Saw Isbell at 713 in Houston on Sunday night. Show was awesome. That venue rules too.

The Stadium Tour - Def Leppard, Motley Crue, Poison, Joan Jett, and Classless Act - at Wrigley last Friday. Originally scheduled for August 2020, postponed twice by covid.
Worth the wait!
Joan Jett still sounds good, Poison is fun and fantastic.
Crue was good, but the sound mixing was terrible. WAY too much bass and kick drum. And Vince forgets lyrics.
Def Leppard was the best IMO, but they're our faves. They have a new album and played some new songs, plus the old faves. And on point as always.
Agreed. Great venue. I saw Ben Rector there last month. Sound was good; seats were comfortable with plenty of room. Getting in and out of the venue was smooth.Counterpoint said:

I never understood why singers need prompters for songs They wrote. Forgetting lyrics is sorta cool if you're DIamond Dave, but prompters for songs you've sang hundreds of times Vince?62strat said:MooreTrucker said:

Headlines just came out that Vince was using prompters for lyrics (which was stupid because tons of people do.. Hetfield has for 20 years. )
And he's still not getting them right?
30-40 years is a long time. Does he know the words to girls girls girls? Probably yes.. but when they bust out some lesser played song, I see nothing wrong with prompters.Aust Ag said:I never understood why singers need prompters for songs They wrote.

At this point it would be a surprise for either of them not to be involved but there are no contracts signed and nothing is official. Some people behind the scenes have diarrhea of the mouth and at least one person has already lost their job over the leaks.62strat said:

straight from Zak's mouth lol.

Who cares. Verbal/handshake is good enough to let it out.Know Your Enemy said:
I know what Zakk said but I can tell you with 100% certainty that no contracts have been signed, including his.
Not when one of the parties can shut down the entire tour by refusing to sign off on it. They are still negotiating the details at this point and not everyone involved is willing to sign off willy nilly. Certain things will need to be agreed to before it will be official and that hasn't happened yet. Like I said, I would be surprised if it didn't happen at this point but it is not a guarantee as of last night when another conference call took place. Believe me or don't believe me.

I don't know, does Mick Mars or Hammett use the equivalent of prompters to know what notes to play?62strat said:30-40 years is a long time. Does he know the words to girls girls girls?

Metallica is the goat to me, and James has been using them for 2 decades. When they bust out lepper messiah, trapped under ice or shortest straw, I mean I'm a hardcore fan and I forget those words sometimes.
He ain't using it for enter sandman or nothing else matters. They guy has written lyrics for 100 songs, big deal he forgets some.

no, they just **** it up lol. Or, for the case of many musicians, like McCready, or Mayer, it's called improvising.

We saw Van Halen (the Sammy Hagar version) years ago, and Eddie wandered so far off track in one of his solos that Sammy was like "wtf???" and it took a couple of minutes for him to remember where he was and get back on track and back into the song. Truth to tell, though, it was pretty awesome.62strat said:

But you don't have social media going nuts and bashing Hammett when he doesn't nail a solo.
In the case of Hetfield, he's singing and playing, sometimes soloing.
I'm not worked up over any of this. I'm a nobody but when it comes to this situation I have a source that's as reliable as it gets so I thought I would share what I could to help those around here who were getting upset over this thing happening and how it was happening. I'm fine either way. It won't be Pantera without Dime and Vinnie (which is why it will not be called Pantera) but I will definitely go to the show if/when it happens because I love the music and respect the musicians involved.62strat said:lol. ok man. we get it, you know some dude who knows that a contract hasn't been signed yet as of a conference call last night.Know Your Enemy said:Not when one of the parties can shut down the entire tour by refusing to sign off on it.
