Saturday July 20th

dammit, that would be cool

[vandeleur]

Fuck I hope that comes off

[twonabomber]

I would prefer a full summer tour.

8 hours 52 minutes to Oshkosh...

[vandeleur]

Maybe this is just foreplay before the big tour ... think of it as outside tops

Maybe it's a stop in the middle of the tour.

Summer sheds? I HATE going to Blossom but you know I'll make an exception for VH.

[ELVIS]

A fucking one-off gig in Wisconsin ??

[Zing!]

Damn... That's right next door! But I think we already have vacation plans for that weekend. Hate to miss it if this is for reals. I will talk to the wifey ASAP.

They did one at the US Festival in 1983. I don't think the gig in Wisconsin is going to offer VH US Festival kind of money.

Patience...

The nerve....

How dare they.....



Obviously someone in their camp forgot to check with you first.

[DLR Bridge]

I wonder who the 4th luckier than hell act is. Is Dokken still Lynchless? Is Ratt once again Pearcyless? Is Jackyl still just a lame band that brings a chainsaw out on stage?

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Stuck.....

First thing I thought was "it's gonna be a LONG day..."

It's just the first announced gig. First date to slip out. I have a feeling this will be a busy summer. Give it a few more weeks for more dates to leak out as promoters start releasing their dates.

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Would be really surprised to see this pan out to an entire tour with Ratt...

Although I'd much rather watch Ratt than KATG....

Carlos Cavazo in Robin Crosby's spot worked out pretty well, actually better when I saw them a few years ago. Don't know if he kept the gig, though. Who's playing the part of Stephen Pearcy these days?

[twonabomber]

Gotta buy tickets for all four days? meh.

[Carmine]

Thanks for posting this, Bomber...I was stuck in a meeting...

RATT is Pearcy, DeMartini, Cavazo, Blotzer and Croucier...we had them up here in August 2010 at my buddy's place for a gig...they rocked...

I may fly in for this...

[Carmine]

If you buy tickets from March 11-13, they're only $49 for all 4 days!

[hambon4lif]

140 miles from the house in the middle of summer?

This is a Harley run!

I'm there, motherfuckers!!

So there I am, around 12 AM on a Thursday night and not having to go into work the following morning. After having imbibed more than a Falstaffian amount of alcohol and microwaved pizza, I'm flicking channels and run across a bizarre show (Full Throttle Saloon) about the comings and goings of a bar set in Sturgis during the annual bike week held there. Wanna guess what the main source of conflict was, set amongst the titillating shots of chicks in bikinis or biker gear? You guessed it...Jackyl, and the band's lead singer Jesse James Dupree, who in addition to selling his own brand of whiskey, felt it would be a cool idea to leap off of a bridge into a stack of wet cardboard at the end of his group's set. Tragically, he survived the incident, coming away unhurt (yet limping) and apparently no wiser.

Seriously, I couldn't make this shit up. In a previous season, the bonehead did the human cannon ball trick, getting launched out of one and once again landing on his noggin.

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Date is apparently confirmed per Jeff at VHND....

[ELVIS]

So, this will be the warmup gig for the Sam and Dave Van Halen Show, right ??

[private parts]

I love this show too, but I'm easily entertained.

[FORD]

Let's hope not.....

It would be torture enough sitting through Dokken, Ratt, and Jack-off. Add Hagar to that list, and it's enough to make you suicidal.

[ELVIS]

So, does Wolf have a gig with Tremonti on July 20 ??

[DLR Bridge]

Chef, I caught some of that shit show while flipping through the channels. Soon as I saw that jagoff pop out on stage with a 3 ft. piece of chain hanging from the microphone, I dumped it.

Goddamn, that makes me ridiculously happy. It doesn't take much with this band...

If your wife has a problem with shifting around your vacation in order to attend this show, simply print out the Man Rules and hand them to her, but not before you add one more rule #1. All things family related will be adjusted to accommodate the mighty Van Halen.

That would go over like a lard omelet. I have a brother coming back from Taiwan and my folk's 50th wedding anniversary that day. Tragically, it looks like I will have to pass.

Fockalocka!

[PETE'S BROTHER]

the anniversary of the first manned moon landing. they could come up with a cool stage entrance

That's not what Alex Jones says.

Damn,I didn't see this coming. I booked the high dollar pkg for Rocklahoma

[sonrisa salvaje]

I'm all for Ratt and Dokken but Jackyl not so much. I saw enough of them opening for Dave on his last solo tour. Kind of suprises me that Dokken is playing before Jackyl given the latter had one platinum record vs 3 or 4 for Dokken. I would assume whoever gets the earliest opening slot will be less popular than all of the others....somebody like Lita Ford maybe? One of the versions of Queensryche?
