Trooper availability can be found here: http://trooperbeer.com/find-beer/stockists Looks like the closest places for you to purchase it would be D.C. and Maryland. Maiden brings Trooper to all the shows... but... only available for backstage hospitality as arenas have their own contracts with...

Love that doggo.

Just booked my hotel for Albuquerque. So much excite.

As an old guy who came in on Killers, I'm totally cool with the Wrathchild add.

Super awkward. Reports of recent shows, though, are good... and Papa doesn't seem to be skipping a beat. Would love to hear his side of the story.

Anybody else following the drama? Was really hoping it was just an elaborate way to kill off Papa III before Papa IV was unveiled... but... no. Looks like a heavy case of lead singer syndrome. Makes you wonder if Tobias will even be able to legally use the name Ghost when the Maiden tour hits...

Finally, there's that sweatshirt I've been talking about!!! However, at the Denver show, it was on a khaki sweatshirt... I guess for the out in the jungle feel or whatever. The black looks bad ass!

This is the spoilers thread, though. And, as far as the Ghost stuff... if some folks have questions and others have answers, it's just the natural flow. But, on the other hand, yeah, if someone wants to make a Ghost thread in another section, we should move all that stuff there. Seems there's...

Papa has gone on record stating that Grohl has both recorded and toured as a Ghoul, and probably will again in the future. Dunno if that means guitar or drums, though. Could be both!

This tour has been such a huge hit, I doubt anything changes, too. And... that's fine with me. Can't wait 'til June!

The woman bass player is gone now. She was/is again(?) the bass player for Lez Zeppelin. The new bass player is rumored to be one of Papa's band-mates from his previous band, as are perhaps a couple of the other ghouls. Both Omega and Alpha are also missing from this current live line-up. The...

Style and tone of playing. I watched some of the videos of the new band, and while it's still pretty damned good... the solos didn't sound quite right. They'll get it dialed in. It is a shame that Alpha and Omega are gone, though.

Still kinda fuming that there was no Denver-specific shirt... what with the Broncos winning the Superbowl that year. Which brings me to a merch question. I've been on a quest to even find just a picture of the tan/beige/khaki/whatever hoodie that was at one of the Denver merch booths. It had the...

I doubt Rime, too... but... then again... it is a featured graphic on the back of one of the tour shirts. I thought it kind of strange that they did that... so, I wouldn't really be all that surprised if it shows up this year. Dunno about Europe, but dropping Trooper from the set would incite...

The outdoor shows at what we call "sheds" are bolted-down seats in the main areas with a small pit up front, and a standing-room general admission "lawn" in the back. They all follow the same layout and are pretty cookie-cutter. This is the one in Albuquerque... look at the little pit down front...

Where's "here" for you? U.S. pre-fab "sheds" have security out the wazoo when it comes to the seated areas and the pit. It's only on the big grassy areas in the back that freedom of movement is allowed. I imagine Albuquerque would be the same.

Dunno if I'd feel the same if I'd spent $118 on floor tickets at one of the arenas where I'd probably wind up behind the sound board, but the pit section in Albuquerque is so small that even if I'm at the very back, it'll be like being within 10 rows of the stage on a seated floor. I feel like...

I'd get with that. And also, not a popular opinion, but I can really, really, really do without Fear Of The Dark.

I just saw Ghost headlining here on their Popestar tour and they were fantastic. Papa is hilarious, and the whole thing is so over the top you can't help but have a good time. I can't wait to see them again, but it's gonna be a little weird seeing those ghouls playing in the bright New Mexican...

PIT, ALBUQUERQUE!!! :rocker:
