Bon Voyage WellREDman, Sleepytom & Bruce

[RayV]

Rovastar on the "The future direction of VJCentral/Forums" thread:

IF VJ XYZ said I am doing a 3 and a half month North Americian stadium tour with a high profile (but aging ) band to millions of people will it make you happy that they are regular memebers here?

I was wondering if all of you guys wouldn't mind to read the adventures of VJ XYZ
As many already know by now - XYZ stands for:
WellREDman, Sleepytom & Bruce
on a tour with Def Leppard, In Amerika,

I thought a Tour-blog here ,
Could be pretty amusing to read, innit?
Something along the line of a VJ tour blog / even a book ????
= an English men in Amerika /
"Fear and Loathing in ______" ..
or something ala Jack Kerouac

I do hope they enjoy the sex & drugs sides of things
if they go for Rock roll.. & maybe even share with us parts of their juicy adventures & pictures???
*Well, regards sex of course I DO NOT refer to the happily married ;)

This an invitation for "them" or one of them to do so,
I do hope "they" have the time to do it.
(On the tour- bus maybe? on the plane?)

I confess that chatting about it with VJ XYZ who is too shy,
Brought me to strat this thread,

Anyone else would be interested in reading it on our forums?

Finger Crossed for you all & I hope u would NOT break a leg ;)

[mondo]

good luck guys
come back sane!!

[thomase]

Good luck and how about a VJ-Rockumentary???

[krezrock]

Keep your heads up mates. It's gonna be long hours.

And never open anyone's bunk, unless you want to see an episode of "bunk puppet theatre".

[Amukidi]

Bugger - didn't invoice them in time!!
Have a great time boys (if you're reading this, which I know you won't be). Ah, the smell of the tour-bus toilet chemicals......!

[Kyle]

Rock On....:yep:

[wellREDman]

I am many things but shy is NOT one of em

theres a difference between being shy and trying to not be vain,

ray has been hassling me to do a tourdiary thread, but im not sure, to me it seems too egotistical, but if you guys really want me to i will try and sort it out

[syzygy]

DO IT!

I will be disapointed if its not full of stories of 24 hour partying, ridiculous rider requests and nights spent in smalltown sherrifs cells.

Make up such stories if neccessary please.

[RayV]

thats a bit unfair Red - hassling ?
talked to u about it one time -
& u asked me to open this thread for you not to come across vain
but we both thought it can be a great book :)

& i didnt invoice u on time as well!

as Dan said - Just do it :)

[wellREDman]

ok i will do something, but not for the first few days/weeks, were halfay thru rehearsal and i still dont have anything like what I'd call a show, not to mention projector technical nightmares, which on this scale are very nightmarish,
so i'll bring you the first installment of Fear and weirdness in Def Leppard at a point where the fear and weirness isnt all consuming

[vjpixylight]

well I can't seem to find the fear and loathing thread so I'll post here:)

I just wanted to thank Red and Co. for the invite to see the show here in Denver!!!

was quite a treat to see and hear about the inner workings of the tour and the last 6 months of what had transpired!:)
definately hope that Red does keep a journal of the crazy life on the road in Amerika!

[LEVLHED]

it was just down the page (http://www.vjforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=11902) a bit, man
but wasn't updated for quite awhile

is the tour done yet??

[LEVLHED]

nope tour (http://www.defleppard.com/tour/index.html) is not done yet, looks like they get to go to Mexico yet before going home

[sleepytom]

no we don't go to mexico - going home after vegas for some kind of vesa complexity type reason.

today we are in new mexico at some kind of rodeo center - dodgy cowboys all around and adverts on the walls selling horse seman (really!)

[littlecatalyst]

...don't give the band any ideas tom!

[Kyle]

Damn, I was hoping for some Donkey Show pics from Mexico.:P
