It'd be cool to have a "maintenance" part of the game, in between the main events and gameplay. You'd do "tour shows" which of course are playing the songs, and apart from picking the standard difficulty you'll also choose "venue difficulty": The local open mic night pub is one song, a standard venue/small festival gig is three songs and an arena show/headlinging a festival would be five songs. You'll have the same 'audience' hp bar throughout the whole set so you might do a killer show but get chased off the stage when Through The Fire And Flames comes for your ass. Larger shows of course give better cash (and xp?).
And this is where the Football Manager 202X part of the game kicks in! You gotta hire people for your tour, roadies, tour manager, hire a bus (cheaping out getting a scrap heap without breaks means it'll die on you halfway to the show or your bassist getting killed, resulting in delays, a pissed off audience and less pay), sound and gear technician, etc. etc. And of course all the visual stuff you talked about: Different styles of clothes for the band, backdrops, pyrotechnics as well as gorillions of amplifiers, Slash-style.
