JC_AOR Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 There have been a ton of great bands touring Australia lately, particularly in the Heavy Metal genre. I know many of the aussies on this forum went to see Ratt and Winger a few weeks back. Those are just two of the great bands that have come to our shores this year. I think many bands are starting to realise that they do have quite a solid and dedicated fan base in Australia, and we would love to see more of it. A few of the upcoming tours for early '08 that I know of include: Confirmed Bon Jovi W.A.S.P. The Poor (Supporting W.A.S.P.) Helloween Black Majesty (Supporting Helloween) Iron Maiden Ozzy Osbourne Saxon (cancelled but will re-schedule) Toto HIM Nightwish Black Rebel Motorcycle Club Budgie Velvet Revolver Dream Theatre Hardcore Superstar Rumours AC/DC Baby Animals Extreme AND Jeff Scott Soto needs to re-schedule... Anyone else?? Any other likely true-mours?? And a question for the aussies on this forum. Which artists/bands would you like to see tour Australia in the near future. For me it would be without a doubt - Whitesnake and John Waite. I would also love for Edguy to come back...they said they would so they have to.

What, didn't you dig The Poor's WHO CARES? That's a fantastic old-school hard rock record! It was a very nice welcome surprise when it came out in the ultra-dull mid 90s. It's worth the price just for the track "More Wine Waiter Please" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already been out, home now just in time to mention how bad The Poor are.. I'm glad one of us is out there fighting for our right to party. There is a pug sitting on the floor looking up at me - now it's standing up on two feet leaning on me, telling me with it's face it wants to sit on my lap. I told him I have to wrap presents but he doesn't seem to understand. I wonder if it's because he's so small. He just tried to jump up on me now. He's getting a little restless. He was just there for the last hour as I replied to threads here. He sure is cute, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 WARRANT, TRIXTER, DE MONT, BB STEAL, DEF LEPPARD, POISON, DANGER DANGER, EUROPE Is there any real possibility of any of these - except maybe the Poison and Warrant rumours I did hear, and who knows with Def Lep - I guess they could come here. But is there really any chance of Danger Danger or Trixter, or even Europe (not that I'd be TOO Interested these days) hitting these shores??
