The very successful Rock And Roll Heaven/Old Bridge Metal Militia Reunion Concert and Fundraiser, spearheaded by co-creators Jon and Marsha Zazula, raised over $40,000 in proceeds for Superstorm Sandy relief on Saturday at the Encore Events Center in Freehold NJ. 1,800 people attended the show, which sold out in advance and kicked off with a once-in-a-lifetime meet & greet opportunity for longtime fans. Attendees witnessed remarkable performances by TWISTED SISTER, ANVIL, RAVEN, THE RODS, TT QUICK and LORDS OF MERCY, and an all-star jam closed out the show, featuring surprise appearances by JD Deservio of BLACK LABEL SOCIETY and Snake Sabo of SKID ROW.
A near 40-minute minute documentary of the event of the concert has been released and can be seen below:
Charitable efforts were headed by Tattoo Tony Rodriguez of the Under My Skin For Life Foundation. Hundreds of families in New Jersey and Staten Island will be visited by Jon and Marsha Zazula and personally handed gift cards to Home Depot to help in the restoration of their homes devastated by Superstorm Sandy.
