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.

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...
http://www.channel101.com/shows/show.php?show_id=152

For all of you that think Dr Dre and Snoop created old school...

http://www.channel101.com/shows/view.php?media_id=1537

Mike McDonald straight out of Compton!

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.
