Playing Hyde Park with Springsteen sounds reasonable. But why on earth would the play there with Europe?

well okay this was hilarious.

No Europe! You guys got the Revival Tour last fall. This show NEEDS to be in the U.S.! Preferably on the East Coast, on a Saturday I don't have to work so I can go. That's not asking too much, is it?

Yeah, but you got Gaslight just before Christmas. They haven't been here since end of 2010 D:

They played both the UK and Europe last year after the big UK tour in 2010. Since the last US tour in 2010, they've played three shows in the states.

Also, they might get added to a festival that Bruce is playing but they won't be opening for him at some random show. Bruce hasn't had openers in a while.

They only played festivals, that doesn't really count.

Oh it counts, Mike! If they were there at all, it counts!

Ssh you. You're not helping my case

No, you shh! I haven't seen Gaslight in concert yet! Fingers crossed that I'll be able to catch a show during their next AMERICAN TOUR!

You just need to negotiate and get yourself some time off. You're totally missing out, sucks to be you

it was metallica, DUH.

But we still don't know where? I would still hope it's UK if it's something Metallica are sorting out, they love it over here.

Well it is Metalica...Ugh where is the face palm icon?

I am not a fan of their style.

TGA Facebook:

Well that's just weird. Okay, then.

Metallica? Definitely not my cup of tea.

Can't wait for the new record tour even more now.

what the...

From Lucero's facebook

Lucero
Watch this live stream with Metallica starting at 11amPST/2pmEST that might include a lil' bit of Lucero news.

I don't mind Metallica. Just have to wait and see what kind of event it is.

Lol, Big Show? Huge Announcement?

I mean, maybe it'll be cool, but certainly got a lot of hopes up....

Hoping this actually is cooler than it appears on first glance...

Yes, sometimes it sucks to be me. I'm going to crawl into a hole and cry now.

Seriously though, I don't get vacation time and if I take a day off, I end up losing a couple of hundred dollars in my paycheck. It's weird, but I'm paid a standard salary if the week is normal, but if I call in sick or take a day off (like maybe one or two days a year), I get paid hourly for the time I worked that week instead. Normally it's to my advantage, but not if I take a day off. So anyway, I rarely ask for time off because I can't afford it, and someone has to raise the kids, and that someone is me (their parents work A LOT). Hmm...how young is too young for a rock concert?

a friend of mine just told me it's going to be a 2 day festival in NJ/NY. I'll wait for a tour.

So I'm not the only one who's not the least bit excited about this, right? I mean, it's cool that Gaslight's gonna play another show, and maybe play some new songs, but Metallica. Pssshhh.

I don't mind metallica tbh but OF COURSE it's going to be in the us so yeah. no.
I'LL WAIT ;_;

If Lou Reed shows up this will be a disaster....

Am I the only Metallica fan here?

HOLY SHIT THE LINEUP IS NUTS. I'll leave before Metallica! Hopefully it doesn't cost a small fortune to attend
