Hey guys,

Just thinking about all the buzz about this going to be a big tour and figured, as probably many of you, what does this exactly mean in terms of European shows.

Sure everybody thinks they're going to go back to South America and some middle east countries they haven't visited properly since 95.

But focusing in Europe, last year there were a lot of rumors of them playing in eastern countries - which eventually proved to be wrong. But couldn't there be some seeds and first contacts of these markets with the band's management so they can repeat their 96 experience, when they performed their truly last European tour - not only the 2 majors markets of Germany and the its neighbors and UK/Ireland. Do you think they can truly set out to do one of those tours and include France, Italy and the Eastern market? And even proper shows in Portugal, Spain and Scandinavia.


Other thing I thought a major tour could mean in terms of European shows, would be for them to do 2 separate tours in this continent. First an arena tour in the winter, and then, in the spring/summer, their usual stadium tour. Sure they already do it in the US, but could they do this again in Europe, since they have done it for instance in 1993? It makes sence since bands like Metallica or ACDC do it, and sell out both tours. This way they could easily spread their tour to 18 months and separate a more new album focused show (arena tour) and then a greatest hits collection (stadiums). Do you think it would be a good idea and realistic?
