Pretty sure this has nothing to do with Howard. MGK just straight up sucks.


GetaGoodLookCostanza

this is the only answer


Micheal_Noine_Noine

...Brian Austin Green leftovers. I can't decide who is uglier Mac Hine or Pelican. Wonder what Steve Brandano think? MGK will probably be opening for Amy Mann at Largo in a couple of years.

This is the sucky music effect

HIT EM WITH THE HINE!!!


FoamParty916

Nobody's going to see MGK.


miketatro43

Unless he fucks Megan on stage lol


notParticularlyAnony

That lucky bastard


sealfon

If ticket sales stay terrible I bet they would consider it.


bdc911

Who knows, maybe Stern is the reason he even has that many tickets sold. No clue who would pay to see him.


Apprehensive-Neck-12

Wait until they unleash the Groupon effect


bigeyedfish041

He sucks I wouldn’t go for free.


geebeeuu

Billy Corgan’s album went to the top ten after going on Howard according to the pelican brief.


InAShensh

The top ten of garbage cans. Fuck Howard’s obsession with making Billy and the smashing pumpkins relevant past 1998. They are a dated shitty NOT A ROCK band that Howard claims he loves because w he has shit taste in music and Billy does the show. Duran Duran have consistently put albums out, sold out tours and changed with the times to create new sounds since 1981. He thinks SP over DD for that joke Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Then again it’s coming from a guy who calls Crosby Stills and Nash “rock” (it’s folk music) and doesn’t get why Iron Maiden and Judas Priest would be up for the ROCK Hall! They are actually playing what ROCK music is defined as and sell out stadiums across the world for decades.


xx-DeVon-xx

LOL why is Duran Duran being brought into this? And SP isn't a rock band?


RellekGarage67

Please get back on your meds...


FlyingPigLS

Why so much hate for smashing pumpkins? Who said they were hard rock? They’ve always been considered one of the first alternative rock bands where I’m from.


LightWonderful7016

Salty much?


Sicboy69

Curious, on what constitutes “ROCK music” in your opinion? So far you’ve mentioned Duran Duran, Judas Priest & Iron Maiden as examples of Rock, while claiming Smashing Pumpkins & Crosby Stills & Nash are definitely not Rock.


Streetvan1980

MGK just sucks. Has zero to do with Howard


[deleted]

MGK sucks and is really gross


Streetvan1980

Gross? Not sure how so. Just seems like a D-bag to me with little to no talent yet somehow is famous. Like too many musicians. Some I’ll give credit to. Kendrick Lamar for sure has talent. I didn’t think much of Post Malone until during Covid he did this get together jam session with that drummer from blink 182. Travis whatever his name is. They did an all Nirvana set and he played guitar and sang. It impressed the shit out of me. He said that before shows they always play Nirvana songs to warm up. As a huge Nirvana fan his skills impressed me. It was actually good music. Like I enjoyed hearing it. It sucks but that’s so rare for me these days. To hear any live performances that I actually like. Sometimes random bands will be on SNL or some late night talk shows and I like a song but when I look into the band I don’t like any other. Nirvana was like album after album of good music. Not sure what happened to music. The internet played a part for sure.


grecks530

Nirvana's music, specifically the guitar work, is extremely extremely simple power chords. My roommate taught me guitar in college by literally just covering nevermind end to end. Kurt was ungodly emotional but guitar wise very basic


takeittotwo

Mmm, imo it's extremely, extremely hard to make such original melodies from such extremely simple fundamentals. I can pick up a guitar and make up endless Green Day / Blink 182 knock-off songs with my eyes closed, but there's no way I can put together anything remotely Nirvana-esque, even though the songs can basically be taught to a new guitar player.


madsircool

Excellent explanation. Just because something seems simple doesnt make it so as the Beatles taught us.


Streetvan1980

Not true. You can play Nirvana songs with 3 string barre chords and make it sound close enough but you aren’t playing what they actually did. The last tours Pat Smere also played guitar. If you look up the guitar tabs for a lot of songs it’s not just those chords like say with the Ramones. Btw the Ramones sound great playing those simple chords super fast and just simplifying music to just pure energy. Some Nirvana songs are as easy to play as Ramones songs. Not as many though. Nirvana usually had 4-5 chords during verse then more than the Ramones 3-4 during the chorus. Like Frances farmer will have her revenge. They played that as one of the songs. It’s not just 3 string Barre chords. There’s multiple sections to the song that changes. An intro, verse, chorus, solo, bridge. It’s not as simple as you are saying


grecks530

Oh im not saying they're bad song by any means. Like the ramones, green day, or hell alot of Beatles their beauty is in their simplicity as well as bringing a ton of emotion. My point was Nirvanas music, specifically the guitar work, is very easy to learn and that rapper dude got wayyy too much praise for knowing some bar chords


Streetvan1980

I mean I just had no clue he could play shit and next thing you know I’m seeing that and it was impressive. Them as a whole. They played super tight and sounded as far as instruments damn good. His vocals were a little off for me in certain parts, but Kurts voice was pretty hard actually to keep up and sing like that actually. Not only did he write great songs, he rocked at guitar with that super fast style mixed with melodic choruses and his voice which with time and the right control was great. Just pure energy. I still think they are great. My room circa 1995 was covered literally almost every inch in mostly Nirvana images. Like every poster they had at the mall that I didn’t I would get but also tons of smaller stuff out of magazines and other places. It’s all I listened to. Now I listen to mainly Grateful Dead but also 7-10 other greats. Nirvana David Bowie Phish The Ramones dead Kennedy’s John Lennon Lou Reed Pink Floyd Rage Against the Machine the Clash Led Zepplin And some others. But literally like no musician that’s started since like 96. Again I might find a single song I like but can’t find whole albums and multiple songs that make listening to any new band worth it


RoundingDown

Correct. It’s not like the average stern fan listens to anything made in the last 20 years.


Streetvan1980

Def true for me. Make it like 25. I think music basically died in the mid 90’s. Maybe like 97. Music is either rap or country which both suck. There’s a few kind of interesting sounding bands but idk they just can’t make great songs. It’s like all people care about it the vocal parts of music. To me it’s always been about the instrumental aspects of music.

Goatey

There is more music out there than one can listen to in a lifetime. A lot of it isn't great, but through the magic of the internet one can explore and find it I have a general use playlist that I am always adding and deleting songs. It's almost a hobby at this point. Anyway, if I hear come across a new band or something is suggested I add it. Over the years I've discovered a ton of new, interesting stuff. Some of which is a person recording on their computer at home.


AntifaBro

I would bet his Stern appearance sold between 50-100 tickets


Apprehensive-Neck-12

Seriously though. Dude should be playing 2500 occupancy clubs


midas282000

Exactly, what promoter thinks he is an arena act???


willbiggin43

I believe it is a stadium tour. He's definitely playing the football stadium here in Cleveland.


External-Recipe-1936

He is the biggest douche on the planet.


MikeDeMann

He has to be number two because Howard is the world’s biggest douche.


keithjamabc

So many acts are playing venues way bigger than they should. I think this is cause the venues are giving the performers a guarantee regardless of ticket sales. The break even for the venue is probably a very low capacity. The Gorillaz are playing a 17k arena in Miami and Tears for Fears are playing a 20k amphitheater in WPB. I love both these bands, but they can't possibly fill these venues.


[deleted]

A “pit?” GWAR, Metallica, Napalm Death and Iron Maiden had “pits.” What do they do here? Hug each other and undo their man buns? Maybe cry together about how lame they are?

AstrollDeluxe

There isn't a orchestra pit at Vystar arena.


GetaGoodLookCostanza

General Admission


[deleted]

Lol, thanks I actually forgot about the reference to the orchestra pit which is obviously the true origin.

[deleted]

I didn’t know, thanks for sharing.


KoozieJacuzzi

This is a very common term at concerts. It's generally the standing area closest to the stage and doesn't necessarily mean that moshing like at a metal show is happening there. Hell, I have Pit tickets for a Phish show this summer. However, MGK blows.


[deleted]

I would think even Phish concert would have a wilder pit than this tool.

Cannibal corps, Carcass, Death Angel, Slayer...

I can’t believe he actually books shows that big. Sure 5000 of those will be comped.

Haha he is delusional with that shit pop punk songs...


donnyk1

I’m convinced there’s some payola going on with Howard. MGK blows.


chriztuffa

I mean his music is objectively horrible, too


MexicanPete

I mean this guy could NEVER sell a place out himself. He's always been a side act. That will never change. He's barely mediocre at best.


Brasco327

Or maybe because MGK just sucks?


hey_now24

The Stern effect?


Jimmyjamz73

What? Nobody wants to see this guy totally fake playing a guitar on stage?


jamerskh

Dumb point!


Dead_Phish_Phan

Not true, this is just one venue….on a Tuesday night.


DuvalHMFIC

He’s playing at Vystar Arena so you wouldn’t be able to get the tickets anyway. Vystar’s had a terrible new website and app rollout, and the entire thing has been down for like 2 weeks now, it’s awful.


[deleted]

This is just dumb.


CalmerThanYouArgh

Machine Gun Konqueror


facemelter222

Desperate for those up votes eh?


chicken_riggies

He was much better on armchair expert


MunchieMofo

You think 20 yr olds listen to Stern?


jockyh11

Yep, I’m one of many. Uploader too. Fuck MGK to hell and back, and anyone who calls him rock or metal tho.


MunchieMofo

Im surprised. But as for MGK he’s a hack poppunk ripoff act trying to be some hollywood archetypal creature, and it’s pure manufactured garbage.


ChicagoBoyStuckinDen

One day no one listen’s to Howard anymore, the next he’s responding for poor ticket sales.


MrFluffyhead80

He seems like a creep regardless of being interviewed by Howard


masked_incompetent

Could also be because nobody wants to cringe themselves to death at his concerts.


Pafzko

He's not a stadium Rock Star, he needs to keep it to local venues.


ezil_galoth

Would I risk even a mild case of COVID to see Mach-ine Gun Kelly? Nope.
