TOPIC: US vs the rest of the world supporting metal
[ron h] Saturday, September 05, 2009 7:57:48 AM 
I think it's because of the size of the States.  Overseas you've got smaller countries grouped together, like our New England states, therefore there's no need to play a 30 show tour in say Europe...a couple of shows will do it and the fans flock because there's so few.  Using where I live as an example, I could have caught Priest at any one of 6 of their shows all within 500 miles **Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Louis, Indianaplois, Detroit or Cleveland** 

That being said, we don't have a Download Festival type event.  At one time we had the US Festival, which if continued it could have rivaled a Download, but that never happened.  Just an opinion off the top of my head...but it's certainly not for a lack of enthusiasm!!!
