Rob Halford at House of Blues Chicago

[nomisofsiman]

I just noticed on my ticketmaster updates that he'll be playing a headline set at the House of Blues in Chicago on December 9 as well as a couple of other dates that are listed on his website. Ironically though, he doesn't list the Chicago date, but I'm guessing it just hasn't been updated yet. The other dates are:

Wed Nov. 10 - Seattle, WA - The Showbox

Sat Dec. 04 - Allentown, PA - Crocodile Rock

Wed. Dec 15 - Denver, CO - Ogden Theater

Fri. Dec. 17 - Los Angeles, CA - Wiltern Theater

Sat. Dec. 18 - San Diego, CA - 4th & B

Sun. Dec. 19 - Anaheim, CA - The Grove of Anaheim

WOW!!! Nice.
Will have to seriously consider this.
Not terribly familiar with his solo stuff, but big enough of a Priest fan that I would like to see him live, esp at the HOB, which is always a great venue for a gig.

 

[DuchessOfDork]

He's made of metal, like a laser beam!

Yeah, you know I'll be there. As I always say to you if nothing else, check out Resurrection. If you like Priest, there is no way you won't like Resurrection. And considering he is doing a headline set, he probably will pull out some Priest songs.

And agreed. HOB is probably my favorite Chicago venue.

Just saw this is $45.

Gotta love the fees. I'm gonna try to get the tickets in person at HOB on Sunday when I'm in the city.

I was gonna say, that sounds like a Simon show.

I am very predictable when it comes to anything Rob Halford-related as you have learned by now.

That's pretty expensive, even for a super sonic silver flying machine.

$33 is the price before the fees, which isn't too bad considering his clout being with Priest and all. But yeah, $45 with the fees is crazy. I don't know who the opener will be, but I know on some of these it's been Dave Lombardo's side project, which I still find a little odd.

And btw DuchessofDork, as much as I love most of his material, I truly hate that song.

But he's made of metal, it's a Nascar dream!

Tht doesn't make him a redneck.

I am very predictable

Why make the sentences wordy when you can just get the point across with this?

Tell that to whoever wrote that song! My guitarist thinks someone bet him a few thousand bucks that he couldn't write a song about Nascar, aliens, and a gorilla.

Boy did Rob prove that guy wrong..

Why is a tour going from LA to SD and back to Anaheim? how stupid.

Yeah, $33 is a bit better.
Also, that is so close to holidays where extra $$$$ is usually not abundant.

A solid opener would be needed I think for me to check this one out.

Wow... it looks like I need to check that song out. Why? I don't know. It's just so bizarre, it sounds like a bad Holywood movie or an awesome South Park episode.

Supposedly from an interview he did, the lyrics were quite different originally, and the guy who did the video came up with this Nascar theme and Halford then changed them significantly.
