Shamelessly ripped from Fark.

This is much sadder than Oasis breaking up 1 minute before their show. What's next? DMX playing kids birthday parties?

Yep...sad. I didn't know that many people would actually pay to see him...

Welcome to "has been."

A couple of years ago, we saw The Marshall Tucker Band at the county fair...on the "free stage." Talk about sad.:shocked:

This past summer...

Huey Lewis & the News

The Four Tops

Rick Springfield (rock & roll hootchie koo!)

Grand Funk Railroad...just to mention a few.

 

[Modular]

LoL

Is it sad? They might not have the chicks and glory anymore, but they're getting paid to do art, and something they enjoy. They may not be making millions, but enough to live on, and a job you love is more than many have.

No...you don't understand. There's only one member of the original band left, and his vocals were...horrible at best. I'd seen them once in their prime...GREAT show, but this was B-A-D.

While I agree with the sentiment in your post...they were just plain terrible. (although some of the members of the band were decent musicians, as a group...they sucked)

I think they still have an Original Roadie.

Coolio is still the man in my book.

 

[Yukmouth]

so what if a former big name wants to play some small venue? why should that detract from them?

he's getting a decent amount of name recognition for this, and it's free.

and LOL at the cooking with coolio.

I see what you're getting at but let's just call a spade a spade. Dude is doing a web based cooking show. He's "headlining" a 150 person show. He's desperate for money. Not that there is anything wrong with that but it is what it is.

i dunno, i see it as trying to build an ego, or a sellable personality, rather than just a rapping career. (which obviously comes and goes.)

he'll later try to sell his ego.(something like hasselhoff and shatner have done... though obviously wont be as successful.)

 

[l0cke]

This is in my city, should I go see it?

I'm thinking not.

He had a strange bit where he asked the audience for tacos, Hennessy and gas money.

LOL

 

[alkemyst]

you guys realize many of these bands are well-off and just tour because it's fun and they are performers right?

[lokiju]

Yeah some city square by me had some 90's alternative rock band play for free a few weekends ago.

Can't recall their name right now but I remember when I saw the sign for it think "oh, I remember them!".

Ah, it was "tonic" that sang that song "If You Could Only See".
