Yeah...a few years ago I saw one of the early gigs with the new Foghat lineup. My expectations were as high as a trip hazard, but they really were good. My opinion was reinforced when Foghat started supplementing playing at rib festivals with being an opener at some stadium shows last year. Their drummer Roger Earl is the weak link, lose him and they've got a chance!
Pistols without Lydon. I'm not going to prematurely judge based on Frank Turner replacing Johnny. I'll go to the show and they will playing one of my favorite albums. If it sucks, it sucks...if it's great then I win.
Sparks just announced North American dates. I've seen them twice and both are totally memorable. This will be their first time in Cleveland since '82..yes, I was there!
