Ethan Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 how come eddie didnt wear his red and white striped knee-highs with those white knickers?? i thought this tour would be legit!!!
clmazza Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 Totally killer! Thanks for sharing.... Can't wait to see them!~
jisham Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 No joke...I was only able to get a nosebleed ticket for the DC show. No doubt - I was pretty much shut out with Ticketmonster when they went on sale a couple of Fridays ago. We have a reserved box at Verizon Ctr though (corporate), so we're hoping to snake that. That'd be cool, no doubt. I was able to get though with Ticketmaster when they went on sale, but I'll be damed if I was going to pay $150 or so for a ticket that wasn't even on the floor. I decided to just not go, but a bud of mine called to say he had an extra nosebleed ticket for $80 or whatever so I took it. I hope I don't regret it... I was pissed at the Van Hagar reunion show I saw at Verizon a few years back....Eddie was WAY out of it at that point.
sirDaniel Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 where's their friggin' hair? they look like accountants
Guest Meshuggah Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 They ARE accountants. Garcia was the last one able to pull off accountancy AND a rawk fashion sensibilty.

For $100+ and the cost of parking, getting off work early, etc. there better be a seat in the first ten rows. It is always a gamble. You get three hours of live music with no control over who may be standing in front of you. A guy cannot help being 6'4" or 5'8", but missing a view of concert because you are standing behind a row of basketball players sucks. Sitting in a seat so far away that you have to watch video screens is no way to see a show, either. I have been in the nosebleed seats with different levels of satisfaction over the view of the show. If I can see facial expressions it is OK. I saw the Rolling Stones in a football stadium and could only tell they were walking around.

RnR and nosebleeds go hand in hand. Those prices are ELDERLY peoples homes friendly.
cmatthes Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 More CORPORATE friendly.Ain't THAT Rock n' Roll!?!!

MCChris Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 I saw Tesla last night at the House of Blues for $39, which included the second CD of their "Real to Reel" release (which is excellent IMO) and did not include TM convenience fees to the tune of $10 per ticket (I purchased the tickets at the box office). Highly enjoyable, and I was molested by a thirty-something hair metal babe (yes, a female) on my way to get a beer. Good times!I may be done going to arena shows. An exception might be AC/DC, who probably have one big tour left in them. But they're in the midst of their longest period of inactivity ever. If and when they do hit the road, who knows if they'll be able to summon up the energy they're known for.
DavidE Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 I just got the word that I'm in for the office box. Hanging with collegues, clients and potential clients to see VH in Cleveland at no cost to me other than time and other than the long drive I'll have from Cincinnati to get there since I have a hearing down there in the morning. Ugh.

If and when they do hit the road, who knows if they'll be able to summon up the energy they're known for.I might actually catch those guys if they ever toured again. One band I love that I've never seen. Of course, I'm not much of a fan of anything after 1980 or so, but Angus and Malcolm? I named my dog after one of the Young Bros. (my wife wouldn't let me name my son after either).

That would be a bitchin' pic, me, my boy and Malcom.I've said it before, the Van Halen brothers are douchebags and I'm not givin' them my money. I saw them in 1984, no need to fuck up that good memory.
DavidE Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 I'm glad to see VH, but I'm even happier that it's not my money. ;-)Same with the Genesis concert in Cleveland coming up this month.I never did get to see AC/DC and I'd probably pony up $100 a ticket to take my son.

I saw them in 1984, no need to fuck up that good memory. if we all didn't go to a show because someone on stage was a douchebag...we'd all be staying home a lot more than we are.
salem Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 It's kind of touching that Eddie is so close with his son. Do you think he taught him how to play guitar?

frank_c Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 supposedly that's Fender's version of the Wolfgang.
Taylor Player Posted September 14, 2007 Author Posted September 14, 2007 That's what I've heard. But then again, there's always THIS beast that was spyed at the Line6 HQ last year sporting Ed's patented headstock: Lots of rumors, but no one knows for sure what this thing is, especially that black insert?
elduave Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 You put your weed in there.Hindu Kush, I believe, is harvesting.
frank_c Posted September 15, 2007 Posted September 15, 2007 it's a bottle opener for those king-size bottles of Smoking Loon.
