What's a rock concert without a vibing crow responding to guitars, whether hard or soft?

Was wondering if rock artistes coming to naija would be a profitable venture. Which kinda artists d'y'all think would attract that crowd?

U2

U2 all the wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

@ TOPIC,

it is "do-able" . . but you know how naija is, b'4 you can pull this off; you've g'otta to feel the pulse of the majority of the target audience . . . the kin'na songs they adore most, the artistes they're most familiar with and stuffs like that and give 'em that exacto.

But do you all think a concert of U2, coldplay, linkin park in a place like lagos for instance can attract up to 10000?

Yes oh because all this groups you mentioned has a lot of audiences.

And most youth likes linkin park

where did you guys put staind and evanescence?

successful rock concert i naija

linkin park
evanescence
coldplay
staind
red hot chilli pepers
three doors down
cranberries (if it can be arranged)
maroon five


funny enough i dont like U2 and i know they dont have the universal appeal that true rockers love. i think they lost it a while back.

limp bizkit would be good
marilyn manson for shock value

I think a rock concert will rock!!! But err, people, people!!!! Where does Nickelback fit into this rock concert? Next to Linkin Park eveanescence and maroon 5, u gotta have them in Naija. And Marylin Manson, You want to start that whole satanic thread going again?

hey cool topic i think about this all the time, i think i ll be the first person to bring the first naija rock concert to reality, i sleep drink and think rock,

Rock sucks!!!!

Asians love rocks.

But Rock is not meant for we Africans

yeah, it sucks, i feel like its noise making, later they will say hip-hop preaches violence (na jealousy) , rocks definitely sucks

Nigeria isn't quite a good market for rock, Nigeria is still relatively isolated music wise.

Ken - what do you mean rock isn't meant for Africans? AFRICANS created rock and roll baby!!!

yes we did but not the type of rock they play today, i cannot afford to listen to ramstein or whats it called? anyway, i hope y'all know that most elvis's song were written and composed by black ppl, thats rock n roll

@ funshiba, i also think about that too! If u think its doable in the near future, pm me lets just talk more.

I think there's a growing awareness of rock music and its nearing commercial level. Was browsing a local tv station the other day & saw an ad about a rock tv show with a wannabe gothic chic as host. On radio too a pal referd me 2 a rock show - the consciousness is swelling.

But what of a good venue? Acoustics rock best in open spaces.

Then i heard this naija rock band. They sang 'nepa bring the light'.

Smile4kenn d'u remember chidi_festac?

Doubt it would pull a crowd


Maybe a thousand people

would not be profitable

even the concerts that are held in Nigeria are not exactly running over with people

It'd be profitble. . . Loads of publicity, keep d price a4dable, get d very familiar bands 2 do all 'em familiar hits & u got 1 helluva party!

if Marilyn Mansion and Slipknot will be present, i'll definitely show up and i know enough people will.

Rock? Nigerians? There is a difference btw appreciating it because MTv shows it and actually liking it.I think if you can put guns to the majority of people's head, they will fill the hall.

I think the 1st of such concerts would have to experimental-promotional. Sure the rock dudes would be ready to rock @ a promotional fee.

At those who think rock music isnt liked in naija, well dunno how much you expect peeps to like a genre than going out to actually BUY rock CDs.

Lil wonder most cd pirates are selling lots of rock cds ON THE STREETS, not in fancy stores.

Guess the best way 2 know rock's acceptance should sample the views of cd retailers.

yeye

e be like say when una reach abroad, una dey forget the kind people wey we be for naija. How many people tell you say dem sabi who be linkin park? Linkin park ko, leaking garage ni. Who be cold player?

VERY FUNNY!!! I agree with you though. Nigeria is a national anthem kind of country when it comes to music. Majority of the people here just want music that is mainstream aka R n B and hip hop. You cannot expect to pull the kind of crowd that an Usher concert will pull with U2.

If you are serious about the concert though, i looooooooooooooooooove rock music! Think you can find a place for Nine Inch Nails somewhere there?

No chance in HELL!!

im a rock fan, but duuudes. its not goin 2 work. in nig?? agbero go come listen 2 u2?

@ TOPIC

Where do you hope to hold this Rock concert. Ajegunle or Moroko?
I've been to one of those Rock Concerts and everybody danced like as if they're possessed by a demon
even some White people hate that Devil's music. yuk!!!!

since when did rock becom the devils music?? or did u make it the devils music??

Abeg help me ask her oh! Una don start with this fanatism

sure it is the devil music abi una no get idea? It will never work in 9ja i know.So dont waste ur resources trying to promote it.Alot of Africans are not into rock n roll it is not our thing so abeg make u leave am for them to continue with thier demonic music

they cant

It'll be successfl in d long run!

The fan base is rapidly growing this side of d globe.

Word!!! That'll be the way forward. Test the waters and if it rocks cool, if not, drat!

@ all rock haters and preachers of the demonic gospel. Please, there is only as much satan in rock as there is in hip hop. It's a bloody genre. Are you aware that HYMNS are also sung to the devil? Spiritual essence is not generic. I listen to rock (not all rockers of course) and all the satan i see in it is probably in your fervid imagination. And let's not go into the extreme negativism of hip hop and where it has led the black community in America today. WORD!!!

A rock concert in Nigeria: lots of faith and guts man. This anti-satan people might just come to beat up all the attendees to the concert.
