Six interactive flat screens will stream vintage concert footage and iconic music videos and an interactive iTunes jukebox will blast rock staples from the past five decades. Other signature elements include electric guitars that line the walls, a bar fabricated out of real Marshall amplifier cases and a hostess podium made out of a concert speaker.

LOSING!! Out of the thousands of people in the audience for Chalie Sheen’s first show performance the other night there were more boos then cheers for the troubled Sheen.

Heres a tip, you will be "winning" by saving your money instead of buying a ticket. Clearly it doesn’t pay to see sheen rant live..
