I miss him. Great live show. Also, where's Bruce?(with the E-Streeters, not solo!) Crank up some electric guitars!!!

Seger has a new CD comming out later this year. Hopefully a tour will follow.

now that is some great news, last thing i saw/heard of him was his induction to the rock and roll hall of fame. now if there's a tour: bob please come to europe despite your fear of flying...

Yeah, he's aged a little, but can still rock!

P. S. frankie, are you in U. S, Georgia?

Seger is great but it is doubtful he will tour. He has said he would not want to do a tour where he could not give 100% or that was not up to 100%.

Not many people know this but up until Born in the USA, Segar out sold Springsteen.

Yes, I have always enjoyed Bob Seger's music and he is fantastic live. Believe that "Live Bullet" remains the biggest selling live LP of all time.

He has been spotted at some Detroit Piston Finals games during the past 2 years.

BTW, what does "OT" stand for as listed in the post subject?

Off Topic.

Thanks.

I hope his singing doesn't sound as bad as it did at that rock and roll hall of fame induction ceremony.

Hate to tell you my friend, but I'm pretty sure "Frampton Comes Alive" sold more than "Live Bullet". LB is ten times the album (showing my age) of FCA.

Think your right about the sales Elmo and the better of the two albums. Another nice live album from the Live Bullet era is Full House by J. Giels Band.

Also, "Blow Your Face Out" by J. Geils! Another great band that is missed.

elmo lewis: i'm not in u.s. georgia. i'm in holland.

Never said album to album and I never said anything about Frampton. Read my post. I said he out sold SPRINGSTEEN.

Also, in regards to the Rock and Roll induction (which was LOOOOONG over due by the way) he stated that he woke up that day with a cold. The one day he needed his voice it wasn't there. He was very pissed about it.

READ MY POST! I'm not answering you. I'm answering Splattered's post.

I guess some people age faster than others and out here in the not particularly fitness minded midwest, you'd be amazed at how many sorry fat-ass @#$%& can no longer even get out of bed to go and buy their ice cream, cigarettes, booze, and potato chips by the time they have reached the age of 35. But this may just be a case of laziness on Bob's part. Of course he's not going be 100% of what he was 30 years ago, but he can still give 100% of what a 58-year-old Bob Seger is capable of giving. He just doesn't want to get off his fat ass, that's all. Unless he really needed the money.

"He just doesn't want to get off his fat ass,"

Bob IS looking old these days and if his new album has songs as lame as the one he put on his second hits collection (there were two, the other was good)then I'd say his muse has long ago left him. He IS interested in performing only because his kids are too young to remember having seen him and they are starting to get on his ass.

Talk here in Michigan is that if he does perform it'll be for a week at Pine Knob (now known as DTE Energy Theater) 15 minutes from his Orchard lake estate. That way the world can come to him like they do Elton or Celine Dion in Las Vegas.

If his new album is quality, I would make the cross country trip to Detroit to see him on his own turf for a couple of shows.

I love Seger, but I think he's got a case of what I call "Jackson Browne Disease". It's when a good rocker starts taking himself too seriously (hence the name) and begins thinking he's an artiste'. Victims include Jackson B., Seger, Henley, Bruce, Bono, Sting, and Mellencamp. Occasionally, Mickey J. has symptoms. Long terms effect is writing boring ass political songs.

Didn't Seger have some pretty serious health problems a few years ago?

Heard that throat cancer thing, but I think it was an urban legend. Anybody know the truth?
