It doesn't work The AXS is (once again) only a benefit for the Americans and Canadians. We are kidded once again. And I must say, I really feel kidded with AXS.Why do they send the e-mail to everyone when not everyone can use it?

AXS is just a joke for all people outside the USA and Canada.

Because it is the typical attitude of Americans that only Americans will want to go to a concert in the US. They don't realise that other countries exist.

That's why it is called American-XS.

But they advertized it for benefits all over the world, not only for the USA.

They say anything to sell records. American companies are more about money than anything else. They don't care about being honest or not.

Or maybe they think that promoting Bounce further is a lost cause, so why waste more money when they don't have to?

Yes, and record companies abroad sell for the sheer fun of it. Money is not as much of an issue there. :roll:

Companies in general, not just record companies. From my experiences in the US, companies hire the stupidest, most idiotic, uneducated people that they can find, just so they can pay them less. They are unfriendly, rude and have absolutely no job satisfaction. I have a very polite friend, from a very polite country who got a job there. Before she went she couldn't wait to work in the US, after two years she is ready to go home. Dealing with American companies from day to day has made her hate the country, and she now has the same view of Americans that I have always had. She often gets different information from different people in the same *government* department. For this reason she always has to confirm arrangements at least 3 times with companies since it is vital that the info she receives is correct. I have dealt with airlines, telephone and electricity companies in the US, all have offered less than satisfactory service - they often gave me the phone number of a department for me to phone to work out my problem, even if it is not my responsibility, but theirs, to do so. Before I spent time there I used to think that some services in the UK were bad, now I know to be grateful and not complain.

I can't argue with you there. Darn, opened myself up for that one.

I agree. While European, Japanese and also South American fans travel quite a bit to follow the band, I hardly ever meet US fans on concerts outside of the US. However, I met more familiar [European] faces at Giants Stadium last time than I usually do when I'm shopping at my local supermarket. Their [the record company's] attitude is completely ignorant and SUCKS big time.

It's just a shame that most people don't realise how bad American companies are since they don't have the chance to experience different cultures.
