I would love to go see Aerosmith and/or fleetwood because I have always loved both groups and would really like to meet Steven or Stevie. When I saw their shows I was on the lawn and just got to more or less listen to them, but I was there, right.

Marti June 18, 2009 at 11:41 pm

I would love to go see Steven or Stevie. I have loved both of the bands for many years. I have never had the money to get close lead alone meet them back stage. That would be the coolest thing ever in my life. I always got lawn seats just to be able to say I got to see them in concert. But I love Steven and I really like Stevie. So either one would be a dream come true.

Libby Presley June 19, 2009 at 12:30 pm

I would have liked to gotten a chance to see Aerosmith. I was at their concert in Detroit when they were so F ed up and got booed off the stage. I was a paperboy, saved my money and purchased a $25.00 seat. I was p offed and never seen them again because of that. I feel that Tyler and the boys owe me. (Read the book)

james young June 24, 2009 at 1:08 am

John Daviduke June 24, 2009 at 7:23 pm

this is a great contest

Laura-anne Kettell June 24, 2009 at 9:31 pm

The first time I saw Skynyrd was back in 1977 at JFK Stadium in Philadelphia, PA. It was my first concert ever. It was an all day event with 4 or 5 other bands. It was the best. Our seats were on the field. I always said I wanted to be a back-up singer as long as they didn’t turn on the mic. Man, time sure does fly. My lighter is ready!

julie June 24, 2009 at 10:37 pm

Michele Simon June 25, 2009 at 10:41 pm

Two great acts in one place doesn’t happen very often. I think both are summertime staples, at least in my world. Nothing gets me in a good time party mood like a Kid Rock or Lynyrd Skynyrd tune. I live in a state that is usually far off the trail of concert tours so it would wonderful to be able to see one.

Lola Fuller June 26, 2009 at 7:25 pm

cowboy and freebird are two of the greatest songs of all time

Jessica Battle June 27, 2009 at 2:17 pm

philip halter June 30, 2009 at 5:41 pm

a great prize

Rosie Combs June 30, 2009 at 7:48 pm

Kid Rock is by far my FAV-O-RITE!! Not only would it be a dream to hang out with this man, he also is dead on my first love which still lives in my heart even after all these years, since 1989. I have to meet Bobby!!

Zach Faught June 30, 2009 at 9:38 pm

Honestly, Kid Rock and Lynyrd Skynyrd are both huge influences on my own music. I would love to win this contest to take my dad to see and meet two of our favorite artists. My dad and I don’t really find many artists that we both like, but these two are one of the few exceptions. My dad is the hardest working man I know. He supported my mother through college while raising me and my sister and he would do anything to make the rest of us happy. For once I would love to see my dad smiling and enjoying himself, instead of being tired from work all the time. I really hope I win this for both of us.

rose tavaglione July 3, 2009 at 1:16 am

Would love to win, I am 62 yr. and love aerosmith and zz top, I have picture of zzz top car at my son ago of 16 yr. old. Love music all my life???????? This is on my list of thing too??????? Also love danceing too?

Alma July 4, 2009 at 5:04 pm

Aerosmith/ZZ Top was my first concert ever. Now my 11 yr old wants to go see ZZ Top. Can’t believe it!

holly johnson July 4, 2009 at 11:42 pm

please pick me!

Judy Jones July 6, 2009 at 4:01 pm

Why have I not been included in the “I’m With The Band”, contest’s, but one, which wasn’t my submission?
I have seen every one of the band’s that you are advertising except one and that would be Kid Rock, along with Lynyrd Skynyrd, as of whom was my daughter’s first concert, because she went with me at nine years of age. Hell, I want to see them all but Def Leppard, I have never missed one of their US shows, ever, and never want to. The same goes for Aerosmith and ZZ Top. I have membership’s with Def Leppard, which were nice enough to send e-mail’s, and Aeroforce1, which I have the back-stage pass and all but have never been acknowledged for any of the cash they are getting. On the other hand, I have an autographed drum styk from Frank Beard. No, I am not grandma Methuselua, but I am me and cannot see who would deserve to pass down the torch better in the United States than me. I will take a job with any of these bands and have no regrets!

Merrie Lockwood July 9, 2009 at 1:37 pm

Would love to see Def Leppard with Poison & Cheap Trick, Aerosmith & ZZ Top or Kid Rock & Lynyrd Skynyrd! Both bands rock. I have to give kudos to Kid as he was the ONLY “band” that I have went to that actually thanked his audience for coming during the hard economy. That meant a lot!

Toni July 9, 2009 at 7:44 pm

I entered for the first chance to win tickets to see Def Leppard, Cheap Trick and Poison. I of course did not win, and was devastated. Def Leppard is my fav band and I have wanted to meet them for as long as I can remember. I am going to enter to try to win for the second chance to win tickets to meet them and see the show again. I went to a show already this year and it rocked, even though Cheap Trick was not there. I LOVE Def Lepp and would love to meet them! Lov Joe Elliot especially! Hope to be the next winner. I have tried everything to meet them and have not been to successful, so hopefully my chance will come to meet them! Pour some sugar on me!

Lisa Ciconte July 10, 2009 at 9:31 pm

I would love to see Lynyrd Skynyrd again. They’re a legendary Southern Rock band! If I won a chance to see Def Leppard or Poison, that would be awesome. I love 80′s Rock Music & Videos.

Dave Doucette Jr July 12, 2009 at 8:53 am

I think Kid Rock and lynyrd skynryed is an awsme bill. I have not seen either of them live. I love both of those bands I grew up listing to skynard and have listened to kid rock sence he came out. And so has my wife.AT any rate that is a awsome bill for a great night of music.

Bob July 12, 2009 at 2:47 pm

Would love to meet Aerosmith backstage. They’ve been my favorite ever since graduating high school in the 70′s.

Maydene July 12, 2009 at 5:57 pm

Wow! it would be great to win this because I live in a small town and there are no concerts here lol.. I am with the band..

Darrell Bennett July 12, 2009 at 8:27 pm

Thanks!

annette bell July 13, 2009 at 7:42 pm

Cynthia Keeton July 17, 2009 at 11:13 pm

I would love to go, I am 44 years old and never been to a concert. I love Def Leppard, Fleetwood Mac, Kid Rock, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Poison. My husband Ricky surpised me and took me to the beach in 2006, first time I had every seen the beach. I love all 80′s music. We listen to it all the time. I have their tapes, and cd’s.
