Rolling Stones: Biggest Live Band Of The Decade
The Rolling Stones are the biggest touring act of the decade.According to figures just released by Billboard, the ‘greatest rock and roll band in the world’ played 264 shows over the past 10 years, raking in an astonishing $869.5 million – that’ll keep Keith Richards in Rizla papers for a while!
Other big draws include Bruce Springsteen (403 shows, $688 million), Bon Jovi (249 shows, $419.5 million), The Eagles (240 shows, $347.5 million), Aerosmith (320 shows, $292 million), Metallica (187 shows, $227.5 million) and the Trans-Siberian Orchestra (728 shows, $203.5 million).
If AC/DC wanted, they would have been no1, ok maybe no2. Lazy farts, AC fucking DC……..
So the billboard magazine have named The rollingstones as the biggest live act of the decade have they? absolute bollocks The rolling stones relay on zimmer frames to get them on stage and off it too!!!
Iron maiden have played 23 gigs traveled 50. 000 miles to five continents in just 46 days on thier own plane called ed force one HA HA HA!!! BEAT THAT!! up the irons number 1!
the stones were playin gigs when maiden were still in there diapers, how can knock a band who has been playin for the best of part of nearly 50 years and they still can cut in now?
I love the Stones, they are the ultimate rock n roll band, because they mean it. Nobody can match Mick and Keith.
