Reply to comment by icecreamterror in Rage against the machine are sell outs. You're literally paying multi millionaires hundreds of dollars an hour to sing songs about how capitalism is bad by [deleted]

Black Eyes are on Dischord, they have a show in DC in April, tickets are $20.

Also I know the disparity in record sales, obviously. But OP is saying Want to see thier show? Better not be poor. RATM aren't exactly touring in vans and loading their own gear. They also can't play tiny venues.

Fugazi have not played a gig in 20 years (saw them on the last UK tour) and tickets were far from $5.

Regards Dischord:

They are not touring at all, so confused as to what the OP's issue is.

FWIW I think I'm missing the OP's point entirely.

But an excuse to talk about Fugazi was nice :) Glad you got to see them over there!
