i'm used to it. big 4 should be a US tour

Well, Europe's economy kicks the crap out of the US's economy and people in Europe are able to pay for a good bit of tickets which is why Europe gets twice as many tours as the US does.

Wasn't there a tour last year with kreator and ezodus?

drinkwine732

They should get twice as many tours, but they shouldn't get twice as many good tours.

yeah there ws chewie

but death angel added makes me jealous

drinkwine732

All four of these bands are killer

Stratophony

this has nothing to do with Economy


go to a "European-band" tour one of these days... you´ll get 50-75 people average.

In Europe... those same tours sell out.



what a disgrace it was watching Primordial in a crowd of, at the most, 50 people.

Half these bands are American.

rammstein516

It's not mainly because of where the bands are from, take Machine Head for example, it's been seemingly forever since they toured the US but they've been touring Europe for forever. This country is broke and Europe is flourishing, where would you tour?

Europe isn't doing much better economically, if that's what you're saying...

"Well, Europe's economy kicks the crap out of the US's economy and people in Europe are able to pay for a good bit of tickets which is why Europe gets twice as many tours as the US does."

I think it's got more to do with them just simply being a more loyal of a fanbase then us. Bands know their gonna draw instantly. It's always been that way. We can afford to go to shows, we just don't.

Was I the only one who initially thought this would b about the Final Countdown band?

"Europe isn't doing much better economically, if that's what you're saying..."

Not by much but 1 EUR cost 1.20 USD, it should be 1 to 1.

True, plus Metal is much bigger in Europe than in the US, sadly.

It hasn't been 1:1 for a loong time.

Basically, the US is full of trend hoppers, and Europe isn't.

I'm telling you right now, if you're going to move to any European country it has to be the UK. I could give you a huge list of why I had an excellent time living there and why I plan on moving back in the future.
