LOL.
This is the post that made me log in for the first time in about a year.

Doesn't Axl intentionally place songs that "mellow" things out, and cause the show to lose momentum after the Donnington incident?

When I used to help with booking at a 2000 seat music hall, we used to have to take acts that were coming through in order to get access to the bigger, better acts from the same promoter.

For example, we had to take Scatterbrain, right after the "Hey Dude, don't call me Dude!"  was getting heavy play on Headbanger's Ball.  We had a crowd, that was literally in the tens.

Two months later we were given access to more sellable acts (at the time, at the time!), like Slaughter and White Lion.

I hate to say this, but is there a more marketable act that Azoff has going  through Canada soon?  I can't see any other reason for the amount of shows in some of these arenas.
