I'm actually also looking forward to the Hedley Concert. I plan on going to both Crue and Hedley.

You write about garbage coming in jan. but there is no review on the Dropkick Murphy show last night. PATHETIC

@ RuAwake they may be old but they just like any other older rock band still know how to put on a killer show.

I like the Crue but, it seems like their tour bus is always parked here and they are always HERE. Let's face it - nothing really great after Dr. Feelgood so it's more an oldies show. Hit and miss live at best. I already know HUGE fans that are not going because "I'll catch them next year cause it's an annual thing".

Is it just me or is Mick Mars looking more corps like? He one of the greats but, he doesn't look well despite his treatments for his back. Hopefully he's OK.

Some of the best performances that I have seen is by the older groups. They've been around, know how to please a crowd, and are just good showmen.

CrueFest was awesome last year! WAS looking forward to CrueFest2 .......This set-up Bites! I woulda paid another $120 to see CrueFest2, what, ..... with the 'other' UP N Coming bands.......to bad GODSMACK showed them up on the American version Tour....no way this time(by themselves)....I'd rather see Axl and his touring Circus

awesome Photoshop detailer ya got there Vince!

Too many big concerts at MTS Centre! Where are people getting the money for all these tickets for these acts coming to town the past few years? I thought we're all supposed to be super cheap and poor! That's certainly the reputation we have anyways...

U2 is just as old.

This band is amazing live, all the doubters I took to the last Crue show loved it!
