Re: REO Speedwagon to End Touring as of 2025

Yeah I fully expect to see KC tour under some other name... Will be interesting to see if anyone in the current band joins. Also wonder how the fans will respond-- definitely seems to be some bitterness out there online. I've been a fan since the early 80s and appreciated the later years lineup but ...

REO Speedwagon to End Touring as of 2025

They were doing quite well with their Amato / Hitt post-hey day lineup through the 90s, 00s, 10s and early 20s.... but Neil Doughty retired a year ago, then Bruce Hall had some back surgery... and there have been comments on social media that Bruce felt he was able and wanted to come back for the Su...

Re: What’s Billy Sheehan deal - Final Mr. Big show

They played clubs, not big venues, but the US shows for this Goodbye tour were mostly packed--- with plenty of sell-outs in Europe, Japan, etc... along the way too. I'm a big fan and I couldn't even believe the crowds they were drawing in 2024. The empty seats in the Romania crowd pic were definitel...

Buying Resale Tickets-- Advice?

Planning to buy some concert resale tickets--- What's the best site? SeatGeek, VividSeats, StubHub, Ticketmaster (or are they all the same)? Also--- I noticed that you mostly only get to see the section and row... NO exact seat numbers. Why don't they tell you which seats are actually for sale?

Re: Mr. Big Using Backup Lead Vocalist

Basically, what I'm gathering is that the new drummer and backup singer should start a band! And probably will! This is sad because Eric is a great singer. This is a MEGA tour. I guess it was too big to postpone. Are Paul Gilbert and Billy Sheehan having fun at least? Yeah, it's a crazy big tour fo...

Mr. Big Using Backup Lead Vocalist

So Mr. Big's in Europe in the middle of a really successful world-wide farewell tour (quite a few sold out shows, etc.) and Eric Martin is having vocal issues... So they called in Michele Luppi (most recently of Whitesnake but who actually did Mr. Big tribute vocals in the 90s) to sing along on stag...

Re: Legacy acts. No new material vs. Mediocre material (Poll)

One or two strong new songs to freshen up the live set (and maybe release them on streaming services, etc. as singles) would be great. No one really wants to hear a whole album full of generic re-treads, although maybe recording and coming up with something new regardless of the freshness or quality...

Re: At this point would you rather see Vince Solo or Motley Crue?

While I realize the majority of us would rather watch an anal bleaching marathon than either of these choices, please vote which one you would do if properly blackmailed. Where would that marathon be held? Rainbow Anniversary party, with Bulletboys playing unplugged reggae versions of their hits in...
