  1. QUOTE (Prince of Tyrus @ Apr 8 2010, 05:58 PM) Tour dates announced today and scalpers are already selling tickets: More than likely these are the Season Tickets that the resellers own @ particular venue's. So they know they will have those particular ones But soon they will get the rest of the premium seats also........ And leave the real fans to pick from the crappy nose blead seats. Why Scalping (ticket resellers) isn't Illegal is beyond me ! ! ! !
  2. QUOTE (PariahDog @ Apr 8 2010, 05:51 PM)QUOTE (Score Out @ Apr 8 2010, 05:44 PM) There are a lot of large cities and usual stops that aren't being hit in 2010 (Phoenix, Charlotte, Indianapolis, Portland, Vancouver etc) so they'll draw in those places b/c it will be their first show. Argh, I've been hoping they might add a Phoenix date for 2010. I guess I'll be making the trip to CA or NV or maybe even NM. If they don't come to Phoenix Las Vegas Road Trip is in order ( Saturday Aug 14th ) Already RO requested off work for Friday / Sat / Sun @ Both of my Job's

  6. QUOTE (metaldad @ Dec 30 2009, 10:34 AM) Did You Ever Meet Him ??? I am Thinking No So Please Stop Talking Out Your Ass . He is a great guy DLR era VH , excellent ! SH era VH , even better ! GS era VH , to short to tell.... DLR WGP era = WAJ ( what a joke ) But ya got me...... never meet Eddie, But If I did I would ask him why he doesn't have any Sammy Hagar era album art on his web site And no mention of Michael Anthony either for starters....... "Good Guy's" don't disrespect people who helped get you where you are ! I have NEVER seen a groups "official" web site Erase any trace of dominant previous members like Eddie has = Jerk So, yes my opinion is only based on Eddie's own actions

After all, everyone knows Wolfgang has been playing bass for Van Halen since he was in diapers. Yes, and just like that time before their 2007 tour when they posted the VH1 album cover on their website, with Wolfgang photo-shopped in place of Michael Anthony. This is why I refuse to support the current VH in any way Eddie is a JERK ! Period . BTW........... VH (1) is the winner ( one of only a handful of albums I "wore" out & had to replace )

  12. QUOTE (Steevo @ Jul 29 2009, 04:27 PM)I hearby retract every bad jibe I've said about Pat Benatar during the last 20 odd years, I finally get it. Although many still wont and thats cool as well When she went into Jazz during the 90's I was concerned I Lost my favorite little rocker. the album "True Love" from the 90's is good too, just not my type of Rock. But She has reverted back to her roots, Sexy Little Chick Rocker With Whole Lot of Attitude ! ! We saw her 2 nights ago with Blondie, Both these women still have EXCELLENT Voice's I have seen Pat so many time's I have lost count 2 time's before was in Vegas, In the Mandalay Bay Pool ! ! ---My "Random Music Thought" today was the amount of ---Rock groups from the 75' - 85' Era that are still together & Touring ---Some even producing more music.... Who would have ever thought the longevity of these era Rockers would last ?

  14. QUOTE (RUSHHEAD666 @ Jun 19 2009, 02:38 PM)Any Blondie fans on here? I'm A Big Fan Now ! ! I was unsure what to expect from Blondie ( in concert ) Liked a few of her songs, but really only went to see her because she was touing with Pat Benatar Summary from last nights show with Benatar........ "Call Me Invincible" Tour 2009 Pat Benatar & Blondie w/ The Donna's We knew what to expect from Pat Benatar & Neil Gerardo , I have seen PB many many times since 81' & my girl, Jeri & I saw her last 2 times in concert, in the pool at Mandalay Bay in LasVegas & after all these years they put on a great shows. The Donna's canceled due to illness & a solo artist played a couple songs with his guitar..... Benatar Inc, was great, as to be expected, Pat was spot on ! great vocals, great attitude she was flawless & looked great, we were in 9th row dead center. Since they are alternating headliner spot, Pat came on stage 1st & we got short changed by 2 songs, one of them was 1 of my favorite's, "Everybody Lay Down" Blondie was the surprise, 1st she came out wearing a baseball hat & layers of light colored, loose garments with a knee length silk dress & did "Call Me", Didn't seem like she was too into it, a little soft on the vocals, but soon was hitting the mark & she had a stage presence. We looked at each other & both of us said WOW! She then quickly removed the hat to let all her blondeness loose. Next few songs we were unfamiliar with, but didn't matter because the band was tight & sounded perfect. Deborah was HOT! She took a layer of clothing off until she just had the white silk looking dress with a fashion belt. She 64 & just slightly overwieght, but way sexier than you would think. Me & Jeri kept looking at each other in amazement, Blondie was a Hit ! The 2 reviews we read on previous shows made it sound like Blondie was gonna suck, she also was closing the show by playing Michael Jackson's "Don't Stop Till You Get Enough". But after the long version of "Rapture", then "1 way or another" & then "Heart of Glass" which sounded just like the recording & by that point Deborah Harry had us hooked, all she had to do was a little wiggle & the crowd & Me & Jeri would go crazy ! ! At tha point she could have played anything & we would have liked it, Just Very Unexpected Superior Performance.! The MJ song was different, no moon walkin, but sure was fun at that point of the evening.
  15. QUOTE (RUSHHEAD666 @ Jun 21 2009, 01:02 AM)QUOTE (GotRush @ Jun 20 2009, 08:40 PM) I know this is totally off topic but what year did you see ACCEPT??? I belive it was 1984, maybe `83 . . . . Accept opened for Aerosmith & Scorpions, Big outdoor show in Phoenix in the Heat ! Me & my brother went together & had a blast We brought an icechest in ( they were alowed then ) we had Jack Daniels duct taped to the bottom of the cooler The bonus was Accept, figured I would see them again, but never have.
  16. I've seen Pat Benatar 7 times, last 2 times with my girl, Jeri, in Las Vegas in `06 & `07 @ Mandalay Bay. Excellent shows. Next month we have 5th row center seats for Pat Benatar w/special guest Blondie & The Donna's are the first act I know Pat looks great & sings even better still, but unsure what to expect from Deborah. We are very very close, by choice to see Pat. Heart of Glass was an AM hit back when I first started having relations inside of cars, most had AM radios....Never owned a Blondie album, but a couple compulations discs I have, have a couple Blondie songs. Never cared much for Rapture. Never seen Blondie ( or The Donna's ) so I get 2 new acts to add to my list of concerts seen Live !

  17. QUOTE (metaldad @ May 14 2009, 09:07 PM) people fail to remember. ED wanted MIKE out in 1980. he wanted BILLY SHEEHAN. don't be so shocked Interesting indeed, Keeping in that train of thought, then Ed should have called Billy up & say something like this " Hey Billy ! Ed Vanhalen here..... How ya been ? ..... I'm looking to tour again with DD & figured it was your turn to join the band....... Oh, Mike, he's fine, I think he's down mexico way right now, but we don't need to tell him anything.....If ya can't, thats OK, I will just get my 15 year old son to do it......"
  18. Opinions will vary.....but here mine ( I liked BOTH ) 1st VH album I wore out, Saw every tour with Dave, Including one year they play 2 nights in a row.... Great Rock Concerts, Great albums.! Great songs, Except JUMP, what crap is that !! Keyboard crap, video has Ed playing the guitar solo during the KB solo. Get real ! Then I heard about the depature of diamond dave & figured VH was done, Then crazy as it sounded, Sammy was set to replace dave. I got a BAD attitude even before the first track had even been recorded. BUT soon I embraced the new line up. I skiped the 1st VanHagar tour, But finally went to see Sammy w/VH, I like it, even though sammy was having some vocal issues, he told us they would come back to make up for that particular show, 4 months later they did. That show was the BEST VH concert I had ever seen, In fact it's in the top 20 ( out of 1000 ). I Liked All the Van/Hagar stuff I now can't stand EDDIE VANHALEN, he is a JERK ! ! Last thing he did was push Mike out of the band for NO reason ! ED YOU ARE A JERK !
  19. Oh Yes, My fondness for Zep in unwavering Oh Yes, My fondness for RUSH is still expanding If they both ended their careers at the same time Zep would win, But as many have stated before, the fact that Rush has 20+ years on Zep makes this a no brainier . WINS ! ! ! !
  20. Update, Court was today ! Saw the judge, Judge Laura.... Had to plead Guilty, or set a court date for the State to prove there case, incurring more court costs if I loose, ect.... Before pleading guilty I was informed of the penalties, upto 6 months Jail and/or up to 2500.00 fine. Yikes ! I still plead Guilty & Presented my evidence. ( i brought my duplicate plate in with a similar sticker on it ) The Judge looked at it first didn't realize anything was wrong ! then I pointed out the sticker was the problem, she then pulls out the Law Book & finds her way to the Statute & first reads the paragraph to her self then makes a sigh'ing sound & proceeds to read me the statute verbatim gets down to the last few words that state.... "or Altered in any way ". She then say's, looks like this does applys to what you did. Levied a $ 200.00 fine for my infraction. Down stairs a clerk saw my plate & i told her what had happened & she was glad I told her cause she just got some specialty " save the animals " plates & was going to Paint the animal a different color.......criminal.....
  21. QUOTE (thesweetscience @ Jun 10 2008, 07:10 PM) the OP was in the wrong and had the audacity to challenge the ticketing officer. I cant see how anyone would be shocked over the result. I believe this cop was gonna write the citation no matter how I would have handled it. My van has a fair amount of Rush stickers and a large 2112 star, this might have added to his bad attitude. this officer was older ( 55+) and had his game face on before I said a word. As I explained earlier after 4 years & 4 direct encounters with the Law over this, none of them even suggested I should remove it. that's all I mentioned to the cop who then informed me its criminal and he could take me to Jail over this. I have no problem with admitting I was wrong and told the officer that too, to no Avail. I pretty much knew that it was illegal, just didn't realize it was a " Criminal " offense. Pushing my luck Is my style. I will pay the Price.... BTW, only the Reno 911 cops would be unable to trace that plate to me.
  22. QUOTE (New World Kid @ Jun 9 2008, 06:37 PM) Personally, if that is how the ticket is worded, I'd take it to court and claim that you didn't know adding a "?" (a non-character for license plates) was altering the plate, but rather personalizing it. I contacted the courts & I have to appear on the date listed due to the fact it's a " Criminal " ticket. They asked me directly what happened & then asked me if it was corrected, and seemed to think all i will get is a very reduced fine or possibly no fine. If I want to plead not guilty & summons the cop & set a date in front of a judge I can do that too..... The comments here run the gamut on this subject. I have previously (2006) got a Red light camera ticket with that sticker & they had No problem finding me. I also have been pulled over before FOR having the sticker on the plate, those two phoenix police officers caught me as I was just blocks from my house & followed me there, They at first tried to Enter the plate with the ? mark....laughing , we talked about the sticker & Rush & they NEVER told me to remove it or that it was a Criminal act ! I had couple other law enforcement officers see it & never said anything, and countless times had Police right behind me & they did nothing ! Very Discretional I guess. I have learned my lesson, just hope it's no too expensive.
  23. Drivin into work last friday, a police car pulls up behind me & light's me up. I pull over & He come up & asked for license/ins/reg & ask's me if I was the one who altered my license plate. ( I have a personalized plate of GOTRUSH, but i attached a Question mark ? at the end with a sticker, so i kinda looks like GOTRUSH? ) well i say sure, the older officer informs me this is a "Criminal Offence" and i explain its been there for 4 years & i have had various encounters with law enforsment & nobody ever told me i should remove it ! ( my son is a county Sheriff Officer ) Then he tells me i'm lucky he doesn't take me to JAIL ! jezzz.... the more i spoke the madder he got. He ended up writing a Criminal Ticket for " Knownly Displaying Altered Plates" with a court date on monday june 16th. I haven't yet checked into the penalty/fine for this. they took pictures & removed the sticker like it was the crime of the century. there was 3 cars & 5 cops at one point ! what a Joke ! oh yea this happened here in Phoenix @ about 8am. I'm not sure if I want to fight this ticket, or if that's gonna piss the Judge off worst, plus I would have to take time off work & deal with the stupid court process, Thinkin on asking for a postponment & then set another court date & maybe the officer won't make it to court.......
  24. Wow, what a shame, R. I. P.
  25. Randy Johnson, ( acclaimed Baseball Pitcher ) He once was on the local radio morning program & was asked what groups he like's, he mentioned Rush & that he knew Geddy, the DJ's doubted this & right then Randy called Geddy & asked him how the new Record was going ! ! ( Vapor Trails) They talked for about 5 minutes on the Air, was Very Cool.
