    With the retirement more so because it becomes something of an 'event'.

      That would mean that at least 50% of singers from bar bands to arenas were suffering from dementia.

          Since that song pretty much called Eddie a liar, that might be in bad taste to play it now.

            Dave has shown signs of schizophrenia at times.

                  Dave sounded great towards the end of his run with Kiss...

                  He blew those clowns away night after night...

                  Read the local reviews...

                    I'd say that number is a lot higher.

                        I'm really curious about the economics of these shows. The gross for the 5 shows to 1800 people is probably $8 or $9 million which is nuts. You can see the attraction for artists to play smaller rooms in Vegas. Why sit on tour buses and pay for all that shit of truckloads of crew and lights and all the security needed for a 20K arena crowd when you can sit in the best suite in a 5* Vegas hotel a short walk from the venue and have the money come to you each night?

                        So he will have his band rehearsing now 5 days a week until the shows, and if he is true to previous solo gigs he may turn up to a couple of rehearsals late December.

                        He's said it himself that it takes him a while to get into tour mode so tempting though those New Years gigs may be, if it was me I would try and get tickets for the last or second last.

                              At least Dave is doing things the right way.

                              Saw the other day that Sammy is saying he's having dreams where he talks to Eddie...

                              What a tool..
