Excellent news!! Keep us posted, please.
how about if i become a manager of the band? i can deal with those petulent adult kids! goodbye tour sounds great. then you can reunite again! or maybe you can find less petulent kids to play with less high profile. i am sure you'll make something good out of this in the end anyway!
grrr, damn, i think i posted after reading the first page only.... silly fool.
and to you, bear: congrats! at least i was right that all will turn out well. now i'll go embarass myself into other forums.
Fantastic! Who else will be playing with you? Make sure that you inform us, Bear!

Wow Bear, I feel for you. It would kill me if I couldn't sing anymore. I have found though...just when things seem the worst up from the proverbial ashed new and better things emerge.
Believe it or not, I just joined a pipe band. I'm learning to play the bagpipes. Not that I'm recommending you try it, but I'm fooling around with musical boundaries and having a great time learning. I've met so many musicians in the last little while that aren't surfing on the ego wave and the collaborations are amazing. Within the next few months I will be recording some cool tracks.
So keep your chin up, you never know what will happen. Never say never Bear! Maybe one day when can work together. Now that would be fun!!
Ceili.
Ceili you need to spend more time here...stunniingly attractive musicians like us add a certain quality to life......but I can't carry the entire load by myself.....
Hi Ceili! Glad you're OK, was worried about you.
(Actually I just logged on and have only seen this post, HOPE everything's OK...)
And glad that something's happening for you, BPB, good for you bein' proactive and everything.
I'm inspired. I'm going to dig out my old guitar and see whether I still remember the dozen or so chords I learned back in '67.
Wait a minute. I just remembered how much my fingertips used to hurt till they calloused up.
Never mind.
It's like being in a relationship. Except you don't have sex with your band, (unless you have a female lead singer and you are both addicted to coke).
Luckily I'm a drummer so I am not expected to write songs or contribute any kind of creative input beyond slamming the hell out of the drums. And as a drummer I am also expected not to get laid. Then again the bassist has it worse in that department, but I digress.
Let me say this; the rock n' roll shoes drop you, not you them.
It's time to write songs about kicking ex-bandmates asses.

Er, hello, one-time keyboardist here...
By the way, what do you call someone with no talent who hangs out with musicians?
A drummer.
Well I am a lead singer, and although over the years I had more than a few opportunities for that type of loose sexual behavior, those that know me know that during those heady times I was the standard by which gentlemanly behavior was measured in Hair metal musicians.
Since the new project is to make money and is to be an eighties hair metal tribute, we are taking on new stage names. The female I hired I am naming Cheri Burst. Our guitarist is Tommy Glaze. Drummer is Dave "Dirty" Needles. No name for the bass player yet, but if I say so myself I love the stage name I have chosen...Bon Snott.
What do you think?
Oh I'm all for it, Bi-Polar.
That rules that you were in a for-real, hair metal band before it became ironic.
There was a good eighties hair metal band in town here called, "Spread Eagle"--which is the coolest name ever. I think they still play for money occasionally, though some are in serious eighties hardcore bands.
And yes, patiodog, it is the sad sad truth. But at least I'm a good person. Wait, no I'm not.
But I don't know exactly where the keyboardist falls in line. The last keyboardist I saw on stage was the dude from The Faint and he looked like a serious metrosexual. He played one note with one hand and then just shook his ass. If you're like that guy you probably got tons of play, from girls who like gay dudes.
If you had talent and self-respect, well, then, at least you're not a miserable drummer such as me.
Nah, I used two fingers. You had to hit them damn Rhodes keys hard.
Good-on-yer, by the way, bear.
Whoa, blast from the past.
who dug this up and why I wonder.... well I've not been in any bands since except for the occasional Cirkus reunion... I play a solo deal whenever I have time and once in a while a duet with a buddy... the plain truth is I can get triple the money for dj work..... mores the pity.
wow.
this is old.
you still wear shoes?
