hit song ‘Popular Monster’ TWICE in a row to wrap the night. (I’m not too sure why either)
