Sheryl Crow guesting in Chicago tomorrow...I've heard rumors of Chuck Berry for the third Chicago show.

Sheryl Crow guesting in Chicago tomorrow...I've heard rumors of Chuck Berry for the third Chicago show.

Is Chuck still playing live? I think he's in his mid 80's by now. Truly surprised he's not down here yet.

Someone mentioned that CB may not be in the best of health, and if he did show he'd probably be a prick about being there.

[Satan]

And probably still argue with Keef about how to play the songs.

[twonabomber]

So much for Chuck Berry. Taylor Swift is tonight's guest.

[FORD]

Taylor Swift??

Seriously, that's as bad as Justin Timberlake, and at least that was for charity.... and the audience threw bottles at him.

Here's a rarity from the 1982 euro tour. Not sure if they ever performed this one again. Certainly not at any shows where the soundboards were being recorded, unfortunately.........

Swift guested on As Tears Go By

$600/ticket for this tour and that doesn't include taxes, surcharges and fees? Fuck you, Mick. Get cancer.

[Satan]

Fuck that Taylor Swift dragonshit..... this is more like it.....

[Matt White]

Do Taylor Swift, Sheryl Crow and Dave Grohl somehow think that if they jump up onstage with classic rock legends enough times they will somehow vicariously be thought of as classic artists themselves? Is that the strategy? I guess so. Suppose it's a lot easier than trying to do so with their own talent and songs. Hey, I like Grohl's stuff, but just because he has played with Lemmy and John Paul Jones doesn't put the Foo Fighters in the same league as Motorhead or Led Zeppelin.

[Satan]

Grohl has pretty much established that he will go on stage with just about anyone, just for the Hell of it. I think he actually enjoys it, from the perspective of a fan of these artists, who just happens to be a famous musician himself. It's getting to the point where the list of classic rock bands he hasn't played with (all or in part) is shorter than the list of those he has. Any kid who ever picked up a guitar dreams of opportunities like that. Grohl's circumstances just gave him a better opportunity to actually do it. I don't think he really gives a shit if it boosts the Foo's sales or not, though I'm sure he also wouldn't complain if indeed it has.



Same is probably true to a lesser degree with Sheryl Crow, as she has appeared with the Stones on several occasions over the years.

Taylor Swift? I'll admit, I'll never understand that. Just like I didn't understand Justin Timberfuck being on stage with them at SARSstock 2003 in Toronto.

[Terry]

I'm just being a cunt to a degree, but I kinda wonder why all these established rock icons are falling all over themselves to play onstage with Grohl. I mean, I certainly don't consider Grohl a peer on a level with Lemmy or John Paul Jones in terms of the music he's made: I like the Foos, but they're nowhere near THAT good.

Maybe Grohl is just a nice guy and it's all just for a bit of fun and I'm just being a dick about it. Whatever.
