Metal Sludge Gossip Board

Only tour, not fly ins I think will hit amphitheaters it looks like are Scorpions as they have time to do a us leg as part of the anniversary world tour. I don't know if Motley are, doesn't seem like it, Def Lep look to be doing what Motley was doing last summer with a few big shows and casinos and fairs. GNR overseas. Bret a few "parti gras 3.0" I guess have to wait 2026 for poison. Any good packages? With all the casinos kind of killed the package tours that were so fun like "rock never stops." La Guns when i opened for them a few times 20 years ago just toured 500 seat clubs, now a lot of the dates are casino or fair gigs so good for them, but these gigs are not as fun as clubs i don't find. I guess it's all fly-ins for most of all these bands, I don't blame the bands. Cool la guns will still do a full tour like faster does every year, but these bands obviously need the money from touring but good they're out there.

Maybe Skid Row will find a new singer and have the tour of the summer.

Rock Never Stops ya need to adjust to the times - i adjusted in 1997(picked the correct place )

Not going to Texas to see Flickerstick? Their a band that plays new songs too.

Ghost. Already got my tickets.

Flicker-Trick? How many scabs in the “band” now
Not even the original members what to go to Texas

Bulletboys even laugh at them

Is a Scorpions tour confirmed for the summer?

Scorpions are not confirmed, just what I think. Looking at their tour dates they play for months outside of the US, the last date is 7/24. I would think they'll do US tour.

what about the Bert Miracles three singers tour with Mr Meal and SEP?

They want fill outdoor venues-sell parking- sell beer
They need to start Pop Stars Never Stops tours
Vanilla Ice/Paula Abdul/ICP/Rebecca Black

isn't that a one-two off? Plus I thought Bert was taking most of 2025 off to rest/recover health issues.
According to his musical director (Pete Evick) that was the case.

Summer 2025 would be perfect time for anniversary of
Nelson/House Of Lords tour
^ the real Parti Gras

The Nelson Brothers used to do something like Parti Gras actually. It was called Scrap Metal. It was them, Mark Slaughter, Kelly from Night Ranger and a ton of guest singers. I saw them a few times at Mohegan Sun. Jeff Scott Soto, Joe Lynn Turner, Eric Martin, CJ Snare, Jani Lane, Jim Jamison…. Christ, those last 3 are no longer with us.

But still…. I think a tour like that could work.

I don’t think Scrap Metal came to LA
Bret stole Nelson idea- sounds correct

Nelson should be the twins and two Trixter guys
Then we get Nelson- Trixter- House Of Lords music
Eddie Vedders kids deserve a good tour for once

Saw Scrap Metal yearly for about 5 times at our festival (Rocktember) in MN.
Different lineup every year, was a lot of fun. Got some great guests that wouldnt ordinarily see (Soto, Whitford, Cars guitarist Elliot Easton, Pat Travers as well as normal 80s guys)
Always surprised they were a normal add on at big festivals and/or Cruises
