Ted Nugent at Naperville Ribfest rollcall

GateXII · July 2nd, 2008, 11:41 PM

OK...anyone here going to see Nugent at Naperville's Ribfest on the 3rd? Chris, John & I are planning on it...sounds like a good time.

I haven't seen Nugent since he played in Damn Yankees back in like 90 or 91...so I'm curious to see him do his own thing...haha

Nope, but I will more than likely see Dennis DeYoung at Fronteir Days in Arlington Heights on Saturday.

Hell....I saw him open for Aerosmith and he blew them away!! Teddy Rocks!
We were thinking about going, but we decided not to this year, and stay close to the house.

And hey Rycher.....Dennis DeYoung is fantastic on stage, really good showman! I actually was lucky enough to see him play "Pilate" in Jesus Christ Superstar, and saw him do his album of "showtunes" along with some Styx songs at the Park West. I've been a Styx fan for ohhhh....let's just say a LONG time lol. Wish Dennis would get his big head out of his a$$ and get back together with them. Although his replacement is just as good, and the last time we saw them, they played a lot more of their heavier stuff (if you can discern the heavy from the non hehehehe).

Now, if you were joking about seeing him, disregard this post, but if you ARE going, enjoy!!

Nope, I had other plans and couldn't make it. I've heard that they're very entertaining live - my brother saw them 5-7 years ago when they played in Schaumburg for the labor day festival. Nugent should be awesome though. I've always wanted to see him but timing never works out. I've heard that Ribfest gets insanely overcrowded when they have huge headliners.

prncsslime: I've seen Styx 4x since the reunion in 1996 - twice with Dennis, and twice without him. I think Styx is by far more of a rock band without him, and he doesn't drag them down with all of his ballads.

The downer is that my favorite Styx songs are the Tommy Shaw/JY songs, which we won't hear any of. The upside - finally getting to hear Mr. Roboto in its entirety. I love that song!

I'm not joking, I've always been a big Styx fan.

God dammit this is the second year in a row I didn't know Dennis Deyoung was playing around here and missed him.....

I would love to see Ted again but I refuse to go to ribfest anymore after the last couple of years.

I'd love to see Night Ranger again, I'm totally Gary for that band.

Tony, I think you're just totally Gary, period.

Seems like there is a general consensus about Ribfest. I went for the first time last year to see Heart. While I thoroughly enjoyed seeing them live finally, it wasn't worth the B.S. I had to go through. Expensive and insane crowds. I couldn't even find people that I was supposed to meet there, but I did manage to run into Lotesto! Haha. Anyway, that fest is not high on my list now obviously because of the hassle that it is.

I am curious to read some reviews on the Nuge though. Would have been nice to see him.

with a parking spot and minimal hassle....somehow got beers on a regular
basis w/o waiting this year....

Saw Nuge there a few years ago and it was great....for some reason, this year just seemed LAME....don't know why...... Ted commented on
the PG-13 version of the show so maybe the Naperfarts got on him about
toning it down.....didn't even get any fucking ribs....but got a great buzz
on!

Btw....GARY....DeYoung is in Arlington Heights tomorrow....
