RE: FOMO IRL
Yeah, the big bands have either gotten super greedy or they have to pay so many other entities that things have spiraled out of control. I just read that Stones tickets are going for as much as $1,600 apiece.
I honestly can't name one band that I would pay that much to see.
A friend of mine and I drove up to Cleveland in '91 (I think) to see Metallica. Lars' drum kit was in a cage that rotated and was suspended in the air. Pretty wild night.
Me neither :)) I would've said Motorhead, would've gladly given a kidney for that, but that's just the thing. They had a rule about staying affordable for their fans, even though they were who they were. So I don't really think a ticket would ever cost that much, if they could help it.
Yeah, they do have to pay others, I suppose, that's a good point. Yet, some big bands are affordable while others are just absurdly overpriced. Makes you wonder..
That is such a cool story :O Sounds like one of those once in a lifetime things, I love it.
