Got the LDs for Vancouver $80 for 2 tickets. 

Go to the stones website, tour section and try the lucky dips for Vancouver. 

Sold out... I was able to click for a set then they sold out before my page reloaded..

Nevermind 5th refresh is the charm! Got tickets

Waited for 30 minutes in ticket masters queue only to be shown upper bowl tickets in vancouver at $450+ Canadian at the back of the stadium. Ticketmaster needs to quit with this fluctuating pricing bullshit

They'll probably be 'regular price' tomorrow, I don't know why they're all so expensive now. I'm guessing the 'regular' pre-sale tickets sold out fairly quickly. We just got the cheapest tickets as quickly as possible lol.

I'm hoping so

My buddy got us tickets this morning during the pre-sale. We're sitting at the back of the upper bowl and tickets were just over $70 each (about $55 US).

Been looking at the tickets for Vancouver, they are bloody ludacris in pricing. I'm hoping to get some tickets tomorrow when the general sale occurs

Looks like I won't be able to go see Alter Bridge due to some scheduling issues  But I picked up some tickets to see Roger Waters so that sort of makes up for missing AB for the 3rd time in a row.

 

2020 Shows

1. Sebastian Bach
2. Alice Cooper w/ Lita Ford
3. Journey w/ The Pretenders
4. Ozzy Osrbourne w/ Marilyn Manson
5. Def Leppard and Motley Crue w/ Poison and Joan Jett
6. Roger Waters

Potential Additions

1. Scorpions w/ Queensryche- Vegas
2. Aerosmith - Vegas
3. Alter Bridge - If the do canadian tour
4. Queensrcyhe - If they finally do a Canadian tour or nearby in the states on a weekend...
5. Dream Theater - Same as Queesnrcyhe
6. Foreigner w/ Kansas and Europe 

2020 is looking to be a potentially super strong year for shows although 2019 will be hard to beat

Added GNR inbetween Ozzy and Def Leppard. Going to be Adding The Rolling Stones between Alice and Journey. Also found out Skid Row will be nearby around the same time that I see Sebastian so I might be able to see both Skid Row and Sebastian within 3 weeks of each other which would be super cool.

The only CD songs I've yet to hear live are irs, scraped, and Riad. IRS is the one I'd really like to hear Slash on.

I’d love to hear Maddy and Prostitute from CD. In addition to Shadow, Dead Horse and Locomotive. You’re Crazy would be cool as well but I’m not as big of a fan of that track compared to the other 4.

Wasn’t prostitute only played once in 2017 tho?

15 times. In October and November 2017

Got Seattle tickets

While I would love new music I for one quite enjoyed both NITL shows which I had the opportunity to see both concerts have great stories surrounding them for me which also helps. I likely will see them again this year because quite frankly it still is amazing in some regard that Slash and Axl are on stage together.

Is Ozzy still able to do this tour?

I highly doubt it but he hasn't cancelled the show yet so I'm holding out for it

From the IORR news today:

 

The Rolling Stones are working on a tour in North America lasting from May to July 2020, rumoured to be announced next week. Cities rumoured for shows are San Diego, St. Louis, Atlanta, Cleveland, Louisville, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Baltimore, Nashville, Charlotte, Tampa and Atlanta, all USA, and Vancouver Canada.

 

Thank fuck for the Vancouver show, I’m not traveling on this leg.... 

I really hope Vancouver does get a show I missed them in Seattle and really would like to see the Stones once before they are done

Likely will try to go to the Seattle show, have the next day off so may as well see them again, it will have been 3 years since they were this far north on the west coast

2020 is looking to be a potentially super strong year for shows although 2019 will be hard to beat

Bought my dad and I tickets to see Roger. Will be his fathers day present so I think I might win "top Son" once again... Last year was The Who and the year prior was Robert Plant

1. Civil War
2. Nightrain
3. Dead Horse
4. Coma
5. Madagasgar
6. Shadow Of Your Love
7. November Rain
8. Patience
9. It's So Easy
10. Estranged
11. You Could Be Mine
12. Locomotive
13. Don't Cry [Alt]
14. Prostitute
15. Rocket Queen

Only 4 songs from the original Greatest hits make my cut. Although what I would do if this could be a double with the original Would be the following 4 changes

1. Civil War -> Think About You
2. November Rain - > My Michelle
3. Patience -> One In A Million
4. You Could Be Mine -> Out Ta Get Me

But they would need to release a single before an album, that what most bands do. I think a new song would a step on the right direction

Honestly GNR would probably just go and release an album without a single, it is the first Axl and Slash new material since 1991, thats huge and will generate a fair bit of hype. Plus when does GNR do things that make sense

Lyrics but the music has to work with it. Sometimes music is what does it but normally it is due to the power of the lyrics

2020

• Sebastian Bach - March

Sebastian Bach is coming back to my city in March. Tickets are $35. The last show he did here (about 3 years ago) was a blast and I'm sure this one will be too. And he's still playing the full debut Skid Row album

I missed last time, hopefully I'll be able to get to the show this time

Only bought 9 CD's that came out this year, and most I don't listen to very much that being said 1 of them was amazing and that one happens to be Alter Bridge - Walk The Sky

The Garden By Rush
