BigAlim Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 I ove the music thiat the band puts out. My question is, if they're putting out exclusively angry music, should they really be charging so much for a ticket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pap Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Got a Rage tattoo when i was 15 Seen them many times. And seeing them again in Edinburgh. Cant even remember what i paid for it and dont care. Money well spent, regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cade Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 They donate significant sums to charity. They play free shows. They're political activists. It's not just music with them. Also, as an aside, a Canadian radio station has been playing "Killing in the name of" on a loop for about four days straight as a protest against the new owners having fired most of the radio station staff.

Bauld Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 I saw RATM live at Download 2010 and they've remained firmly in the top 5 best bands I've ever seen live. They are absolutely ****ing brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its on a par with the Green Day and I assume hampden gigs for other bands. Guns N Roses charging way more and have a premium price gold circle.

Bloody decent value considering we got 4 bands on the bill (Amyl & The Sniffers, Weezer, Fall Out Boy, Green Day). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not bad. £250 is the going rate if you want to get a decent view for the Who or the Stones nowadays... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I thought it was superb value to be fair. I can't get my head around some of these prices. I get that the Stones have been a top live draw for yonks, but it's not like any of them need the money. But the market sets the rate presumably so if folk willingly pay it, it's difficult to argue I guess. If you are a die-hard fan, you've no choice really.

Bauld Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Great value for money couple of days ago. Got my ticket to see Volbeat at the hydro for £48. Special guests Skindred and support from Bad Wolves and Napalm Death. Going to be a brilliant night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
