WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE WEST COAST DATES GODDAMN IT???

Surely, there will be a second Western U.S. leg. The promoters are such dicks to deal with this year, they are probably waiting to see how everything goes on the first 15 dates, and get the cash flow off these dates to tie down venues for the 2nd leg.

Idol always finishes his Tours in hometown L.A. and always hits Vegas. I will definitely do Vegas, if he plays there, 2001 was so much fun.

I have 5th row at the April 17th Norva show in Norfolk, V.A. My personal birthday present to me. And May 17th Velvet Revolver at the VA Beach ampitheater section 101 baby.

I wish I would have recorded the 20th aniversary show he did on MTV a few years ago. Steve Stevens and Billy Idol stole that show and they went on fairly early. He had kids in the audience going nuts and most didn't look old enough to be in college so I'm sure he earned a few new fans.

Great posts, and two great gigs, Idol & VR. Look forward to the reviews.

I have that show on tape. It was just one song, (Rebel Yell) but Idol and Stevens smoked it.

The VH1 documentary on Idol is great also. Guy's funny.

I'll review both. I actually got the Billy Idol tix for a personal B-day present but a friend of mine at work had never been exposed to Billy Idol. He always gets him and Billy Joel confused. I know what you're thinking and I don't know why. He's got good taste in music for only being 22. He's into CVH and alot of great classic rock. He's also a Vai fan. Of course he's heard "White Wedding" and "Rebel Yell" etc but has never known who it was. Growing up, no one around him listened to Billy Idol so he just never got into it. I figured he'll either love it or hate me for bringing him but since he likes the above mentioned music and he's a big fan of guitar players, (he loves Jason Becker too but didn't know he played with Dave until I brought in my ALAE and let him hear it) I told him Steve Stevens is one of the last "true" guitar players and he wanted to go.

I just burned him a compilation of Steve Winwood also. His dad always played the solo 80's stuff like "The Finer Things" and "Valerie". Especially "Roll With It", and I threw some Spencer Davis Group, Blind Faith, and Traffic stuff on it as well. Until I made that cd for him, he never realized Steve Winwood was in Blind Faith with Clapton or that he was in Traffic, or even he was singing "Give Me Some Lovin". He'd heard the songs before but never realized it. Shortly after I made it for him Steve Winwood's Austin City Limits aired locally and he saw it and loved it. I didn't know this guy could play guitar better than keyboard but he fucking tore it up. I don't remember the song but it was like a 10 min jam at the end where it was all solo and he was playing it. Made me respect him even more. One of the few guys I can listen to regardless of what he's currently doing or style he chooses to do next. IMO its all good. Now, if he was only playing somewhere close on his summer tour I'd definately be there.........

I saw Billy two years in a row at the Chicago House of Blues in 02 and 03. He brought the house down on both occasions! The mother fucker can still rock at 49. He totally dumped some great tunes he had been working on with Steve over the past few years. Some of which should have been included on Devil's. Anyhow, the HOB was an awesome venue to see a concert. I was standing 10 feet away from the stage. Two great nights I'll never forget. He's playing the Congress Theater this time around. The tix are $36 plus this fee and that fee. Still, he and stevens are more than worth the money. I'll be there!!!! BTW, I am fascinated with Plastic Jesus. Anyone else like the track? Better yet, let us know what your favorite track is or give us a song by song review! =) Some have been complaining that the last 6/7 tracks aren't as good as the first 8. I think that it appears that way only because the first 8/9 songs are so awesome that a good second half pales a little. I'm sure Idol wanted to end the experience on a serene note. As I mentioned before, if you buy the cd at target, you'll get two great bonus tracks. Bleeding Me Insane is one of them. It was originally slotted for the album opener. I am confused as to why they didn't just add the two tracks on to the album. I guess I'm not the producer. There are some folks who complain that some albums are too long. I suppose that if you put out an album with 15 tracks, people have more to find fault with. That really sucks! My thought is "fill out the whole fucking thing!" The cd had plenty of room left to put the two great "bonus" tracks an maybe more. Regardless, five stars for the cd and the live shows!!!! *****

>>>He always gets Billy Idol and Billy Joel confused.

Someone needs to beat that boy's ass, lol.

>>>Steve Winwood

Steve Winwood is a highly respected heavy weight in the biz. Not my kind of music, but still the man is well respected, I guess like Phil Collins is, in that vein.

This is a great video classic, that Idol is in,
along with a lot of other great rock and rollers.

i'd rather have a 20 year old issue of Rolling Stone than a current issue of the piece of shit that it now is.

does that make sense? :D

Re: Current Rolling Stone
