Thought the same: The three bonus tracks on the deluxe edition are better than many tracks on the regular album imo. Had the same problem with the new Aerosmith cd btw.

The ca. 5000 empty places were most likely in the VIP section. The center section of stadium always have vast free spaces due to safety reasons. But you are right - they could have allowed a few thousand people more in that area easily. I think the song selection was quite unique and diverce. Some songs good, some songs better. I was pretty stunned that he played Spirit in the night & The

Daredevil, the arena was absolutely sold out to my knowledge. A friend of mine couldn't get a "normal" ticket anymore. The free spaces on the right side were mostly VIP tickets, which were obviously not used. The free spaces in the center were due to safety restrictions. The sound was alright for me, but why for gods sake did they put on the full stadium lights almost an hour before

I saw Springsteen last night in Hannover and the way he treated his fans was just awesome. The dancing routine during "Dancing in the dark" with a woman from the audience. Then he took another girl on stage in that song and let her play the acoustic guitar. In another song, he took a young boy from the audience on stage and let him sing. Apart from that he went to the front rows about a

For me it's the 12th best VH album!

Good band, but the guest vocals suck ass imo. I prefer them without a female guest singer!!!!!

Sonically Death Magnetic sounds way better than And justice... and St. Anger imo. In general: Just listen to the recent Anthrax album and hear, what a metal/thrash production should sound like: Crisp and powerful!

Joe Bonamassa may be a good guitarist, but he's overrated to death. And putting out circa three albums a year doesn't make things any better! Can't stand this guy for some reason.

I believe when I see it. Other than that it's way way overdue. I mean they toured the shit out of the US, but totally ignored Europe for the last two decades. I hope, "massive" means that they play more than one concert in a country...

The Bowie album is way better imo. I can't stand BJ anymore (apart from their 80's stuff)!

That's definitely NOT the reason. Kiss is selling out arenas in Germany - and – according to Mr. Simmons – is making a whole lotta money out of it. When Kiss can do it, why can't VH???

There's one interesting point: Why do the Van Halen brothers have so much problems with touring Europe??? I mean they toured endlessly in the US... and here in Europe they would easily sell out big (o2) arenas. So, what's the problem?

Both are fine in that form and length, especially Street Jesus. They should've edit out some ballads.

There are a lot of good songs and a lot of fillers (mainly the ballads) I made my own 12 song collection out of the Deluxe Edition: 01 – LUV XXX 02 – Oh Yeah 03 – Beautiful 04 – Out Go The Lights 05 – What Could Have Been Love 06 – Street Jesus 07 – Legendary Child 08 – Sunny Side Of Love 09 – Lover Alot 10 – We All Fall Down 11 – Freedom Fighter 12 – Closer

Good band, but pretty useless reissue imo. The Bgo remasters have a great sound and I will definitely stick with them. Please go back to the rare stuff, Rock Candy!

It also seems that they completely wiped out Europe from their map. Very strange...

The alternate logo was always a big issue for Kiss fans in Germany, because it's only forbidden here and nowhere else in the world. Not even in Israel! For me a typical case of when political correctness turns into bullshit. Maybe they should've noticed that Stanley and Simmons are jewish...

I actually thought that OM 2 was the only listenable record after Promised Land... and that it's a million times better than the following (craptastic) AS and DTC.

Pretty surprised that so many people here actually like Pink. I – for one – can't stand her at all. Annoying to hear a girl with such a rebel attitude making superboring housewife music.

Yeah, if record companies or itunes think they make more money while raising the prices I can only say: Big mistake - and not their first one! People have less money in this time and age, not more! On another note, it's also disgusting how expensive Rock Candy got recently. I mean, up to $ 20 for a cd? Seriously? No, thanks!

As a German I have to say that Italy is regarded as a very very strong team here. Their win was well deserved and it will be a close and tough semi-final for sure. France on the other hand was a huge disappointment. Spain got through with almost half-power. Hope that Portugal will actually attack the spanish defense.

1. Phil Lynott - The Rocker (Mark Putterford) -> very well written, the end really drives you to tears. 2. Lemmy - White Line Fever -> it's written like Lemmy talks, the funniest music book I've ever read. 3. Dear Boy - The life of Keith Moon -> Extremely comprehensive & rich of details. A rollercoaster ride into madness.
