Yeah - but none of these (including Metallica) are Young Guns. They are in the same old guys category.

Oh, I fully agree there.
None of the "young" bands can do a ww stadium tour.
I was just throwing there names on because I think, especially together (which is supposed to happen again next year =]) Billy and Elton have the drawing power to pull it off.

I think Billy would do pretty well here in the states, but not better outside the U.S. and vise versa for Elton.
