That $25 Mudhoney price tag is too rich for my blood.

I didnt even realize it was that expensive.  I dont think I will be there either. 

Wednesday - Hollywood Necronomicon Screening (art film by member of Mater Suspiria Vision) at Metro Gallery
Sunday - Wing Dam, Laser Background, Goblin Mold, Vayda at the Crown

yeah.. wow $25.. geez.. they've only been grinding away for 25 years and are from nearby Seattle…

what the fuck are they thinking? they should play for tips! i know that's how i pay the bills…

1.  I know how long the band has been around.
2.  I know where the band is from.

I have NEVER done anything or said anything bad to you.  I dont know why you feel the need to attack me.

probably because anybody who does not go to a concert because it is twenty five whole dollars, is either very poor, and how do you have enough money to be on the fucking internet thing . . . or doesnt think musicians should make any money off of anything and everything should be free or pay what you fucking want. 

or even worse . . . they think they know everything about music, and it is them who gets to judge, what the artist should be charging based on their lone and only opinion about the matter.

just go or dont go.  stop thinking about it.

all I'm saying is the show is obviously not "expensive"; more like you are "cheap"

don't take it as an insult just think about it…

there's what? 4 or 5 guys in the band? they tour every few years? they certainly don't make much money selling records given how everyone is into streaming, right? they're coming from clear across the country.. how much do you expect grown men to tour for? $25 is really reasonable… now if you can't swing it or don't want to that is your prerogative of course…. but "expensive"??? come on now!

25 for Mudhoney is not expensive.  How many shows are even 25 bucks these days?  Most are 40.

And I mean for bands of this nature.  I realize there are still free, 5 dollar, and 10 dollar shows out there in musicland, but not for bands like that.

Heck I think I paid around 20 the last time I saw Shellac.

I didnt say they shouldnt charge it. I said:

That isnt the ONLY reason i am not going.  I have other plans.

I was simply making a statement that i thought it would be less.  I am NOT skipping them because of the price.

I thought it would be $20 or less. 

The price is NOT the reason i am not going.  I am not cheap and i would wager i probably spend more money on music than most of the people on here. 

So why call me stupid?  Or cheap? 

OK maybe the music you like averages $40 a ticket.  I usually pay around $15.

come on man…there were " 's around the word cheap.  totally different meaning.  not sure how,  but I know it would make all the difference

Why argue about what you think is a fair price?  Killsally goes to a lot more shows than you.  He might go to 4 shows in one week you go to 1 show a month.  Everyone's expenses are different and price that they think is fair to pay for any item.  I like U2 but I would never pay the prices they want for me to see them.  Others do.

james ford hasn't paid more than $10 for a ticket in his concert going career.

"Seeing Mudhoney frontman Mark Arm pulling records from shelves in Sub Pop's warehouse is akin to finding Iggy Pop at the Jiffy Lube. Really? Arm?one of the catalysts of gr*ng*?has to work a day job? He can't live off the royalties from "Touch Me I'm Sick"? What kind of world is this?"

…

This job consumes a lot of time, and it's been four years since the last Mudhoney album (The Lucky Ones). It takes longer now to create albums because everybody has other responsibilities. Bassist Guy Maddison, for example, is a stat nurse at Harborview, and guitarist Steve Turner lives in Portland, where he deals records, so Mudhoney don't practice much.
