The dude on American Idol

By the way, I'm making a list of all artists mentioned in this thread so I can get pricing on all options.

I'm going to guess that 95% of the options thrown so far are too expensive.

And Sykkboy, I'd have to line the entire venue in plastic garbage bags for GWAR, I've worked with them a bunch of times.

I do agree, it would be an experience every webmaster would remember, and probably even enjoy.

Shit gets bloody.

NIN or Korn would rock....Id also like to see mickey avalon.

Sanjaya?

I'm looking into another reality show star, I'm looking into New York (From I Love New York on VH-1)

But she'd have to be hella cheap and then she'd have to blow Juicy.

Social D or Rancid would be amazing

Robbie Williams

If you are serious about Robbie, I can get you in touch with him directly.


My wish - Spinal Tap.

Velvet Revolver......


Hit me up if you want to talk to them, I might be able to help get a good price.

I'm keeping it as a surprise for now, I have a few offers on the table, waiting to see how if they would really do it at the price I'm willing to pay.

But, in the meanwhile, I'm looking into the rock options too.

I definitely want to add some new elements to the Ball this summer. Time for a slight change.

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.
