OK, here's what's up.
I started a themed party a while back, pimp and ho. Did a format that worked for that type of theme. I'd like to branch out into other themes. Knowing that there's a huge interest in entertaining the more mature webmasters, bigger players and people who just don't like hip hop, we're gonna cater to you. I'm brainstorming, nothing official, but I think it's worth trying. Shit, I've grown up too, but I still love the Players Ball stuff and feel like expending. So, KB and I will go live in a few minutes in video with audio and we'll discuss the options. No live chat room, just this thread. Gonna think some ideas, then post the link. Feel free to get more input on specifics in this thread. If we do rock, who would you want to see? If we do DJ's, name some that you think webmasters would enjoy. No hip hop ideas, that's the Players Ball. I'm thinking of doing a new thing with a new theme. I also will have private areas for talking, no music or low music areas. Let's see some ideas int his thread. Digweed, Oakenfold, Sasha? QBert? Apollo? Name the DJ you think would be a nice vibe. Cheap Trick? Blues Traveler? Kid Rock? BB King? Donna Summer? I need suggestions more then rough ideas. Let's hear it. |

WOW D-Money - you have evolved.......
I know that trying to find different talent is going to be a whole lot more trouble for you. I am not sure how it would all turn out, because there is a whole crop of webmasters who do like the Players Ball like it is...... but, I don't think it is the real biz people. For many of them, it was fun - but, like many things, the novelity has worn off. It all comes down to monetory support..... I for one would like to have a quieter type thing (like the PH  - but you have to go where the support is! Congratulations on having an open mind:-) I hope you find the Sponsors you need to make this a 'new happening. |

Very interesting
I'd say Aerosmith as they have a very wide appeal but I don't think they would be in the budget Speaking for the older crowd, not really interested in DJ's If there are theme rooms or even different rooms that another story To me DJ's, techno (is there even a such thing anymore), industrial, trance and the other somewhat similar branches of music just aren't conducive to a good time However to others they may be Prodigy, Chemical Brothers?

D..
Rather than catering to the webmasters aged between 13-21 why not cater to the ones that actually make money and book someone from the 70's or 80's? Just a thought. Regards, Lee |

I'd love an excuse to break out the spandex...most of the hairbands are reforming lately and playing small clubs, so would have some appeal for us older types as well as be easy on the budget.

Prodigy newest cd (releasing in 2 weeks time) is a disappointment
 Something a bit more laid back attitude, but still have style... Salsa, Jazz, Irish Pub... or just throw a US version of the Oktoberfest

slavdogg - glad someone else gets the Bloodhound Gang
Sykk has a good point, pretty sure Vince Neil is affordable (I see him play a local club here ever 6 months) and he does all Motley Crue songs Plus Vince Neil loves porn, not sure how well that would go over with everyone though

If you could get different rooms - for different themes, that would really work. Have a DJ just for dance music & tell him what YOU want (DJ's tend to stray into what they like instead of what is requested sometimes)
Geesh, I would be happy with Dick Clark & Peter /Paul & Mary. hahahahahaha - How about a 'hippie party, or is that before everyones time....ahahaha? I won't mention a sock hop - that would really date me  You might want to carry this thread into tomorrow. Many have already left their computers for the day. |

Vince Neil tours occasionally with his own band but they do all Crue songs, have seen them here in Baltimore at least 5 times in the past 2.5 years Vince Neil looks to be having a great time, sometimes they don't even bother with a song list and just get the crowd to yell what they want to hear One Janurary Vince Neil flew here right from the AVN show, from Vegas right into a blizzard Tommy Lee is doing who knows what, I think he was playing somewhere in Vegas Mick Mars is setting home, he has a degenerative bone disease

Among the many ideas here so far, I like Lee's. Not only does a group from the 80s (give or take five years) have appeal to the older crowd, but they are more affordable and easier to book, I'm sure. Win-win for everyone.
Bands ... Hmm. The Brian Seltzer Orchestra would go better with Zoot Suits than hip-hop as a match. Who else is out there these days who's not unaffordable but on the other hand aren't dead or singing with oxygen tanks?  Dire Straits? The Fabulous Thunderbirds? Eddie Money still around? |

Club Casa Rossa party. Wasn't even the original members. Weak. I agree with an older rock band, and some cool DJ's with quiet rooms for the old folks. Some suggestions are great, some re-affirm how great the Players Ball talents really are.

Man, I this could go all over the road...
You could do a lounge lizard party, go for a jazz fusion or drums'n'bass feel, keep it a little more calm, slowly sink into a more hardcore dance mix as the night goes on... if you want music acts that are different, let's see... GWAR - Me and Sykkboy would have a blast, would probably clear the room in seconds. Jerry Lee Lewis: The killer is still at it. Any number of ignorant 70s and 80s bands are out there... Deep Purple, Scorpions, yadda yadda... but they would all be MAJOR loud. Something unique might be an "unplugged" style show... that could help keep your noice levels down. I dunno... it is hard to hit everyone's preference. Alex

Geez, I guess I'm going to agree with Lee too!
 The 70's-80's band idea is great for us old folks... still loved that Hustler party @ House of Blues with that 70's band... what were they called? That's right - Boogie Knights... that was pretty cool. One of the better parties I'd attended at the Vegas venues. Just recently introduced my teenagers to The Rocky Horror Picture Show this week, so of course that's stuck in my head as a theme party. I remember a discussion a long while back with the old timers about memories of going to the midnight show... that could be a fun blast from the past complete with costumes and all... *sigh* (showing MY age now - lol) Anyway... I think this is great that you're bringing this to the people D$ - excellent idea!

On the off-chance that the 70's 80's theme is taken i would like to suggest the following groups.. Tom Petty - Already been mentioned i know but its been years since i saw the guy in concert. Dire Straits - Again already mentioned but ive never had a chance to see them live Cyndi Lauper - I like her music Crowded House - Not heard much of them in a few years. Regards, Lee |

dire straights
 as for crowded house ... they split up several years ago, neil and tim are back as 'the finn bros' or something crap. not impressed with any of their music so far, but then i'm a crowded house fan from way back so i'm biased.  I think the reality of this event is whoever has a contact or knows someone who knows someone - that's who we'll end up with. Not sure that anyone has 6 figures + these days to contribute to pay a band to show up. Unless D$ can get a band to play for the love of porn LOL Why not just find a really good cover band that can play everyone's music choices? its more realistic. or if all else fails .... karaoke

I can't promise I can make it happen for sure, but I'm trying my hardest.
First you get a feel for sponsors and dollars, then you search for talents within that budget. I love Crowded House. They'd be a great show. Another I'd look into for pleasing the masses and keeping the right vibe, Steve Miller Band. I'm not sure if they still tour, but I'll look into it. Cheap Trick would rock too. Cover bands are a decent idea as long as there is a main attraction that is a famous artist. Boogie Nights is over priced and it's not the same group, it's more of a franchise of bands, but it doesn't matter since it's all cover tunes anyway. The loud metal and glam rock bands are a good idea if it were acoustic. Noice levels turn off certain crowds I'd like to appeal to. So I gather a cool rock band early on, then a cool alternative DJ for later. The hard thing is making sure the room doesn't clear. How does this sound. 1 night for a rock show. Keep the rock fans all night. Another night for Alternative artists including DJ's and post modern type of music. Then the Players Ball the last night keep true to that theme and music. 3 nights to please everyone and I'll finally make almost everyone happy. With some quiet time during each for the old folks. A 3 day festival of parties organized by yours truly, backed by different sponsors for each event. Each event named differently. Who would sponsor and for which themed night? Rock, Alternative and Hip Hop. |

GWAR works fairly cheap and would do it for a low 5 figures, if that and beer plus maybe hobknobbing with a couple porn stars. I'm also looking to book Satan's Chherleaders for the show, but have no details until i hear back from their repsective management companies.

http://enjoyment.independent.co.uk/music/i...sp?story=553139 they did a tour of USA and Canada mid this year, not sure if they are still on tour though They had a massive 'farewell crowded house' concert about 5 years ago in sydney - still devastated I missed it! D$, not sure about 3 parties ;/ but I guess it depends on the sponsorships you get ... personally I will never sponsor another 'party' - there are cheaper, more effective ways to brand a product. I don't see the value in having a banner in a room full of drunk/drug fucked people who won't even remember who sponsored it. While I know I don't represent the majority, almost everyone is smarter (and tighter) with their money these days ... but I don't attend shows these days though so you could safely ignore all of the above

Sykk, you think maybe you can get GWAR to do X-cops as a warm up? Last time I saw them there were doing that, funny as heck...
D$, another choice is to look to see who is playing Vegas around that time, and see if they can open up their schedule for another event or a private run. You might be able to get off a bunch cheaper that way. Alex

Queens is affordable. Foo Fighters is probably too expensive. Usually artists price themselves by how many hits they perform. The more current the hits, the higher the price. Sykk, Gwar would be a fun show. It's messy though. Make sure your venue knows about the bloody mess on the floor. Doing 3 nights of parties is unrealistic considering the state of our industry and sponsorships, but it's nice to get your feelers out there and see if maybe the industry can afford it. I'm looking into a magician to pull a sheep out of a hat as well. For Serge. |
