ROCK HARD'S RANT- by Larry?
Wow - look at this - The Prowler guy from Asia Bugle has got the owner of RocK Hard A Go Go in Bangla to get his knickers in a twist
To be clear you have to read the last two editions of Asia Bugle to understand what is going on.In the first episode the Prowler critised the girls in Rock Hard as boring.
The next issue of the Prowler contained an article by Big Bill who was the best manager they ever had who gave a very balanced account of things.
The owner ,I presme Larry,of the joint has now attacked on own his own web site all the adverse comments about his place.
I have a suggestion: - in the interest of fair play.Any person who in the last one year has attended both venues air their opinion.
Lets see if Dragon does compare to Rock Hard.

OK I'll step up Crusty...........
not really a fan of gogo's as I always get trapped by the "ugly one" when I am just sitting ther nursing a vodka soda minow and having a lok around.......and in general most ae pretty lifeless.......
But at least I can say that I have been in both places recently........earlier this month actually.....
I haven't really seen a change in RockHard for many years.....I often call in for my first drink there each night as it's on the way to MTB and it makes the best vodka soda minow in Patong.....has real fresh lime juice!!!....oh and I also have a friend who works there and she often barfines herself and comes out playing pool and drinking with me.......
In general the gals are pretty tired in there but who wouldn't be strapped to that chrome pole all night......it's not really a gogo IMHO...as NOTHING ever happens and they have had the same music in there for at leat the 7-8 years I have been poking my nose in there......
Dragon is altogether a different kettle of fishies......some good loking gals and plenty of atmosphere......but I always find myself looking at the gals who are dancing and mucking around waiting for their turn to dance rather than the ones actually up on stage......the music is better than RH and the gals are better looking......
Both get the thumbs down from me as I prefer a gogo to have something going on.......RH defo has nothing going on but Dragon has a bit of life to it!!!

Well i was in both places just recently, last week to be precise. Did both of them on the same day. I like to start off at rock hard as its not too busy early plus there's one girl thats great "eye candy". Never barfined a girl in RH, as when i was in there with a mate one of the girls quoted him a price of 3000 baht for LT and 2000 baht for ST. But i probably will barfine the one and ONLY girl IMHO that i think is worth the barfine. Not many good looking chicks in there i must say. A little different to 11 months ago when i could say the chicks in RH could compare to the ones in dragon. At the moment for me, Dragon is much better. As Nel said, more atmosphere, more going on. The girls in RH just stand around or when they're up on stage its like they don't know what their doing up there. I reckon i could do a similar job. Only then RH would have no customers at all
I can break it done very simply. Service in dragon is better, because they have more staff to look after customers. Many times their service staff are very good looking as well. Unlike RH where their service staff generally i can't even look at. Ok maybe i'm being a little harsh but compared to dragon service staff, RH doesn't even come close.
Music wise, i prefer dragon as well, although they do still play some questionable songs from time to time. But still better than RH where it feels like i hear the same song everytime i'm in there.
Pool tables and pool cues are far superior in Dragon, i'm assuming its because dragon is newer than RH but still no excuses. What have i missed.... Oh yes, plus dragon does the foam show which is great to watch. So all in all my verdict is Dragon  and Rock hard  Although if you're not in there for too long Rock hard can be fun as well.

Funny thats what i find myself doing as well when i'm in dragon, i also think i know why we do this. After being in so many go go's it gets kindda old and everything begins to look similar. So when we see the girls messing around with each other before they go on its something new and different to see. Well just my opinion.

I am a RH fan, going there since 1991. Must say the standard of the girls went down a lot in the last year. Now Dragon girls deff. more sexy and beautifull.
Still prefer RH music above Dragon (maybe my age  ). Waitresses are friendlier to me in RH, but that is because they know me. Still for me RH is now for me more a bar than a place to pick up girls.
Crust, I think you made a small mistake. Larry fired Ira (and Big Bill). Ira was there a long time as manager, but worked mostly daytimes the last years, having wife and child. He also built 2 bungalows with seaview overlooking Patong and the sea, and tried to sell them. He was a very good manager i.m.o., but Larry thought he was to expensive (including a cut of the money in all changes Larry made in RH). That is what Larry told me he fired Ira (I went with him to MTB that evening). Personally, I would have liked it if Ira stayed.
Big Bill is different. The last years you nearly never saw Bill anymore in RH. Started with comming every other day, then once a week, then even less. He only played music and drank with the customers. Can't say he did a good job as manager, was more like a PR.

Crappest shag in 15 months in patong- RH. Over priced and vastly underperfoming. Still good for a drop in tho as the music makes up for the lack of interest by the ladies. Dragon i find expensive living here ( B120 a beer but so is Taipan now), but the ladies are more comfortable going in there with you as they all seem to enjoy a more entertaining show. To each his own but I am unlikely to want to pick up in either place ( good job as my balls would be cut off anyway if she found out  )

I spent some time in both places last trip.
Now afterwards when I compare the two places, Dragon had the Stunners and prettiest service-girls, a special thanks to "Mem" an adorable girl with the cutest of smiles!
The dancers in Rockhard did their strut in sexy street wear(coyotee-style)? The Dragon ladies showed more skin in their bikinis, but they also showed more "attitude"!
Rockhard had the better music (being an old rocker).
Dragon is way too loud and car-alarm dance music for my taste.
The air is also fresher and cooler in Rockhard, the girls are more forward and are not afraid to approach you by themselves, seating is also more comfy specially the sofas under the windows.
More athmosphere and things going on around you in Dragon though, with frequent shows to break up the GoGo dancing.

I have tried Rock Hard 3 times, And on every time it was shite and I will never go in there again.. Music was ok but thats about it, The girls are below average and like some other guys said, They look tired and disinterested, And from what I heard to my astonishment was the girls are expensive which is crazy when you compare the girls to a lot of BGs around Patong... Its not an Agogo IMO...
Dragon is a much better place IMO.. Everything is Better.. Music, Girls and the whole atmosphere of the place...

My vote is for Rock Hard....
Eventhough I might admitt that things have changed and not always for the better at RH, Dragon does nothing for me. OK, it might have hard core girls who do a little show and want to go ST only. Not what I am looking for. Seating at Dragon does gets huge minus points, attitude of some (so not all!) staff increases those points.
For me RH has more 'attitude' than D. Everybody his liking though....
As for management. Dragon was a better and more personal place for me with Ott being there every night. As for RH. I know Ira, evnthouigh not very good, and have to say he was the 'office force' who did not do a lot for the punters in the evening. Big Bill was in my opinion never management but more the local joker (saying that in a good way) and PR figure. Liked his style though. Jeff is still there and can be a good host from time to time, as Larry can be. With that say that they are not consistent good hosts.....
Anyway, pop in Dragon so once in a while to see if my opinion is still carrect, as for Rock Hard, where I will never be the spender as before but just a happy returning customer.

I agree 100%, fat chicks dancing lifelessly around a pole who cares about the music.

Well whether he cares or not kinda shows how much he bothers about perceptions, marketing etc..
His net savvy fits with his musical selection.. Dinosaurs become extinct..

girls can be found anywhere...the music is the most important thing and for me, RH is tha bomb...
listening to some of the oldest,greatest tunes ever made (loudly!) whilst drinkin' cold beer and looking @ semi-nude birds dancing after a hard day of diving makes visiting LOS worthwhile...some of you blokes are waaaay too jaded....

You got that right.
Incidentaly -Tim the Baron Bonk editor was just in town and visited Rock Hard and spoke personally to Larry.They know each other from way back.
I believe that any review should be looked at as customer feed back.The owner does not have to react but sometimes an outsiders view may high light something that could be adjusted.

The End of Larry's Rants
Hi, this is Larry, not "Larry's mouthpiece". Just so you you kind readers understand, I took down most of my website becayse I got sick of whining-ass complainers. Rumors abound, but the truth is, I own the whole mother-fck'n place. American Company with 99.999% of the shares in my personal name. I have sincere plans to keep this little shithole, and make it better than it is. I will not be putting comments up again. Wankers don't like me, they can suck some Katoey's ****, not mine. I'm not angry, and I actually appreciate all of the comments my buddy has forwarded to me from PH-NFO. I have no time to read it. What my "web Guy" was surprised about actually, was that by removing 90% of my site and (non) publishing it as static, threw away 2000 hits a day. So? ****ING WHAT? I am the furthest thing from a computer nut, and have NO idea what the hell to do with so-called tarffic. Everyone: Have a nice life. Larry. Love you long time XXXX ;-)
