RATM: Microphone Fiend
RHCP: Suck My Kiss or Quixoticelixer
If there is something we learnt from Atlanta, it was that it doesn't matter who is buying the ticket (resident or not) it's that SOMEONE is buying a ticket. So yeah it doesn't matter if they are in town to visit, as long as they sell tickets.
