Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach attendees rocked out to Kings of Chaos<\/a>, starring rock-and-roll legends Billy Idol, Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top and Chester Bennington of Linkin Park and Death by Sunrise in front of the Long Beach Performing Arts Center on Saturday evening.<\/p>\n

Kings of Chaos, an international all-star band with a revolving lineup, also had Guns-N-Roses and Velvet Revolver drummer Matt Sorum, Dean DeLeo of Stone Temple Pilots on guitar, Robert DeLeo on bass and Billy Duffy of The Cult on guitar.<\/p>\n

\u201cFast cars, rock-and-roll music and hot chicks!\u201d Idol said in a statement. \u201cWhat could be better than that?\u201d<\/p>\n

Robby Coraciro and his wife came from Vegas as a \u201cspur-of-the-moment decision\u201d to go see the concert. It was worth the drive, especially since he caught Sorum\u2019s drumstick, he told the Post<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI loved every one of those bands…The Cult…ZZ Top,\u201d he said. \u201cWe were blown away. We couldn\u2019t believe how good it was.\u201d<\/p>\n

This was Coraciro\u2019s first experience at the Grand Prix, and he plans on attending next year, he added.<\/p>\n

The set included hit songs from their former groups. Idol started with \u201cWhite Wedding.\u201d Gibbons played \u201cSharp Dressed Man\u201d and covered \u201cFoxy Lady\u201d by Jimi Hendrix. In addition to The Cult and Stone Temple hits, Bennington also covered \u201cWhole Lotta Love\u201d by Led Zeppelin.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
