I mean its not like Blind Guardian and Symphony X can sell out an arena, not here in the States anyways. Blame it on how lame radio is these days, I only know one station here in the SF Bay Area that has even played Symphony X and that is a buddy of mine Billy Steele at 107.7 The Bone Metal Zone on friday nights. Also at least they are touring, its better than never being able to see them play live at all.
