  1. stoked to have punk back in WWE. Happy to see him continue wrestling. I was in person in both Vegas and Chicago when he won the belt in AEW. I was also at the show in LA where he broke his foot (and MJF delivered the "you fucking mark" promo)
  2. I used to have a list but stopped updating it. Below is the list up until sometime in 2015 when I stopped updating. Since then I have seen Guns N' Roses 6x or so, Ugly Kid Joe, Jack White solo and the Racotneurs multiple times each, the Kills, St. Vincent, McCartney again, MC50, Aerosmith, Lady Gaga, more cheap trick, more ace frehley, more Alice Cooper, etc, etc...

  3. Yep.. Like they played Anything goes earlier in the night, swap that with Madagascar and the encore would start off with a bang. Or maybe madagascar just isn't needed at all, but thats subjective.
  4. I have passed on seeing GN'R since 2017 as it just felt redundant after a while but had to go see them at the Bowl as it's one of the most iconic venues in the world and happens to be 25 miles form my house. I got a ticket right up front the night before the show for a "decent" price finally. Overall, I had a blast. Locomotive is my all time favorite song so I was beyond thrilled to see that live. Bad Obsession and Pretty tied up were super cool as well and I haven't seen SOD/The Blues since 2006 I think, so that was really fun. My only complaint would be how bloated and slow the last third of the show was. If you take out Nightrain, it was all slow/mid-tempo songs from I think Civil War or SCOM to before Paradise City. NR, Patience, Madagascar, etc...It really brought the level and energy of the show down, at least for me. For me, if they are going to play slower songs, I want to see Don't Cry, Sorry, etc. All in all, it was awesome and I'm super glad I went, as I debated it all the way up until the night before the show.
  5. Check out the ticket prices for KISS' show that is the following night. While it's not an exact comparison. It will give you an idea. Bowl holds 17,000 ish
  6. Pool Circle and Garden boxes will be very expensive. Half way up, up to the top will be pretty standard concert prices. Pool will be cheaper if it is GA but the majority of the time it is seated, so that outcome will dictate a little.
  7. Picked up the new release of STP's "Thank You" this weekend. Cool to have that on vinyl now since it's the only album with All in the suit that you wear.
  8. For those who aren't familiar... Generally when prominent bands play any of the festivals at The Indio Polo grounds (Coachella, Stagecoach, Desert/Power Trip) they are contractually unable to play/announce any LA area shows until AFTER said festival is over, hence the news leaking before the official announcement as well as going on sale less than a month before the shows. This is also why GN'R didn't announce the original Dodger Stadium shows until a little later when they played Coachella for their first show back.
  9. It’s going to be the same old gnr show…but at the Hollywood bowl.
  10. I haven’t cared to see them since 2017. This has me very excited though. The bowl is special.
  11. The company I work for just announced our Iron Maiden statues. I was heavily involved in making these from the early business discussions to working with the artists and sculptors, art directing both pieces. It was an absolute blast and I’m stoked we finally announced them. Check it out.
  12. I saw Ugly Kid Joe the other night. It was awesome. First time they have toured the US in 27 years. If you can still catch them, I highly recommend it.
  13. VR x 14 including a few special shows (one in a parking lot, one in their rehearsal space and one at the whisky) Slash solo probably 10x or so including his solo album release show at the roxy. (Was also in the taping for his music video the day before that show). AXL/DC one time Adlers Appetite a handful of times including the anniversary show that duff and Izzy played at Gilby one time a long ass time ago Buckethead once Duff with Loaded, Janes Addiction 2x, etc Camp Freddy quite a few times which always included sorum but slash and duff would show up quite often. Teddy zig-zag at a bar in Tarzana and slash showed up and jammed at like 1 in the morning. in addition to their shows I’ve also seen members show up and jam on a song or 2 with other acts a lot including: Slash with alice cooper, ace frehley, b-real, Joe Perry and a couple others Duff with MC50 Izzy with Aerosmith I’m probably forgetting some. Living where I do has made it really easy to see some really cool and unique stuff though.
