I agree. That’s a very odd combination.

Either G’n’R or Aerosmith should be a great show! I saw them both in the summer of '88 when they toured together (Appetite… & Permanent Vacation tour) - I suppose that is before either you or your girlfriend was born! Wishing you a wonderful, and sober, evening at either of those shows!

I’m still in disbelief honestly. It’s just like an accepted thing that they don’t play here…and here they come! Going to be a busy year, so far we’ve got Hall and Oates with Squeeze, then GNR, and then up to Chicago to see Rod Stewart w/ Cheap Trick.

…and it’s only February! Who knows who else is going to be coming through!

Cheap Trick. Are they still touring?
Can’t be the original lineup?

I saw Heart and Cheap Trick at Six Flags over Georgia when they used to do shows there.

Come to think of it I saw Motley Crue there during their shout at the devil tour.

never going to give up on you bc your never going to give up on you. The fact you are here now tells me it’s not too late for you. We all have a time and a relapse that changes everything, no one knows which one or when but as long as you keep trying it will come along. Took me years of relapsing to find that, this is the one moment. Chin up mate. Let’s have another go. Don’t ever walk away from us, Don’t ever feel guilt or shame bc we’re here to help not judge.

Surprisingly, Cheap Trick has all original members except Bun E. Carlos. They’ve got singer Rick Nielsen’s son, Daxx, as their drummer. I think he’s been with them for a while now, but don’t quote me.

Very, very, very stoked to be seeing him. I know the hits, and grew up hearing him around the house. I never thought I’d get the chance to see him live. Add in the fact that it’s at a solid venue in Chicago, and we’re making a whole weekend out of it…I’m sold!

Well @anon12657779,I just give up on myself, make bad choices ,chose to have a party weekend with an enabling friend, probably the last friend left,as I pretty much have isolated myself due to fuck ups ,insanity from drinking,and I freaked out at my friend,he had been kind before that, I lost the plot a bit,…we’d had a nice time,well nice cos I was hanging out with somebody that knows me quite well,anyway after the freak out,I carried on drinking,till yesterday,(hardest day 1 coz I know I am beaten)…had to finish the gin that had been in the kitchen since Christmas (if you remember last time I wrote that it wasn’t my drink of choice)!well alcohol is alcohol and I consumed another 1/4 bottle of gin bought by me which I never have bought for myself,always have consumed the alcoholic apple type…scared the shite out of myself and here I am…day 2 almost complete…have been honest with my very old recovery friend today and spoken openly to my 11 year old son who said I am an alcoholic.he said today he likes it when I don’t drink .and I do too …not sure exactly why I make bad choices but it’s a mind chatter thing for sure,bullshit,what Eckhart Tolle writes about in the power of Now.:grimacing::grimacing::grimacing::grimacing::grimacing::clown_face::roll_eyes::roll_eyes::pray:
