Your lucky for sure URchemist, I was just in Vegas May 7-11th and no Extreme. A month later they announce dates, of course no where near me:(
But all is OK cuz me and 2 of my friends decided we are going back to Vegas to see Extreme! Still havn't got the time off of work but my flight and hotel and concert ticket has been purchased so to hell with work.
Obviously I need to track them down if I want to see them and that I do so Hello again Vegas! It'll be my first time seeing them, can't wait. Anyone have any nohows of how i can meet them please pass them on! Bring on July 18th, 2009 I'm a newbie!

Its also my first time to see them (what a shame) though Im fan since Pornograffitti... Its Nunos fault that I started to play the guitar xD. You have to make it to the show, Im shure it will be awesome.

The Vegas show is going to be a blast....

I had the pleasure of catching their Vegas show back in August 08 and it was FAN-DAMN-TASTIC!!! They sounded amazing and were completely humbled by the out pouring of love and respect us fans showed them. After a year of touring they should sound even better and hopefully have a few surprises in for us.....

I'll be there this time too.....with my beautiful wife in one hand and my iphone in the other........taking pics and "tweeting" every chance I GET!!!

I hope to see you there!

Suzie wants her all day what?!............D

We tried to get a room at the Hard Rock Hotel for the 18th but damn its expensive on weekends xD

Devils Rain · Posted: Sun Jul 05, 2009 12:35 pm Post subject:

Ya.........the Hard Rock is always expensive. During the summer though, there is no such thing as a cheap hotel on the strip. Yuk. I still havent found a room yet either. I only live a little over an hour from Vegas so I could always drive home after the show but who wants to do that. Vegas + summer + Extreme = ALLNIGHTER! Who needs sleep?

If I find a good deal on a room I'll pass on the info.........

See ya at the show............D

So I'm heading to Seattle today to fly from there to Vegas tomorrow. So excited first time seeing Extreme. At the moment it kinda seems unreal to me my 2 friends and I decided to say "to heck with it, we can't really afford it but who cares, let's do it", so we are. I'll be the curly haired blonde centre right of the stage looking like a kid in a candy store! See you all Saturday night. I'm pumped!

Keep an eye out for me........please say hi.......I'll be the one who looks like my avatar pic (messy faux hawk and black tee). I'll be holding a iPhone with a red cover and posting tweets whenever I can. Probably take a few hundred pics too........

Michelle, you're coming in from Canada..........THAT'S DEDICATION! Nice.......

It's my birthday weekend, so feel free to bring me a present (HA)!

See everyone at the show!!!

I too will be at the show with my beautiful wife. I cant wait. Spending four days in Vegas for a much needed vacation. We are eating dinner before the show at Rare 120 degrees, the steak and seafood place at the Hard Rock, has anyone eaten there before? If so, was it good? any suggestions on what to order.

From Metal Sludge member 'motleyrob'

NF, that review from Metal Sludge..... ooof. Shocked

Altho, to be honest, it's not much different than my own comments about the LA gig Friday night. DeMartini and Blotzer were both on their A-games, but everyone else..... well, not.

About to head out the door and brave crossing the Orange Wall for the Anaheim show. Three shows in three nights for these guys, yikes.

Extreme were on fire last night!! They went on at 8:20, 10 minutes early, that shows how much these guys love to perform. Also the doors opened at 7 and there was no opening act so they could've gone on earlier and done a full set, bad planning by the HR. Extreme put on one of the best shows ive seen them do. It was if they were proving that they should be headlining(which they shoould). The set was the same as the other shows, except after the MJ song they didnt want to leave the stage so they did RnR All Nite by KISS, totally unexspected! The stage was very small but Gary jumped and climbed every inch and put on a great performance. The pool area was beautiful but its not adequate for concerts, theres no room for a decent stage and not much space for people to stand.

I like Ratt but I only stayed for a couple of songs, there is no comparison between bands, Extreme is so much better. I saw them back in 91' and they have'nt slowed down at all, no other band can touch them.

Devils Rain · Posted: Sun Jul 19, 2009 10:43 pm Post subject:

Vegas rocked!!! toral's review is pretty spot on. Extreme sounded great. Ratt did not ( and I'm actually a fan. ) After over a year of touring, Extreme are even tighter ( if thats even possible ), and having so much fun together on stage! It's just AMAZING how Gary can take such a small stage and make it seem ten times as big as it really is..........

The heat was insane and the rain only made the humidity Hell like! So Gary and Nuno's sweat was flowing half way through the first song.

Side note - there were two sisters in front of me and my wife and one of them became very ill from the heat and they both had to leave ( around Hole Hearted ).....they were both extremely nice and HUGE Extreme fans. So if by some chance either one of you are reading this.............."I hope you are feeling better and thank you for your kindness and jolly attitude in the unbearable heat before the show.....feel better and see you at the next show......."

I have plenty of pictures and I'll try to upload a few (been having trouble though - my computer isnt playing nice with the forum lately...). I also have a few videos but the sound needs to be tweaked - my fault for being up front I guess......if anyone has some tips for adjusting video sound - I'm listening.......

I tried my best to "tweet" as much as possible during the show........I hope you guys liked it........ It's just sooooo hard to type when you have an N4 three feet in front of your face!!!!

I met Gary before the show.......almost by accident! Pat was signing autographs and taking pics for some fans and I proceeded to place myself beside the gathering of people and wait my turn. I was soooooo excited at the thought of shaking his hand when the person next to me nudged me and said "Excuse me, I'll be a second......." It was Gary and he handed the camera he was taking a picture with back to its owner and ran over to where Pat was with a wink and a grin pointed my direction..........to which I said ( in the most girlish of voices! ) "HOLY CRAP!"

He laughed as he posed for a few photos and then both he and Pat spent at least ten minutes talking with me by myself.............

They were both the best human beings you could possibly hope for. They were waiting on Nuno to sound check. I asked Gary about all the talk of canceling the gig cuz of the approaching rain and he hadn't heard a peep about it. So he leaned over and asked the Hard Rock security guy what the deal was and the security guy said "Hey, thats how it goes around here - if it rains, it rains and we cancel...." Gary rolled his eyes and leaned back to me and said "We'll go on." He shook my hand and Nuno came out from the elevators and proceeded to take pics with a couple fans. The same security guard kept saying to him that he needed to hurry up - they were late for sound check. But Nuno kept smiling for pics and said "Don't worry - we got all night......" Pretty cool huh!

Another great night, another great show............I hope the upcoming shows are just as amazing for the rest of the fans. Gary said they'll be back soon..............nice!

Do you - wanna - play?..................D

Tried to get video but the stage wasn't very high and trying to shoot over peoples heads didn't work out too good.

It was hot as hell even at night, im sure the band was exausted after this show.
