Dave: "I'm Retiring"

[Seshmeister]

Didn't he saysomething like 75 days of warming up for his last five shows ??

He did and I believe him but he sure as hell won't be there.

[Kristy]

He's said it himself that it takes him a while to get into tour mode...

Yeah, I guess. Must take a while for this to kick in

[ELVIS]

Hmmm...

[WARF]

I have a bad feeling we might not even get the final shows. I think Dave will either not be around by then or they will be postponed and Dave won’t be healthy enough to perform, and in typical late fashion we will find out Alex and Mike were both ready to do it….. too little too late as always. I hate to be pessimistic, but it looks like VH is ready to do the Ramones thing where every member drops dead one by one consecutively. Ed’s dad died at age 66…Ed was 65 three months shy of 66… Dave’s dad died at 67….. Dave turns 67 in a week….

[ELVIS]

I shouldn't have thanked you for that but I did...

Good points...

Hi WARF !!

I'm afraid of the same

Between the Kiss cancelation and denying the Crue tour... there's something underlying

[FORD]

He was a liar...

Well, at the time, yes. But that song pretty much became irrelevant in 2007 anyway, because you COULD get that stuff some more.

[twonabomber]

Where does it say Al is showing up?

I took it as Dave telling Al he was done.

[Never was]

I'll be at all the shows.

Endings suck but make it a fucking party and then fight like hell whatever health stuff is going on.

If VH dies in order of importance to the band, then we can expect Dave to go next, followed soon thereafter by Al and then Mike. By that logic, Sammy has another solid 25-30 years of life ahead of him.

Ringo will be the last Beatle to die.

Morrison was the first of the Doors to die.

Brian Jones...debatable

What was the upside to being on the Crue tour, beyond being in better shape than Vince Neil?

[FORD]

Ringo will be the last Beatle to die.

Very likely. These days he's looking about 20 years younger than Paul. Even though he's actually two years older. Ironically, Ringo was so sick as a child the doctors told his parents he wouldn't see his 10th birthday. So he's been on borrowed time for 70 years now, arguably.

Would have been nice had Dave played a larger venue than Hard Rock Vegas (and he could have filled a larger venue for 5 shows easily with his announcement)... prices for the Hard Rock are outrageous at this point.
