Hair metal shows? Not that many over the years, since I was raising the kidlets and doing the domestic thing during the heyday of the genre.
Other shows this year? Probably thirty - ranging from Clay Aiken to Bob Dylan to Three Days Grace to Ian Hunter to Staind and Nickelback. Goo Goo Dolls and Lifehouse are Sunday (Fluff needs a break after the floods this week, so she's coming up from Findlay tonight and wants to see the GGD - it's the least I can do). Velvet Revolver with Alice in Chains next week, and Donny Osmond and Frankie Valli in the first couple of weeks of September. It's been a pretty well-rounded year for me on the concert circuit.
I think I still have five BCRs, but I rarely play them anymore - 95% of the time, I'm using either my Strat (the Showmaster one, not the HM model) or my PRS. I bought a horrible Tele copy and I'm seriously considering making an exemption to my vow to never smash a guitar, because the garbage is the only thing it's fit for.
I have a serious case of lust going for an Alvarez twelve-string, but the budget just isn't allowing it. *sigh*
