Ok, supposing Aerosmith's contract ran out w/ R&RC..what band to replace them?
I've seen a lot of problems with a lot of bands listed (granted everyone's listing off their fave bands which is cool. if that were basis alone
for me, rework it to be Black Label Society, ZZ Top, Pantera or Black Sabbath :lol: )..but my observations are:
U2 is too... you don't get that exhiliterated feeling from their music as you do w/ Aerosmith. U2 is kind of touchy feely (with the exception of a few songs) and not in that rocker kind of way
Skynyrd would be awesome (oh man... rollercoaster set to freebird or simple man.. wow), but like someone said about Queen, RVZ is dead...
DMB.. what's exhilerating about them? How could they translate into a R&RC type of ride? Personally, I'm not seeing it because there's no edge there.
Sticking with the rock theme (which is good since that's what I know) and thinking of bands that
could be "Disney friendly" and have enough songs to choose from...
I'd say Black Sabbath because there's a ton of songs to choose from (and ya, you could even dig into Ozzy's career after BS), they've been around
forever, and it'd be kind of cool to "creep it out" since TOT is right next door.. Creepy Tower..Creepy Rollercoaster...it works together. You CAN find some Disney friendly (enough) songs if you dug deep enough. I mean if you think about it.. how Disney is
"Love in an Elevator"? "oooh.. hello Mr Tyler... going... dowwwwwwn" :hammer:
KISS would be another good option. Love em or hate em, they do fall into that category (the things I listed above). Lots of great music to pick from... still making their presence known... they've been around forever...tons of songs to pick from.
Van Halen
could be cool, but you've got that Van HALEN or Van HAGAR discrepency (I probably butchered that spelling)
Motley Crue could be cool.. especially since they're out again with the Carnival of Sins Tour. Lots of songs to choose from...nobody's dead... the band is cooperating and still together (unlike GNR which would ROCK.. but you've got the battle of Axl's ego with the rest of the band's.. hence Velvet Revolver and Axl doing his own GNR thing with a bunch of other dudes).
My .02 on the matter =o)
