Lio Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Go if you like him. He won't live forever, you know.Regarding Lenny: I keep checking the new members, but I'm guessing he's not slashforever either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magisme Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Thing is, I'm not all that into him. I don't dislike him, of course; I just don't really listen to him. But it's Chuck Fucking Berry. That's something. But he's 900 years old. That's something too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

username Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Chuck Berry plays tomorrow night at his regular joint. Think that's worth paying like $50-60 and going to see?Edit: If ever I needed Len back to pump me up.... Yes and no. I've paid roughly the same for him and I'm very happy I did. He's an absolute legend. His shows can be anywhere from 30 to 75 minutes. Rarely longer. It's not a technical guitar-fest either. But he did have his daughter and son in the band, which was great. Objectively, it was an ok bit short gig. But I just look back at it as an immensely feel-good rock and roll experience with one of the few living greats of rock and roll. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's something. But he's 900 years old. That's something too.Len would give you a ten page diatribe as to why you should go (of course).The truth is, if you're not that into him, save your cash. It's not a great show.I've seen him a few times, honestly, it can be underwhelming, (but I am thankful and glad that I got to see him live).Unless you are an appreciative fan, he might not blow your mind.BUT, if you want bragging rights to the fact that you saw a living legend of rock n roll, a cat who helped bring it to the masses and woke a bland generation out of their parents' Doris Day stupor...then yeah, check him out. He deserves that respect.Just have a few beers first, and you won't cringe at his guitar playing as much. I'll tell you this though, if Chuck Berry was in the joint down the road from me tonight, I'd absolutely be there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Drama Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 1. Go mags. Think about the greatest of the greats. You can't see Elvis, you can't see the Beatles, you can't see Hendrix, you probably can't see Zeppelin. But you can definitely see Chuck Berry and The Stones. 2. Why don't you care about KOL, Russ?

Why don't you care about KOL, Russ?They're just not really my thing. I like a few songs off the newest album and the one before it though. My friend loves them and doesn't really have anyone to go with so I figured I'd go on the chance they'll play some of the tunes I dig.
