The band called Full Metal Jacket did their last show at the Suncoast last night. They weren't packing the place like Metal Shop did week after week. Anyway, Full Metal Jacket is possibly planning on changing their name to Metal Shop. The reason they are able to do this is because Metal Skools former manager is also their manager and owns the name "Metal Shop." What really pisses me off is that the guitar player has recently begun to copy Ratchet. He wears a red spikey wig just like Ratchets, but he always used to wear a blonde wig. He also opens his mouth like Ratchet and the band calls him "Ratchet" during the show. It' sad that they want to change their name to Metal Shop so people will be lured in to the show. No one could ever copy the real Metal Shop because their show takes you to another world.

If that wasn't bad enough, they took a potshot at Ginger mocking the hair solo and then saying Ginger Roxx -- NEVER HEARD OF HIM. They went as far as to say that they would not only play as METAL SHOP, but even as DANGER KITTY if they wanted to.
I tried to give these guys a chance, but besides for the drummer, Blackhead, who ironically used to be in Metal Shop, they all stink. The Bass player is just a poor rip off of Ginger, even copying when Ginger takes the lead in Round N Round.
This wannabee Ratchet just has no charisma, tried to be funny, missed more notes than you can imagine, i can go on and on.
I won't get started on "Nigel"
We walked out when they totally ripped off Metal Shop's Whitesnake rip-off bit. That was when I saw enough.
Ironic how a Cover band has to rip off another cover band's bit about bands ripping off other bands. Kind of puts FULL METAL JACKET into perspective.
Until the return of Metal SKOOL, i'll just keep digging the Punks shows at Sunset Station, its not Metal SKool, but its a hell of a lot closer than these other wannabees.

I agree with you Titan, I am going to go to the Atomic Punks till Metal Skool returns to Vegas. It sucks driving all the way down to the Sunset Station when u live in Summerlin though. I miss all the great times I had at the Suncoast every Tuesday with Metal Shop. It's been about 4 months since they did a show in Vegas and I'm beginning to doubt their return. ![[Frown]](frown.gif)

Yes, please come back to the Suncoast! Metal Shop is now Metal Skool, so maybe the Suncoast would hire u guys back due to the name change. ![[Razz]](tongue.gif)
