VAN HALEN to play Europe before the end of 2013...NOT YET

 updated March 13

Finally...

VAN HALEN TO PLAY EUROPE...


Well , NOT YET :
According to Billboard.com, Irving Azoff, manager for VAN HALEN founders Alex and Eddie Van Halen and bassist Wolfgang Van Halen, has dismissed as incorrect reports that the band will tour Europe beginning late this year.
Azoff begs to differ. "All the announced dates, which include the date in Australia, the dates in Japan and a date in Wisconsin, are confirmed and on sale and those are real," Azoff tells Billboard.com exclusively. "I manage the Van Halens, and I know nothing about any European tour."


THANKS DAVE FOR THIS ONE !!!

Between 50 to 60 shows outside the USA starting at the end of this year.

The Stereophonics @ Studio SFR, Paris March 05 2013

The Stereophonics @ Studio SFR, Paris March 05 2013
Before their sold-out show @ Bataclan on March 13 , The Stereophonics are playing this private gig @ Studio SFR in front of 200 people.

 Always nice to see such a famous band is such a tiny place , it's full but no more than 200 people in here and still room to breath even down the front. We're just on time and the band is getting on stage just as we arrived by the side of the stage on the left. Perfect spot.
The band is starting with brand new song "Indian summer", I guess they would have played most of the new album with a couple of hits in the end, not really.(see setlist below)
We've seen the Stereophonics a few times in Paris ( Maroquinerie & Café de la Danse) and in London ( Wembley stadium and some other places I can't remember) and each time we were a bit disappointed, they are nice little boys playing some nice rock songs, good songs though but NOT rock (read Heavy) enough. It's true today and to make things worse it's an acoustic/electro gig.
COME ON GUYS, take your balls out & put them on the table  !!!
We want some wild guitars and heavier songs !!!
I'm pretty sure that even my little sister would fell asleep listening to those songs.



 Good gig but NOT Heavy enough.

Opéra Garnier
Cool morning with Stella McCartney's fashion show @ Opéra Garnier, as usual we saw Paul McCartney, this time he was really nice and chatty, he even signed me my "Magical Mistery Tour" booklet (see pic below). BONO from U2 was a nice surprise, he left straight after the show so we couldn't meet him. Dhani Harrison & James McCartney were there as well as Twiggy, Marianne Faithfull and some French Actresses.
We had a nice chat with Dhani Harrison who told us he's about to record a new album with Fistful of Mercy (with Ben Harper & Joseph Arthur).
