I actually met Don after his set (while Baz was screaming from the stage). He hung out for quite some time, taking pictures and signing things. Sean McNabb was a cool guy, too, and reminisced about his path in rock starting with Quiet Riot.

Juan from RATT may be one of the nicest guys I have recently met. Warren's always been cool, and Stephen is well, Stephen. Carlos said he's going to be in RATT until he's done. He also told me that Frankie screwed him too many times and he has no desire to work with him again. Back to Juan...signing a zillion autographs, and asking groups if they wanted solo pics. Such a genuinely nice guy.

Plane carrying Ratt and Dokken makes emergency landing

MOLINE, Ill. A private jet carrying rock bands Ratt and Dokken had to make an emergency landing in northwestern Illinois after smoke was detected in the cabin Saturday afternoon.

Chuck Brennan, a friend of the bands who chartered the flight, told The Associated Press that the plane took off from the Moline airport but pilots had to turn it around when smoke appeared in the front of the plane at about 7,000 feet.

Brennan said the pilots donned oxygen masks and landed the Challenger 601 with no incident. There were no injuries reported by the pilot or the 13 passengers.

"The cabin didn't fill with smoke," said Brennan, the owner of short-term lender Dollar Loan Center.

Brennan, a former promoter who opened the Brennan Rock & Roll Academy in his hometown of Sioux Falls, S.D., said he had chartered the plane out of Santa Ana, Calif., for a four-city tour.

Ratt and Dokken, both big names from the 1980s hair metal scene, played in Moline on Friday night with Lita Ford and Sebastian Bach. They were heading to the Chicago suburb of Wauconda for an outdoor show Saturday with Ford, Bach and Warrant.

Brennan said the two bands were taking SUVs to the Wauconda venue, which is about 170 miles from Moline, and were expected to make it to the show in time.
