10 High Club

Best Live Venue in Atlanta

by guitarhero at Citysearch

I recently discovered the 10High because a review here about the Metalsome events. Metalsome is karaoke with a live band. I have done karaoke before, but never like this. I don't think I will ever do jukebox karaoke again after going to the 10high.

The cover was $5 like review here said (thanks for the "rock til you drop" review, because I was one of the first 50 there and was also able to sing in the first set for free). I can definately see myself becoming a 10 High regular.

Also the bartendars are really cool. They sever 12oz PBR for $3.75 (I think, I had so many I can only figure it out by how much money I was able to bring home).

They have a big show featuring Atlanta's hottest local bands October 18th. The club went so far out there for these bands that they made a commercial to promote the event and bands. Its called the Rockstar Panty Raid and it features: Steadlur, Program The Dead, The Warm Gunns and Rockets to Ruin.

I am pretty new to Atlanta and think I have found a place I can call home!

• Pros: Live Band Karaoke, Affordable Drinks that get the job done
• Cons: The bar closes at 2am, 3 am would be great

Not your ordinary Karaoke

by gobuehose at Citysearch

I have never seen anything like this. A band that plays songs and lets you be the rockstar! It is completely understandable that there is a cover and that the band accepts tips to let you sing. We're not talking about a $400 karaoke machine here people.....this is 4 musicians who play for about 5 hours.....One of their gutiars probably costs as much as your standard karaoke machine. They also have a video camera that films you, and they will sell you a DVD of your preformance if you want to buy it. That is pretty cool. I e-mailed mine to my family and told them that I quit my job to become a rock star. Check this out as there is simply nothing else like it in the world of karaoke

• Pros: Great fun, great drink pricing
• Cons: maybe not for you if you are clostrophobic

Save Your $8 - Skip Metalsome

by metalguy13 at Citysearch

At first, when you go to metalsome, you'll be amazed at how fun the vibe appears to be. But take time to see what's really going on there, you'll be shocked. The band takes bribes for people to sing, and you have to bribe if you want to sing in the second set. Even better, the four-eyed old gramps bass player will ridicule you or throw you out if you have an issue with that. Gimme a break. When it gets down to it, it?s just a bunch of losers running karoake who somehow think they can treat the crowd like trash -- don't fall for the ads, the karoake singers aren't the imaginary rock stars, it's the band who believes they are! Save your $8 for either live music or a karoake night without the attitude and BS.

• Pros: lots of abuse if you're into that kind of thing
• Cons: $8 for karoake?
