I know they play the same markets most of the time but could there a reason for that...how did the other tours do in south america and other countries,they probably would have sold well but would the overheads have been too high?...just a thought and yes I know other bands manage to pull it off...
I know greatest hits albums,live albums and box sets wouldn't involve as much work as a normal album but at least they did something...still more material than U2 and The Stones...
I do agree that they could do with a break,over exposure isn't always a good thing,but I doubt we will get a break until after the Hall of fame...
