Great vlog, Joe. Can feel your pain and anger throughout. And the last sentiments are perfect - see these bands now, while you still can, they wont be around forever 👍🤘

I have seen over 100 shows, also I live in Chicago, my whole life, so I have been seeing them 3 times a year Indiana, Milwaukee, Springfield, Peoria and of course Chicago, also other states, I already had tickets for November in Bloomington IL and Rockford IL, Thank you, made me feel better, one REO Speedwagon' fan to another.❤️💔

Kevin put Gary Richrath in his grave. Kicked him out of the band he formed. I understand his issues. But Gary was REO.

Where did you get the idea Bruce was going to sit? He stands just fine and has performed post-surgery with Neal Doughty. Kevin's criticism was that Bruce wasn't standing straight enough. Well, KC, Dave Amato has not been standing up straight for a few years either. Ya'll are old... REO fans are there for the music, not a wild performance.

Kevin tried to force Bruce Hall out of the Band, and when that didn't work he pulled the plug on REO. Kevin has had voice issues for years, but the band stood by him. Apparently he couldn't return the favor and thought his spin would control public opinion... and found out fans wanted Bruce and not his BS. Kevin's legacy is now being known as a selfish ass who pulled the plug one of the best 70s classic rock bands...

She's right

Kevin Cronin can bite the big one...dude can't sing without... Well, I'll shut up now...

They have been on the road forever. Let them retire and spend time with their families.

Its funny how she hated their biggest tracks this shit is getting old that fake ass shit

Dang , sad to hear . I get to see them at the end of OCT. here in Montana , so i guess i better enjoy it .

KC's stage persona is purportedly the opposite of his behind the scenes persona. Even holding high standards and expectations can be handled in different ways.

who really cares. these guys were about to hang it up , what, 30 or so years ago because nobody cared about them ? it's been gravy since then

The lead guitarist of X plays while sitting ever since he had a heart attack many years ago. His playing is unaffected. X plays clubs for the most part. There's more to this than him merely sitting on a stool. Having said that, Billy Zoom's role in X is more significant than Bruce's in REO. Just my opinion.

people not knowing about BRUCE ? most don't know about REO SPEEDCRAPPIN

I'm not suggesting you are taking sides. The point I was trying to make is Bruce is at 100% and standing straight. If you look at his post on the Bruce Hall page there is a picture of him in April in Orlando after his surgery where he joined the band on stage for a few songs. He looked and played amazing. This is Kevin wanting to own REO which Bruce won't give up his share. Good for him. All in all its a very sad situation.Was not trying to diss your podcast, just giving an additional fact. Bruce is ready to go. We are all heartbroken as I know you are a fan too and obviously saddened by this news.

These guys are geezers and should be retired enjoying the fruits of their career. Cronin hasn't been able to sing for about twenty years and is basically stealing fans money. His greed and desire for control knows no limits. RIP Gary Richrath.

I would love to see Bruce, Neal, and Alan Gratzer put something together, even if just for one tour.

They should of called it a day a 1/2 dozen years ago

As sad as this news is to hear, I’m really not surprised. There’s a reason why it’s called the music business, because while there is music, ultimately the emphasis is on the business part. What I do appreciate about this analysis of the situation is what you brought up about Bruce not being able to be fired because of the partnership. This is actually the crux of what happened between Don Felder and the rest of the Eagles when he started his lawsuits. He was a partner in the Eagles in their business, and Henley and Frey were cutting him out of the “Selected Works” box set. Read his book, “Heaven and Hell,” and you’ll get more of what was actually happening. If you ask me, however, I think it really is the time for REO to hang it up. Kevin‘s voice has been shot since at least 1996, to the point where it pains me to hear anything from the band over the last few decades. Just listen to his guest spot on “American Idol.”

Cronin's voice isn't even half of what it used to be. He needs to hang it up but his ego won't let him.

Even tough I always loved the band, it was time.

January 2, 2025 Cronin announces Kevin Cronin’s REO

Who cares what it looks like when they're on stage, it should be all about the music shouldn't it?🤔🤔🤔

Excuse me, can someone help me translate the video?😢

This was such a treat to watch....David is a great author, and also a great person....He has so much respect for fans, which is quite rare these days...Gil Hibben also sent 5 more machetes for the last installment, which were used extensively in the movie. I didn't really like the movie all that much, as it had a 1980's DTV feel about it, and was nowhere near on par to the previous installments...

He ruled

If Genesis can take Phil Collins sitting in a chair, Cronin can take Bruce Hall who has been in the band since 1977. Like you, I love REO, my favorite band, seen them 20 times or so starting in 1984 to 2 months ago in St. Louis. Screw Kevin Cronin. Maybe Kevin should blame himself for being complacent and hasn't released anything in years. So don't be the crap at 72 or so that all of sudden you have a new outlook. Give me a flippin break. I'm hopeful REO will go on without Cronin...and don't let him back in. Bring on a much younger singer and create some new stuff, still REO sound.

They had two good songs. Buh bye.

There has never been conversation about Bruce sitting on a chair. They said his posture wasn't good enough. Bruce played a few songs a couple of months ago when they played in Florida after his surgery. He was standing. Cronin wants to keep the new guy and not allow Bruce back in the band he's been in for 50 years. That's the real story. Please get the facts straight. Bruce does not have to perform from a chair. There has been plenty of backlash and support for Bruce. REO is not faceless. Any REO fan knows the members and their faces. Go watch the Kevin Cronin band in 2025.

Carrie is divine, her soul and heart is like opalite

How about the time when Kevin had to sit on a chair while performing because he'd hurt his foot....Obviously KC is a huge hypocrite. He wasn't up on his feet. Clearly what's good for the goose isn't good for the gander.

This is sad all the way aro😢

Kevin’s REO, RunEveryoneOff 😅

You obviously don’t follow REO. There’s been a lot of talk of why Bruce isn’t back yet. Food for thought. Cronin was allowed to sit during shows because of what ever ailment he was suffering from.

I don't think KC has fans because of what he did to Gary. REO has fans that are REO fans, not KC fans. I know I don't like him. I guess that he will be selling the REO songbook because he wants more money and he thinks he is the boss. I hope he shares it with Gary's family.

I didn’t know they were still going

😢😢😢

I can't believe the band is giving up their concerts not far to your long time loving fans

Brand new he said Brian first before

DJB, DEWAYNE ROLLAND, DAVE LUBEK, RIFF WEST AND BRUCE CRUMP!!!THATS THE MOLLY HATCHET I REMEMBER!!!!

I'm a Hiatt fan. But I gotta say the production on that album is not good at all. According to his bio written about 3 yrs ago, he claimed when putting that album together, he was working in a blackout of cocaine and vodka - doesn't remember recording it

Young young Scott and I understand they wanted a clean break and Brian IS the nicest guy but he can’t go around saying he wrote lyrics that Bon did (in his book)

He’ll to the yes

I'm one who feels Liberals are God's cruel curse on His children, but you get a like for your excellent disclaimer and non-standoffish real guy attitude. Unlike practically every other Liberal in existence, who are bent on attack :(

God bless Marty Balin. Sticking it to Grace LOL We need MORE MEN to insult wo-MEN.

I love Joe and the Eagles. It was and still is common to have groupies. This is all hear say and she is as bad as any story

The question should be: Why did she do??$$$ So She shouldn't complain especially when you got paid for it. And all she said about let go the aging process fine,it was BS for sure. But she was amazing anyway

The more that i read and hear about The Cars the more i realize that Ric O. wanted the spot light all to himself and was not willing to share it with Ben. That is such a shame sinse Benjamin Orr was there with him from the beginning, and also had such an incredible voice. Truth of the matter is that Benjamin was the Rock Star of this band❤

Rename the band Bobby Snatchit.

She was lip syncing on stage many times to Grace Slick’s vocals. The whole thing is disingenuous to the audience
