Agree, Jon is not stupid, he knows that stadium tour in Europe is impossible. I would like to see them in smaller venues this time

Good and Good.

I've never felt this devastated about this band before.

Just because he said no to Stadiums it doesn't mean that they won't tour here in smaller venues (arenas). It would make much more sense as the band would struggle to sell out Stadiums these days, but they could pack out arenas!

I think Jon knows that nowadays they wont sell out Wembley and big venues.

Scale it down and rock out to 15000 people who want to be there.

Alright. We have Hartwall Arena in Helsinki, with the capacity of around 13,000 people. Jon, you know what to do...

PS. And Jon, if you come here and leave Always out of the set, I'll jump onto the stage and stick the mic stand up your ass. Actually, I'll do it either way - presumably during the bridge of Prayer, so the guy will finally be able to hit the high "Livin' on a prayer..." before the solo properly again!

Yeah, he'd rather spend the summer on the beach than touring stadiums.... Now if a European tour happens at all, it will be half a dozen arenas in the biggest cities and that would be it. This tour is a joke and dismisses the greater part of their fans. Anyway, I've been trying really hard to get myself to like the current sound and state of the band over the last few years and I'm slowly starting to admit defeat in this endeavour. If Jon doesn't give a **** about Europe, I won't care as a fan, either.

They do, but that's quite a blow to Jon's ego. Looks like that time has finally come.

Cant believe JBJ didnt know Jani Lane had died!

nickolai · #20 01-10-2018, 12:45 PM

How? They've played MSG multiple times, many indoor arenas across the states and from what I remember 15 nights in the O2 arena. Europe will be no different. If they wanted to play stadiums they could sell out. But it would have to be 1 big stadium per country - I.E. Wembley UK, San Siro Italy, Olympic Stadium Germany etc..
