Guess that settles that. I was certain that it was GN'R related when he started posting stuff yesterday.

Like I said in the other thread, I could swear I saw Florentine last night just down from me, going back and forth up the stairs to get drinks n' shit, then going back under the stage with a VIP/BSP card on.

I think live shows are always going to be what this band (like most replacement bands) is ultimately going to be known for.  They will never have a big hit again, but they can tour literally for years if they choose to do it right off the hits.  They may release albums to mild success, but they will ultimately be known as a great cover band and a good time for the passive fan.

Yeah, but that seems to be the case with most bands that have had their peak in popularity. Only you throw in stuff like "cover band" and "replacement bands" in your very predictable boring manner of trying to bait and jumpstart a discussion.

The topic have been discussed to the point of yaaawwning...

AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Metallica etc etc are not filling arenas and/or stadiums with people wanting to hear the new songs.

You have some exceptions now and then. U2 had and album some years ago (was it "All That You Can't Leave Behind"?), that had some surprising huge hits.

Same thing with Aerosmith's "Get A Grip", a surprising big selling album from a band that had seen its peak in popularity.

LOL - do you know anything about Aerosmith?  Get a Grip followed up one of their more successful albums and tours.  If you're going to try to make a point, don't make yourself look silly with one of your examples.

It is what it is.  Only you (and a few others) deny what it is.  bands that are in that situation have (with one exception that I'm aware of in AC/DC) ALL fallen into that profile.  take Journey for example.  People go to see the shows.  They release mildly successful albums that have even received critical praise.  It just doesn't matter because people (in general) don't consider it to be Journey.  Doesn't mean they don't put on a good show - they do.  I saw them and Neal Schon was way better than I ever thought he was.  But it's still not really Journey.

Just browsed halfway through that list. Didn't see many acts that could say to Eddie: "Cancel all your upcoming shit, gather your boys and fly down here!"

Good point. I hope you're right.

Isn't Eddie good friends with the Buckcherry guys? ....

ohhhh intriguing
