John Waite - 04.15.2022 - Tears

Post by strangeways »

He played Tears last night.

It has become a mainstay in his set over the past few years.

Nice!! Did you talk about Vinnie at all?

At first I thought this thread was because John had passed away!!!

Are you the one at the left hand side, or the one at the right hand side from computer look? Or none of them? And where did you/he 'take' this rose suit? and why did you/he didn't wear dark blue shirt instead of red, it would fit better to this suit. Woaa.

Nothing against, I'm just ... weirdo in art. Fashionista a bit, too (someone send Vinnie to me, need some advices in fashion, like not to wear his granddaughter's leggins)

John Waite is definitely on the right in the picture and it looks like the other fellow would be our very own Strangeways, who does get along to many a cool show.

Correct.
I didn't ask him about Vinnie although I have in the past.
Here I am in my chunkier days a few years back asking about Vinnie .... in fact, it was 6 years and two days ago.

I am on the left and John is on the right.
It was Easter approaching and so I wore my flowery suit jacket.
John was doing a nice little meet and greet pre show (in the Wisconsin Dells) and was not in his stage clothes as of yet.
Rock on!

Cool!

You actually have a passing resemblance to Dave Allen.....hopefully you still have 10 full fingers!!!!
Promises made, crying in vain, all empty. Never accepting the blame and not letting go of the shame. A river of tears, as months turn to years, all wasted. On someone not willing to change.Now only a shadow remains! :(

outstanding
I got Jesus in my fax machine. I saw Ho Chi Minh down @ Burger King. I dated Vinnie Vincent as a Drag Queen. I still don't understand a f**kin' thing.
I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass and I'm all out of bubble gum.

They rewrote the whole song? Odd. They did change it up some and make it sound worse but I wouldn't call that "rewiting the whole song". Does John have some "Gene Simmons" in him?

Maybe if they would have kept it as it was, he would have had a #1 song out of it instead of just top 40.
