Title: Chris Isaak
Post by: SmoothOprtr on Jul 18, 2005, 02:41 PM
I'm going to be out in Vegas this week and Chris Isaak is playing at the MGM Grand.  I like his music a lot but I'm not sure I want to pay 68 bucks to see him (and I probably have to buy a 9 dollar drink or something)... has anyone seen him live and shed some light on how worth (or not worth) this opportunity is...

seems a touch pricey. Hell, that's 3 different shows anywhere else. Maybe if it was a class act, say Tommy Dorsett, Tom Jones, etc, but this is young Chris. Not trying to be a hater or anything, but geez, he's still gotten Johnson Baby Oil behind the ears.

Hell, use the money on the rollercoasters. But that's just me.

I like him but not as much as 68 bucks.

Then may I suggest Ripley's Museum, Theatre Of the Stars, The Car Museum at Imperial Palace, the disco at Caesar's, and any buffet where the meat doesn't look horselike. Oh yeah, the tigers at MGM. All less than 68 smackers.

Great music but shitty guy, as I read somewhere.  68 bucks is a lot of money.  

Better spent it on the new jacket cd  :D

Ahhhhhh.  Thanks for the pop culture clarification.  :)

(Bo Brice - was that the guy that everybody was all weirded out by because he was at the MMJ show, and he made an announcement or something?)

You are waaaayyyy to generous by making him pop culture. Justin is, well, hmmmm, let's just say I'd love to see the expression on his face as he's walking the plank with the tip of a sword poking into his ass.
