Sunday Sept 11th with 3 Doors Down so far. I think I may have to head down this year since I haven't been to a weenie roast in a while...

7/25/2005 4:11:44 PM

someone else listens to the dribble known as The End?

7/25/2005 4:12:57 PM

Sounds like a good reason NOT to go.

7/25/2005 4:18:26 PM

I went in like 7th grade. Sucked iirc.

7/25/2005 4:25:18 PM

buffalo tom fo life

7/25/2005 4:30:10 PM

7/25/2005 4:50:22 PM

haha ya, well the end is WAAAY better than 96 rock. Thank goodness for streaming radio.

7/25/2005 5:08:33 PM

i'd rather go to the Panthers Saints game...or better yet, I'd rather be flying back from New Orleans, recovering from a bachelor party

7/25/2005 5:09:20 PM

I went to 2 of em a looong time ago. Spacehog and Faith No More were the headliners. I had a blast at each of them.

But 3 Doors Down? Sounds like a good reason to not go.

7/25/2005 5:47:35 PM

IN MUNGOOOOO CITAAAAAYYYY

3 doors down played at the last one i went too....they blew..i cant imagine them being any better now....just pray to god they have somebody like crystal method to save their ass again

7/25/2005 6:44:12 PM

aw, the weenie roast was my first concert... the year it was bush and cake.

7/25/2005 10:04:00 PM

^ oh man I was at that one. I went to like four in row during high school.

That was a good one too. I think there were eight or nine bands that I really liked at the time. Good times.

7/25/2005 10:06:40 PM

3 doors down is playing in raleigh like 2 days before this, and im sure the other bands on the bill will also play at the weenie roast........so why bother?

The 9/11 tribute in Charlotte that is Weenie Roast X. I think I'll sit at home and watch football.

I can for a while, but then they play the Linkin Park shit every half hour, which makes me change the station.

^hehe

FREEDOM ISNT FREE

NO THERES A HEAFTY FUCKIN' FEE

7/26/2005 12:39:19 AM

^^^alterbridge just got announced to play there. They're opening up for 3 doors down on the 9th in raleigh.

Tomorrow and the next day will probably be staind and breaking benjamin, who are also playing in raleigh.

They better get some good bands added or it will just be another stop on the 3 doors down tour.

Chris Rozak is my boy

7/27/2005 4:26:08 PM

i remember when 106.5 first came on the air

they had no commercials and no dj's...twas money

7/27/2005 4:42:05 PM

yeah thats pretty shitty, and if thats the case they just as well stop doing the weenie roast.

7/27/2005 4:42:39 PM

Who remembers when tickets to the Weenie Roast were $10.65?

My how things have changed.

7/28/2005 10:01:42 AM

yesterday's announcement was.........

you guessed it Staind, so if you miss the 3 Doors Down/Staind/Alter Bridge show you can see it in Charlotte and pay more money for it.

7/29/2005 9:49:20 AM

you know, this is a fairly common thing these days. It has become so expensive to book acts for a show that the only option becomes tagging an existing tour with your promotion/station name. We did it a few years ago with the shindig being tacked onto the Matchbox 20 tour. Lame. but when these guys want tons of money to do the shows, it becomes cost prohibitive. The only areas getting huge, multi-bib/popular act radio fests are major markets (NY, LA, Miami, Chicago).

7/29/2005 10:51:29 AM

i remember that!
the shindig was also tacked onto the googoodolls tour too!

7/29/2005 4:39:12 PM

i'm glad that there is a thread about this... i am back in charlotte for a couple days to see the family, and almost threw up in my mouth when i heard what the weenie roast was doing this year...

[old guy rant] i remember back in my day when the weenie roast pulled bands from everywhere... blah blah blah [/rant]

8/9/2005 1:56:25 PM

1065 sucks

the weenie roasts were terrible too


I will not be there.

8/9/2005 2:11:02 PM

^^ you can thank Clear Channel for that, they aren't independantly run anymore and don't have the same concert budget they used to. Funny thing is the ad in the paper was the one that the 3 doors down tour has used all summer with 106.5 weenie roast real small.


oh and wait for xplosivo to praise corporate radio and say that I am wrong.

8/9/2005 2:16:05 PM

why the hell would I praise corporate radio!?

dude, do you even read what I post? I do rail on people for being fucking sheep and blaming clear channel for everything, but to say I "think corporate radio is great" is nonsense!

That is stupid. Budgets are down because ad revenue is down. CC is to blame in the sense that they are the ones setting playlists/ads. However, the artists are just as much to blame. They want INSANE amounts of money. We are currently trying to put together the bands for Oysterfest and to get someone shitty (like Howie Day) is running close to $20K. Couple that with the fact that the FCC is cracking down on payola/plugola/etc. and it is damn near impossible for a station in a non-major market to put on a show like that.

For 106.5 to do a Weenie Roast similar to the ones they did a few years ago where they had 10-12 good band (including a couple of big names) would cost a couple of hundred grand or more. So the option becomes one of two things: piggy back on an existing tour (which blows) or do a much smaller show where there are no big name and likely few recognizable names. The object of the concert is to make money for the station, so what do you think they are going to do?

I love Howie Day

you should try and get Who's Band (The Michael Jackson tribute band)

Somebody telling it like it is. Weenie Roast, before all of the greed (from everybody), did a fantasic job. I don't think I would have had the opportunity to see as many bands as I have w/o it. Bush, Moby, Staind, Sevendust, Dokken, etc. were awesome to hear live. Several other bands weren't spectacular, but were entertaining to listen to.

Anyways, $26 for a lawn ticket (w/tickemaster fees) + whatever gas is to get there.

9/6/2005 11:45:55 PM

Since I've bttd this, does any have a listing of the bands that have played at each respective Weenie Roast? Dbocar (however you spell it) was rolling them off a night or two ago as I was making a beer run.

9/6/2005 11:49:27 PM

1. wasn't there
2. spacehog, verve pipe,
3. bloodhound gang, cowboy mouth, gravity kills,
4. bush, cake, sponge, moby ----> just a note ..this is where it peaked
