[kj] KJ VIP UPGRADE on NA Tour!!!

[jpwhkj at aol.com]

If I bumped into one or another Joker in a pub (but not right before a gig) I'd be moderately interested to chew the fat with them.  But to pay for it?  Or even, not pay for it, but have it organised in a fan-meets-band kinda way?  No thanks...

I'd probably be up for something like this if a decent pre-show soundcheck was 
ncluded.  
Back in 2004, I caught the Van Halen/Sammy Hagar (borderline disastrous) reunion 
our and did the so-called 5 Star package which
ncluded being let in the arena in the afternoon when the band did their 
oundcheck.  That was actually infinitely better than the
oncert itself that night as Hagar (thankfully) wasn't there, so it was Eddie, 
is brother and Michael Anthony ripping through over
alf an hour's worth of David Lee Roth era classics, some shouted requests 
ither as instrumentals or with Anthony singing lead vox
ith only about 75 other people hanging out on the stage.  I'd love to see a 
imilar thing with KJ informally playing a half dozen
eep cuts, covers, jams - whatever during an afternoon soundcheck.  That, I'd 
ay money for.
I have really no desire to meet and talk to the band under such circumstances 
hough, partly because it's a fairly regimented affair
nd partly because as a fan, I don't want to ask the same old questions these 
uys have fielded billions of times - "Where's Gems Of
ower?" "Will you play (my 2 or 3 personal deep cut favorite) songs?" "If there 
as a fight between The Illuminati and Al Qaeda, who
o you think would win?" and on and on.  I'm in it for the music, not one on one 
ocial interaction in a setting barely one step up
rom a table at a Hollywood celebrity autograph show.
