ROCKS OFF - The Rolling Stones Message Board

from pollstar

One of the most in-demand shows of the still-young year isn’t U2, Neil Young or Prince. Instead, it’s the upcoming tour by an unemployed sitcom actor.

Apparently it took one of the largest earthquakes in recorded history coupled with threats of multiple nuclear reactor meltdowns to push Charlie Sheen from the headlines. The actor has dominated news cycles for the past few weeks with every word uttered by the former star of “Two And A Half Men” getting the “major news” treatment by broadcast network news departments as well as the 24-hour cable newsers.

Called the “My Violent Torpedo Of Truth / Defeat Is Not An Option” tour, Sheen announced two dates via Twitter on Friday – April 2 at Detroit’s Fox Theatre and April 3 in Chicago at the Chicago Theatre. Tickets for both shows went on sale within 24 hours of Sheen’s announcement and immediately sold out.

Top ticket prices for both shows were just under $70. However, folks hoping to make a quick buck on Stubhub have priced ducats as high as $4,999. Of course, listing tickets at outrageous prices isn’t quite the same as actually selling them at those prices.

Meanwhile, E! Online is reporting that Sheen is about to announce as many as 20 to 30 cities for his tour......

If he comes to Central Florida I'll definitely go.

i'm with alex - charlie's living the dream and taking the piss big time... I find the whole thing hilarious and this "winning" concept is , well, a winner!!

One thing that would really upset Charlie Sheen is to ignore him, he's been in the news 24/7.
The craziest rant is him out doing Keith & anybody else who's ever been a big stoner.

Personally I think he's a guy who's got a mental illness or coming of Cocaine or both.

what does he do?

HO'S AND BLOW!!! its the ho's and blow '11 tour!!!

money, hoe's and clothes.

Years ago, his attempt at chain gang jive in Cadence made us all ashamed to be white. But he's not afraid to state his principled position regarding crack cocaine. In the face of endless hypocritical political correctness regarding drugs, he deserves our praise and admiration on that score.

Looks like the porn star tried to kill herself last night:

just saw the interview with two of his porn hookers right before they took the kids, and one of them was geeked on coke, if not both. She was pratically chewing her teeth... it mad me feel sick to my stomack=h... but she is hot, so I'd bang her and then throw her ass to the curb.

Sheen is wildly popular, there are already several Sheen slogan T-shirts, look alike Sheen hats, and Charlie's shows sold out in 18 minutes! I have to admit his crazyass shit is entertaining yet at the same time you feel like you are watching a terrible accident but you have to look anyway. Charlie Sheen is living on the edge, but its dangerously funny.

He's an actor
Acting!

Booze and pills and powders :whatapostronnie

Is it really possible, calling yourself a Stones fan and at the same time admiring Charlie Sheen for "living on the edge"?
Can you really blame the Stones for not wanting to tour anymore with fans like this?
To me this sounds exactly the same like saying "John Bon Jovi embodies the truth definition of Rock 'n' Roll" :pukey

Identify one post in this thread where that sentiment was set forth or suggested.

Did the Stones make an announcement that they no longer want to tour? Are you a band insider or just someone without a clue?

President Nixon declared the War on Drugs in June of 1971. Today, anyone in the United States with half-ass initiative can readily and easily enjoy the pure effervescense of vaporized crack cocaine.

Trillion $$$$ (cashmerga) effort has not come close to yielding the desired result. Dismal ROI (Return on Investment) on unwise taxpayer investment. Taxpayer = fish.

Charile Sheen Booed On Opening Night
5:12 PM, Apr 3, 2011 | comments

Detroit, MI -- Charlie Sheen's "My Violent Torpedo of Truth Defeat Is Not An Option Tour" was a complete disaster that fans would not stop booing at the famous actor.

Sheen was heavily booed and people walked out of his show while he was performing. The fans booed not only Sheen but his friend and tour-mate, Simon Rex, who came out and started rapping.

Sheen started the show with a question and answer session. He answered questions from fans about everything from his favorite port stars to crack cocaine. He also played clips from a network interview he did and ripped it apart.

At one point, Sheen told the angry crowd that he had his own phone app and they didn't.

The crowd got more angry and Sheen called Simon Rex to rap and when that didn't go well, they played his new song "Winning", which features Snoop Dogg. The crowd became even worse when Snoop Dogg didn't appear on stage and started booing and heckling Sheen even more. At that point, the house lights were turned on and most of the audience left.

Soon after all this chaos, Sheen came back out on stage and invited the few remaining fans to move up closer to the stage.

Sheen then began complaining about his audio and walked off the stage. The remaining fans got angry as well for him walking out on them.

Outside of Fox Theater it seemed like a riot was taking place with all the angry fans and possibly now ex-fans of Charlie Sheen screaming, booing, and demanding their money back from a show they felt was horrible and that ripped them off.

Despite all the disaster and chaos that went on in Sheen's show in Detroit, he is planning to move on to Chicago for Sunday night's performance according to a source close to Sheen.

The source close to Sheen's camp says, "One group of unruly people who started booing, and it became a mob mentality situation. They wouldn't let him finish a story. It was all bad and we're looking forward to Chicago."

Sheen Toasts Deceased Man's Ashes Onstage

Following his streak of bizarre antics, Charlie Sheen closed his first Canadian tour stop by toasting the ashes of an audience member's dead husband.

After an hour of frenetic conversation between Sheen and comedian Russell Peters during the actor's "My Violent Torpedo of Truth" show, Sheen called out to the audience for a woman whose husband had died two years ago to come onstage. Sheen said he read about her in a newspaper article.

The otherwise raucous audience in Toronto's Massey Hall fell silent as Wendy Newman took to the stage, clad all in black and carrying a vessel. Newman told the show-goers that her husband died of a heart attack and the only way she got through her difficult period was by watching DVDs of Sheen's former sitcom "Two and A Half Men."

When she learned the celebrity was coming to her home city, she snapped up tickets. She then posted a message on Sheen's Facebook page asking if she could bring her husband's ashes to the show and have Sheen raise a glass in honor of her husband of 19 years. And he did. Well, a glass of non-alcoholic cider, according to Peters, since Sheen has said he's put an end to his drinking or drug use.

"I think I can now send you off, Charlie Sheen is here now," said Newman after she gave a brief eulogy of her husband.

And then, strangely, the show abruptly ended, followed by an incomprehensible video of Snoop Dogg rapping, leaving the audience confused and unsure if it was really over.

"What the hell was that?" said audience member Dale Manudoc, 25. "I didn't know what was going on during that whole show and then it just ends like that? What the hell?"

Sheen's Toronto date was his first north-of-the-border stop on the 20-city tour that includes a second Toronto show on Friday night and another stop in Vancouver, British Columbia. His unconventional tour launched in Detroit on April 2 to an unimpressed audience, with some demanding refunds, and brutal reviews.

After the night opened in Toronto with a few non-sequitur scenes from "Jaws" and a montage of some of his movies including "Platoon" and "Wall Street," Sheen walked out donning a ball cap emblazoned with the word "Winning," his catch phrase.

"Let's start with the fact that there's no ash tray," Sheen said. "This may be the first city I may not need a cigarette."

He then slyly slithered an electronic cigarette out from his pocket in an attempt to skirt Ontario's anti-smoking laws, which health officials warned the chain-smoker about earlier. He's lit up frequently during his previous tour stops.

And then for the next hour, Sheen and host Peters, a popular Indian-Canadian comic, struggled to get a real dialogue going. An unplanned question-and-answer segment came off as stilted while audience couldn't resist shouting either words of adoration or random questions. The spectators got so disruptive, the pair opened up the show to the crowd in an attempt to allow them to ask their questions, but that also fell flat after several women lined up requesting only hugs and kisses.

In between the audience noise, the somewhat disjointed conversation was peppered with Sheen's random stories including an explanation of his "seven grams of rock" reference from his "20/20" interview.

"Seven-gram rocks. Who smokes seven-gram rocks?," he started with. "Basically, I had overstuffed my crack pipe. The thing broke and the rock fell out. I put it on a scale and it was four grams. I put it back (in the pipe) and figured some probably broke off so it would have been like three grams, so three plus four is a seven-gram rock. And did I finish it in one hit? F-ya."

That story prompted Peters to ask if Sheen's ever regretted anything he said.

"You look back and wonder why I say things. Sometimes I say things because they have bitchin' sounds," replied Sheen.

Peters carried the show through more back and forth, and then Sheen brought his "goddesses" - the two women he lives with - out by request from the audience. As they left the stage Sheen proclaimed "Do you f-ing blame me?"

Sheen's recent erratic behavior and battles with "Two and a Half Men" producer Chuck Lorre prompted Warner Bros. Television and CBS to fire him from the top-rated sitcom.

He's since filed a $100 million lawsuit against Warner Bros. and Lorre, hit the media circuit with bizarre, stream-of-consciousness musings and impulsively launched his "Torpedo of Truth" tour.

So it was anticipated that he would discuss the developments that ultimately led to his recent "Shenius" antics.

"It basically started because I told them, 'f-you'," he said. "They fired me then, but they knew I was high for eight years. Eight years. It was all about ratings and numbers and as soon as I spoke up, they said, 'you're exposing us."

'E-cigarettes' Bosses Thrilled To Have Chain-smoking Sheen Onboard

7 hours ago | WENN | See recent WENN news »

The brains behind a revolutionary electronic cigarette are thrilled to see Charlie Sheen is using their device to avoid a smoking ban as he tours North American theatres with his new one-man show, insisting if a chain smoker like him can get relief from the alternative, it can work for anyone.

The actor hit the stage in Toronto, Canada with his Smokeless Delite cigarette earlier this week (beg11Apr11) in a bid to circumvent the city's strict anti-smoking laws in public places.

Had he walked onstage with a lit cigarette in his hand, theatre bosses would have had to close the show.

Kyle Winther, the president of Smokeless Delite electronic cigarettes, is delighted Sheen is helping to promote his company's product.

He tells WENN, "Mr. Sheen is now smoking our cigarettes. Their clear and present benefits are taking the drag out of taking your next drag... The future of cigarettes is clearly here."

The actor isn't the first star to extol the virtues of the 'e-cigarettes' - Johnny Depp's character talks about the product in the movie The Tourist and Katherine Heigl showed up on the Late Show with David Letterman last year smoking the e-cigarette indoors, and cooing, "Bet I'm freaking you all out right now, huh?"

The e-cigarettes allow the smoker to inhale nicotine while puffing out a cloud of water vapour.
