I realize the answer is $$$ but I will ask anyway

Tuff doesn't seem to play LA very often - any particular reason?
Too much work or cost to fly guys in for a one-off at the Whisky? Been there, done that? Will we get another west coast show?

A decent song - though not quite what I was expecting. Agreed that the solo was somewhat underwhelming

As an aside - why the hate for Bunton? He is a decent enough singer - I liked the Adler disc and his earlier bands were enjoyable. He was cool when I met him.

1. Cocked and Loaded
2. S/T debut
3. Vicious Circle

I wish they would play at least one date out west - for all the effort they put in with the new album and prepping for the shows they could do a Vegas/LA weekend. I want to see them, but not Chicago in November want Maybe they can play the rub and tug capital of California - Walnut Creek. I'll offer...

While watching the video (good song BTW) I found this video for What I Like About You I didn't even know existed...

Hagar era sucks except for like a dozen songs. You could make one great album out of four. And even then it wouldn’t be as good as vh1, 1984, vh2 or Fair Warning. To be fair, the Roth era was all about guitars, swagger, and party attitude - which made it great - but the songs themselves without tha...

The Tavern closed not too long after the 'rescue' - maybe 5 years ago?

Saw them headline an outdoor festival in the Midwest earlier this year. The guitar sound was massive! Robin sounded great but his voice started faltering about 2/3 of the way through- wonder if that has anything to do with it?

Other than - you know - enough fan support to headline a tour

He puts out so much mediocre stuff I more or less stopped paying attention, but that song is really good! Wish it was Oni or even Robert singing, though. Or maybe a different production/effect on the vocals might help...

Not as great as Thailand, but still fun to be had. Make a stop in Angeles City - don't spend all your time in Manila. Subic Bay if you like it cheap and sleazy

At its core - the usual. More money, better quality of life, and greater job security. Factors that complicate this round are streaming and generative AI. There are a million shows created now and people don't want to pay for content, so most individual shows are produced on a shoestring budget and ...

Speaking of the Whisky this weekend, has anyone seen the Tommy Paris band live? I liked Bite Down Hard and he is supposed to include Britney Fox songs in the set, but the samples from the new album don't do anything for me. Trying to decide whether to bother

Had to be in Ohio and scored seats up front last minute that MGM released when the VIP seats didn't sell. Right as Skid Row was to start, these two Blondes take the seats next to us. The one closest was way too hot to be at a Skid Row show in Norhteast Ohio in 2023 - while sportinng her Hermes bag a...

Got a chance to talk to Jacob Bunton a little bit about the Mick Mars solo album, so that was cool. He is hoping to be able to play it live once it comes out

Dangerous Toys sounded good and were full of energy, and the crowd was into it

DJ Ashba is here - the party of the century!

Saw the Adler band a few weeks ago and they were great. But of course, the AFD material helps. If that singer still has a voice in a few years it will be a miracle Of course, youth helps. Warrant followed and looked like a bunch of 60 year olds playing a fly in date. I have never seen a lead singer ...

The gray hair in front of me with the cane, blazer, and full comb over was 'headbanging' to Cowboys from Hell - odd crowd

Haven't seen proper mosh pits in years. Pantera really brought it

Made Wolfie seem extra lackluster (although they sounded pretty good)

People sitting up to the last row, but maybe 15% in seats and ready for Wolfie

Anyone get the yellow and black Metallica shirt with racing stripes that looks like a vintage Stryper shirt?? Odd choice

Section 400 best view

Five Finger Desth Punch Mars would be too close

Unfortunately I'm not far behind. I did the old guy package and got club level seats at SoFi and balcony for Dangerous Toys. If I leave my contacts out the band and the girls look just like 1989

Song is OK. Lots of effects on Scott's voice, though - almost doesn't sound like him. Is his voice shot?

Any chance they are reworking these old demos because there are old vocal tracks they can enhance with modern tech to cover for the fact that Axl's voice isn't what it used to be?

You going to Pantera night at SoFi next week, and if so are you going early enough to catch Wolfie?
