    I could be wrong but I don't think Satriani and Vai would have pissed all that amazing bubble of late 80s early 90s money away on cocaine and whores though like some of their contemporaries.

    I was reading the other day how Boris Becker managed to get through over a hundred million...

        I like Satch , I have fond memories of his twiddly albums but I do feel he is a little bit tainted by the chickfool connection.

And you pretty much go to a G3 show to see and jaw-dropping technical ability and a guitar solo wankfest. Like, Collen might want to consider doing his set first, because if he goes on last...it'll be kinda laughable: he just doesn't stack up to the other two players on the bill.
          I'm sure he'll take his shirt-off to show everyone his 50-something pecks...

                I saw the maybe 90's-something VH1 ("Behind the Music?") special on Def Leppard and Phil was bragging how he quit drinking and worked out like a fiend. But nobody really gives a fuck and to try to market himself like that at his age is really a bizarre testament to vanity he could get away with if he was at least somewhat subtle about it...

                I guess their episode is on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDI4xgQ27R8

                  I saw on Peter Frampton's FB page that he's going to be a special guest on a couple of shows as well....

                  EDIT: Actually it's going to be Frampton on some, The Pretenders on some, and Foreigner as well.....

                  Def Leppard/Journey will have two major support bands with them in stadiums in the USA and Canada.

                    Which is fine that he did that, in terms of quitting drinking and working out. But, as you say, it gets a bit weird as he gets older that he seemingly can't just put his shirt on.

                      Phil Collen has left Def Leppard to attend to a family emergency. Steve Brown from Trixter is filling in for him. Brown covered Vivian Campell while Campell was out for cancer treatment.

                        Maybe prices drop as we get closer and tix don't sell...
                        FTR, tickets could be had for $40...

                            They were here last night. I didn't know Collen had left until I read the review on the Plain Dealer site. There were plenty of pics, the Twixter guy plays Wolfgangs.

                            I didn't look at what tickets were available. Didn't see any pop up on any of the buy/sell/trade groups I'm in.

                              Maybe next they'll kick Joe Elliot out of the band and replace him with Roseanne Barr. Apparently she needs a new gig.

                                The most ridiculous thing about that Barr stuff is her saying Soros was in the SS.

                                If you can't take the time to check fucking snopes at least think for a second about how old he would need to be and check his age...

                                I was in Hungry recently and the irony about that stuff is that his mortal enemy is the Prime Minister of Hungary Viktor Orban who is the closest thing we have in Europe at the moment to a Nazi leader. He's where Trump wants to get to, getting his rich friends to buy and close down any media that criticises him - scary stuff.
