MadDog2020 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/inde...len-tour-kaput/ I figured they'd at least play the first show before the tour de-railed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadDog2020 Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share Posted August 21, 2007 Eddie is sick, cancer, I think..... its too bad. He is the greatest guitarist of all time, this is not debatable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puckrock Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Um, did anyone else notice that article was written back in FEBRUARY?! Either the date is wrong or I am totally missing something. Are they canceling another tour?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they canceling another tour?! Double oops. My friend texted me and told me he heard the tour was cancelled, and this is what I found when I went looking for information. I never looked at the date. Maybe it was cancelled, but nothing has hit the news wires yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MantaRay Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I didn't notice that, especially since the photo was from last week. Good catch. Live Nation basically has alot of sell-out's listed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my first thought, lol. I don't think the tour was canceled, this is probably just an old read. VH just added a whole bunch of tour dates yesterday. I'll definitely be at the show in MSG, and CAA -- reluctantly Edited August 21, 2007 by puckrock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Leeds Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I saw them twice back in '84.....for the 1984 tour. Back then I loved them. I was at some friends house (don't even remember his name anymore) one afternoon and he had a ticket that he couldn't use.......so I grabbed my mother's car, drove to the SPectrum alone, and saw them that night. And it is quite debatable on the greatest giutarist of all time. It is personal opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deke Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 (edited) Hahahahahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahhahhahahahahhahahahahahhah ahaah. Who didn't see this one coming? If it hasn't been canceled for real, it will only go a couple before diamond Dave and the gang explode.

stevestevens Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Greatest guitarist of all time isnt Eddie, he was just loud and flashy. Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughen, Hendrix, or possibly Omar Rodriguez-Lopez (mars volta) i would say is the greatest guitarist of all time.

MantaRay Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 LMAO wtf...man. That's just pathetic.Btw...Trenton a little history lesson for ya: Jimi Hendrix Eric Clapton Stevie Ray Vaughan Duane Allman Jimmie Page Carlos Santana Rolling Stone All-time Top 100 Guitarists No offense, but this is more just some old persons opinion on guitarists. I know this is very subjective, but it seems if you die young, your immediately a RnR martyr and hence "the greatest". On this list only Jimmy Page and Santana would make my list, they were innovative and kept evolving over time. the other guys, IMO, Clapton, Vaughan, Allman essentially are considered "GREAT" because they took a black man's blues music and introduced it to a new audience with an electric guitar. Not creative, but in the right place at the right time. I think EVH is ranks with Page and Santana......and Ace Frehley (let the jokes ensue).

Satans Hockey Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 (edited) I think Buckethead deserves to be on that list more than Jack White. Edited August 22, 2007 by Satans Hockey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devils731 Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Now unrelated to the topic of guitarists but the radio show I heard the tour was cancelled from was just messing with people to see how far they could get it to spread among hardcore fans so ignore that i heard it on the radio.
