SteveAJones Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Sounds awesome, the guitar kind of reminds me of Mission Impossible. Yes! I immediately thought the same thing; a comparison shows them to be similar but different: Theme Song for The Film Mission Impossible: Scumbag Blues: ^^^ I must say I absolutely love this video production. It's truly exceptional and whomever produced it is a genious. If anybody needs me I'll be checking into Room 15 for the remainder of the year.

Sharon The UK pre-sales yesterday was chaotic, but I think most people that wanted tickets got them in the end. You need to have signed up to the mailing list on the Crooked Vultures website and they sent out pre-sale instructions two days ago, with urls, passwords etc. I'm guessing you don't have that email?

I hope I'm still able to get tickets when they go on sale here on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Symbol Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 (edited) Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere, but UK fans wishing to buy advance tickets for TCV gigs at O2 venues can still do so before the tickets go on general sale if they are O2 customers. You need to register here: www.o2.co.uk/music Then search for THEM CROOKED VULTURES ...obviously.
