The Ralph

[The King]

Are there concerts and other events at the Ralph over the summer? Seems like there is always something happening at Gillette , I was wondering if it was the same.

[THATHURMANATOR]

Not really. A few concerts.

[venis2k1]

the greatful dead played there in 89...that kicked ass.

[bills&sabresmvf]

There's never any concerts there. They should, but with the HSBC Arena that's mostly where concerts are held.

[Jeff1220]

In the 90s, it seemed there was usually a big concert or two most summers. I know the Grateful Dead played during some summers. DMB played there as well as GnR and Metallica. Not sure about others.

[G Wolly]

I have to say it, I actually went to an NSync concert there in like 97.

LOL. Admitting there is a problem is the first step.

I think the lamest concert I ever went to was my first one, and that was Our Lady Peace, and I'd consider NSYNC a million times more :limp: than that...

Orchard Park really dislikes events at the Ralph - it costs them money (police, garbage pickup, etc) and they get very little back.

Yea, maybe so, but have you seen Weird Al live?

I love OLP!

I have never been to a concert anywhere near the gayness of NYSNC.

IC you better play metal at leat 4x harder than you do to wash that stink off.

[BlackMetalNinja]

Yes, I actually worked road crew for one of his shows...

I've seen them twice actually, and I like them, but they are by far the most tame concert I think I've been to... Well not includings ones I worked, since I didn't have much choice in being at those.

The first time I saw them it was a small show at the college I ended up going to, Nine Days opened for them... now they were gay! The second time was part of a huge all day concert I went to in Tampa 2 years ago where they played an acoustic set.

I think I've seen better bands to wash off the NSync-ness

Slayer
Megadeth
Trivium
Lamb of God
Every Time I Die
Killswitch Engage
Black Sabbath
System of a Down
Iron Maiden
Cannibal Corpse
Behemoth
As I Lay Dying

While that is a badass list, it takes a lot of scrubbing to get rid of NSYNC...

My list is something like this:

Funeral for a Friend
Our Lady Peace x2
Motion City Soundtrack
Amberlin
Alkaline Trio
30 Seconds to Mars
Rise Against
Story of the Year x2
Trapt
My Chemical Romance
Dope
Sworn Enemy
Thrice
Atreyu
Chimaira
Fear Factory
Kiss
Aerosmith
A Dozen Furies
Trivium
God Forbid
As I Lay Dying x2
In Flames
Shadows Fall
Killswitch Engage
Tool
Deftones x3
Slipknot

Some of those were purely a part of a show where I went to see one or two bands and saw several others in the process. I'll also be adding Everytime I Die, Dillinger Escape Plan, and Killswitch for the 2nd time next month :up:

[The King]

I have seen too many bands to make a list. I tried once but it was too hard.

[G Wolly]

My Chemical Romance


:limp:

[The King]

:limp:

BYE BYE BYE.... nuff said.

[BlackMetalNinja]

:limp:

Far less gay than NSYNC, and as I mentioned, they were in a lineup for an all day show where I went to see other artists. I actually left in the middle of their set.

I'm guessing it was Projekt Revolution then.

I understand that going to an N'Sync concert is really :limp: But if you go with a girlfriend, and it's at your favorite sports stadium, I don't think it's as bad as some people say. Especially if you get some afterwards. :naughty:

[RedEyE]

To get back on track in this thread, if the Bills build a new stadium downtown, does the amount of events increase?

[G Wolly]

It might still be the same rates for security and clean-up and all that it has now, but I'm not positive until it actually happens.

I'd hope so

[The King]

I dont see how financially you could pass.

Only if it is a retractable dome.

[RedEyE]

With that in mind it seems that if a new stadium was built downtown it would either have to be domed or contain a retractable roof. Otherwise it couldn't be used for nothing but football 9 months out of the year.

And does that take away profits from HSBC?

[RedEyE]

Exactly.

For bigger, more charitable events which could hold about 19,000 would be better off in a nearly 80,000 capacity stadium I would think.

I think in that case HSBC would be used for lower scale events like some concerts and still the circus.

Good point.

[G Wolly]

If it's possible, you could build a hotel as an extension to the stadium for out of town visitors during football season and any time it's needed.

This would also be a stretch, but allow it to also house an MLB team.

[Typ0]

they need a walkway from the stadium to the casino lined with slots.

And ATMs and Suicide Hotlines for when people lose all their money on those slots

[Historian]

I think the last concert at the Ralph was Foreigner-Loverboy in 1982...

I saw the Grateful Dead there a couple times in the 90s.

people should be responsible for themselves.

Not true. I heard a rumor that N'Sync played there in 1997 or something like that. :ontome:

[Typ0]

I think the Rolling Stones played there within the last decade.

[G Wolly]

Not true. I heard a rumor that N'Sync played there in 1997 or something like that. :ontome:

Yea...I heard that too....:ontome: I didn't go or anything
