Ramone

Ramone is living proof that if you do enough stupid radio bits, you'll get on the radio. Originally from the Detroit area, Ramone joined 107.7 RKR in 2006 as The Rocker morning intern. He went on to host nights and mid-days, before accepting a job at Wiser Productions as a talent agent in 2015. But don't worry, he's still lingering around, and you can listen to him preach the gospel of rock n' roll every Saturday from 3 to 8 p.m. right here on The Rocker!

Motley Crue Cancels Grand Rapids Show

Motley Crue canceled their Oct.13 show at the Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, according to MLive. The band didn't give a reason why they chose to pull the plug, but I'm speculating it's due to poor ticket sales. I don't need to remind you how awful they were last time they played here, but in case you forgot, the show was plagued with technical issues, poor sound, and sloppy playing, to name a fe
