Kid Rock would be kewl.

Robbie is my musical hero.
I would love to see him on stage at the playersball.
:thumbsup

Edit: Ah...he lives in LA now right?

Here's the rock list I'm turning in, almost all of the options posted.

System of a Down
Social Distortion
Staind
Pennywise
NOFX
Rob Zombie
Korn
Rancid
Daughty (American idol)
INXS
LINKIN PARK
White Stripes
Death Cab
Tool
Motley Crue
Nickleback
GWAR
Guns N Roses
Godsmack
Foo Fighters
Velvet Revolver
Smashing Pumpkins
Lenny Kravitz


I added a couple more.

Iggy and the Stooges

I have seen RHCP in concert . . . they sucked.

Good call

Sons of the fat bitches!!!!!

PONG


Yes, PONG

Man I'm telling you, The Bloodhound Gang is the only kinda rock band that would fit the Player's Ball style of a show. Other than someone like Kid Rock maybe.

The Ballad Of Chasey Lain
F.U.C.K

Hell I'd even try and coax you out of a ticket if you brought in the Bloodhound Gang :winkwink:

One band that is always cool and probably affordable is Cheap Trick!

"The Dream Police they inside of my Head"

bodycount ;)

I was half joking with GWAR, but they would be fun...and you could offset the plastic costs by having someone sponsor imprinted ponchos/rainslickers and maybe even the plastic coverings themselves....and of course having someone sponsor the cleanup towels too ;-)

I've been trying to get them for years. They'd be awesome, but they've been wanting $50k to $100k for a while now, I'll ask and see if they went down in price.

Just spoke to someone on their label, would probably be between 50k & 80k and closer to 80k really.

I'm already looking into that, forgot to mention it.

Ice T or Bodycount.

Yes - it seems the public doesn't mob him here like they do in Europe.

shit i just saw this! i'm down for Korn but would love to see Rise Against. to late to add them? fuck it, i'm hittin you up now

bodycount!!!

The Smiths Reunite One Night Only At The 2007 Players Ball!

OMG!!!! Lubna I didn't know if anyone else on here knew of them!!! I tried to tell him that the last time - GET OZOMATLI!!!! THEY ARE AMAZING LIVE and put on such a show. They get the crowd totally involved and you WILL DANCE YOUR ASS OFFFFFF!!!!!

Shinedown, Theory of a dead man, Seether, Breaking Benjamin, Disturbed, Papa Roach

Clutch!!!

Clutch

or

The Sword

Keep them coming.

I'll post some of their prices incase you guys are interested.

I always get a kick out of who's more expensive then who.

That's where I feel I always make the right call, I get the most bang for the buck.

The Tragically Hip!

Here's some alternative ones, probably way cheap, not the real band, but do a damn fine job. (perhaps some good small party alternatives)

The Atomic Punks, tribute to DLR era Van Halen (Ralph does DLR better than DLR nowadays -- atomicpunks dot com) I believe they have media samples as well.. located in so. cal.

Which One's Pink? (whichonespink dot com) - Pink Floyd tribute - check their youtube page off their site. Listening to them, could swear it was PF. - also so. cal.

Metal Skool is always good too, though more rock and comedy, still a good time.. (lead singer of atomic punks is lead for this one as well. their guitarist used to play in a.p.) so. cal.

If an official band. I'd go with Gwar. My only regret about them is not going to their shows sooner. Bring a change of clothes and a towel.

Yes but sadly didnt make the list. They were a total hit at the Google Dance and whats nice is they cover such a broad musical range including rock.

One other that I have seen that is pretty funny and interesting is The Dan Band. Theyve been in The Wedding Singer, Old School, and Starsky & Hutch. Saw them at an Ask Jeeves party, I remember hearing they were a bit expensive but cant name the price off the top of my head. Theyre more music and comedy mixed.

AC/DC would be sweet :thumbsup

please no rap, please no rap, please no rap... Pretty please with sugar on top.. please no more rap.

thats fucking awesome, i post taylor hicks as a joke but you have fucking chris daughtry on as a serious consideration!

:1orglaugh

Ok... Some flaws in a lot of these suggestions...
1. System of a Down has broken up.
2. Limp Bizkit is down for the count.
3. Guns N' Roses is FAR from cheap. They sold out 2 Vegas shows at $175 a pop, and Axl won't leave his chamber for less than probably around 200-500k.

Some of the good suggestions:
Social D
NOFX
Pennywise

...that's about all you'll be able to afford.

D$... Think about my suggestion about Mickey Avalon. He'll relate to rock fans as well as rap fans on a much broader scale. Plus his material is MEANT for the porn industry.

Some other (AFFORDABLE) suggestions:
The Rapture: I saw these guys play the other night at a private party and they SLAYED it.
Videos:
Get Myself Into It : https://youtube.com/watch?v=AaI6hxbifOU
Final 1:28 of The Devil : https://youtube.com/watch?v=JfP4VZqTdhU

Lilly Allen
Trapt
Shiney Toy Guns
Yellowcard
Rise Against
Plain White T's
Peaches
CKY
Kings Of Leon
Dropkick Murphys
Muse
AFI
Bad Religion
Pepper
Flogging Molly
Deftones
Static X
Arctic Monkeys
The STrokes
Tenacious D
Plus 44

Get in touch with me D... I may have a way to get in touch with a few of these bands if you are interested in any. More suggestions? I'm full of em'. :)

i like rage against the machine i think they just got their singer back too.

RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE




good luck :winkwink:

red hot chili peppers.

Its so funny because you can always tell the age of the posters based on what band they suggest:1orglaugh


Be Kind to your elders young men

lovin ur picks!! :thumbsup

hmmm, some of those bands I don't think would do the Player's Ball regardless of budget - honestly I don't think you're gonna ever get Tool or NIN - as much as I love 'em - they take themselves pretty damn seriously & probably wouldn't do this event :2 cents:

you could obviously get a Kid Rock or Limp Bizkit - those guys don't give a shit - Korn might do it - is Kiss still together, heh? Gene Simmons is a total sleaze so I know he'd be down... that's what comes to mind - it's not just the budget but who'd even be willing to play an event like this - rappers don't give a shit - rockers are more concerned with their "cred"

Staind put on a great small show at the Whiskey Beach at Green Valley Ranch which isn't a very large venue and sounded awesome. I think they'd put on a great show.


Otherwise, I say definitely Loverboy... they may not have cowbell but I wanna see if Mike Reno still wears those red leather pants with matching headband.

Greyboy AllStars

or Steve Miller Band

THUNDER PUSSY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we are gonna rock vegas regardless of who they get to play the gig!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! miss u gurl!!

Did anyone mention The Bloodhound Gang..

https://youtube.com/watch?v=iTW8oUV8Aq0

:helpme

Don't think your going to get the Bloodhound Gang

Korn, Metallica, Limp Bizkit and System of a down would be crazy...

Rage just put up a concert together, wonder if you could book them too.

Skynyrd!

Wow... I'd go old school and do smoooooooooth...

Doobie Brothers
Micheal McDonald
Hall and Oats...
