lol "artists" lol
The reason they call it the American Dream is because you have to be asleep to believe it.- George Carlin
Not going to happen they would need a new fan base lol.
They should pay Apocalyptica to make covers of their themes/songs and play it at blizzcon.
And I saw, and behold, a pale horse: and he that sat upon him, his name was Death; and Hades followed with him. And there was given unto them authority over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with famine, and with death, and by the wild beasts of the earth.
Lucky?
Weird Al is fucking amazing.
Shit, I'd be getting a loan just to fly to Blizzcon! (not even kidding) He's amazing and a brilliant entertainer.
I had the pleasure/honour of seeing him perform here in The Netherlands, the only non-English country he performed and it was fucking amazing!
Anyway, not a fan of Blink, but considering the crowd and their previous bands, it's pretty much a decent fit. Rap however has no place in the 'con.
Personally I would've liked RATM or Linkin Park (not a fan either) more but also feels more unrealistic.
I don't think Blizzard would hire one of those "artists" since they can't even figure out how a fucking belt works.
Are you frickin serious? You call untalented dicks rappong about hoes and bitches A-Artists? Guess you don't know what real music is brah.
That, and Rap is the absolute opposite of all Blizzard games stand for.
Nah.. it's not a coincidence most people who play wow likes depressing metal or whatever, and most of these are virgins and losers too
tell me im wrong stupid white trash
Real ni***s listen to lil wayne and chief kieef

Nailed it buddy :P
The reason why those (in my opinion terrible) artists isn't gonna be at blizzcon for a very long time to forever, is that out of the seven million odd people who play WoW and other Blizzard games, OP and people who also like Lil' Wayne (outside of people like me who love how much drugs he does and how incomprehensible he is while talking, that is I love how stupid I think he is) are the minority, sure in the mainstream world rap and all it's deformed offspring are popular. However in our secluded international culture of Blizzard fans it isn't as popular.
Also I can't say for sure, but since Blizzard loses money on Blizzcon (that being why it's once every two years now) would also be a factor in Blizzard getting as OP calls them "washed up has beens" over some guy who charges money to swear for thirty minutes... Also want to say that Blizzcon is about the convention not the half hour performance or whatever it is.

I think it's funny that all these crackers/wannabe blacks listen to this stupidity.
Rap used to be about real shit. It was heavily influenced by politics and the lying and deceit of our government and the rich fucks that control it. All these people you hear today are sellouts. They're getting paid by the same people who lie to you, distracting you from seeing what's really going on.
This doesn't surprise or impress anyone. Their music is equally terrible. I would be embarrassed to be caught listening to any of that garbage.Wayne crushes Gaga in record sales almost 3:1
Have you seen the audience at Blizzcon? You want to see a bunch of nerds attempting to bounce to some poor excuse for a hip-hop track?If they got Keef to perform, the place would go INSANE.
I'm from the Bay Area born and raised, none of that shit is going to pass for quality.
Too bad they couldn't get Gorillaz:

I actually love the concept behind this band. Just seems appropriate for a video game convention also (computer animated band for a computer game). I could imagine what they could do for a WoW animated background for a computer animated band (plus the "lead singer" almost looks Forsaken to a point).

Everyone's taste in music differs and while you can use that as an argument against the bands they have had, the bands/singers/whatever the OP suggested, their lyrics are way more over the top than the artists that have performed. In this day and age, if you have some like lil wayne perform at your "business event" (that's what blizzcon is) then people will say you are promoting sex, drugs, and hoodlums.
So you get a band that's slightly or very much past their prime that is not going to peg you with bad media coverage. That is just smart business.
If they had Gorillaz. I would actually go to blizzcon lol
A complete absence of musical taste on the part of the organizers. *rimshot* Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all week.What would it take to get Eminem or Lil Wayne to perform at Blizzcon?
Now THIS is my idea of good rap. Who knew 50 Cent was so classy?
And just in case you couldn't tell, this is 50 mixed with the Jungle Book
Armin Van Buuren or Tiesto would be more relevant. But Eminem would also be awesome. I'd buy the ticket just for that alone.
They pick the type of bands the majority of players/devs enjoy.
How do acts like Lil Wayne and Drake fit with WoW's fanbase? Riff Raff would be sweet, though.
