Looks like I may never see my all time favorite bands one last time
I have seen every tour since Blow Up your Video(except Stiff Upper Lip) when I was 12.

You missed the Stiff Upper Lip tour? That was the best one.

Brian stepped down the night before I was supposed to see them (Atlanta). If the show went on with a different singer, I probably would've gone, just because I'd already made plans to go...but honestly, the absence of THREE core members would've been pushing it. I ended up getting a refund...

I guess Cliff knows when enough is enough...unlike Brian, Mal, and Phil, at least he'll get to exit on his own terms. Who would've thunk that their answer to "Rock Or Bust" would end up being "Bust", lol...

This is the issue of all of these bands from the 70's and 80's. These guys are just old now and some just can't or don't feel the need to go on any longer. Can't blame them honestly.

Imagine paying almost $100 a ticket to see Foreigner and not having one single original member on stage playing. (Mick wasn't to full heath at that time).

Never mind current Foreigner, I couldn't imagine paying $100 even if they reunited. It'd be too much of a crap shoot, wondering what bandmembers would be healthy enough to take the stage on any given night, lol...god bless him, but Lou looked rough the last time I saw him on a stage, and that was years ago...

AC/DC died long ago. When they were putting out garbage like Sink the Pink, Metallica were just finishing up recording Master of Puppets. That was in 1985. Not sorry for not caring.
