April 20, 200620 yr Author Can't believe Bon jovi is above Coldplay... tickets for Bon Jovi are more expensive in average ;)
April 20, 200620 yr i am suprised that u2 isnt on that list, but for all i know their tour might be over already
April 20, 200620 yr That list is the most horrible thing I've ever seen. Why is it that when Coldpaly are on a list like that, tey're the only good artists on there? And also, remember that ALOT of that goes towards rental expenses and the whole laundry list of other charges that have to be paid, then the precentage taken by crew and EMI. The band always gets paid last and split four ways it's probably no more than a few ten thousand a night. Of course, it's not like that's pennies, but it's not like the guys have a 1 million per night to split between them. :) And remember that 10% of everything goes towards charity as well.
April 20, 200620 yr Huh. Coldplay is the *only* band on that list that I would shell out that kinda dough to see. Or even care about seeing for that matter. Maybe Aerosmith. Maybe Bon Jovi. Probably not. Steven Tyler sounds awful live.
April 20, 200620 yr I hate Aerosmith with a passion. I don't really know why, but I think it's because of their butchered "cover" of the Beatle's 'Come Together'. Ughhhh, I feel SICK when I listen to it!
April 20, 200620 yr I hate Aerosmith's way of singing. Ya know the... "I don't wanna miss a thaaaaang! Even when I close my eyeeeeeeeezzUH!" Ya know... the thing that he does at the end of like... every line? It's so annoying!
April 20, 200620 yr Yeah, the only Aerosmith song I really like is Sweet Emotion. :/ Their new stuff is complete crap. Ugh.
