The rythme is the base and the base is the treble

AC/DC would put on a mind blowing concert.

why not list a few options in the budget range?

velvet revolver would kick ass for sure

the bloodhound gang would fit in too & probably wouldn't cost too much... would be great for an opening act

fly in chasey lain to be onstage for that one too

Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, or System of a Down

Oh and Staind

A rock band with a mixing table would be nice...

But I really like the idea of a yacht rock band because you can easily theme the event around it.

HipHop: Deliquent Habits
Rock: Good Old Van Halen, or even just for the kicks Ozzy :-p
A bit of Both: Jay-Z & Linkin Park

As a token of appreciating for my suggestions....get me Shakira for my hotel room

Did you mean "posters" or "posers" there are some pretty limp wristed suggestions flowing in this thread.

Blink 182

i have a really hard time picturing AC/DC playing anyinthing less then a sold out 10,000+ seat arena. but it'd be cool as hell :winkwink:

Motley Crue would cost an arm and a leg, could probably do a Vince Neil show for a lot less though :2 cents:

I just thought of a few more for the list:

Alexisonfire
Clutch
Incubus
Mad Caddies
Goldfinger
Mars Volta
Queens of the Stone Age

This list could go on for a while. Please do not get Nickleback or Velvet Revolver.

Actually, screw it...just get the Roots. They put on a great show and they can play basically everything. I saw them last month and they were doing Led Zep and Bob Dylan covers. Plus they are entertaining as hell.

Are you just looking at typical rock bands? If you're open to indie/electro bands... Black Moustache or CSS or Goldfrapp would be fun. I could email you a list of bands I have contacts for.

The answer is, I'm interested in everything.

One of the pleasures of creating events for webmasters is hipping them to artists they didn't know from or barely knew from. I've had lot's of people tell me they turned into fans of some of these Players Ball artists and bought many of their CD's after the show.

So hip me to to it!

The ROOOOOOTTSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Qwest Love is THE Man. And yes.. they do rock in concert.

Neil Diamond

and yes, I am serious

Are they well known in the US? I think im the only Dutchie listening to them.

Anybody who said Nickleback should be shot. Together with Nickleback.

omfg, no shit man...that and 3 doors down and creed

VOMITROCK

You mean Sanjaya? LOL

THE DISCO BISCUITS

look into it...

Long Beach Dub All-Stars would be cool!

Kid Rocks the only one who can relate to our lifestyles.

Kid Rock all the way :pimp

Were you at the one in SD for Cybernet about 2 years ago?

We had members from that group perform with Half Pint, "Dubcat".

And we were also one of the first people to book LBDAS for our very first Players Ball in 1999, Vegas.

The wrecked my hotel rooms afterwards.

Oh hey, since I have all of these eye balls looking.

We're about to finish up our summer Players Ball sponsorship packages.

Email me if you're interested in the #1 webmaster event of all time.

All time.

#1.

Believe it.

:pimp

I second all these choices

System of a down would be cool, but not possible.. The lead singer will not play another concert no matter how much you pay them... How about Quiet Riot or Scorpions?

pun intended?

Korn would be sick.
System of a Down, only if they don't play that one, "Everybodys going to a party have a real good time...."

Keep the input coming.

I keep sending my booking agent emails every 2 minutes with more and more names for him to get prices on and contact.



Hey, on another note.


I've decided to build a new brand for a new era of Rock and Roll parties for webmasters.

The Players Ball will continue on it's normal course of hip hop style artists.

But now, a new party name will be born with rock as the theme.


I'm going to post another thread with the new options, get a vote going.

So here's your chance to help D$ build another 10 years of events catering to the rock crowd.

I'll post the link to the new name options in a second. And if you can think of a better name, go for it.

Chilli Peppers. But make sure you don't give Anthony Kiedis any free passwords, he'll blow up your servers.

linkin park..would be cool!!:thumbsup :thumbsup

Here's the link to the naming of the new rock event, the next D$ Joint.

http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showthread.php?t=732045

Help me decide this one so I can build it, then you all can come.

Tiger Army, up and coming band

Sweet! NOFX or Rancid would be awesome.

yo D, Ed asked me to tell you his recommendations are Slayer and Rammstein

Jack Johnson for the summer players ball would be so hot!!!

Bare Naked Ladies :)

you can get dropkick murphys for that cheap?...for that price I would pay them just to open up!

Black Oak Arkansas.

OHmigod some of those prices are RIDICULOUS!!!!

Chris Daughtry 100-200k!?!?! Has he even sold that much in albums??

Almost forgot about peaches. She would be pretty interesting and would fit in with the crowd. I think having a chick sing would be pretty hot too.

OK, here's how I see it.

Keep in mind, I pick artists based on how much I think I can from webmasters to sponsor the event. For the summer shows, it seems like people spend a little less then in January.

That being said, I usually set realistic goals based on my measure of interest I get from people to pony up the money. So far, I know I have a few supporters that always show their support, so that tells me I can pull off a party or 2 this summer. If the measure of interest is increased because sponsors are super big fans of the groups, then I can possibly raise more money to afford a bigger name artist. That's how my Players Ball always works.

This time, what I see with these prices I can pretty much pull off any of these at these prices.

Mickey Avalon $15-25k
Ozomotli $15-25k
Social Distortion $22.5K + all expenses
Tenacious D- $50k
Rob Zombie if he?s closer to $60k
The Strokes $20k to $25k
Queens of the Stone Age $35-50k

All of them would be great. For the ones that are priced lower, it leaves me room to add another cheaper artist if the sponsors are stepping up.

The Strokes might be the best call, then add another name to the ticket if things are going well.

in that case, i vote Social D

Air supply.. did anyone say air supply yet?

How do you know and why?

Seen them play live in Phoenix :thumbsup
