I saw Blink 182 in the new venue in Austin a few weeks ago, great show for three olds. A mosh pit started forming on the floor but the middle aged dudes couldn't keep it up for long.

This looks decent. I even like a good bit of Tantric. However as a 50 year old I'm already going to Power Trip in October and The Sands in November which is 80-90s resort event and more of my taste.

I think every time I see a post of yours on the entertainment board it makes me even more thankful you're my kid's doc Besides actually being a good doctor and all.

It happens to everyone.

So I checked with my wife and our friends we always do dumb stuff with (no upside down pineapple) and we're gonna try for this and then do Islamorada tarpon fishing on the end. Could be epic or could be a fail, but I know we'll have blast either way. Buckcherry could be the key to this cause '01 me wants to see them one more time... price could be the killer, if too much then our trip to Abu Dhabi will take priority to see my BIL

so they are all going to play their one hit song and walk off stage? going to be a quick show.

---

I would think each band would at least play their second minor hit as well.

I saw Zebra recently.

A high school classmate that sees a LOT of 80's bands was there and said he left early because he was bored.

He will absolutely stand at the barricade for Kix, Loudness, Enuff Znuff, Bullet Boys, Firehouse, and all the other one-hit wonder hair bands.

He said "Twisted Sister puts on a better show than Zebra"

I asked him if they play We're Not Gonna Take It and I Wanna Rock over and over for two hours, but he didn't respond.

This reminds me of a Facebook memory that just popped up a couple days ago.

Everclear did a Summerland tour for a few years and one year they had Fuel and Toadies on the bill. They closed with Santa Monica and Brett from Fuel joined in on vocals with Clark from Toadies joining in on guitar. I wrote "College Jim just had a stroke." It was a great show!

They had two hits off the first album, and that entire album was solid.

They two more off the second album.

And they did the best cover of Kashmir I've heard.

What hits did Zebra have? I'm the youngest of 6 who all listened to rock music and I worked in the music industry for several years. I couldn't name one of their songs. I'm not saying that the band sucks but they did not have any hits.

"Tell Me What You Want"

Where was that a hit? Australia?

Zebra:
Who's Behind the Door
#61 US Hot 100
#10 US Mainstream Rock

Tell Me What You Want
#29 US Mainstream Rock

Mashup of the Matrix, ET, and "think of the kids"?

Also, as far as aging bands go.....................

On a whim last September the wife and I flew out to Vegas for Motley Crue / Def Leppard show at Allegiant Stadium.

Joan Jett opened. Not a big fan. But she was amazing on stage. And also her in her 60's.

Poison was next. Also not a big fan. They were ok.

Def Leppard blew my mind. We had more fun than a couple in their 40's should. They stuck with about their top 12-15 songs. Honestly, top three performances I have even seen and back in the day we went to a lot of shows. These guys are in shape and they sound as good as they did in 1988.

Crue came out last. Tommy was the only one that looked in somewhat decent shape. I think Vince was drunk. They just looked and sounded "bloated". We bailed after three songs.

never heard of zebra, and definitely never heard either of those songs.

He actually did an episode of Theo Von's podcast that I happen to listen to at my daughter soccer practice one night. I think he comes off really put together now. He seems grounded and admits and recognizes his past mistakes and issues. I was never a big Creed fan but found myself kind of rooting for him after listening.

---

He has definitely struggled with mental illness and addiction. If the internet is correct, his net worth is only $1MM. That blows my mind considering the number of hit singles they had back in the day. They had some huge songs in the early 2000's that were all over MTV almost nonstop.

Yep. She's a badass.

I was a massive Motley Crue fan back in the 80's and still like to listen to all the things they put out back then, but you couldn't pay me to see them live now. They are such a joke.

Crue is weird. I'm a big fan and have been since I was in the 3rd grade and my brother came home with Shout at the Devil. But if I'm being honest, the only albums I like are Too Fast for Love and Shout At the Devil. I think I like the idea of Motley Crue more than Motley Crue. They are the personification of 80s sunset strip excess and debauchery. And for that, I'll always love them. But solely on the music, I'm not sure how much I truly love them.

Agreed. But The Dirt was actually pretty darn entertaining and did, if accurate, put a bit of a different light on them. I mean, don't get me wrong, they were their own worst enemy and caused their own problems, but it was still pretty endearing. Again, if accurate.

Those two albums are their best no doubt. First time I ever heard them was a Shout at the Devil cassette and my young mind was blown. But I like several songs off Theatre of Pain even though it's one of their weaker albums. I love Girls, Girls, Girls because it reminds me of the summer of 87 which was just the funnest summer of my childhood. We even went to see them in concert that summer. Dr. Feelgood was awesome to me when it came out, but now it's kind of like the Metallica Black album to me. It's the transition point to where I wasn't interested in hearing any new stuff from them after that. I saw them on the Dr. Feelgood tour too. I don't know if either of those concerts were any good. Vince probably sucked because when I go back through youtube videos of them live back then, he was always horrible live. I was just excited to be seeing them back then though.

they have a diamond album and two 6x plat albums.. def. should have multi million net worth.
But reading the interwebs.. it looks like he's claimed he wasn't paid proper royalties.

Googling mark tremonti, net worth of $16m. Yes he has alter bridge and some other bands, but those are pennies in income compared to Creed royalties.

This just showed up on my FB feed.. man are they spying on us or what?

Only a few on the cruise line up showing up here. Creed's "one" was released as a single in dec. 1998.. This chart is July.; a testament to its staying power.
Little did they and the world know that a month after this chart, 'Higher' would be released and stay at number for 17 weeks (on two separate charts), with the album coming out in the fall and eventually going diamond.

Saw them in Dallas on the Theatre of Pain tour when I was in the 5th grade (I'm theoretically in the video since the opening scene is an overhead shot of the crowd heading into Reunion Arena). But I don't think I like a single song on that album. Girls, Girls, Girls was OK and I do still have a soft spot for Wildside. Never liked Dr. Feelgood or anything after that.

Just weird, even to me, how much I think I like them versus how much of their music I actually like. If you asked me to list my favorite bands from the 80s, they are probably one of the first 3 names out of my mouth. But if I limit it to actual songs I like, there's a chance I like more Whitesnake (and even Cinderella) songs. At least for me, they occupy a very strange place in my musical hierarchy.

surprised Get Born Again charted that high. Don't remember that being a big radio hit.
