What bands would you pay $100 to see?

ChaNce · 09-19-2006, 10:22 AM

Hey, this came up in another thread, http://www.sevenstring.org/forum/new...ote=1&p=260803 and I was wondering, what bands would you pay $100 or more to see? Here are the rules:

The band must exist currently, and you can only see it in their current form. You can say a band where all/most of the members are still alive, but are not together (e.g., Pink Floyd). No historical bands (e.g. Roth-era Van Halen). Basically, if the band was to go on tour tomorrow, would you pay $100 to see them in their current form?

No opening act.

I could only think of two:

1. Tool
2. Radiohead

Tool and Radiohead are in the same category to me: the best in their genre, and most likely not going to exist anymore in the near future. I'd give pretty good odds that this is Tools last go-around, and Radiohead may have another album in them, but you never know.

Anyway, what are your bands that you would see?

Nothing special....

There's no band I would pay that much to see. I just think that's too much, and I enjoy live DVDs and CDs enough to tide me over. The only way I would is if Type O Negative played a 2-3 hour set somewhere with a great sound system. Otherwise that's just too much money of me to spend on something that I can't resell the next day on eBay

QUEENSRYCHE

RUSH

I would pay $100 to see Vito Bratta in concert, with or without White Lion. I really like his guitar playing, and he hasn't played publicly since WL split.

I remember reading somewhere that Vito Bratta got carpal tunnel or something, and hasn't really played guitar for years. I don't know if that is true or not.

No current band. They'd be a couple of "historic" bands where a member of the classic lineup has died, but they're out according to the rules. Most I've ever paid to see a current band was £40.

As an aside the last time Madonna performed here the media kicked up a storm as tickets were up to £300 each. That's massivly over priced for anyone and totally taking the fans to the cleaners.

Trans-Siberian Orchestra - consistently one of the best shows I've seen.

Roundhouse_Kick · 09-19-2006, 11:13 AM

Symphony X. Even if they come to britain they'd only play london and that would be a long, expensive trek!
