Eagles Hit “Lying Eyes” Featured in The New Season of “Billions”

Posted on by

The Showtime hit television series Billions has returned for season six and as usual, it weaves a ton of musical and pop cultural references in the show! In the past they have highlighted episodes with Metallica, Rush, Megadeth, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and more. In the second episode of season six, not only was the song “Lyin Eyes” by The Eagles the title of episode, the song was also prominently featured in it too! “Lyin Eyes” was both a hit for the band on both the Rock and Country charts from their 1975 big commercial breakthrough One of These Nights (Asylum), and again the next year on Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975) (Asylum). That album is the third best selling album of all time, and the number one selling Greatest Hits compilation ever. Billions stars Paul Giamatti, Corey Stoll, Maggie Siff, Asia Kate Dillon, David Costabile, Condola Rashad, and Daniel Breake.

Ticketmaster and Live Nation Feel That Concert Tickets Are Too Cheap!

Posted on by

If you are like us at Ghost Cult, you go to a lot of concerts every year. We actually pay for many shows we cover, and the fees on top of the tickets, especially for major festivals, event-type shows and tours are astronomically over-priced. And the company that owns the most venues and puts on the most tours in the entire world thinks we are getting away cheap! According to a new report by Marketwatch, Ticketmaster and their parent Live Nation feel they have been charging fans too little and there is a “great opportunity” to earn more money by charging more for tickets in 2020 and beyond. According to the report, the average ticket price for the largest worldwide tours has increased by more than 20% in the past five years and is approaching $100 per ticket. This timeline coincides with the biggest bands and tours in the world, including major tours the last few years Guns N Roses’ “Not In This Lifetime Tour”, Metallica’s “Worldwired World Tour”, Slipknot’s “Slipknot Roadshow”, The Eagles, The Who, Elton John’s farewell tour, KISS’ “End of the Road” tour, Slayer’s “The Final Campaign Tour” on their way to retirement, Tool’s new tour, and next year’s big-ticket tours from My Chemical Romance, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Poison and Joan Jett and The Blackhearts. This is not counting the secondary and resale market, which includes Ticket master’s murky relationship with resellers and bots (see Metallica’s S&M2 ticket debacle last summer), StubHub and other companies that gouge fans for profits.

Stone Sour – Hydrograd

Posted on by

It’s not often that a side project from an acclaimed band can stand on par with said original group. After all, a lot of sidebands become the vacation parent to fans; as a stop-gap measure for artists to toss eager followers a bone in between releases. However, that is not true of Stone Sour, launched in the shadows of Slipknot, and for over fifteen years has slowly ascended to the hard rock pantheon on their own merits. In fact, on their new album Hydrograd (Roadrunner), the band has put out an album that actually surpasses a few Slipknot releases outright. Continue reading →
