I can remember watching groups like Van halen, AC/DC, Scorpions etc. very cheap tickets were around 15 bucks max.. but then again it was the earrly 80's last concert i saw that was good was george thoroughgood in toledo it was a free concert not a lot of poeple there but he put on a good show nevertheless. Ive been to more bad concerts than i care to remember. Aerosmith, brian adams,survivor, they sucked bad back in the day... now my age is probably showing but i just cant get into the alternative invasion thats all the rage now. one of the kids that works for me listens to it drives me up the wall. all the bands sound the same, the vocals guitars etc. what happened to when music was inventive and groups had a distinctive sound. it seems the guitar solo has gone to pot as welll none of these kids seem to play their instruments very well. At 39 maybe im just getting too old or stubborn to adapt. i have diversified into a lot of different genres just cant stand rap, alternative or twangy country.
