rapidviper54 said:Look, sorry, but you're talking nonsense. Metallica, the Rolling Stones, and Lenny Kravitz are some of the biggest arena acts on the planet right now. Whether you personally dig them or not doesn't change reality. Their names alone guarantee packed houses, and if our local promoters don't know how to capitalize on that, that's their own damn problem.


That was a lifetime ago... Lenny played a show in Washington, D.C. and barely moved two thousand tickets, which is why the whole thing went south. And as for the Rolling Stones? Maybe back in '68 that wouldโ€™ve been the concert of the century, but today? Thank God it isn't! ๐Ÿ™

I might just snag one if I get lucky with a giveaway.

The tour should be kicking off in less than three months, yet tickets aren't even on sale yet. Something smells fishy hereโ€”maybe theyโ€™re planning to make the concert free?

The sky-high ticket prices are to blame.

Metallica and Lenny were paired up for Coachella. Instead of actually building a real festivalโ€”you know, one with a solid lineup of local bands and actual events surrounding the musicโ€”they just split the two headliners up. It's hardly even a festival when the artists bring their own stages instead of using the festival's setup. Then, they slap those ridiculous prices on you.

Some people just lack common sense. They had a golden opportunity right in front of them. Even a child could have heard about Coachella given how much they blasted it on TV.

If they had just booked everything for two days straightโ€”a full schedule featuring Metallica, Lenny, Foo Fighters, Green Day, Soundgarden, Eddie Vedder, and a few othersโ€”and set the price at $117 a massive crowd would have shown up, easily covering all the costs and turning a profit.

They didn't need "innovation." All they had to do was copy the proven festival model used successfully all over the world. But clearly, they couldn't manage that. Honestly, I think Crnariฤ‡ is a thief among thieves, and the fact he isn't behind bars is a joke.

Just saw this headline scrolling on the news: The Stones are pushing back the start of their European tour.

If luck is on our side, maybe a few band members will pass away before then, and the whole tour gets canceled for good. โ˜•

I've never really been a fan. Honestly, I don't see any reason to change my mind about them.โ˜•

I think you're being way too optimistic hereโ€”Richards just had major brain surgery, and honestly, thinking he'll be back on his feet in just a few weeks is a total stretch. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

What kind of brain?! Does he even have one left after all those drugs? The guy plays by instinct alone.๐Ÿ˜ฌ ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ˜‚

I don't know what to tell you about General Electric. Itโ€™s just one of those things that gets under my skin. kaลพe:
Honestly, I doubt Iโ€™d care much to see The Rolling Stones live. ๐Ÿ˜›

Letโ€™s be real here: you never know when a piece of Keith Richards might just break loose. In the middle of all that chaos, it could end up flying straight into your cleavage. ๐Ÿ˜›

Maybe you can just soak that whole thing in formaldehyde later, sell it back to the guy who started this thread, and finally afford a decent Photoshop filter for the kid. ๐Ÿ‘

By the way, who was it that actually called me a Duke Energy employee for the first time? Just curious. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Back to The Rolling Stones again. Honestly, if someone ever actually invents a time machine, maybe Iโ€™ll catch the Gimme Shelter tour. Then I can pick a fight with the Hell's Angels, get myself beaten up, and sue them just to cover the cost of my Harley-Davidson parts. ๐Ÿ˜ณ

I mean, honestly, does it even make sense to bother writing this out? Probably not... No.

But then again, Iโ€™ve been hearing through the grapevine that tickets are actually flying off the shelves!

Man, I would really love to catch this opening actโ€”they sound incredibleโ€”but still, you know how it goes...

If I can get in for free, Iโ€™m there. But if not? No way am I dropping that kind of cash on them... I'd much rather just go buy myself a new pair of Nikes... ๐Ÿ˜

It's like a nursing home.

But I still love them. Even if they're totally out of their minds.
