Duff McKagan, Matt Sorum To Join "'Rock 'N' Roll Allstars" Tour

[D]

Baz is amazing.

In the immortal words of Patrick Swayze's character "Dalton" in the the classic movie "Roadhouse":

"Opinions vary..."

HAHAHA nice Road House quote

 I always quote the great Dalton when he walks in on his bouncer having sex... the dude says.. but i was on my break... Dalton says: "Stay on It" hahahaha

Hopefully they tour in the U.S.  It would be nice to see Duff, Sebastian and Matt at one time.

That would be something akin to a cat getting it's tail pulled while scratching it claws on a chalkboard.

Well, I don't think I'm going to have you sell it.

I'm not sure anyone could sell The Savage Animal attempting a Cult song, that would be cruel an unusual punishment that would lead to humans hurling themselves off mountain tops and dogs throwing themselves into oncoming traffic.

For your sake, I hope it doesn't happen.  I'm guessing you're one of those people.

But it does appear that Sebastian Bach and Billy Duffy are now in the same band -- I think that's all you can take.

Yes, I am one of those people - the mere thought of it makes me want to puke.

As for them being in the same "band", i consider it more of a collection of musicians performing songs from each's catalog at a few selected shows.

Now if they decided to write and record original music I may have to be put on suicide watch.

The Savage Animal singing a Cult song? 

How dare you speak/request of such heresy!!

First, I'll have to decide which Cult song would do Sebastian's voice justice.

And they'll be video:

Glenn Hughes ‏

There will be 44 people ~ Band : crew: film crew: travelling with us on the south:central american tour..a rock n' roll circus for sure...

Matt said in the press conference video that Glenn Hughes will be handling the vocals on the Cult sings that they play.

We wouldn't want that.

Whatever gets you through the tour.

Thanks for the heads up.

Rock ?N? Roll Allstars Tour: Tentative Setlist Leaked by Promoter

We recently reported that rock legends such as Duff McKagan, Sebastian Bach, Gene Simmons and many more are planning to embark on the Rock ?N? Roll Allstars tour in Central and South America. To get fans even more excited, a tentative setlist has been released (spoiler alert), featuring some of the most celebrated songs in rock history.
 
The Rock ?N? Roll Allstars tour is a unique experiment, allowing current and former members of bands such as Guns N? Roses, KISS, Deep Purple, Alice in Chains and more to share the stage with one another. During a March 1 press conference held at the Roxy in Hollywood, Calif., some of the rockers participating in the tour were able to share their excitement with fans.
 
?For me to be the singer in Gene Simmons? first-ever side project is amazing to me!,? raved ex-Skid Row singer Sebastian Bach. ?Dreams come true, indeed.?
 
Velvet Revolver / ex-Guns N? roses drummer Matt Sorum also projected his anticipation for the upcoming gigs. ?In my opinion we?ve got what I would call the greatest rock ?n? roll tour in my era, in my distant memory. All in one shot too.?
 
KISS bassist-singer Gene Simmons also gave a statement at the special press conference. ?It is our honor to step up on stage ? hallowed ground, holy ground in front of our bosses. We?re doing all this for the fans. This hearkens back to a magical moment in rock ?n? roll history when the great Alan Freed allowed the legends of rock ?n? roll Chuck Berry, Little Richard and all the greats on stage together. The fans got the best shows of their lives.?
 
South American promoters Premier Producciones revealed a tentative setlist for the Guatemalan date of the Rock ?N? Roll Allstars tour, which begins on April 19 in Paraguay. Check out the monster setlist below.


 Duff McKagan ? ?It?s So Easy?
 Sebastian Bach ? ?Welcome to the Jungle?

Jesus Christ, that hack has one hell of an ego. I wouldn't mind catching Duff, Gilby and maybe Sebastian, but this does not hearken back to the days of Chuck Berry and Little Richard.
Who's the Chuck Berry in this case? Gene Simmons? Fuck me. Chuck is a legend, Gene is a hack on his best day.
He's a good business man, I'll give him that, but all Kiss did was cash in on a look others created, and a sound they watered down for commercial appeal. Kiss sucksssssss.

In my humble opinion of course.

I could do without  ?I Remember, ?Youth Gone Wild?, ?Knockin? on Heavens Door? but that's just me..

As blood curdling as that is, this shot of Billy cancels that out:

I love all those songs!
