    They just announced a package tour with STP, Bush & The Cult.   For the L.A. area, they are doing a 30,000 seat outdoor venue located about 40 miles east of downtown L.A.      A bit ambitious, IMHO.
    that place is going to be half empty at BEST.

    Took a break from the new album for a bit but put it back on for a run today, still think it's a solid album. One thing I found to be ironic is there's a strong desire for BO'B to produce their work again over on the Below Empty forum where the majority here would like to see PJ try another producer.

    The tour with Bush and The Cult, not sure how that will do. I know a few Cult tunes but never really got into them. Gavin and whoever is playing with him now, I dunno. I listened to them up through Golden State, a couple of the comeback singles I heard didn't do anything for me though.

    I went to the show in Portland last month and it was pretty awesome. Jeff is a good fit for the band, and I'm looking forward to the summer tour with Bush, Alice in Chains (Washington shows only), and The Cult.

    Set up to fail from the get go. Who the hell booked that? Are any of those bands bigger than a few thousand(at best) on their own? Even if there’s no crossover between the fans, you’re looking at 10k if everybody that’s interested goes through with a ticket purchase.

    That triple headliner would have sold a lot of tickets in the 90s. I like them all.

    I've never seen Bush, and would like to.  Might of been temped if they were in the area.   As for STP, it's tough. I have to take time off work, pay for travel/hotel to see bands.  It's a hard sell to myself, to do it for the new lineup.  22 year old me had no problem driving to Portland, OR to see the original STP lineup back in the day.. lol.

    I saw Bush last year when they played Showbox Sodo and they were pretty awesome, so I'm definitely excited about this summer's tour. I saw STP a few years ago when Chester was singing, and I enjoyed it even though it was strange to think of Scott not being with them. Jeff seems to be a good fit, though. When the Portland show was announced in December it didn't look like they were going to be touring Seattle anytime soon, so I decided to go for it. What a show they put on that night! Definitely worth the drive.

    They just announced a Canadian tour. I said to myself that I would only go of there was a local date. Low and behold they're coming to my butt fuck town and playing a 1300 capacity venue. I never thought I would entertain the idea of going to see STP without Scott but I figured what the fuck. It's a 15 minute drive. Not sure if I'm excited or not but just going to go with flow for this one.

    Watched/Listened to a few live shows with JG. No denying his voice is great and seems to be a great fit in the band. Not a huge fan of his on stage antics though. Just be you man. No need to strut around the stage like SW used to.

    The songs he's singing may be making him want to strut though. What if that's just what comes natural?

    My first and only show was during the Family Values Tour in 2001. I had to endure a lot of boring music to see the main act. It was a pretty good show. It also gave us an early glimpse to Chester Bennington guesting on a song throughout the tour cycle. It didn't surprise me when he eventually became their then new vocalist.
    i have witnessed some performances. i have soaked up a lot of memories.

    I'd love to go see STP on this tour, but man, I really don't want to have to sit through 3 other post-grunge bands to do so (Seether, Default, and one other one). I may wait until they tour on their own.

    The 'one other one' must be Age of Days? I would personally wait for a headlining tour because it seems you do not want to sit through three post-grunge bands. I don't blame you.

    I just hesitate doing the "I will see them next time". 

    it bit me in the ass with TOTD, Soundgarden, Scott Weiland solo, the last time STP were here, etc.

    I agree. I wouldn't be going if it wasn't so convenient. Don't really care for the openers either but at the end of the day 75% of the band is the original lineup. After listening to some of their newer live shows I have no doubt that it's going to be awesome.
