I believe I've heard that they will be announcing dates April 1st -- no foolin'!

ticketmaster has quite a few listed and some have already gone on sale already

The line up is "eh". LOL! (kidding)

If I wasnt going to another concert around the same time, I'd consider it. Maybe next time...

Angela is, I'm not. LOL I'm about 35 miles from the GA border. Add another 3 hours for WPB.

For some reason, I thought you were from the same town. How the heck to you know each other then?

We met on Lepp’s forum back in '05. I posted that I was going to the Tampa show, so she PM’d me asking if I was interested in going to see Ryche with her, she had an extra ticket. Not knowing any better THEN, I passed. We just made plans from there of meeting up at the Tampa show, then going to the Kissimmee show together. I think there’s only been like 4 shows since then that we haven’t gone to together.

A 24-minute audio interview with George Lynch (DOKKEN, LYNCH MOB, SOULS OF WE) conducted by Norway's Metal Express Radio following a recent guitar clinic in Oslo has been posted online at this location. Lynch discusses his new band SOULS OF WE (which also features former BRIDES OF DESTRUCTION vocalist London LeGrand), the upcoming LYNCH MOB tour with CINDERELLA and WARRANT, and the possibility of a DOKKEN reunion with him on guitar. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow:

On his efforts to bring the original DOKKEN lineup back together:

Lynch: "The other thing that might be happening, which I've been trying to get together for the last few years, is a DOKKEN reunion. I would bet money that maybe next year it might happen. It's hard to say. But it almost happened this year. I think where it fell apart is that... for one thing, Jeff [Pilson, bass] wasn't going to be in the band, so it already would have been [just] three of the original four members, and secondly, we'd have to be opening for WARRANT [on a bill that was also to include CINDERELLA in the headlining slot], which… I didn't think that was right. Not saying anything about WARRANT, but with us coming back with original members, I think that was strong enough for us to be at least a second [on the bill], if not a headliner. Don [Dokken] had a problem with that, and I agree with him to a certain extent. So I think next year, we'll maybe get together — all four members, including Jeff Pilson. We'll see."

On the "personal issues" between him and Don Dokken:

Lynch: "I think Don has issues with himself, which I don't really have anything to do with. [Laughs] I have learned to sort of be more accomodating in my old age where I don't think it'll bother me — I can't imagine it would; I've dealt with more difficult situations, you know, than… So… that's OK. What I think about every day is just how fun it would be to go out there and play for the fans and see the smiles on their faces, and there'll be a smile on my face playing those songs that we wrote 25 years ago. And [we'd be playing] for big crowds again — it's been a while since we've been out in front of big crowds like that, so… I mean, what's not to be happy about? [Laughs] If you can't be happy at that point, then you might as well shoot yourself. [Laughs] It doesn't get any better than that."

Awesome stuff! Which site did that come from?

I'm about 45mins from Tampa and about 30 from Orlando. As for WPB.. maybe 3 hrs give or take.

Journey and Ryche (hopefully) right now are probably the only shows I plan on seeing this year for now.

this guy is the biggest ass ive ever met, sounds like he needs his ego stroked/money. because he plays clubs to 200 people
this is the best lineup cinderella could get together, this tour will not do but about 3000 a night if thier lucky.

got it from blabber
