Nothing planned right now. I am still waiting for Eric Johnson or Steve Vai to get to my area. Hopefully it will be sometime in my lifetime. It amazes me that they don't even come to the Tri-State area....EVER! Why?!
Posted by saturnchick (Member # 7524) on :
The only concert that I have tickets to right now is the Bamboozle Festival, at which No Doubt is headlining.
Hoping for a bunch more towards the summer, like Bon Jovi, Elton John/Billy Joel, Poison, and Kaiser Chiefs.

So I went to see Keane a few nights ago, and I have to say they are amazing live. Pop rock at it's very best.
The energy and sheer rapport they have with the audience is amazing.
The 02 was full to capacity (23,000) with people from all over the world. I lost count of all the different flags waving about, and the different accents/dialects I heard.
It was my first time at the 02 and it's a truly fantastic arena -- acoustically as well as aesthetically.
The set list was as follows:
The Lovers Are Losing Everybody's Changing Bend and Break Better Than This Again and Again A Bad Dream This is The Last Time Spiralling Try Again Sunshine Snowed Under The River You Haven't Told Me Anything Leaving So Soon? You Don't See Me Perfect Symmetry Somewhere Only We Know Crystal Ball ---Encore----- Playing Along Black Burning Heart Is It Any Wonder? Bedshapped
Next stop for them is South America, then North America in May. If you get the chance to see them -- don't dither, order those ticket's.
Next up for me is Judas Priest/Megadeth this Saturday.

Slipknot show was awesome! They announced on radio yesterday no Ozzfest this year though. Next up is Black Tide this Wednesday followed by the Bonnaroo Festival in June. Bonnaroo's gonna be pretty good this year. Springsteen, Phish, and Nine Inch Nails (a suprising add to a usual hippy festival) headlining.......

I'm also going to the Priest Feast on Saturday - can't wait.
Not going to the Wishbone Ash gig, but I was quite tempted as the godlike genius of It Bites are supporting!
Posted by J2ME (Member # 5728) on :
I'm really psyched up. I've got my Judas Priest/Megadeth playlist going like there is no tomorrow.
I have to admit, I don't know very much about Testament.
I booked the tickets for Wishbone Ash before It Bites were announced as support. I've never even heard of them, so I'll have to check out a few cds.
Posted by 80'sRocked (Member # 6979) on :
quote:Originally posted by J2ME: I have to admit, I don't know very much about Testament.
You are in for a treat with Testament. It is heavy a$$ metal, but Alex Skolnick on guitar is trained in classical and jazz. His way of mixing in all these different styles into metal is very awesome. Check this out:
Three of the greatest Metal bands in history. All under one roof. Amazing.
Thanks to a combination of laziness and the London Underground, I got to Wembley Arena late, and missed most of Testaments set. The 2 songs that I heard were very good and the crowd seemed to be really into them. I even saw a few people with Testament shirts on.
Testament (18:30-19:00)
Over The Wall The New Order More Than Meets The Eye Souls Of Black Practice What You Preach D.N.R 3 Days In Darkness The Formation Of Damnation
Megadeth were up next, and they were immense. The sheer number of people wearing Megadeth shirts was incredible -- someone should have told them they weren't headlining..
It was a fairly generic setlist, but with only an hour to play with, what did anyone expect.
Megadeth (19:30-20:30)
Sleepwalker > Wake Up Dead Take No Prisoners A Tout Le Monde Washington Is Next She-Wolf In My Darkest Hour Symphony of Destruction Skin O' My Teeth Hangar 18 Peace Sells ------------- Holy Wars
Wake Up Dead, A Tout Le Monde, In My Darkest Hour were the highlights for me.
Judas Priest came on next and blew everyone away.
I've been reading blogs/reviews on previous dates during the Priest Feast tour, and the sheer number of people favouring Megadeth during the tour was pretty unsettling to say the least. I like Megadeth, but they are no Priest.
I'm sure that they've been aware of this as well, and wanted to come out and show everyone that they are not passed it. They succeeded with flying colours -- they were easily the best band on the night.
The highlights for me were, Hell Patrol, Painkiller, Eat Me Alive, Sinner, Between The Hammer and The Anvil and the epic Metal Gods.
Judas Priest (21:00-22:45)
Dawn of Creation(Intro) Prophecy Metal Gods Eat Me Alive Between The Hammer And The Anvil Devil's Child Breaking The Law Hell Patrol Death Dissident Aggressor Angel Electric Eye Rock Hard Ride Free Sinner Painkiller ---------------- Hell Bent For Leather The Green Manalishi (With The Two-Pronged Crown) You've Got Another Thing Comin'

Ah J2ME I was at the Judas Priest, Megadeth and Testament gig too....The guy who sat next to me came in late....was that you??? Three rewinders under one arena roof....ahhhh 80's BLISS Posted by J2ME (Member # 5728) on :
Earth Angel,
Nope, I was standing. That's pretty cool 3 of us being there at the same time.
One of the best moments of the night was the crowd singing along to "War Pigs"
It wasn't as good as the onstage Harley and obviously my fave Priest song 'Angel' I had a fab night. You weren't near that scary mosh pit were you???
Posted by J2ME (Member # 5728) on :
I was right at the back. You couldn't pay me enough to go near a mosh pit.
I wasn't even aware what exactly was happening during Testament's set until I saw this on youtube.
aaron lewis from staind is gonna be at the casino here thursday and friday night!! i am trying to win tickets all day today to a session with him at the radio station and tickets to the concert cross your fingers for me guys lol dee Posted by Earth Angel (Member # 3301) on :
Yeah I was up on the side (right hand side as you look at the stage)....I had a great view of the Mosh pit....I was scared of it up there haha. People really shouldn't run in to each other and beat the crap outta each other in the name of music. You paid the money...watch the freakin band Posted by 80'sRocked (Member # 6979) on :

Heard today through word of mouth that Motley Crue will be playing the North Dakota State Fair this year. Not sure if it's a solo date for the Crue or if it's going to be part of CrueFest. Hopefully I'll have some steady income coming in by the time tickets go on sale so I can go see me some Crue at their nastiest. Always an awesome show.
Posted by Sammy Hain Invasion (Member # 3150) on :
Did some quick checking and it appears that Motley Crue will be appearing alone at the ND State Fair which looks to be the only date around that time that isn't part of CrueFest.
Posted by MotleyRulz (Member # 3598) on :

Update on CRUEFEST...
The CRUE will be playing "Dr. Feelgood" in it's entirety this summer!! In celebration of the 20th anniversary of this killer record!
Although i've always wanted them to do the SATD album front to back live, I can't complain, this is gonna kick a$$
Posted by He came and he saw that it was NOMS (Member # 2688) on :
Damn. Crue will probably headline 2nd stage at download and play this whilst Faith No More are on the main stage. What a dilemma...
FNM will probably win and i'll miss the crue...AGAIN!
Nomsley Crue Posted by buffalo-girl (Member # 7498) on :
while i was on facebook yesterday my buddy sent me a video from metallica and when i went to pick it up and watch it posted on the site was motley crue here at darien lake sept. 5th. it didn't have any other bands posted with them? no matter i am going to that concert too!! dee
Posted by MotleyRulz (Member # 3598) on :
As big a Crue fan as I am, I'd probably make the same decision Noms. I've saw the Crue numerous times though and only saw FNM once. I read the Cruefest lineup will be announced on March 16. The tour starts on July 19 in NJ (they're in Raleigh, NC on my birthday hot damn) and wind up Sept. 5 in NY. That NY date you mentioned is a Cruefest date dee......

Wow, guess what, like I didn't already know this was coming- Whitesnake has skipped over Pittsburgh again! WTF? Reb Beach, one of their guitarists, is from Pittsburgh. Last time they played here, which was 5 years ago, he got all of the backstage passes he could get his hands on for friends and family- 60 total! The show was packed. Why do all of the good rock shows skip over us? Country music is alive and flourishing here though, for what reason I don't know other than W. Virginia is literally about a 10 minute drive over the border from the Star Lake Amphitheater. Even at the rock shows, you see aplenty of redneck hillbillies drinking their Pabst Blue ribbon while riding on top of the hoods of their cars into the lot, plus waving their rebel flags. Oh, BTW, Buffalogirl, if you are reading this, Whitesnake is appearing somewhere in the Finger Lakes Region- I think it is Canandaiga, NY.

I must say that Nuno and the boys of Extreme rocked the joint like it was 1989(the last time they played here)and not 2009.....what showmanship and talent. Nuno Bettencourt, who is pushing 40, still looks like he's in his mid 20's and can still play that guitar like he was born with it in his hands. What a freakin' night....even though the 2 opening bands sucked big time! I recommend seeing these guys live if you get a chance.

Saw Chickenfoot live last night and I was really impressed with this supergroup. Joe Satriani on guitar is getting better with age....this is the best I ever heard him play. This is also the first time I ever got to see Sammy Hagar sing live too, and he was amazing. Perfect pitch the entire night. This whole band was awesome live and far better than what I was expecting....I recommend seeing them.

Saw Kiss at Madison Square Garden last night. Awesome show they put on with tons of pyrotechnics and stage presence. I was a bit disappointed that they only did 2 songs from the 80's though, and no ballads either.... Still was a great night. Buckcherry opened and was just OK IMO....
Posted by mamamiasweetpeaches (Member # 1715) on :
I was at that KISS show last night too! I think its the best KISSS show Ive ever been to. Ive seen them at Jones Beach twice but KISS was just made to play MADISON SQUARE GARDEN methinks!
I had once seen BUCK CHERRY open for AC DC and didnt think much of them.I liked them much more this time.
I was very satisfied that KISS pretty much stuck to the hits and didnt shove new album down our throats! I was up and singing and dancing. What a ball I had!

Awesome mama....we could have met and never even knew it! It was the first Kiss show that I saw live and it was worth the wait. Like I said, wish they did more 80's stuff, but the 70's tunes rocked enough. I just downloaded the new album, haven't listened to it yet.

Yeah my best friend is going to see METALLICA at MSG. The funny thing is I used to be hugely into METALLICA in the 80s n 90s and have NEVER seen them play live. I think that Ive let my not liking their newer stuff stop me from going to one of their shows. Im only cheating myself I guess.
Out of all the bands I like theres only a rare few I havent seen yet - METALLICA, THE POLICE, VAN HALEN and GUNS N ROSES. Thats about it.

The Parlor Mob + Duff McKagan's Loaded were the support bands last night. I can't remember the setlist for either band, but they were both great. The Parlor Mob especially.
Black Stone Cherry were f'ing awesome though.

The Editors were superb. I'm sure the constant comparisons to Joy division must be a hinderance, but you'd never know from their performances.
I'm looking forward to the new album.
Highlights: Blood, The Racing Rats, Smokers Outside the Hospital Doors,Bones.
These guys were amazing when I saw them supporting Black Stone Cherry, so I'm looking forward to seeing them again.
Posted by 80'sRocked (Member # 6979) on :
Saw Metallica last night at Madison Square Garden.....all I can say is WOW. First time I saw them live and they didn't disappoint. Awesome setlist, very similar to the one Motley posted. Can't wait to see them again. Lamb of God opened and they kicked a$$ as well! What a night.
Posted by J2ME (Member # 5728) on :
Deep Purple were unbelievable. The Gods of Hard Rock seem to get better every time I see them.
Highlights: Highway Star, Fireball, Strange Kind of Woman, Space Truckin'.
The Bad...
Ronnie James Dio has been hospitalised. Nobody is aware of the exact problem, but his entire European tour has had to be cancelled. I'm pretty deflated at the moment, but hopefully Ronnie will recover and make his way over here next year.
Get well soon Ronnie.
The Good...
Muse have announced a Stadium tour for next year. Posted by J2ME (Member # 5728) on :

I'm off to see 'The Answer' tonight. Very highly rated Irish band that supported AC/DC on their tour of the US.
Influences: Led Zeppelin, Thin Lizzy, Deep Purple.
Posted by mamamiasweetpeaches (Member # 1715) on :
I saw THE ANSWER open for ACDC this year. Very very good. Sounds like a cross between ACDC and LED ZEPPELIN.
Posted by He came and he saw that it was NOMS (Member # 2688) on :
Based on the initial announcements, I may pass on Download this year and go here instead...
The Answer were awesome. They really are a mixture of AC/DC and Led Zeppelin; the lead singer even resembles Robert Plant. It won't be too long before they are playing to much bigger crowds.
Setlist:
1. Tonight 2. Demon Eyes 3. Come Follow 4. Walkin' Mat 5. Cry Out 6. Never Too Late 7. Too Far Gone 8. Why'd You Change Your Mind 9. On And On 10. Evil Man 11. Comfort Zone 12. Dead Of The Night 13. Under the Sky 14. Highwater Or Hell 15. Preachin'
Highlights: Walkin Mat', Evil Man, Comfort Zone, Dead of the Night.
I never got the chance to see them at the O2 earlier in the year, so this is a very welcome suprise:

Some people are very sensitive to smoke, and especially tobacco smoke. So it really does matter to them. Also, there are hypoallergenic concerns when it comes to the air conditioning and the air quality in the venue.

Very cool. I can't wait, never saw Leppard. Heart was awesome back in the day. I'm sure they still rock! Will be some show.

Platinum Blonde "It Doesn't Really Matter" on Friday.
I am so jealous of you 80srocked and NOms! I saw Def Lep about 5 years back- it was an awesome show. I wish Iron Maiden would have come to the burgh on a weekend. Can't go to shows during the week unless it is without my husband, which would suck. Have fun at Neil Diamond Noms! I love him!

Late night last night.
EMINEM (first time ever in Ireland!) Kaiser Chiefs Jimmy at World OFWGKTA D12 The Knux
Worked security but got an outstanding view of the stage. First 3 bands were pretty ****ing awful if you ask me but once Jimmy Eat World hit the stage, my day improved (despite it raining throughout their set!)
Kaiser Chiefs were immensely impressive and I would definitiely see them again.
Mr Mathers. Having no idea of what he would be like live, I was not expecting a great show. How wrong could I be? He totally laid waste to Northern Ireland, decimating the crowd with all the hits plus new material. Colour me impressed, that guy can certainly put on a show.

I had a brilliant time. I was up in the heavens of the O2 Arena, but still had a great view of the band.
Trivium opened for Maiden -- wasn't really aware of them beforehand, and to be honest, I won't be rushing out to get any of their albums.
Maiden were indeed awesome though.

gotta go back:
The originals aren't with Rush anymore, as bassist Jeff Jones left after they first formed and now works with Tom Cochrane not to mention Burton Cummins, while drummer John Rutsey departed after their debut album owing to health concerns over diabetes, gave up playing and died in 2008 from a heart attack related to complications from diabetes.
And they still do tour the U.S. and they have a new album Clockwork Angels expected to be released next month with a tour to follow.

Satriani is one of the true greats--very underrated--and so many greats are jerks. It's always nice to hear that an idol is a good person. I felt that way when I met actress Cate Blanchett.
I'll bet Satriani was fantastic live. Posted by Bernie_Lomax (Member # 8571) on :
Fantastic live! I dunno how he gets the sounds he does out of that guitar. Yeah, I met another guitar virtuoso not long ago. Won't say who it was but he was kind of stand offish. It really put me off but at the same time I guess he could have been nervy being around so many people where anything could happen (benefit of the doubt anyway). Satriani though welcomed people like they were family though. He was great. You would be disappointed if Blanchett was a b....It would have been the ultimate paradox.

I have been waiting forever for Van Halen (Roth) to come to Australia. They always cancel or Eddie has a meltdown or something. So annoying. I would love to see them live. I would prefer Roth but also see Hagar if it was the only option. There are some great Van Hagar tracks too.

Just watching Eddie play would be enough but the perfect VH would have to be Roth. I have not been a big concert person, only been to a few in my lifetime but the older I get, I get the urge to see these old bands. This year is a good one here. Bands coming to Kansas City area... RUSH Tears for Fears Van Halen Huey Lewis opening for Jimmy Buffet BulletBoys earlier this year CHeap Trick Rolling Stones Weird AL Yankovic DEf Leppard,Styx Boston and some band named The GRISWOLDS
Posted by Bernie_Lomax (Member # 8571) on :
All those shows would be great! Roth era was much better. Sammy Hagar is technically a better singer but Roth has much more charisma on stage.
Posted by the young warrior (Member # 9554) on :
Tears for fears I didn't know they were still touring terdnthepoolggb,that's cool news!
The Griswold's,I wonder if it is actually them
I've seen def leppard a couple of times at Wembley arena they put on really good show actually,especially the first time I saw them,the second time I saw them it sounded like Joe Elliot was having trouble with his voice,a throat infection or something but he battled on to the end.
I'll tell you someone I was really impressed with and that was Canadian rocker Bryan adams,the support act who I can't remember who they were at this time must have pulled out for some reason but Bryan Adams was up on stage for a serious amount of time,it was a definite extended set that he done without a doubt.
He was a bit like the Duracell bunny that keeps going and going and I got to say he sounded really awesome live!
That was a great concert (at Wembley again).

Hey Warrior, Whats the capacity at Wembley?
[ 30. May 2015, 18:04: Message edited by: TerdNthePoolGGB ]
Posted by the young warrior (Member # 9554) on :
Wembley arena the capacity is 12,500,Wembley stadium is 90,000 and there's also the o2 arena which has the likes of Fleetwood Mac,roxette,u2,Belinda Carlisle,Madonna this year holds 20,000.
Not as big as some of your venues in the us but not a bad size!
Def leppard and whitesnake are on at Wembley arena on December 18th which i would have liked to have gone and seen but since my wife has started working nights it's more difficult to get out to these events.
Plus cost wise to drive up to London and concert tickets as well would probably set me back a small fortune but I will do it again at some point!
Posted by TerdNthePoolGGB (Member # 9818) on :
90,000. That's pretty huge IMO. In my neck of the woods, Arrowhead stadium(home of the Kansas City Chiefs) will host The Stones and holds 76,000.
The Sprint Center is a fairly new arena in KC and holds 19,000+. Tons of concerts are here. Similar to o2 arena in size. Another popular venue would be Cricket Wireles Amphitheatre(18,000) which is where Van Halen will be in July.
Starlight Theatre holds 8000

YOUNG WARRIOR. in response to your post that has disappeared regarding Kansas. It is often thought that Kansas City is Kansas but there are 2 KC's. KC Missouri and KC Kansas. They border each other. THE Kansas City is the Missouri side where the popular attractions are and "the downtown area". I am on the Missouri side, 20 minutes from KCMO. As far as the weather goes it is one extreme to the other. winter can get below zero, though not common and summer can be humid and hit 100. Of the cities you visited, do you recmmend any
Posted by the young warrior (Member # 9554) on :
Yeah I went to edit my post then made a complete mess of what I was going to say so I deleted it .
I'm pleased you got to read it first,out of those places I've been San Fran was very easy to get around with most things easy enough to find.
I did get lost once looking for a large record store called amoeba records that was in a district known as haight Ashbury,a local couple could see that we were lost and gave us a lift a good few miles to get there.
The store was awesome,great selection of vinyl,CDs,DVDs,it was huge,went to Alcatraz island on the usual daytime tour which was cool,I believe you can do it by night as well.
It's a really great place.
Atlanta was also really great,a lot more sprawled out than San Fran,went to six flags over Georgia,six flags white water,stone mountain,I think I've mentioned to you before we had a Dave and busters right next to our hotel in Marrietta which was really cool.
I think the most fun though was probably pigeon forge,we stayed at a days inn and right next door they had a multi storey go kart track,then you got Dollywood theme park,Dollywood splash country where I made a right fool of myself and thought I'd go up to the free fall slide to impress my son,god knows why as I haven't got a head for heights and I bottled it just as I was about to go down,not thinking there's only one way up to the top so there was only one way back down and that is to pass everyone coming up the stairs which was really embarrassing.
And Los Angeles I enjoyed as well but found it more difficult to get places,went to Venice beach,the walk of fame on Hollywood boulevard where one of the street performers we met was from a place back home called dover which is only a few miles from where I live so it's a small world!
Also done the usual six flags magic mountain,universal studios.
You been out of state much terdnthepoolggb?
Posted by the young warrior (Member # 9554) on :
When I stayed in L.A terdnthepoolggb at the venue along the road we missed Alice cooper in concert by about a couple of nights,I would have definitely have gone if I had the chance.
When we got there it was a Thomas the tank engine concert which didn't quite have the same appeal.
Just before we left l.a they had a group called the misfits there,I've seen one of there music videos it was to a horror film I watched some years back called bruiser.
Have you ever heard of them before?
Posted by TerdNthePoolGGB (Member # 9818) on :
Ive heard of Misfits but don't remember any of their stuff. Yes, Atlanta takes forever to drive through. We flew into San Fran in 2010 but didn't stay. We were there maybe an hour then we drove north to the Redwood forests then over to the California coast and all the way up the Oregon coast to Portland Oregon. We did pull over by the Golden Gate Bridge and looked at the scenery including Alcatraz. Would have liked to have done a tour but it wasn't in our time budget. San Fran looks pretty cool from what little I saw.
I highly recommend the Oregon coast. If you don't like big cities it is perfect cause it has only small towns along the coast plus Astoria has some filming locations from 80s films you can check out. Colorado is pretty good and Utah has some very cool scenery and national parks.

Also check out this in this video; I dunno if many of you guys have noticed this but when they do aerial shots of the city they would have had to have used a helicopter to do it.

back to the future ride was actually the only ride i went on that made me physically sick while i was out there and i went on an absolute ton of rides if you include six flags park.
i had to run to the toilets(or restrooms as you like to call them) as soon as i got off the ride,i don't know what it was it just done it for me,motion sickness i think!
i liked the jurassic park ride,revenge of the mummy which at the time was the latest attraction was closed for the day which was gutting,the studio tour was good they had the movie backdraft with the fire and explosion effects and my son (7 at the time) jumped out of his skin i think he thought it was all for real.
you've been to some great places by the sound of it terdnthepoolggb,i bet you enjoyed the laid back life style of barbados,i've never been but would like to go.
gouves in crete,greece(just a random pic of the web) a very quiet and relaxing destination to visit.
i'll run of a few a countries (apart from the states) that i've been to with out boring you by going to much into detail - i've been to malta a little island in the meditaranean which was a very pleasant holiday,you can get anywhere on the island easily within a day as it's very small plus i found the people very friendly,crete which is a greek island was also very nice,again the people were very friendly and the part of the island i went to was seriously quiet and relaxing.
olu deniz turkey - a great place to visit.
i've been to olu deniz in turkey and i really loved it,the people there were great and the surrounding area was pretty stunning,madrid in spain which i liked a lot but at times felt unbearably hot,majorca spain is also pretty cool place to visit and lastly vienna in austria wich was pretty awesome with loads to do and cheap and delicious street food.

I would also have to have Beat City playing in the car:
Also check out this in this video; I dunno if many of you guys have noticed this but when they do aerial shots of the city they would have had to have used a helicopter to do it. Start this video at 1:16 and focus on the left of the screen about a third of the way up. You can see the reflection of the chopper on the building.
yeah i spotted it bernie,what a great city chicago looks.
also to live a day like ferris did in the movie would be off the scale awesome,getting the better off your teachers,parents,skipping school,driving a classic ferrari around the windy city.
if only,what a blast that would be!

Warrior. That pic of olu deniz turkey is absolutely beautiful. Sounds like you have had some good travels in your lifetime. Greece would be great to see. Have you been to Frances coast?
You are correct. Barbados is laid back. We even found some beaches with nobody on them but us. I must say this. A pale skinned fella came to the beach to do some body surfing and he was there all day and was beet red by the time he left. I can only imagine the pain he must have been in that evening.
Bernie, excellent video of Chicago buildings by air. I never would have seen the heli if you hadn't pointed it out. And you say youre not observant.

Chicago looks great! I met some American guy recently. He just moved here from U.S.A. He said it was good here because you don't have to worry about being shot in the face. He said that can be a problem in places like Chicago. I said to him not to become a travel agent
I think you should be able to pay a company 5 grand and live out the Ferris Bueller experience. It also involves role playing with your old high school headmaster. You can tell him exactly what you think of him and he can't say anything because he's been paid off. Then you get escorted to the Ferrari where you are met by your dream girl (no need for the anxious best mate role to be filled) and you burn it into Chicago as fast as you want (police have been paid off too) etc.. etc...
I used to be very observant as a kid and now I feel like I am too lazy to put the effort into observing But I probably watched FBDO about 785 times before I noticed it.

I'm sure I remember reading that St Louis was also one of the most dangerous cities in the united States and isn't it in vacation when the Griswold's pull up and ask for directions and then there car gets jacked up and they run of with there wheels isn't that scene meant to be in st Louis.
I'm sure it is as the Griswold's pass the huge looking gateway arch moments earlier.
I can remember there driving along and all of a sudden they hear a gun shot and Clark says quick do up your windows kids
Yeah that would be cool to do that Bernie,you think I bet if any of us to actually tried to live the day as ferris bueller back then we would probably have finished up expelled from school and probably grounded for life!
Greece and Turkey are really nice terdnthepoolggb infact all of the Mediterranean area is probably well worth checking out.

Yeah, I believe it was St Louis - Oh and I am assuming there is no elevator to the top of that archway?
What's the difference? As long as we get across the river.
Excuse me Holmes, hey what it is bro..
Great scene!
Roll em up!
The original vacation is such a good movie. I like all of them though. Well the first three anyway.
Posted by TerdNthePoolGGB (Member # 9818) on :
you can go to the top of the Saint Louis arch. It has several small compartments that hold 4-5 people at a time. its not an elevator but serves the same purpose.

I thought Chevy was just being stupid, giving the kids false information as per usual. I dunno if I would be game to go up on it. You been up?
I am from the West side of Chicago, here on vacation. A real classy place to take a vacation Posted by Bernie_Lomax (Member # 8571) on :
One thing about Ferris that seems lame though is that he is facing repeating his final year for 9 sick days. I calculated once that a typical school year involves about 200 days when you take out holidays and weekends. My brother took off 80 days in year 12, still passed and got a university placement.
Posted by TerdNthePoolGGB (Member # 9818) on :
been up it a couple times. you can feel it swaying
Posted by Bernie_Lomax (Member # 8571) on :
There is no way I would go up man. I would go into panic mode and start lying on the floor in an attempt to ground myself. How tall is it?
Posted by TerdNthePoolGGB (Member # 9818) on :
hahaha bernie.Clark Grizzle was right. Its over 600 feet high. Thats sixty stories to you and me.
Posted by Bernie_Lomax (Member # 8571) on :
I always assumed when he was telling the kids about landmarks and history that he just made it up. That's what you get when you have a sense of humour like Chevy - nobody believes you when you are serious.
Can we go up on it Dad?
No.

house of mud. yes St Louis arch. no

A-ha need to visit Cali. I can remember having their greatest hits on cassette, and listening to it constantly. I love all of their songs, but my favorite was always, "The Final Countdown". Man, what a tune!

I'm going to see Def Leppard, REO Speedwagon and Tesla in July. I am really looking forward to seeing Tesla again. I watched them three times on the Monsters of Rock cruise 2 years ago, and one set was acoustic in the theater. I also saw them about 25? Years ago, opening for Motley Crue during the Dr. Feelgood tour. They played a very subdued, quiet acoustic set, which I was quite ****ed about. I seriously think Motley forced them to do it, rather than play full on electric, because they didn't want to get upstaged.
Posted by aTomiK (Member # 6575) on :
I like Tesla´s first two albums but after the Five Man Acoustical Jam event they somehow forgot how to rock and became very generic IMO.
Posted by Pittsburghgirl (Member # 7514) on :
Jackyl, Vixen, Vince Neil and Quiet Riot are playing the Erie Roar on the Shore biker fest this year, July 13-16. . I wonder who will be singing for Quiet Riot, since Frankie Benali keeps firing each singer after about 6 months, lol.
