I doubt they can afford a proper nationwide tour. But I bet they’ll add more dates if more shows sell out.

The last time they toured the states it was only possible due to a grant from the Finnish government. Touring is expensive as hell.

Got a ticket to NYC. I've seen him a few times (2x in NYC, then one time in a small club called Wonder Bar in Asbury Park, NJ). Always good!

I have said time and time again, that Michael Monroe is the most consistent and solid rock band touring at the moment. Having seen them a few months ago, I still stand by that statement. The dude is 62 and just broke his ribs after he fell off of some amps. He gives 110% every time. The dude loves being a rock star.

Yeah - $40something to see that show is worth it. I'm also a big fan of the Conte/Yaffa combo.

Disagree completely. That would be Winger, and it's not even close. Consummate professionals at every position.

Easily one of the best gigs you can see right now. I've seen Monroe on various tours since he did Not Fakin' It (88? 89?) and every show has been exceptional. If you can see him, go.

10 shows is tour
When 50% of them are in LA-San Diego-Vegas circle

Why would you get on a plane ever when you can see 50% of the tour with A+ fun? In the spring/summer…Cody Rhodes horrible WWE run will be over then
Jesse The Body Ventura would definitely be at Backyard Bash for Pussycat and Odin

Does he play a decent amount of hanoi rocks songs?

I saw Hanoi support twisted sister back in 2006ish and it was one of the best shows I've seen.

In the couple times I saw him he plays about half, maybe a bit more of his solo stuff (didn't keep track), then a few Hanoi Rocks, Demo23 songs, and a cover or two. So good mix of stuff.
