You can find Gary Richrath on an LA corner, brown bag in hand, drinking from whatever's inside of it. Poor-ass sap.

YEAH!!!!!!!!!, , even though Robert Palmer stole the Power Station sound for his solo career and ran it into the ground. And their 2nd album did suck horribly.

I've only seen a handful of episodes, and they seemed to focus most on 80's new wave/new romantic bands. My favorite episode by far was Flock of Seagulls, especially since I'd seen the Mike Score solo version twice live in small clubs.

I ran across a real expose' rant by (I think) the lead singer of Information Society griping about how they'd totally distorted their meeting with him and taken it out of context for the purposes of the show. He broke what happened down completely, and it did sound like they really tried to manipulate him. No surprise in any of these shows.

They need to reunite the original W.A.S.P. -- there would be a great show with plenty of bad blood and drama to go along with it.

Not true any longer dude. I have told the story on here many times- Gary owns a house in Newbury Park, CA, and I used to see him daily, tooling around in a 49ers sweatshirt pounding Boones Farm down at the Lamp Post Pizza parking lot, where I frequented every fucking day for Happy Hour pitchers for 5 bucks. He no longer trolls and word is the dude is off the sauce and starting to looking more and more fit. Man he could flat out play the guitar. Cronin only lives 12 miles from him in Agoura Hills- Maybe they reached out and solved their differences?

Anyway, REO just signed up with Pat Benatar for a co headlining tour, not that anyone's interested.

No shit, that's awesome. I'd love to see him come back. I like Dave Amato too, wouldn't mind seeing a 3-guitar tour between Cronin, Richrath, and Amato. Amato's a great backing vocalist too.

REO+Pat Benatar is a great bill, I'd see that for sure.

Looks like I'm paying that dipshit Dan a visit

Hey Matt, found this one for you: REO solo-

April 09, 2010
Ballroom At French Lick Resort & Casino
French Lick, IN

Pretty close to you eh? Maybe you can take Behshad and sleep over afterwards, holding him tight as you spoon.

Greek Theater, cool.

hmm, i'll have to map french lick out. Never heard of it. At any rate, Indiana isn't that close... anywhere in IN will be at least 3.5 hours for me. I'd just as soon hit Chi-town up unless it was Indianapolis (one hell of a nice city, BTW).

EDIT: 7 hours. Fuck that, I can get to Chicago quicker!

I hate when bands pick the theme park circuit when they tour and choose Orlando.

Dude, how can you say no to French Lick? Home of Larry Bird. LOL, remember that guy in the early eighties, rocking that doo?..Good lord, his haircut looked like that of an older lesbian.

Andy Taylor rocks! Best thing to ever come out of all that preppiness known as Duran Duran. Love his stuff outside of DD, when he just rocks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTrQWWcmPwE


As for bands re-united? I got my wish last year! They're back together..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgbhIeETZ2A

Be careful what you wish for. I have a feeling this reunion would sound like shit. Infact, I'm so certain of it I would pass on buying tickets. You are not gonna hear the Journey sound out of 61 year old vocals. How many steps could they tune down and have the songs still be recognizable?

Lynn, it's REO Speedwagon, not U2. They can't exactly fill Amway Arena you know?

They're doing it now are they not? A tuned down Perry is still better than a good Pineda.

Are you on fucking drugs? You really believe Perry could reach high notes to where Pineda is currently tuned down to? No way, dude, just no way.

It would be just fine.
