[Rockindeano]

I'll go with Metallica.

Can they fill an arena themselves? IDK...but still not who I am looking for.

I can literally hear Gunbot 15 miles away, feverishly rummaging through papers and the internet, checking touring acts on Pollstar. He'll no doubt get it first. MG definitely won't get it.

[S2M]

As far Jovi goes my give a damn's been busted since New Jersey...

Yeah we know, complete garbage. Overrated. Stick to those bands where no more than 50 people know who they are dude. Keep spinning that shit you call music, like fuckin Trixter.

And keep getting drunk off Bruce's protein COCKtail....dude hasn't been relevant since you were spanking it to Courtney Cocks....

Hahaha...maybe John Norum can play the fuckin Super Bowl. Until you can adequately articulate a cohesive argument, shut the fuck up.

I was looking at Rascal Flatts and someone mentioned how they were selling out like the Dave Matthews Band. I then remembered seeing a link about them being the top grossing touring act of the decade from a few months back.

[Don]

I was googling touring gross but wasn't going far enough back. I wouldn't have figured it out, without the Rascal Flatts article. Chicago was the one matching the sound criteria but everyone here generally likes them AND they don't sell out very well so I was stumped.

Two other acts a little outside the genre but close enough would be the Eagles and Pink Floyd (if they ever decided to tour again).

Food for thought- Can the Eagles still do it? Can they sell out 22,000 seaters, by themselves?

They're selling out their arena dates without an opener it looks like (Honda Center, Rose Garden,etc.). Their summer stadium dates will have The Dixie Chicks and Keith Urban as openers but that's to be expected.

I just saw them Saturday in Tampa. A completely sold out big hockey arena, every seat around the entire arena sold. No big act to co-headline with, and they sold out. And guess what! They played lots of their newer music and people KNEW it and were singing along! Like it or not, they found a way to stay relevant.

I stand corrected,ouch!

Yep, even the seats behind the stage, completely sold out I haven't been much of a fan since New Jersey, and call them what you want, but they are pretty much the only ones from that "era" who can do that now it seems, with NO co-headliner, so they must have done something right all this time.

LOL, now you are opening up a can of worms. They could have simply thrown on a bootleg cd of last years show and it would sound pretty much identical. And no, I am not going all the way down that road again with a different band, so you not worry.
