But if a band like ac/dc were to come to our shores, charging R900 a ticket to play the same old songs they did 20/30 years ago, we will be there in a flash.
Who's this "we", pale face?
See above. I'm bored with the whole stadium rock thing, with "Rock" with a capital "r".
Meh, meh and furthermore meh.
Before anybody starts berating me for being a "folky", there are a number of bands with drums and electric guitars and all that stuff that I would go and see. Recently I watched a Wilco DVD and I found the whole thing very appealing - venues looked to be about 1000 heads (not seats), the focus was on the songs and on the playing (and Wilco are strong in both departments). What's not to want to see?
But sitting in row XXsomething in a soccer stadium watching a band over theeeeeeereee somewhere while the girls get up on their boyfriend's shoulders and the crowd does that synchronised hand waving bit. Is that what it's supposed to be about?
