any act that is arrogant enough to charge $130+ for a ticket needs to be slapped and sent to work at mcdonalds for a few months so they can remeber where they came from. I've seen a lot of concerts and many of them were good, a few were really good but the majority of them were let downs because the music didn't sound as good live ( which I think is slam on the bands because they aren't as good as you would think and need the studio trickery to sound good ) I saw GnR right when the user your illusion discs came out and almost all the original people were still in the band. they were 45 minutes late then 3 different times axl went off about the spotlights and threatened to leave the crowd pleaded for him to stay and I couldn't help but think : "fuck this guy he's making like it's my fault he can't hire lighting guys that do as he asks and that I should feel honored to have paid $30 to see him. He's the one that should be honored that 15,000 people dropped $30+ to come see his drug addicted ass."
Anyway after that night I pretty much stopped listening to them. The most I have ever payed for a concert was Roger Waters and I paid $50 and it was one of the best shows I've ever seen.
When I lived in Los Angeles Santana came to the Greek Theatre and I saw every seat in the first 3 rows were $300 a seat. I'm not a big Santana fan and he comes off like a really nice guy, but asking that much for a ticket to a concert really tells you what type of person he is.
Anyway, I'm done ranting and am going to bed.
