Methinks this begs for a Merc staff member concert challenge.

This is why rock is dead. Kids today just don't get it. 7-8am is just before bedtime, not "getting up extremely early." Duh.

Seriously? Who the fuck thinks anyone is going to get up and be somewhere between 7-8AM to "save" rock? That's the most fucktarded idea I've heard in a long time.

FOR ONCE I AGREE WITH D!!! Please make Erik Henriksen go to this.

I'm all for more rock in this flaccid town but...um...I don't know about any of these bands.

Who or what exactly is it we are saving by giving money? The promoter maybe?

Broadcasting - radio and TV is dieing. Maybe old people still think it is useful. But everyone else is streaming, downloading, Pandoraing, torrenting, iTuning and Netflixing over the Internet. Or they are DIYing it with Garage Band or on real instruments in their basement. Let's use the airwaves for something more useful than rock and bad ads.

rock isn't dead, just the played out sound and image of all those bands and lame stuff like "save the _____" fake rallies for nothing

Queensryche? Really?

This is a really weird lineup.
