I’d love to see him bust out the Revenge era wig (maybe modified to some degree) the goatee and leathers. That was his best look.

100% agree and he certainly didn’t need it when he got it. Proof that all the money on the world can’t necessarily buy you good plastic surgery.

Good for him for sounding good in those clips though.

Re: Lou Gramm Spills His Guts

I saw Lou play at the Gadsden Festival on the Lake about 15 years ago and unfortunately he sounded terrible live. I can’t imagine he’s gotten better with age so I’m def looking forward to this. Legacy stars bagging on their old stuff that helped make them famous always seemed strange to me. Billy Jo...

If you look at the cover closely (normally I’d say why would you bother with this one)…but that’s actually the Southern Harmony album cover white-washed with that graphic.

Re: How "at capacity" do venues need to be at to make $$$?

I was wondering how those shows were selling. Nuno got more press than any other guitar player in rock when Rise came out. Where? I just looked up their website - I thought it held 1100 but it’s actually almost 1600. Nuno said in between songs early in the set this was supposedly the smallest crowd...

Re: How "at capacity" do venues need to be at to make $$$?

Last week I saw Extreme and Living Colour play in a really nice larger sized club - it probably held 1100 minimum and I’d say that there was maybe 500 there at best and that’s being generous. I’d assume that both bands have a decent guarantee so I’d also have guessed the promoter took a huge hit. T...

Ryan Cook used to play guitar, but now is the bassist. Ace downsized when Shouse left to tour with Accept as their bassist. Jeremy is on guitar and Coogie on drums. Coogie usually prefers Ace over Stephen Pearcy so Ace must pay better. All the guys sell picks and sticks which adds onto their take e...

Crazy how much love this band gets. 2 big albums. 1 did ok. Are they more of a live/jam band? Or just a big cult following? Similar to Widespread Panic? Not a jam band anymore.
