and of course bigger sheds with their lawns can take more people than arenas. so now you're just arguing for the sake of arguing.

nope i'm not talking about those cases. you have beach boys touring at the same time as Brian Wilson. GnR at the same time as Axl Rose (well, not this year, lol!). the list goes on. come on, you know better!

aren't you the same guy who was arguing to the end of the world and back how FM just had to fire Lindsey because he wanted to tour solo in between FM dates and therefore take away their revenue? and the rest of us were saying how that's absolute bs. glad you finally came over to our side, took you a while!

nobody is disagreeing with that, that's why promoters voted to fire Lindsey instead of firing Stevie, it's a difference between a secure vs less secure deal. but FM could tour and fill arenas without Stevie, on the bases of their brand. a bit cheaper though. and maybe not sell out every show (which they didn't even with her anyway!). and there would be some disappointed people expecting Stevie leaving the show same as there were disappointed people about crappy sounding band all over Europe. yet fakewoods and promoters didn't care, they pocketed the money.

as for 1990, it was the time before the interwebs. people here talk about so many people going to the shows and not having any idea who will be in the band. apples and oranges - and again, you know better!
