Rob Hussey And Cyanide Drop A Hard‑Rock Firestorm With Their New Rock Anthem And Music Vid "Get Up And Dance" May 15th Las Vegas

Rob Hussey and Cyanide Just Dropped a Vegas‑Level Detonation!

“Get Up and Dance” has arrived!

Las Vegas didn’t just get a new rock anthem; it got a warning shot, fired straight from the amps of Rob Hussey, all-around musician, rockstar, writer, producer, extreme video creator, and frontman who refuses to play small. His band Cyanide just unleashed their newest hit, “Get Up and Dance,” and both the song and the music video are already blowing up the local scene and beyond!

Last night at 9 PM Pacific, the video hit YouTube like a Molotov cocktail tossed into the neon skyline, and this morning the track is already ripping through Spotify playlists. I just watched the video, cranked the song, and let me tell you, "Get Up And Dance" is Vegas HoTT in every sense of the phrase!

“Get Up and Dance” is pure arena‑rock adrenaline — a high‑energy blast of electrifying guitars, massive hooks, and that unapologetic, fists‑in‑the‑air swagger that Cyanide does best!

Hussey’s signature style is all over it: sharp writing, tight production, and a performance that hits like a shot of jet fuel.

This isn’t background music. This is get‑up‑off‑your‑ass rock, the kind that grabs you by the collar and drags you into the party!

The video? Absolute Chaos!

Fire. Flashing lights. Wild crowd energy. Over‑the‑top visuals. It’s a tribute to the golden era of hard rock, but with that modern, gritty, Vegas‑born edge that Cyanide has perfected. Rob Hussey’s extreme‑video brain is on full display, every frame is loud, explosive, and dripping with attitude.

This is the kind of video that reminds the world: Real hard rock isn’t dead. It’s alive, loud, and living in Las Vegas!

The boys in the band delivered something special here. “Get Up and Dance” isn’t just a song — it’s a statement. A celebration. A middle‑finger salute to anyone who thinks rock has gone quiet.

And to Rob Hussey — the multi‑talent machine behind so much of this madness, thank you for keeping the Vegas music scene not just alive, but dangerously vibrant.

Cyanide isn’t just representing Sin City. They’re exporting their brand of hard rock chaos to the world!

{My Take}

Cyanide’s “Get Up and Dance” isn’t just another local release; it’s a full‑throttle reminder that Las Vegas still breeds the loudest, boldest, most unapologetic rock on planet Earth! 

Rob Hussey and his band delivered a track and video that hit like a neon‑lit adrenaline rush, proving once again that real rock ’n’ roll is alive, loud, and thriving in Sin City LV Nevada!

The Truth About Talent Hard Work And The People Who Throw Stones

 

{Inside GE}

In my 58 years as a ghostwriter journalist, I’ve had the privilege of meeting world‑class athletes, ridiculously talented musicians, and entertainers who light up TV and the movie screens. Every time I sit down with one of these gifted individuals to talk and interview them, I ask them the very same question:

“How did you get so darn good at what you do?”

You’d think their answers would vary. They don’t. Almost every one of them says some version of this:

They worked their butt off. They treat people kindly. They believe in themselves. And they keep faith in the man upstairs

That’s it. No magic. No shortcuts. No secret doors. Kind of sounds like me, and many of my friends!

So why do people hate on them? Why the negative comments, the cheap shots, and those questionable off-the-wall “opinions”?

Because it’s easier to criticize someone in the spotlight than to admit how much hard work it takes to get to where they're at!

But here’s what I’ve learned after decades of being around these exceptional people:

They’re just people — like you, like me — who chose a different profession and paid the price to excel in it.

And when I get to hang around them, something powerful happens to me: They make me better. A better writer. A better observer. A better human being.

Isn’t that the whole point of life? To grow. To love. To sharpen your gifts. To walk with confidence. To know your creator is 100% behind you.

My hat’s off to every athlete, musician, and entertainer who fought their way to the top. Believe me — they’ve earned every inch of that climb!

Hard work and no excuses made them who they are today. 

 And for that, I respect them deeply!

I know some people will probably disagree with what I've said. 

It's ok to disagree about things.  It's another choice that we all have the right to!

{My Take}

"At the end of the day, greatness isn’t an accident — it’s earned, paid for, and lived every single day. My respect goes out to every athlete, musician, and entertainer who climbed that mountain the hard way. You’ve shown the world what dedication really looks like."

The Softer Side Of Sin City: Street Performers Adjust To Vegas Noise Laws

 Las Vegas might be the city of neon, nightlife, and nonstop noise, but even in Sin City, there’s a limit to how loud you can crank up the volume!

 In recent months, more street performers along the Strip and Fremont Street have been dialing back their volume—not because they’re losing energy, but because Metro and city code enforcement have been reminding everyone that Vegas actually does have noise laws on the books.

Street performers are part of the Vegas experience. From guitar slingers and bucket drummers to full-on DJ rigs, they bring color and character to the sidewalks. But as crowds grow and competition increases, volume wars have become a real issue. Performers blast their music to stand out, and suddenly the sidewalk sounds like a festival without a sound engineer.

That’s where the city steps in.

Most locals don’t realize it, but Clark County and the City of Las Vegas both enforce noise ordinances that cap amplified sound in public spaces. On Fremont Street, performers must stay inside designated performance circles and keep their volume at a level that doesn’t bleed into nearby circles or disrupt businesses. On the Strip, Metro officers can issue warnings—or citations—if amps are too loud or causing pedestrian congestion.

The goal isn’t to kill the vibe. It’s to keep the sidewalks safe, walkable, and enjoyable for everyone.

Most performers know that if the city gets enough complaints, the next step is tighter restrictions. Turning down the volume is a way to protect their freedom to perform. Many are switching to battery-powered amps with built‑in limiters, using directional speakers, or adjusting their sets to rely more on vocals and acoustic elements.

In a city built on spectacle, it’s a rare moment when the performers themselves choose sustainability over chaos.

Las Vegas will always be loud—just not too loud. Street performers are still out there hustling, entertaining, and adding flavor to the Strip and on Fremont Street. They’re just doing it with a little more awareness and a little less wattage.

{My Take}

Las Vegas will always pulse with music, movement, and that unmistakable Strip energy—but even the city that never sleeps knows when to ease off the throttle. As street performers turn down their amps and work within the noise laws, they’re proving that the show doesn’t have to be deafening to be unforgettable. In a town built on spectacle, sometimes the smartest move is simply knowing when to let the performance breathe!

Mob vs Corporate vs Today: Who's Kept The City’s Heartbeat Stronger?

 Onward & upward!  Bigger is better!

Las Vegas has lived two very different lifetimes, and depending on who you ask, the city’s heartbeat was louder in one of them. 

The Mob years and the corporate years each shaped Las Vegas in ways that still echo across the Strip, Fremont Street, and every local’s bar with a neon sign buzzing over the door.

From the 1940s through the late 1970s, Vegas was a frontier town powered by charisma, danger, and handshake deals. The Mob years weren’t polished — they were electric. Casinos were smaller but more personal. Pit bosses knew your name. Showrooms were intimate. Money moved fast, and so did the stories.

Vegas felt alive because it was unpredictable. A lounge singer could become a legend overnight. A gambler could walk in as a nobody and walk out a myth. The city ran on personality, not spreadsheets.

This was the Vegas of Sinatra, the Sands, the Stardust, and the kind of nightlife that felt like it could only exist in one place on Earth.

When the corporations took over in the 1980s and 1990s, Vegas didn’t lose its soul — it rebuilt it. The Mob gave the city swagger, but corporations gave it scale.

The Corporate Era brought:

• Mega‑resorts like Mirage, Bellagio, and Mandalay Bay

• Massive entertainment budgets that turned Vegas into a global stage

• Family tourism, conventions, and international travel

• Safety, regulation, and stability allowed the city to explode in size

Vegas became a polished machine — brighter, bigger, cleaner, and more profitable than ever. The unpredictability faded, but the spectacle grew. What the Mob built with grit, corporations amplified with billions.

Then there's today!

Today’s Las Vegas is a different kind of beast — louder, richer, and more corporate than ever, but also more volatile. The Strip is chasing bigger profits while locals feel the squeeze from rising prices, shrinking comps, high dollar parking fees, and a hospitality culture that’s traded generosity for revenue optimization. Some call it greed. Others say it’s simply the modern economy doing what it does: tightening margins, maximizing data, and monetizing every inch of the experience. 

What’s undeniable is that Vegas is in a tug‑of‑war between its free‑wheeling past and its algorithm‑driven present, trying to stay “alive” in a world where nostalgia and capitalism collide every night under the neon lights!

So, When Was Vegas More Alive?

It's your call!

The truth is this: The Mob made Vegas iconic. The corporations made Vegas all about money!

{My Take}

In the end, Las Vegas has never stopped reinventing itself — it just keeps changing the rules of the game. Whether you miss the grit of the Mob years or prefer the polished power of the corporate era, the city’s pulse is still beating, still shifting, still chasing the next big moment. Vegas isn’t more alive then or now — it’s alive in whatever era you’re standing in, as long as you’re willing to feel the electricity!
