BOC is swinging through my town, playing a gig at the local theater that seats about 550. Sure I know the tunes. Plus originals Eric Bloom is still singing vocals and Buck Dharma is on lead guitar. $35 per ticket. Stay home or Go?

John Cougar Lunchbucket Oct 23 2008 07:27 AM

I'd salute you if you were about to rock.

metirish Oct 23 2008 07:28 AM

If tickets were $5 I would go , don't go.

Nobody has made a cowbell joke yet.

soupcan Oct 23 2008 07:54 AM

As a guy that has seen America, The Who, Van Halen and The Police in the past year and a half I say go. The music still sounds great (in most cases - Van Halen I'm talking to you.) and you'll have a good time singing along and reminiscing about your high school daze. Don't fear the $35.00 ticket price.

Is it $35 before or after the TicketScalper "convenience charge"?

metirish Oct 23 2008 07:57 AM

I said don't go but I was distracted and apparently I voted GO...

Go Go, Godzilla!

sharpie Oct 23 2008 08:25 AM

Rather than watch TV on a Wednesday night, obviously, GO. I mean, since there won't be a Met game on.

themetfairy Oct 23 2008 08:44 AM

I'd say that if you have to ask us, that probably means that you don't really want to go.

]Give Me Centrism or Give Me Death! By Chuck Klosterman ... THE TEN MOST ACCURATELY RATED ARTISTS IN ROCK HISTORY! ... 3. Blue Öyster Cult:The BÖC song everyone pays attention to is the suicide anthem “Don’t Fear the Reaper.” However, that song is stupid and doesn’t use enough cowbell. The BÖC song almost no one pays attention to is the pro-monster plod-athon “Godzilla,” and that song is spine- crushingly great. So, in the final analysis, Blue Öyster Cult is accurately rated—by accident. This happens on occasion; look at Scottie Pippen. ...

$35 seems kinda high, unless there are other decent acts on the bill. We've had Del Leppard with Billy idol, Styx with REO and so on. I like concerts. Go and have fun.

metirish Oct 27 2008 05:11 AM

Did you go?

="soupcan"] The music still sounds great (in most cases - Van Halen I'm talking to you.) and you'll have a good time singing along and reminiscing about your high school daze. Who sings for them now?

soupcan Oct 27 2008 10:38 AM

Who sings for who?

AG/DC Oct 27 2008 10:57 AM

Van Morrison is definitely not singing with Them anymore.

sharpie Oct 27 2008 11:01 AM

Roger Daltrey still sings for Who.

metirish Oct 27 2008 11:51 AM

But I can't explain (Can't explain) Yeah, hear what I'm saying, girl (Can't explain)

Kong76 Oct 27 2008 12:36 PM

Go. I'm thinking of going to see them at Mohegan Sun on 11/15. Two shows that night in that Wolf Den thing I guess.

You've got to go with an equally daring buddy here so you can split the risk between two households. Otherwise you spend all night with the wife saying to each other, "Well do you wanna? I dunno, do you?" If it sucks, one of you feels horribly guilty. Usually the one with the testes. John Cougar Lunchbucket Oct 30 2008 05:23 AM So did you fear the reaper? Or buy the sneaker? Farmer Ted Nov 12 2008 06:51 AM Bought the sneaker. The Teds decided they had enough cow bell. Taking a pass on the show tonight. soupcan Nov 12 2008 07:16 AM Somewhere Christopher Walken is weeping. Edgy DC Jan 15 2009 11:45 AM Tomorrow night at the Clear Channel-controlled State Theater in Falls Church, VA. Smithereens. $20 a pop. Stay or go? metirish Jan 15 2009 11:52 AM Only if they are paying you the $20 should you go. Farmer Ted Jan 15 2009 11:54 AM $20 is respectable. Would pay $10 just to hear A girl like you. Edgy DC Jan 15 2009 11:55 AM Scratch and meow! John Cougar Lunchbucket Jan 15 2009 12:08 PM I'd go, I think. They might do somerthing like play an entire Beatles set, and it's always possibleDiNizio has congestive heart failure. But I'm so lame I didn't make it out to see Marshall Crenshaw play for free, in Brooklyn, the other night, so don't listen to me. metsguyinmichigan Jan 15 2009 12:08 PM That seems pretty inexpensive for a decent band! Go and have fun! themetfairy Jan 15 2009 12:11 PM If you have to ask us, then you don't really want to go. Edgy DC Jan 15 2009 12:15 PM Yeah, but I'm old and fat and farty, and I may not know what's good for me. Kong76 Jan 15 2009 12:42 PM Go, and ask the wife to wear a Jeannie Shrimpton doo and dress black as coal. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/hERot7SrVYo&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/hERot7SrVYo&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> Edgy DC Jan 15 2009 01:12 PM Oooh, it's like a Richenbacher party.
