Cool tours

Postby foolintherain » Sun May 03, 2009 4:56 am

what do you guys think a cool triple bill tour would be?

I would say Styx, King Crimson, ELP

or a cool double would be Styx and Rush

Styx has already been opener for Rush in 1976 and Tommy opened for them in 87 on the Hold Your Fire tour.

I never said they needed them. It would be great. Two amazing live bands in one night.
It is Styx. Get over it. I bet you're some little fat guy with circle glasses that sits on his computer all day hating on things he doesn't have a clue about. If you met your hated Jy in person you wouldn't be able to say one thing to him you'd be so nervous.

Not saying I wouldn't be first in line for that ticket, but I'd also be sad that we wouldn't get three hours of Rush, if you got an hour and half from each that's only half the time they played this last tour, that's a lot of music to cut out. But we would get a longer Styx set if they weren't on a triple bill.. tough call, not that anyone would ever have to make it.

So froy, are Styx leaching of Reo and .38 Special, or those to leaching off of Styx?

Or is it just one big symbiotic mechanism where they are leaching off of eachother?

Hmmm I think overall the Rush fans would not like Styx, thats just a general comment, granted there are fans of both out there. I have seen Rush many times and Its hard to put your finger on it, but the crowds are different.

You haven't seen April Wine or Loverboy live recently have you?? Snoozefest!

Even Nickelback has started to become stale live (they sure where when I saw them in 07, in their home province!)

I'm still awaiting the Triumph reunion.. looks like it won't happen afterall..

yeah. I am actually. I do believe that question was for Froy though. He has also not answered, because he probably is.

Having actually seen photos of Froy myself, it is YOU who would be in for the surprise. He doesn't fit the stereotype, but I'll let him choose to prove or disprove that for himself. But do be careful if he challenges you to a picture posting contest.

I think that's a great idea. Let's see you guys duke it out with your photo's. We'll all vote on who's the nerdiest.
I think Mr JY Roboto and Nightbull should join in on this too.
It'll be like a Star Trek convention... :D

Or, we can just have Zan post more pics of herself, maybe a past Halloween costume? Maybe a French maid kind of thing?
alright...I know I'm crossing a line here. I apologize ladies... :oops:
