Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2003 Europeans are generally known for preferring heavier music. Britney is going to be MURDER ON STAGE. But hey, look at the bright side: if it was in Sweden, she'd DEFINITELY be mutilated while all 12 of the original black metallers in the crowd cheered.

1234-5678 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2003 Britney was at the last Rock In Rio (with GNR, Oasis, etc.) and I don't think she did too badly. Except the MP3 circulating of her cursing backstage when something went wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2003 this reminds me last year when Nickelback was playing with a bunch of metal bands. After they kicked off their setlist with "you remind me" the crowd booed them off the stage causing them to stop in the middle of their second song and ask, "you guys wanna hear some rock n roll" and the crowd yelled back "NO" so they left the stage.

Use Your Illusion 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2003 Wow, Metallica & GNR at the same show. If James gets torched by pyro again then I think it's time he took the hint and left Team Axl alone. UYI Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steviekick 0 Report post Posted January 1, 2004 At least they are on seperate days. I'm sure the concert organizers have it so certain bands are grouped together on the same day to attract certain crowds and stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, they suck. However, don't they have legions of their little supporters, or 'maggots' as I beleive they refer to their own fans as, who buy into their crap? Remember, now matter how bad something is, there is always SOMEONE out there that likes it. UYI Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
