Mark, you nailed it! One would think that after a decade of practice, he would be able to get it right, but then again practice does not make perfect,...
Where were you sitting? Because from where I was standing, we all were singing all the words to the new songs. Kevin even looked over at us when we were ...
Mark, the reason the new songs don't have Gary's magic is because Gary isn't with the band. KC didn't pick up a whore -- he was talking to a stranger in a bar....
Late concert review -- Indianapolis,IN 9/1/06 Indy has always been a great place for REO Speedwagon to play; they have always had a great following from the...
It's interesting that the best songs of the night were actually written by Gary Richrath and Bruce Hall, and Kevin botched his own song. ... Again." A song...
No surprise here!!! -- Daryl ... From: shoooofly ... written by Gary Richrath and Bruce Hall, and Kevin botched his own song. ... Again." A song that needed a...
I just bought a video of REO's appearances on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert from 1974 and 1979. The 1979 one is obviously on the Nine Lives tour. RWTC, Easy...
For me, it has always been the strength in the lyrics that Kevin and Gary have written over the years, as well as the music. I have never found anything...
That '79 appearance is a classic in my opinion. REO's music was still fairly new to me back then, as I was only twelve. It came on at like 12:30, or 1:00 in...
That statement may have been true back in REO's Hi Infidelity days (when Kevin had Gary to keep his ego in check), but it's certainly not true now. Cronin's...
I think the original band's willingness to honestly talk about their foibles (character flaws) was one of the reasons Hi Infidelity was so successful. Who...
I understand. I suppose I see it differently, though. At least, the term I would use to describe the lyrics is different. To me, the main character in each...
If Cronin REALLY had the guts to "lay bare his foibles," he'd write songs about being a spoiled rock star who gets pissed off at the drop of a hat, who's...
Well, that's what I'd call a lady of the evening camped out in a hotel bar who wanted to have sex with me. ... lacked the Richrath magic that turned Kevin's...
I'd call the lady you refer to as a whore also. But that's not the lady that the song references and just because a lady is sitting alone at a hotel bar,...
I just booked seats at the REO show in Augora Hills on New Years Eve. Is anyone else going?? For those interested, the cost to reserve a seat at a dinner...
You didn't mention "Needed to Fall" which is a great song about needing to fail in life to be able to pick yourself up and be a better person. When Kevin...
Dave, you are so lucky! I hope to be there, maybe I will see you there. I will let you know if and when I get tickets! That would be so cool! ...dawn ...
Thanks for clearing that up for many here; however, they won't believe it's that way. Pandora's box has been opened on this one! LOL...... watch out now!!!...
