Top Ten Stadium Bands

[Hummarstra]

I found this on utube. Apparently it was broadcast in 2000 for British audiences only, but the writing and commentary are so witty I thought it deserved a feature thread all its own.

#10 - Kiss

Yeah, I remember this show. Not too sure what the criteria is - I think it is success (ie album and ticket sales.) I remember thinking, "how the fuck did Poison score so highly?"

I imagine that Kiss would be a lot higher up that list had the programme been made for a US audience.....

[Coyote]

At least it had Alice Cooper as the host...

[letsrock]

VH is always #1.
