In this thread what two bands would play at your party in your backyard if you just won 750 million in the lottery (now changed to 2 billion)

by **DWags** 2019-10-28, 18:22

And go

The stones would be playing for sure.

by **kingstonlake** 2019-10-28, 18:25

The Clash would open for the Sex Pistols.

Neither band is my favorite. I’d just like to see the powder keg potential

by **tGreenWay** 2019-10-28, 18:42

That young chick who plays the guitar that Pantry is so horny for, and the Tupac hologram.
IOW, I’m not spending money on entertainment for my moocher friends. If they’re coming to a GreenWay won the biggest lottery party, they’d better come with conversation starters.

Edit: I’d like to add the reason I’m getting the guitar girl, because it solves two problems: First, she’s willing to take the job for peanuts because she needs to build an audience, and Two: Anything to shut Pantry up instead of grumbling all night so the rest of us can have a good time.

Living?

Foos and white stripes probably.
That would be a good show.

by AvgMSUJoe 2019-10-28, 18:54

Dead?

Who knows... Too many. Prime Zeppelin and Beastie boys?
Would be fun.

I’d like to change my answer:

1) The cast of Up With People. America is much too cynical and sophisticated for UWP to be the halftime shows at the Super Bowl anymore, and I kind of feel bad for them. Plus, they’re probably easy to schedule.

2) Fraggle Rock. Need something to keep the kids engaged, as I’m going for a family friendly atmosphere, no disrespect to Hologram Tupac untended.

by **Other Teams Pursuing That** 2019-10-28, 19:20

Yeah, all of them alive or what?

by **Other Teams Pursuing That** 2019-10-28, 19:22

For now I’ll go with the Grateful Dead. I’ll be back for my 2nd.

by **Jake from State Farm** 2019-10-28, 19:23

Dead? I'd take Zappa and the Allman Brothers and/or Tom Petty

I'm getting the impression bands might find you hard to work with. At any price.

by **steveschneider** 2019-10-28, 19:31

Guided by Voices

by **DWags** 2019-10-28, 19:35

How the fuck are you gonna get a dead band to play at your party?

But ok. Two dead two live.

On the contrary, I’m a peach to work with, primarily because there is no price.

You can get a lot of shit done with $750 million.

by **Floyd Robertson** 2019-10-28, 19:47

Rise Against
Stray Cats

The Clash
The Ramones

by **steveschneider** 2019-10-28, 19:53

Band #2 Botfly and I’d rent out the box house and get 17 kegs from that keg store right behind it.

by **tGreenWay** 2019-10-28, 19:56

What the hell are you talking about, Steve?

by **tGreenWay** 2019-10-28, 19:59

Living:
Springsteen
Dropkick Murphys

Dead:
B.B. King
The Dead or Beastie Boys (tbd)

by **kingstonlake** 2019-10-28, 20:23

Living:
That group that sings cake by the ocean
That group that sings that song in that commercial

Dead:
Springsteen
Oasis

by **Nordic** 2019-10-28, 20:24

Motley Crue and Lynyrd Skynyrd

RIP to da backyard

by **Cameron** 2019-10-28, 20:25

Dead:
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Alive:
Oasis
Paul McCartney

Didn't pick The Beatles as one of my two deads, but going through shit off the top of my head, I couldn't think of a second band with all the members still living that I'd rather see than McCartney.

I'd have questions before I made a decision.

by **The Pantry** 2019-10-28, 21:01

$750M and only two bands?

by **The Pantry** 2019-10-28, 21:06

I'll go with Foo Fighters and Sheryl Crow. I'm sure she and Dave Grohl could work out something interesting.

Oooh, love them! I wanna change my answer to this.

If one of you wants to schedule R. Kelly,
never mind, I can’t say it.

by **kingstonlake** 2019-10-28, 21:46

I think Madonna would co-headline with him.

I don’t think you understood the direction I was going to go with my offensive comment.

by **tGreenWay** 2019-10-28, 22:19

I need a clarification, DWags. If I change one of my acts to Peter Frampton, would he be counted in the living or dead category? If Frampton comes alive at the time of his show; does that mean he was dead before then?

by **steveschneider** 2019-10-28, 22:27

tGreenWay wrote:What the hell are you talking about, Steve?

You don’t know where the Box House is?

by **Other Teams Pursuing That** 2019-10-28, 22:36

Does it have to be a band? Can it be a DJ?

by **GRR Spartan** 2019-10-28, 22:45

I'd rent the Meijer Garden Stage venue because with about $500K after taxes I don't need 250+ of my friends, relatives, lawyer and accountant and their families knowing where I live and telling others.

Music - The Mavericks and Vince Gill

by SawGreen 2019-10-28, 22:45

Ok, so I'm sticking with the back yard theme. Arena rock is out, and more of a background theme.

Random selection, I get Trio to reunite for the opener, and let Joe Jackson bring it home.

by **InTenSity** 2019-10-28, 23:34

Tool and Kidz bop Kidz.

by **Travis of the Cosmos** 2019-10-28, 23:37

Mozart and Beethoven Probably tbh as long as we’re talking zombie artists.

You'll likely hate me for this but this post I gotta do it.

True story. Jingles worked for a promotion company in college that did shows on campus. Circa 79 or 80. Frampton played the Auditorium and Jingles was his driver/host.

Frampton went to an after hours at Jungles apartment and broke his kitchen table. ( Dancing on it). Drugs may or not have not have been involved.

Mods: please move this post to the Jingles thread.

Let’s go ahead and assume I don’t. TBH, I thought you meant Bounce House but mistyped the word.

I’ve always been a big fan of Joe Jackson, but you might regret bringing him in for your backyard show. First, he does a lot of instrumental compositions, which would be excellent for your background idea, but so many are slow AF. Even more importantly, he’s been on a Smoker’s Rights campaign for 20 years now. The guy would constantly be interrupting his own sets to talk about how smokers have been relegated to second class citizenry. Do you really want that debate raging when you’re trying to hit on the ladies?
