Having been to shows in the US, Canada, and Europe, the crowds are just completely different. For the most part, the US audience is much more of a "hits" audience and have short attention spans. A lot of the US fans don't even know Blood On Blood which for us is a known song. Plus, not to diss my own country but the crowds overseas are soooooo much more enthusiastic and also they stay around for all songs, none of this getting food, or beers or in and out for the bathroom.

I just think the band knows that what flys in the US in regard to set list, for the most part, doesn't fly overseas.
