BUT one i would find it hard to argue (although you may) would be Johnny Cash. He rocked face from '55 until 2003.
Cash, yeah. But he is country in my mind.
It's just my opinion, but I find it semi-remarkable that a band that's been around since 1973 in various incarnations can still sell out stadium shows today -- and do so with a setlist that hasn't really changed all that much since 1980.
Here's the setlist from the upcoming tour. It doesn't include music from the new CD, which I'm sure it will. It's also worth nothing that it only includes three songs from post-first-breakup period. None from the 90s period, although critically and commercially those albums (Hot in the Shade, Revenge, Carnival of Souls, Psycho Circus) were relatively successful.
This is the basic core:
"Deuce"
"Strutter"
"Got to Choose"
"Hotter Than Hell"
"Nothin' to Lose"
"C'mon and Love Me"
"Parasite"
"She" (Tommy Thayer guitar solo)
"100,000 Years" (Eric Singer drum solo)
"Cold Gin" (not played at Konocti Harbor show, August 31)
"Let Me Go, Rock 'n' Roll"
"Black Diamond"
"Rock and Roll All Nite"
Encores"Shout It Out Loud"
"Lick It Up"
"I Love It Loud" (Gene Simmons bass solo)
"I Was Made for Lovin' You" (Also not played at Konocti show, August 31)
"Love Gun" (Paul Stanley flies out to audience)
"Detroit Rock City"
Side note: It's amusing that the band has 19 studio albums and 18 compliation discs
