Bands like the Stones, Rush, Aerosmith are charging $80-$100+ a piece for tickets! Just today I hear about a Skynrd concert for $60 a copy! Sixty dollars to see Lynrd Skynrd?! Thats insane! You know, I liked "Sweet Home Alabama" the first 5000 times I heard it. Now when I hear that song I want to bang my head against the wall. The sad part is, its a great song. It's just so overplayed that its value has gone down to zero. Now they want me to pay $60 to see maybe one or two original members struggle through "Give Me Three Steps". GTF-outta here!
As much as I love these bands I think they've been around long enough and played to enough people that tickets should be $5 a copy! And Skynrd...they should be giving those tickets away for free. Plus why do I want to hang out with a bunch of 50yr old drunk biker's smokin' skunk weed throwin' up the devil horns while AC DC plays in the background. I can go down to 6th street and see that for free!
I have much respect for the greatness that came out of classic rock-but I'm not willing to pay $80 a copy to see Gene Simmons squeeze into an outfit from 30 years ago.
