If the Players Ball had a rock band, who would you want to see?
 

I'm going through artists right now preparing for the summer Players Balls in Vegas and Florida.

I have some excellent back up options incase I decide to do a rap/hip hop artist, so don't be surprised if that's what I roll with.

BUT...

As always, I'd still love to do a rock show but rock artists are almost always too expensive (over $100k).

So, while throwing out there who you'd like to see, I'm also looking for the "value deal" artists. Some group that rocks, has some fame, we all know of them, but they might not be as much as other big artists.

I'll say this, IF we can raise enough money to go big budget, of course I'd love to do any of the following:

Kid Rock, NIN, Marilyn Manson, Korn, Metallica, Ozzy, Aerosmith and more, but I can tell you that they are all a fortune and maybe not that realistic for the smaller shows coming up.

With that being said, throw some other options besides the ones I just listed. I'm looking for a realistic options.

Where's my music people?

Prove to me you guys want a rock show.

what are ur hiphop artist/ rap back up options??

korn tool limp bizkit stained 3doors down

Korn would be cool

taylor hicks

System of a Down

Dick Delicious and The Tasty Testicles

Not Great White, they may burn the place down and kill 100 people in the process.

Wow I would love to see a rock show this time. Mind you I was blowed away by ice cube.

I think Nin is a good choice.

Im so pumped for this!

Nine Inch Nails would be good. But maybe you will do better to get something a little softer like RHCP or someone like that who will appeal to a broader audience.

Motley Crue, Godsmack, Foo Fighters, Staind, The Used, Velvet Revolver, Avenged Sevenfold

That would be sweet!

ACDC would rock too. But I would imagine they would be a fortune as well.

Dj Tom Craft

aerosmith would be amazing, kid rock or korn would fit the bill as well

Kiss would be at the top of the list for me, but that ain't happening.

guns n roses you could score for cheap lol

those of you mentioning staind, have you ever seen them live? Wow they sucked ass.

that's a nice little line-up right there!:thumbsup

amongst the value deal bands:
Buckcherry puts on a decent show

GWAR would be insane and probably a little too intense, but they work cheap ;-)

LEROY JENKINSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS


if you cant get him


LINKIN PARK

Wolfmother - not going to be TOO expensive, and they put on a great live show.

:2 cents:

GWAR would be perfect!! They put on a great stage show and everyone would have a blast

fishbone

Nickleback

SO theyre not Rock Rock... but Google had Ozomatli play one of their parties once and they were pretty damn good.

And this is an odd choice buttttt... has anyone heard of Kid Beyond.

www.kidbeyond.com

Check out his youtube vids. This guy is the best beatboxer, live looper I have ever seen and puts on a great show.

System of a Down

System of a Down, Social Distortion, Staind, Cypress Hill, Pennywise, NOFX, Rob Zombie, and of course Korn would be great if you could.

death cab for cutie
bet that you could get them for a good price

NIN, Staind, Tool, is what I'd like to see - that I would pimp it out for.

Edit: Oh and fuck how could I forget Motley Crue!

Not really A rock band but you should get The Bloodhound Gang.. They kick ass and songs would fit right in.

Rammstein?

Nonpoint :)

I second Death Cab and System of a Down.

not everyone knows this band, but I'm sure that they wouldn't charge an arm and a leg. They have a new cd coming out soon.

LEROY JENINSSSSSSSS!!!! lmfao

Try to get the White Stripes ;) I'd go see that one!

lol that would be one of the worst types of music for a show like the players ball. :1orglaugh

no question about it

come on, out at the beach, little warm breeze, little death cab. it would be nice

Excellent choice.

We did them already in Vegas once. Maybe around 2000 or 2001, opening up for the original band members of P-Funk and Ice T hosted it.

Yeah they are cool...but I don't think they fit the "affordable category"
