VAN HALEN To Save Concert Industry?

[jero]

Why the hell should VH tour... they just announced new striped beanies and ties...

They need another stadium to display all the striped shit

Well, maybe When It's Love revived the casio business.

Do you mean day-glo watches or cheesy keyboards?

I believe you just answered your own question.

But she will sell out shows. She is very popular.

This queer is ready...

So was Billy The Big Mouth Bass. Doesn't mean it was quality merchandise or that you wanted to hear it more than once.

[ELVIS]

Dude, you must be getting old...

Lady Gaga is very popular and she is pulling all the stops in the same way KISS or Alice Cooper did in the 70's...

I don't care for her music, but a lot of people like it...

I do like how she plays the press and the media...she's not stupid at all...

And she seems to be popular amongst queer male nurses, too.

Cheers! :bottle:

You'd be the first to know, eh ??

I doubt that has anything to do with music.

If you ran around with a piece of meat on top of your head, you'd be the Belle Of The Ball too....

...wait a minute...I forgot who I was talking to.

When Led Zeppelin released In Through The Out Door, it single handedly dragged people into record stores, people who then also grabbed anything else that was on sale. By and large, that is considered to have saved the then failing record industry in the late 1970s. So using that as a yardstick, just out of curiosity, when did Van Halen "save the business" the first time, if ever?

That was a dirty trick on Zep's part. Releasing 6 different album covers and all of them covered in brown paper so you couldn't really see which one you're getting. Buy 10 copies and trade with your friends! Many sales were a false inflation by record collectors.
