Donald Trump shut down negotiations to get a huge rock band at one of his Inaugural balls ... in order to cut costs and potentially save tens of millions for charity. Inauguration sources tell us the Committee was close to landing a legendary group -- one that's in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame -- but when the President-elect found out they wanted more than $1 million for the gig he pulled the plug.
We're told Trump implored the rockers to reduce their appearance fee -- but when they refused he told the Inaugural Committee to move on to other artists. Mind you, there's plenty of dough. The Committee's reportedly received more than $90 million in donations, but we're told Trump instructed all involved to keep expenses in the low millions because whatever is left over is going to charity.
Trump’s gonna do this thing his way. I like it.
Any clue as to who the band was ?
Just gotta love Trump for stuff like this.
[Any clue as to who the band was?]
Who cares? No band is worth a million dollars for one gig.
Who?.................
Probably not Broose Springstain.
AC-DC?
Big Balls
AC/DC
I’m upper, upper class high society
God’s gift to ballroom notoriety
And I always fill my ballroom
The event is never small
All the social papers say I’ve got the biggest balls of all
I’ve got big balls
I’ve got big balls
And they’re such big balls
Dirty big balls
And he’s got big balls,
And she’s got big balls,
But we’ve got the biggest balls of them all!
And my balls are always bouncing
My ballroom always full
And everybody comes and comes again
If your name is on the guest list
No one can take you higher
Everybody says I’ve got great balls of fire!
I’ve got big balls
I’ve got big balls
And they’re such big balls
Dirty big balls
And he’s got big balls,
And she’s got big balls,
But we’ve got the biggest balls of them all!
Some balls are held for charity
And some for fancy dress
But when they’re held for pleasure,
They’re the balls that I like best.
And my balls are always bouncing,
To the left and to the right.
It’s my belief that my big balls should be held every night.
I’ve got big balls
I’ve got big balls
And they’re such big balls
Dirty big balls
And he’s got big balls,
And she’s got big balls,
But we’ve got the biggest balls of them all!
And I’m just itching to tell you about them
Oh, we have such wonderful fun

No idea.
"Inauguration sources tell us the Committee was close to landing a legendary group -- one that's in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.."
We know that he likes the Rolling Stones, Aerosmith (he played their music at rallies) and it seems the Beach Boys (Mike Love's portion of the band) were asked. All in the Hall of Fame.
I doubt it was the Dixie Chicks, either.
I hear it was .....SAM THE SHAM & THE PHARAOHS !!!!!
Mariah Carey is still available and she’s easier on both eye and ear than a bunch of desiccated rockers.
I don’t know if this is it, but heard on the radio that B Street Band (something for B Springstein?) was going to play and now is not going to play, so possibly this is it.
Yeah no rock artist is worth $1M. But rap? no problem.

All the band has to say is the money will pass right on to charity once in their hands ... deal done.
I’m sure barnam and bailey are available.
Dunno, but you can’t always get what you want...
I smell Gene Simmons.
