Puh-puh-ching.

You're trying to classify which bands are "classic rock", so you're not allowed to do genres anymore.

London was good. The rest sucked.

Madonna and Gogol Bordello
Beastie Boys
Foo Fighters

That was just the pick of the entertainment in London!

Gogol Bordello were amazing. Highlight of the night.
I'd never heard of them before. Someone told me they were like a gypsy/punk type outfit...

Ok i know how i missed all these bands,apparently the only one i saw was the New York one. They kept showing like 30 seconds of other countries but not enough I guess. I had no idea Madonna played or any of these other people you guys are mentioning!

Its not a genre, and I never said it was. But its a ridiculously simple classification to use.

Getting played a lot on classic rock radio = classic rock.

So anyone from Journey to Cheap Trick to Pearl Jam can be considered classic rock.

Those are the only ones I would have cared to see. And Spinal Tap of course.

There was way too much crap to put up with. Bon Jovi, Fall Out Boy, Akon, Taking Back Sunday, Pussycat Dolls, Metallica (15 years ago and it would be a different story), Linkin Park, Ludacris, Black Eyed Peas, Jack Johnson, Xzibit, Lenny Kravitz. Who ever booked those should be banned from ever booking again.

Hillarious that the Antarctica concert only had one band, and only 17 people attended.

I mean, who in the f*ck among these organisers thought it was a good idea to have a concert in Antarctica? :laughing:

Foo Fighters put on a great show, I missed the others you mentioned.

I bet you could fill up a state with the amount of Gas used up between the huge trucks and private jet on Metallicas last tour.

Foo Fighters were the only decent thing I caught.

Ok so when I last saw metallica they played 5 songs from the post-black album era. What would be different about 15 years ago given your response to the RHCP issue.

You're right, why do it at all. Lets not do a damn thing to get the masses aware. We can all still hand out annoying and ineffective pamphlets on the side of the street.

If there is a problem with it, propose your alternative.
