Rock Star Face

[Blind Gossip] As travel restrictions ease and people feel more comfortable in public venues, music acts are preparing to hit the road.

This long-time rock group will be hitting the road for a series of performances in the United States later this year.

Are they worried about whether people will feel safe in a crowded venue?

No.

Are they worried about their concerts selling out?

No.

Are they worried about feeling rusty because they haven’t performed together in a while?

No.

Are they worried about the sobriety of one of the members of the band?

Oh, yes!

He completely lost it during the past year and he definitely is not sober right now. He’s really f*cked up on a daily basis. I don’t know how he’s going to make it through a tour without falling on his face.

Good luck on that tour, Rock Star!

    The picture is James Hatfield ish . I would guess him. Best Concert I have ever seen . Jethro Tull ! Yes I am an old Boomer & KMA you Radiohead & Cure Mills .

  3. LaLeona says

    Not sure what classifies as a long-running group but Kings of Leon and Caleb Followill come to mind.

    Best concert ever was Shane McGowan and the Pogues in London, a looong time ago!

  4. PatioPrincess says

    I hope this isn’t James Hetfield from Metallica. I’d love to think he is strong enough to get through his recent rehab stint and come out swinging. He has a loving and supportive family to help him.

    Best concert: Santana puts on an awesome show as does Metallica.

  5. Wildflower85 says

    I don’t have a guess, but the best concert for me was Tina Turner. She was “Simply the best. Better than all the rest.”

    Rock Star and/or Band: Phil Collins / Genesis

    [Optional] What is the best concert you ever attended? Bon Jovi’s Slippery When Wet Tour, and also Motley Crue’s Dr Feelgood tour.

    • Elodia says

      Bon Jovi Concerts were the absolute best! Sadly, he lost his voice over the years. Which doesn’t keep me from going to future Bon Jovi Shows. Tyketto Shows are still great 🙂

  9. jimjambanks says

    I’ll go with Phil Collins and Genesis…for all the reasons mentioned already, plus every one of Phil’s solo albums is a picture of his face, starting with his first, Face Value.

  12. ghostrider44 says

    I’m thinking Someone in The Rolling Stones?

    Best Concert Ever: Michael Jackson.

  13. MaisyDaisy says

    Peabo Bryson? I kid, I kid. The best concert I ever saw was The Beach Boys, past their prime, in 1974. (Yea, I’m a senior citizen. But in really good shape 🙂 The audience was on its feet and singing the entire time. I went to a lot of concerts in college (Jimmy Buffett opening for the Eagles, Traffic, Linda Rondstadt to name just three) but the energy in that 13,000 person stadium generated by and for The Beach Boys was unforgettable.

      I think that you’re right on this one. If that is the case, he’ll probably be dead before the tour gets started. I read his autobiography, and he is a terrible alcoholic, unfortunately. It’s a miracle that he got sober in the first place. The thing of it is that he wasn’t a big drinker until he basically retired from music, but then he really fell into his cups after that.

  18. spookie says

    I have no idea who this is (“rock star f’ed up on alcohol” can be most of them, surely) but the best gig ever? Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds.

    • MyPalFootFoot says

      Nick Cave is absolutely the best live act! Have traveled all over the US to see him. Him and the Bad Seeds never disappoint.

  21. WillowPotter says

    Unfortunately, I believe this has to be James Hatfield of Metallica,

    The best concert that I have been to was Panic! At the Disco for their PFTW album the show was fantastic the stadium was packed with 20,000 people not one seat was empty. I hope that concerts will become a thing again.

  23. kellyp says

    I will say Aerosmith as the band. I could see Steven Tyler not being in a good way.

    My favorite is Jeff Beck playing at the El Rey 2009 when Rod Stewart came on and did a couple of songs.

  25. keenobserver says

    I don’t know this band, but Prince at the Boston Garden – I swear he hypnotized the crowd. Best.Concert.Ever.

  30. stupidtrista says

    Rockstar makes me think of Nickelback.

    Best concert – believe it or not, Snoop Dogg

  34. KittyKat says

    Well, I just got an alert that Genesis is going to have a show near me in November. Maybe Phil Collins? They haven’t performed together in years, Phil Collins talked about struggles with sobriety in his autobiography, and he’s been going through personal issues with his most recent ex. He also injured himself some years ago when he fell on his face.

  35. petdragon says

    I guess either Guns n’ Roses or Motley Crue, although let’s face it, it could be any member of either band who’s fallen off the wagon

  40. tinabopper says

    Axl Rose/Guns N’ Roses. Tour starts July 10th in Milwaukee.

    Best concert I’ve seen so far was Stevie Nicks first solo concert back in the day, in Biloxi, MS. What a disastrous, unforgettable and yet spectacular music experience that was LOL!

  41. funster says

    Probably Phil Collins and Genesis.

    Best concert-
    Unannounced concert at Fillmore East with The Dead, the Airplane and Traffic. And some mushrooms.

  43. Monysmom says

    I REALLY hope this is not referring to Adam Clayton in U2 – he has worked hard to achieve and maintain sobriety

  45. splashy says

    The title of the related blind refers to Johnny Depp, who played in a band with Joe Perry. That leads me to Aerosmith, so either Joe or Steven Tyler. I hope not, though; that would be so sad. Hmm…just checked their website, and the only US date listed is for Boston, so maybe not them. Unless they add more US dates in the fall?

    Best concert: Def Leppard! Woo-hoo love them!

  47. abbygee says

    Can’t think of who this is right now.

    Best Show in a while, and I mean entertained from beginning to end, was Pink a couple of years ago.

  52. allegoriedesoie says

    Rock Star and/or Band: I’m totally guessing here, but I wanna say Steve Tyler & Aerosmith…?

    Optional: best concert, hands down, Explosions in the Sky, 2019

  53. Charloot says

    This is giving me Green Day vibes and Billie Joe Armstrong
    Best concert…Muse for the Absolution tour.

  55. The Big D says

    I will guess A.J. McLean and the Backstreet Boys
    Best concert -Hard to say but if I had to pick one it would be The Rolling Stones-they never disappoint!

  56. ohiknowthis says

    I want to say Metallica with maybe Lars Ulrich being the one off the wagon.

    Ive seen a few good ones. REM and queensryche were great!
