July 22nd, 2014 at Country Club Saloon in Las Vegas, NV. —<\/h3>\n

\"GEDSCOne of the busiest bands in music, Saving Abel, played a special show in Las Vegas at the Las Vegas Country Saloon on Tuesday July 22. Hardrock Haven was the first to introduce to the readers new singer Scotty Austin. The singer recently commented to us in Vegas, \u201dThe band has played in 46 States since January. Music is not about perfection; it is about the emotion.\u201d Scotty was right on the money. The energy of the band was through the roof at his show on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

This was my first time seeing the band and I was impressed by the nonstop musical onslaught brought on by the band. Opening with \u201cNew Tattoo\u201d the band proceeded to destroy the Las Vegas Country Saloon. Saving Abel has a sound that is a cross between Lynyrd Skynyrd to Alice In Chains. The band is comprised of Southern boys that know how to rock. <\/p>\n

Highlights of the set included \u201cContagious\u201d and \u201cMystify.\u201d Saving Abel also has a new song called \u201cLove Like Suicide.\u201d Scotty kills it on vocals. He is definitely breathing new life into the band. The guitar riffs of Jason Null were amazing. Jason who was sporting his Motley Crue shirt tells Hardrock Haven that the new album will sound even better than \u201cLove Like Suicide.\u201d I can\u2019t wait to hear more new material. Jason is a dynamic guitarist and plays full of emotion. Bassist Eric Taylor is a powerhouse on bass. <\/p>\n

The show and ended with the epic song \u201cAddicted.\u201d This song is so infectious! Everyone in the audience sang along. Scotty Austin tells us,\u201d We are trying to build up our fan base.\u201d The band should have no problem garnering new fans worldwide. They are definitely on the right track with new addition Scotty Austin. Along with the sizzling guitar riffs of Jason Null, Saving Abel is back on track! Be sure to check them out on tour this Summer!<\/p>\n
