Also on their way to board ShipRocked are WBWR/Columbus, OH, listener Lisa Berger and her husband, Phil. Lisa won part 1 of our contest earlier this year.

Enjoy your deluxe cabins, ocean views and 24 hour partying all the way to Jamaica (with a couple of stops along the way!) and feel free to submit photos of your onboard heavy metal high jinks!

Here’s a look at Dennis’ winning entry:

“I am a hardworking blue collar metalhead from the ‘80s. I currently work as a police officer, but beneath the clean pressed uniform, shiny gun belt and short cropped hair is a leather pant wearing, teased hair maniac that has to repress the feelings to jam an iPod down the throat of some yuppie drinking a Starbucks listening to the latest Maroon 5 album. Instead of drinking free coffee and eating donuts I should be pounding Jack Daniels and trashing a hotel room!

I’ve spent the past three months working nights — “Walk(ing) In The Shadows” – and I need five days of Caribbean sunshine. I’m a 39 year old “Modern Day Cowboy” fighting against the evils of country music and easy listening adult contemporary radio stations. The “Revolution’s Calling” and I want to be on a cruise instead of standing on the thin blue line between total chaos and order.

So, for five days let me fight the man instead of being the man. I know that these contests are “Ez Come, Ez Go,” but I would prefer to go. So, do the right thing and look into the “Eyes Of A Stranger” and tell him that he’ll be listening to Operation Mindcrime instead of fighting actual crime.”

Congrats to both winners and their spouses – Dennis + Ann and Lisa + Phil – have a great time and happy headbanging on the ShipRocked cruise!

Queensryche (L-R): Scott Rockenfield, Eddie Jackson, new guitarist Parker Lundgren, Geoff Tate, Michael Wilton, and new keyboardist/vocalist Jason Ames

Lisa and hubby will be taking a VIP cruise to the islands and headbanging en route to live concerts from Queensryche, Skid Row, Tesla, Broken Teeth, Endeverafter, Lynam, Stereoside, StoneRider and more! They’ll be flying to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, checking onto their luxury liner and setting sale in a deluxe cabin with an ocean view and 24 hour partying all the way to Jamaica and Grand Cayman! You can check out Lisa’s winning entry, below!

Queensryche heard they were coming and have already rolled out the red carpet. The HOH caught up with them just this week at their show in Stamford, CT (where they ROCKED the new American Soldier CD) and they sent their best!

Winning Entry from WBWR/Columbus, OH listener Lisa Berger:

“When my husband and I first met, our first common interest was rock-n-roll. We’d talked for hours about our favorite bands and our first gifts to each other were concert tickets to various heavy metal bands, including Queensryche. Since then, we got married and have 3 lovely children but not a moment to spare to spend together other than our Sat. night ritual of listening to House of Hair and having a beer or two while the kids watch a movie. I would like to get shiprocked with my husband and go down memory lane. We’ve seen Tesla and Queensryche in the past years but are way over due to see them again. Actually the last time we saw Queensryche was in Columbus, OH at least 7 years ago and the biggest bummer was that Geoff Tate had a sore throat and only sang 3 songs then had to cancel the rest of the show. We totally understand his dilemma but we were really looking forward to the show. Since our kids have been born (our oldest is almost ten years old), we had “gotten away” from them once when my husband had his 20th year high school reunion this summer for one overnight. (Actually we had two other overnights if you count when we had our second and third child at the hospital which I do not count!) 

Sincerely,
Lisa Berger
