Yeah. She only earned $125 mil last year as the top female artist. Her MDNA tour made in the neighborhood of $305 mil. It sounds like she absolutely ruined it for many people.

Here, going platinum has nothing to do with luck it just means a million people are stupid as ****.

I'll give you an example. I can't stand Metallica. I wouldn't make a post that they are the worst and haven't heavily influenced the music scene in their genre. I couldn't give 2 craps whether you like her music or not. I wouldn't be caught dead at one of her concerts, but that doesn't mean she's not a decent entertainer.

She's really not a decent performer anymore. She looks like she's going to break a hip

Oh...I fucking hate Dave Mathews.

Ok, I get it...but check this out. If you don't have time to listen to this full version, pick it up at 5:20. From 7:30 on is musical bliss. Yes, I love live DMB. Thier concerts keep it real. Perhaps it's because I play guitar, cello and other instruments. I really appreciate all the "chaos" of this song. Check it.

I'm seeing them for the first time in June! The drummer is just out of this world IMO.

IMO, they all are. I know that Dave is grating to some. There is always a sellout factor when you hit it big and they did in the early 2000s. But for the old school fans, the concerts never disappoint. Make sure you are in the pit/field.

One thing you will notice though, as we always notice at their shows, is there will be roughly 25% of the crowd that looks confused. They are the ones who came to see Crash, Space Between, and other poppy hits. When a 20 minute version of Jimi Thing or Two step hit their ears, they will be very confused.

And oh yeah, bring your best weed.

LOL. At this point she certainly isn't as agile. You know who I wanted to see in concert at the height of her career and never did get the chance was Tina Turner.

$125M is pretty close to the Cubs payroll, only in America would people shell out to watch/hear sub-standard talent.

Madonna was the first performer that relied heavily on props and manufactured instrumentation.

Would you really pay too see Madonna over let's say these guys?...really??.

My brother and I were helping my mom put up a ceiling the other day and he turned the satellite radio to top 40. I was like don't ever do that again. There was this one song, completely about taking a selfie.

What? Was the Adele, Katy Perry, Adele, Justin Timberlake, Katy Perry, Adele, Pharrell Williams and Beyonce format gettin' you down?

Contemporary radio is shit. I'm convinced the only thing that keeps it alive is the endless supply of soccer moms who don't know how to operate a CD player.

Ok. Please don't dislike me for this... but you're starting to sound like Brett.

I think you need to step away from those religion threads for a while....

I refuse to use green font because I consider it an affront to human intelligence, like training wheels for wit. Please don't make me reconsider.

The sarcasm was noted so that won't be necessary. I just felt compelled to make sure we weren't losing a free mind to the "Everything is wrong except for the stuff I think is right" crowd.

I love DMB but the last couple of concerts kinda sucked. Also, they aint the same without old Leroi. R.I.P.

Nope, no chance of that.

What's a CD player? Does it play mp3's and can it access the Internet?

Worst I've seen in person was Queensryche. The voice was disappointing and then we got talked down to between the songs. Jeff whoever was an arrogant sack of crap.

We metalheads call him Geoff Taint and the Ryche fired him two years ago. Todd la Torre is the new singer and he has the range Taint lost.

They put on a great show this past summer for me and mine. I am sad about Leroi as well, but they are doing a good job IMO. Sometimes it takes two horn players!
