Everyone hating on Linkin park for the end of BlizzCon Show. Who would you of preferd

[Sk3tz0]

While I've been trying to avoid as much work as possible today by browsing and reading MMO-C threads, i've noticed when ever BlizzCon gets mentioned someone posts how much they dislike Linkin Park, So my question is..

Who would you have preferred playing the closing Blizzcon?

I'd of said Iron Maiden but they coming to my country in March 2016 (yay!)

or maybe Nickleback :P (lol that would be funny to see ppl rage about nickleback at Blizzcon)

[Bosen]

Red Hot Chilli Peppers or Mastodon.

[Schmeebs]

Red Hot Chilli Peppers or Mastodon.

Both of those are extremely unlikely..


I would have loved to see Obscure Metal band X but yeah..

[Accendor]

I would have preferred Linkin Park and in fact was very sad to hear that they were going to be there because I was not able to be there.

If Blizzard didn't waste money on bands that was outdated in the last millenium (Linkin Park, Metallica, Blink 182, need I continue) then maybe, just maybe, the tickets would be a tad cheaper..

I would prefer no music..

The bands have nothing to do with the ticket prices. They are priced high due to supply and demand. The cost to book a B list band is pretty damn low.

I'd prefer you stop using the word 'everyone' where it isn't suitable.

As for the band, I wouldn't prefer anyone. It has to suck, as a band, to have to perform when you know you're a side-show, no matter how much it pays out. Events like this are for DJ's.

Who is hating on Linkin Park? I'm exhilarated about them playing

Worst case scenario would be something like Red Hot Chilipeppers or some other band that is equally bad at live performance.

I'm gonna state the idea, that some musicians will play, simply because people like their music.

Good Point.. it's not like people are coming for the music.. but for the games. but then What type of DJ.. Blizzard doesn't seem to me to be the EDM favouring kind of people.

My guess is because they're an older generation band. I mean, they were popular when I was a teen and I'm 30. Maybe the better idea is to get a band that's closer to the age of the ticket buyers - people that are actually there.

What is the general census on the current Age group of the average WOW player. when i look at vids of gaming conventions and comic cons i see alot of people between mid 20s early 30s

Eventho i havent listened to the last 2 albums of LP (with the exception of maybe 2-3 songs) and yes they are a 00's band they are still popular AF so people saying blizzard wasted their money is complete bullshit they are getting exactly what they paid for and people at blizzcon wont give a damn because most of the people that are going to blizzcon most likely grew up with LP, I rather see a band with a name then a band like 5 Seconds of Summer or something.

It's possible, but generally unlikely to get huge A list bands to play a conference. About the only way is if it just happens to line up with their schedule where they can stop in, do a quick show, and mosey along. Even then they'd want probably 100k. And I doubt Blizz is going to get a smaller band that appeals to a smaller number of people, but that lots of other people might not like such as Mastodon. So it's always going to be a fairly mainstream band. More people will like it than not, and just be glad there is a band at all. If anything it's as much a perk for Morheim it seems for bands he personally likes (he and the top Blizz people likely get to meet whoever plays off-stage), so I doubt they drop the band and reduce ticket prices. I think he even mentioned that when Ozzy played that it was his choice.

[Vestig3]

The only thing i would like to see is something other then a Metal/rock/whatever band and go for something new, the EDM scene is becoming very big in America now and a lot of the younger fans of blizzard games prob like that kind of music.

[wowaccounttom]

tbh.. no one...


instead of wasting that time and money in something that i can just google or listen to in the radio, i would much rather have more content.. especially for diablo ..

[procne]

They should have moved the international Chopin competition finals to the blizzcon

[Orby]

Rod Stewart.... what:? lol

[Sencha]

I don't see the need to include a band into a video game convention.

[Hey There Guys its Metro]

Do they have big bands at other conventions?
I personally don't care one way or another who is there, I only watch the actual convention.

Metallica and Foo Fighters were amazing though, so I wouldn't be surprised if I end up watching Linkin Park and enjoying it.
As long as they don't act like they are interested like Green Day. That was just embarrassing.

[Sk3tz0]

Another Band i'd like to see live.. Five Finger Death Punch. not sure what their popularity is among the masses of the US and EU.. but i like em.

[Tezha]

Fatboy Slim
Aesop Rock
Dance with the dead
Dorothy
Philter
Jesse Rose

Or any orchestral band that would play chillingly epic score music from the upcoming expansion that was specially composed for WoW, D3, Overwatch, SC2 and HOTS
