My friend told me she heard THE CURE was going to be playing around here soon (at the same place THE GO GOS will be playing in May). I guess that means that the tickets for THAT will be $40 as well.

I hate to sound cheap...but I really think $40 is a lot to spend to see these 80s acts!

I guess I feel this way because when I go to see 80s metal acts in smaller venues the tickets are between $15-$20. I saw W.A.S.P., TWISTED SISTER, LA GUNS, DOKKEN to name a few for less than $20! I also got a great deal on KISS with POISON tix a few years back, that double bill cost me less than $20!
Sometimes, tand these are my favorite deals, you will get 3 or 4 good acts for one price. We went to see FIREHOUSE, RATT, QUIET RIOT and CINDERELLA for about $30 last year.....all those acts are great so that's a fair price.

For awhile POSION would tour with a few other metal bands and the tickets would be about $30-$40. I saw POISON, WARRANT and QUIET RIOT (ENUFF Z'ENUFF was there too but I got there late) all for $30. Thats why I cant see paying MORE than that for JUST THE GO GOS or JUST THE CURE.

Last year my husband surprised me with DURAN DURAN tickets. They were over $100 a ticket!!!!! Ay caramba! He also spent $100 a ticket on OZZFEST!

I want CHEAP TICKETS, dammit!!!!

$100 tix are good for Ozzfest considering you get the chance to see 15-20 bands...

The Cure live are superb.I was fortunate to see them a few years back during a UK tour.They played for nearly 3 hours non stop.Now that was value for money.
The Sisters of Mercy have a new tour lined up too.Starts in Las Vegas i think and gets over here in April.These are a good band to see live too,although I wouldnt think they have much to promote lately,seeing as their output over the last few years has been very poor.Shame really cos i loved the Sisters.

The Cure are my favorite band, and I sadly have never seen them. I would pay that price to see them, I just wish I could have seen them in the 80's instead of now. Robert Smith looks a bit ridiculous for his age to be wearing that Edward Scissorhands makeup. He shuld just take off the makeup, I mean his early videos didn't have all that comsetics on him. As for Sisters of Mercy, I would like to see them, they are playing here in March. I heard they have this long standing conflict with the record company, so that is the reason why they have had no new material for the past 16 years!I can't believe it's been that long since Vision Thing.

Morrisey is playing my city, but at £30.00+(that's around $55.00) for the privilege - Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now.

But it's not all bad news, The Wedding Present are touring & it only cost me £16.00 so [Razz] to Mozza.

Moz has been elusive for me too, he played in some weird places in Canada, but ignored my area a few years back, can you believe that? I heard recently that Johnny Marr and Andy Rourke reunited for a few performances for some british charity show.

Wow...if Moz would reunite The Smiths. That tour would be huge. I would travel several hundred miles for that one! We'll have to keep our eyes open Riptide. His new album comes out in April, I believe.

I don't know if the Smiths would ever reunite. Too much beef, Marr between MOz and Joyce, it's only Rourke that the band aren't mad at. When Joyce sued Moz and Marr a few years back for unpaid royalties that really made things worse.

I would just love to see Marr do something like the Smiths. I saw his band the Faith healers a few years ago, and they were playing this bad, boring type Oasis rock. Hadrdly any jangle in his playing anymore. Just remember, that Mox is very eccentric and unreliable, and I know this kind of behaviour pushed Marr to the edge. Moz has cancelled a bunch of concerts over the past few years due to supposed illness. I think the end of the Smiths was when Moz stood the rest of tha band up for a video shoot that never happened. it's a shame, but that's life.

I know the odds are slim but maybe just maybe...I'm also hoping The Police would get back together.

I betcha Marr would get the jangle back if they would reunite! [Big Grin]
