One thing I don't understand!
« on: December 14, 2010, 03:23:12 PM »
How are the lists about these big tours created? Are only the artists with full record company support included in this lists?

I mean, I don't understand how can Guns N' Roses not be on this.

http://www.billboard.com/features/top-25-tours-2010-1004134022.story#/features/top-25-tours-2010-1004134022.story

For example... On the 6th place you have James Taylor & Carole King who suposedly sold a little less then 700 000 tickets.

Guns N' Roses Tour in 2006 was played, in Europe alone, in front of 700 000 people combined. Now this year they played massive shows in South America and Europe too. In my opinion the number should be even higher. But GN'R are nowhere on the list.

Not that it really matters, I just think it's false information that Phish's tour grossed more money than Guns N' Roses tour. Unless GN'R tickets are so very cheap. I highly doubt that.

The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think
Oh by the way, which one's Pink?

June 4th 2006 - Gods of Metal Festival (Milan, Italy)

I guess that's the problem. Rammstein made more money too than the last ten or so on this list.

If an album comes out, then buy it. If there's a concert you can go to, then go to it. You're not owed another record. You're not owed any inside stories. You're not owed the band to be managed by people you approve. It's just electronically recorded vibrations that you happen to like.

North America = USA

Why the hell would somebody call a U.S citizen a Canadian? Who mentioned that?

The question you were asked was "How is Canada not North America." If somebody asked you how England wasn't Europe, would you answer - "English people don't like being called French" ?
