    Obviously you've never seen either live or you wouldn't put them in the same category as Madonna & Elton John - I'll write if off to inexperience! I paid less than $100 for my last Bruce show - in the pit - and he played for almost 3 hours so I think I got my money's worth!

    Actually, I saw Bruce- Lincoln Financial Field, $159 tickets, and like I said, F--- U2, no I wont waste my time or money. Thanks for the analysis though, Dr.


    Moron. What happens when you ASSume? Can YOU SPELL douche?

    REM?!?!?! :o Does Stipe still have the hiv or did he bum some meds from magic?


    You're an idiot.

    And R.E.M. is a great live band. Most people who have bothered to see them live will vouch for that.

    The Cure
    Pearl Jam
    NIN
    Radiohead

    I know there aren't a lot of cure fans on this board but if you are into them, they are so amazing live. I saw them twice right before I saw PJ in June and they played 3 hours each time. They switch up setlists like PJ too. On the 2nd night, I heard at least 20 different songs from night 1 (and I believe they played 35 songs each night).

    I've been a Cure fan since high school - never saw them live, though. My dad wouldn't let me go to a concert because he didn't like the looks of Robert Smith. :rolleyes:

    I can't believe they're still touring.
    nothing's changed but the surrounding bullsh1t

    Black Keys were pretty good but their sets are WAY too short for me. Because of it I'll probably never see them again.
