They'll probably do what they did last time and not bother to announce the cancellation until moments before the gigs though, so don't expect anything soon! 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dean 2,427 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Crazy times folks, though as always, the safety of our families and ourselves should take priority. Our time will come to attend these events that we used to take for granted, hopefully time will show the strides that the government claim to be making. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DurhamGirl 495 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Its not looking good here in the UK, high death rate with no easing of lockdown on the horizon. It looks like 2022. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post Eddie Money 722 Posted January 21 Popular Post Share Posted January 21 Man, just checking for the first time since the pandemic began to read this shit news. I was planning on flying over to Chicago for a little blues at Kingston Mines and a Guns N' Roses show at Wrigley. This pandemic is taking away valuable shelf-life of our aging rock stars. I only like "legacy acts" and they're all starting to sound like shit with age. Fast-forward two years and I'm sure that James Hetfield, Huey Lewis, Joe Elliott, and our beloved Axl will not sound any better than they did in 2019. I hope you are all well and also hope that each of you American forum members don't end up hating yourself too much as you atone for your "white privilege" in the Joe Biden era. 3 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, who needs new bands when you've got geriatrics propping up their retirement funds and "starting to sound like shit" hey? Nothing like watching a knackered Huey Lewis from the back of an Arena in 2021 to get the adrenaline pumping. I'm sure the American forum users are absolutely DEVASTATED at the prospect that they may not have anyone to stir up any more fatal attacks on Washington. What a blow to them.

That's for sure and really the worst thing about it. Most bands and acts I like and want/wanted to see are old too. Alice Cooper, Aerosmith, Scorpions, Queen, Rolling Stones, Diana Ross.... and the ones that aren't aren't exactly young. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Agree we are racing against the clock on our rock bands. Your Biden comment is completely off the mark. Yikes! Thank God we have a chance to go back to normal (or something closer to it) and the unqualified buffoons, conspiracy theorists, and dangerous sycophants are banished from the levers of power. The Biden administration’s intention on taking the pandemic seriously, implement a coordinated COVID mitigation plan, invoke defense production act to accelerate vaccine production, mask mandates, etc at least have a chance of ending this dreadful pandemic sooner than the status quo. “Like a miracle, it will just disappear.” Hasn’t yet 10 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Basically yes, but don’t forget that a) the situation kind of varies from country to country, b) the elderly and the folks with weaker condition go first, c) we still don’t know how long the effect will last and whether there won’t be any side effects in e.g. half a year, d) when you get the vaccine, the official info afaik is that you still can get and/or spread the thing (and have to wear the mask), e) ticket sales, organization, and logistics take time, you can’t do it within like a month… etc. In short, things are still up in the air, literally and figuratively. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's worse for really iconic artists like Rolling Stones and Paul McCartney, McCartney keeps sounding worse and worse live, and a band like the Stones especially a guy like Jagger bring it every night and I am guessing there comes a point they are just not able to bring it anymore, not to mention the very real chance one of their main guys ( Watts, Jagger, Richards) will not be able to play anymore for health reasons, I am not as worried about the 50-60 something rock stars as much And I am not sure what you mean by that last remark, are you suggesting we have these concerts during this pandemic and the reason we are not having them is because there is "anti white discrimination"? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Trust me, here in the UK no-one is being pessimistic when they say these concerts aren't happening this summer. To be honest, given what I read about Covid in the US it seems pretty put of control there too....but at least you've got a guy in charge now who is actually taking immediate action. Vaccines are only the start of the end of this though don't forget, and as mentioned above, there are so many unknowns. There's a long road ahead. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Legendador 290 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Here in Brazil we have Carnaval in February / March, which was obviuosly postponed to July. Yesterday they called it off, so no Carnaval in Brazil in 2021, which means probably no large gatherings for the second semester. Here in São Paulo we are about to enter in a partial lockdown (only for essentials) during the weekends and up to last man vaccined (they are projecting to have the "entire" population vaccined in Brazil / São Paulo maybe, I said maybe february of 2022)!

Yeah well at least my atonement for white privilege led to the election of President Biden who will respect the office of the President of the United States and the Americans with Disabilities Act. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stress Fracture 914 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 The news has been grim in the UK this week and it’s been announced today that the new variant spreading through the land is more deadly. The London and Glasgow shows are basically 100% postponed for another year, presumably along with the rest of the European tour. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
