Anthrax in 2012 was terrible.

Red Hot Chili Peppers sucked when I saw them in the early 90’s when I saw them. I also regret seeing Metallica live in 92 after having seeing them twice during the And Justice for All tour. They completely changed their style and so even the old stuff they played in concert sounded cheesy.

Like I posted above, John Kay going solo without Steppenwolf is the worse show. The most unusual was 1984 Ted Nugent, but the opening act was Alcatrazz. It was singer Graham Bonnet, who wore a suit and tie with Yngwie Malmsteeen on guitar. Yngwie had his own pedestal stage up even with the singer and even slightly ahead and wore a velvet suit. You can tell 90% of the audience was watching Malmsteen and Bonnet was a bit peeved that maybe 10% were looking at him. The combed back hairdo and sunglasses and suit didn't help his look. They actually sounded good, just an odd sight to see and Graham Bonnet's voice has to be an acquired taste. He only knows one way to sing, loud and hard, he could never sing a ballad if he had to.

Other than the waste of time, it didn't really bother me all that much. I wasn't a much of a Rush fan to begin with, and never would have went to the show in the first place on my own. But my friend was livid. She was also batshit crazy, which didn't help. She basically threw a toddler fit, and I had to listen to her rant and rave about it while she drove her car like a lunatic through the streets of Chicago all the way home, since I had ridden with her to the show. I've felt safer riding with people driving who were too drunk to walk. |

I guess it all depends.I'm pretty sure i saw RHCP once and it was when they had Dave Navarro in the band,which was def. not their peak.I thought it was a good show but i don't remember a whole lot about it.They do have a pretty rabid fanbase i guess,but most the people i know think they peaked a long time ago and don't like them much anymore.BSSM will always be my favorite album of theirs.As far as Metallica i find they always play a good show,i would've liked to seen them early on but i didnt until the Load tour,which i still thought thought was good even after they cut their hair.

My daughter and I talked with dudes in the parking lot about how cool it would be if they opened with Yahweh and of course, they did. It was a small venue and it was LOUD.

Yep. Styper also did a full album of 70's/80's metal covers called "The Covering" which has some great material on it. I'm especially partial to their rendition of UFO's Lights Out.

How does one sell tickets (ticket?) to such a show?

So, by 1997, Axl spent around $10 million dollars recording Chinese Democracy but wouldn't allow anyone outside of his home studio hear what he'd been recording. I mean, no one, not even the record company. Finally, Geffen threatened to cut off any more funding of the album until they heard something - anything - about what he was doing with all of the money. The head of Geffen decided to send one of their most successful A&R men up to his house in Malibu, to which Axl agreed (which he had to do or risk getting the funding cut off). This guy signed several bands that went on to sell tens of millions of copies - household names to basically anyone that turned on MTV or the radio in the mid-80's to the late 90's. This dude knows music. So, Axl plays him everything he's got to that point and asked what this A&R man thought: "Well, there are a few songs in there but the entire project needs a lot of work, beginning with the songs". Axl was nice and polite and the A&R guy left with some serious information for the Prexy of Geffen. The A&R guy goes to work the next morning and went to speak with the president "How did you think your meeting went?". The A&R guy went on to tell him about the tracks, which had potential, etc. and so on. "What did Axl say?" he asked. The response: "Oh, he didn't say much. But he did say that he wouldn't write another song if you weren't fired from the A&R department". The A&R guy wasn't fired from Geffen but he was never allowed to speak with Axl again. On a side note: There were so many guys in and out of the studio and with Geffen footing the bill, A Perfect Circle was formed and recorded, on Geffen's dime. After the record was done, their manager took it to Virgin Records, who gave them a $3 million dollar signing bonus and a huge record deal, despite the fact that Geffen actually paid for the album, which would have cost at least $1 million to record elsewhere. |
