    That's a hell of a big practical joke then! Just think of all the venues, not to mention ebay scalpers, who were involved! :rolleyes:

    I'm hoping the Aprils Fools is that Ed will be ably backed by Stone and Jeff and Drummer Matt Cameron (oh and Mike too). But, then again I'm the queen of wishful thinking.

    It's hard to not speculate that this could be the deal... or something like it.

    We'll all be happy campers then, huh????

    Except no. Not on this board.

    Thinking along these lines...could be possible that Ed's backing band is the rest of the guys, and it ends up being a small PJ tour?

    Could just be the greatest thing in the history of modern civilization...would make more sense to me if Liam wasn't announced as the guest...then we could have an Ed ITW mini-set followed by the band...with Liam on board, I dunno...seems like a long shot - would they actually try and pull something like that off - let's not pretend for a SECOND a lot of people here wouldn't be outraged though - nature of the Pit

    There would be a lot of people who would be pissed. Those of us who didn't even try for tix cause it is an Ed solo tour, and not the full band.

    It will be an Ed solo tour people! End of story!

    The April fools part will be that Bret Michaels will be singing backup.

    Liam is the opener... Still plenty of time for EV and PJ.. The only reason anyone here would have a reason to be pissed is because they didn't take a chance on the April Fools aspect of these shows like those of us who are going did..

    good point. Considering I am going to 3 shows, I would be ecstatic - but...I can't even let myself get excited about this...it is too crazy. And why even tweet it? Isn't the point of April Fools, to actually make a joke on April 1st?
