Bret's really going all out trying to push this country song, huh?

DTE just a short one-hour drive from Lansing and I'd love to see Bret, but I have zero interest in Skynyrd and .38 Special.

Weird combo.

Hmmm...that show is coming here in June. I might check that out.

I love Skynyrd and 38 Special and since I love Poison I'm curious about Bret's solo stuff.

Hmmmm....no shock they're coming to Pittsburgh (which I swear is the unofficial classic rock capitol). I'll pass

Nah, St. Louis is Classic Rock Capital.

Just look at the last REO Speedwagon/Styx DVD for proof.

I haven't liked any of Brett's solo material. It's just weak, in my opinion.

It lacks focus. What is he trying to sound like with his solo stuff?

I'll have to pass on this tour too. If I was desperate for a show, I might go.

But where I live I get a good show every month at least. A lot to choose from.

Just saw Skynyrd a few months ago. Great show as always. Ricky Medlocke rules!

I would go to se LS, they always bring it.
