why is the LA show on a fucking tuesday, damn.
its irritating that all bruce(and apparantly just bruce) cares about in north america is our money
actually, they make much more playing in europe then in us….if he they cared about was money, they would only tour europe…in us they charge around $60 for an arena show…in half of european countries, they pack a soccer stadium with at least 50K people at 60-80 euros a ticket…do your math…however bruce has been on the record saying he is not a huge fan of playing the states cause the crowd is dead half of the times and having seen them twice in europe i could not agree more….every time i see them in the states, half of the crowd just sits there with a hot dog and a beer while europeans go nuts at their shows and they feed of the energy and get better set lists in return
amen reznor. US shows in small venues can create some high energy, but stadium shows draw alot of gawkers who have money to blow and no clue what is happening on stage.
I would almost say that is a typical US behavior. We tend to just sit around like lazy dolts and gawk at stupid shit.
Case in point: Britney Spears. She is covered at least half the time CNN, Fox News, ABC News are on the air. We sit back and say “Damn she be so stupid. Wendy get me a beer and check out how stupid Spears is!”
I am rambling. If that made any sense to you, you are on cocaine.
