Also about going back to shows being cheaper unless you are going to a fest or a arena show most shows are reasonably priced. The most I've ever played for a club show was like $40 and that's in venues that hold around 5,000 people. Only arena tours, amphitheaters, and some fests are expensive. Hell even cheap seats at Mayhem Fest or a general admission ticket to Warped Tour isn't that expensive. Widen what you listen to and you will find a shit ton of shows you can go to for under $20.

Plus rock and metal that sounds like the 70's and 80's will never come back enough to be on the radio, ever.

I know the club venues and even ampitheaters are reasonably priced,but it's the arena shows that I'm talking about.And I will always have hope that it will come back to the radio,don't stop believin' man.

I don't see why it matters what gets played on the radio anymore. I only really hear the radio when i'm at a restaurant or a store. Even if the stuff on the radio was all good I would still prefer to use my ipod in the car.

I feel like you do,but I was saying it would be cool if it was on the radio again so my friends that only listen to radio could be familiar with the bands I like

I mean technically the music you want on the radio is on the radio, it's just satilette radio. They have a channel made just for it.

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it more inflation/the economy that dictates the ticket prices, not the current state of the music industry?

This. Seriously on trips I've drove through desert and mountains where even a gas station was 50 miles away and still had satellite radio.
