Originally posted by Carrie@Jan 1 2004, 05:04 PM Some old 80's hair bands would be killer, I'm sure Motley Crue would have no problem playing for pornographers LOL although getting Vince to play with the band would be like pulling teeth nowadays (and vice-versa).
Then again could you pull together a big enough crowd to justify the cost?
Probably not.
Actually, David Lee Roth pulled pretty well a couple years ago.
Elvis Manson did well and everyone had a good time with them in Toronto.
I understand Darren books rap acts because that's what he likes and has the connections for.
I actually have connections for Motley Crue and some of the 80's hairbands (I used to book festival shows with 80's castoffs, one-hit wonders, hasbeens and never-wases as well as a couple hitmakers: Love/Hate, Gene Loves Jezebel, Tears For Fears (we booked a show one time and they just showed up and wanted to play), Giuffra, and countless others...
I think there would be a nice turnout for such a show but no one has bothered to do one. Remember, this industry is built on most people being followers. Everyone else books rap/hiphop and techno clubs/acts because the other guys are doing it. I'm approaching mid-30's now as are a lot of others who grew up on the hairbands, early thrash metal, etc. just as the upcoming generation was raisied on rap and hiphop (and Vanilla Ice...yikes)
I'll be announcing a new position I've taken at InterNext and maybe these folks would be up for such an event at future shows....

Yeah, a lot of Stones, Kinks, UFO, Styx , etc. influence there, similar to The Storkes and a lot of other bands using their guitars and getting back to the garage sounds.
In fact when I heard Jet's new song the first time, I thought it was a Kinks song I'd never heard before.

How did UFO and Styx get in the same sentence?
Also in regards to "I guess they have to keep the kids that promote their programs happy" - could it be that more money is made with/from/by those who aren't kids and don't care for hip hop and rap?

its odd nobody has ever thrown a more grungy, rock, heavy kinda party ... do it sykk!!!!
electric hellfire club, skinny puppy, kmfdm and others doing a show for a porn convention would actually make a trip to vegas worthwhile even without public disembowelments...
Darren is a cool cat, but this year's headliner is Naughty by Nature? Didn't they have their last hit about 10 years ago? Hardly a big name band. Granted the sponsor money isn't there like is has been in years past, but maybe that is an indicator that he needs to change the flavor of the show. I remember him mentioning bands like Foo Fighters, Linkin Park, Aerosmith. The majority of people would most likely welcome a band like that and would put their money behind it. Those bands are pretty expensive, but ANYTHING besides rap/hip-hop would be damn nice (just no Barry Manilow!). The rap is played out.
If Darren doesn't try something different, hopefully someone else will.
I'll be skipping the Players Ball this year.

Player's Ball = Pimp and Ho = want to be a pimp = most pimps are, well, "african american" = music to suit the idea = rap
Either way, too loud ANYTHING is no condusive to doing business or talking to people, and that sort of makes it hard to get things done.
I enjoyed the Flynt / Hustler thing last year with the 70's 80's throwback band, that was a bunch more fun that listening to someone rapping (barely) about shootin' dem cop and fuckin' dem hos and doin' dem drugs...
Not that I don't think the Players balls are a good idea, the early ones (like Miami) had the right vibe... now I am not so sure. We'll see, I guess.
Sykk, GWAR would be fun - especially if they have the super high pressure spayers to make sure they get all the people hiding in the corners of the room!
