THIS is nailing Hard To Handle: Yes all bands tour for money, but that's totally beside the point here. I believe I understand what you’re saying. These two getting together has no motive but cash. They both were in Howard Stern and stated they wanted to be in each other lives. That there own kids have never met, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They literally cut out all living Crowes members just to make more money for themselves. Yes, I realize that's rich coming from a GNR fan, but I've made me feelings clear about NITL as well. Anyways, I watched the Stern interview and I just don't buy what they're saying. Everything about this is the exact opposite of what the Crowes were all about. On the Stern interview, they just looked like two dudes getting paid to say things to support this tour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opinions about NITL withstanding, I feel chemistry between Axl, Slash, and Duff. I don’t feel it between those two guys. And cutting out the other guys is a fucked move to say the least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's a giant bummer. I'd agree with what you're saying about Axl, Slash & Duff too. The interview itself with Rich & Chris was just what you said.... off. Then the actual performances of the songs are just completely lifeless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And cutting out the other guys is a fucked move to say the least. yeah but to be fair, Axl going near Slash at the first show was extremely awkward. I'm not a huge crowes fans so I don't have strong feelings, so for me I'm like, who cares if they ditched the drummer? As long as the new one sounds good (unlike frank) then its cool. The two main songwriters are there which you can't say about NITL. I saw Chris play with Joe Perry at Joe's album release show in 2018 and that was awesome. If you haven'y seen the videos, check it out. Edited November 13, 2019 by Stiff Competition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured I'd start a thread though in case anyone wants to discuss it and/or argue with me lol https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/black-crowes-2020-reunion-tour-dates-910124/ Never before have I gone from SUPER excited to SUPER disappointed in such a short time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read that one and find out what the Robinson brothers are really like... Any good shoplinks for this? Looks like it's either really expensive (listed for 40 euro's on my local bookstore's website) or poorly available (wrong titles, only digital editions on the Dutch amazon...). I just want an English version. Preferably paperback, but hardcover is also fine. Edit: Hmmm, US Amazon + international shipping comes at just over 30 euro's. But this should be doable a lot cheaper.

It is a new release so its currently only available in hardcover. I don't know about international shipping with Barnes and Noble, but if this helps you: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/hard-to-handle-steve-gorman/1131939984?ean=9780306922008#/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAU3R Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Any plans for Europe? Or are the US shows the only ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
