Powerage5 Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 I may try to make the Pittsburgh show. Don't know if I'll be able to though, I'm flying out a couple days later for the opening night of Rush's tour in Tulsa.
Mysteron Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 I love the Replacements, I hope they do more dates in the UK. London is a long drive, hate the M25, yada yada.
Jakey Styley Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Ooo, they're performing in Philly at a really nice place, I think I'll go see them.
dando Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 I love the Replacements, I hope they do more dates in the UK. London is a long drive, hate the M25, yada yada.Most bands think London is the only place in the UK That's the problem
dalsh327 Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Contact the tour promoters in Manchester, maybe they don't know there's a demand to see them there.
Nosaj Thing Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Terribly boring band. And just like VR, I will never understand how they have so many fans out there. 2
Mysteron Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Terribly boring band. And just like VR, I will never understand how they have so many fans out there.At the same time, if we all liked the same bands, the world would be a boring placeI sometimes enjoy the challenge of understanding why people like music I do not like. Once upon a time, I would go out and buy the album of the month in a random rock magazine to see if I can relate to the review. Ever since, I have been a fan of Nomeansno, and other odd bands. It is fun 1
Słash Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 So if Axl's band plans to do shows on these days, then it means Duff can be back, I know there is no GNR touring in the next few months, but if they toured then it would have been great to see Duff back
