Re: WASP first album tour
How many of the 2700 seats at The Orpheum Theater/Boston will this sell? 700, maybe? He just came through Boston & New Hampshire a year ago.

Re: New interview with Priest singer Mercury
Priest sucks. I tried to give them a chance but mostly everything about them sucks. The music, the lyrics, the vocals, the video etc. Because of this board, I too gave Priest a chance. I'm not going to go as far as saying "mostly everything about them sucks", but I will say it's clear tha...

Re: Queensryche - Gonna Get Close To You (1986)
There was only one single released, correct? That's strange. The album had many great songs. Walk in the Shadows should have been the single. Gonna Get Close to You is a great song. And it's a cover too. I always wonder if bands were pissed when the first single wasn't their own written song. Lisa ...

Re: How many CD’s do you still own?
I went through them all & whatever wasn't worth 5$ on discogs, I donated. That left me with a couple hundred. I still listen to them in the car & at home via a cd walkman hooked to my receiver. I have a turntable & a cassette deck, as well.

Re: I like XTC better than Jellyfish ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I just saw EXTC live, so great. It's original drummer Terry Chambers, along with 2 scabs, doing XTC songs. Obviously I'd rather see the originals, but said band does have Andy Partridge's blessing.

Re: How much do touring musicians get paid?
I think Jon has the band on salary and they come play when needed. The newest guy Everett may not be. Tico and Dave probably still get a cut of the merch money. That's BS. Tico and Dave have to be partners. Hugh probably is too. Their old contract in the 80s said Tico and Dave have .5 percent or 1 ...

If you believe what he wrote in his book, Rob was all bottom, a horny mofo, lusted after masculine men & only had intercourse with 2 women in his life. He never once eludes to himself being the dominant one in any relationship, be it longer term or one night stand, which makes me doubt the Jani ...

Re: How does Rick Nielson rate as a guitar player.
now in his later years he puts very little effort into playing. At least on stage. He has said in interviews they don't rehearse. Which is apparent. He is super sloppy, hits the wrong notes, stops playing at times to mug for the audience. He is more of a showman than a guitar player. I would rate h...

Rolling Stones ticket sales have pretty much stalled out completely. So many fans from the fan communities have died the past few years. They have finally outlived their fan base.

Re: How does Rick Nielson rate as a guitar player.
Standard guitarist, excellent songwriter. Does he still use a bunch of silly guitars live? Like he had the 5 neck one, the double neck that was an image of himself, the checkerboard explorer etc.

Those Fantasy Camp things usually don't appeal to me but man, you get to play YIL with Warren D'Martini?! How much do I have to pay & how long do I have to deal with the other "campers" until the jam? I'm assuming the "jam with the talent" is the last thing you do.
