How many?

[mark b]

I'm wondering how many people would actually come to see a symp x concert in Australia? 700- 1500 im gathering. What do you guys think?

 

[mawdyson]

Fuck yes I would. And I can think of a few of my mates who would too. It needs to happen!

 

[progmetaldan]

I would, and I reckon I'd be able to drag along a few mates as well... It WILL happen...

 

[CttN]

Don't forget us Kiwi's willing to hop over the ditch. All 5 of us \m/

 

[SilentRealm]

erm.. ive only been hassling for them to come for about 5 yrs now.. of course id be there, and i know a couple of people who would likely go also..

 

[clover]

I'd go, but only if they played Adelaide. Money's a bit tight at the moment to go hopping the border.

 

[DoomsdayZach]

I probably wouldn't go to this

 

[progmetaldan]

That's ok Zach, we understand...

 

[DoomsdayZach]

Thanks bro... *sniff*

 

[progmetaldan]

No worries brutha, that's what mateship is all about! *slaps Zach on back in hearty Aussie stereotypical way*

I think that estimate is a little high. I'd agree with it if people who wanted to see the band were all willing to travel to do so. Some are (clearly) not, so you'd get more of a local following, and that's bound to be less

Steve vai, malmsteen, they got about a thousand in brisbane. So you might be right, What sort of an audience would they pull in the USA?

 

[DoomsdayZach]

probably a couple hundred per city in most places. I doubt the seattle show got much of a turnout.

I am starting to find that SyX does in fact have a bit of a following here, down here in Melbourne I'm starting to find that alot of metal people, and maybe even most prog people seem to know them now. They probably wouldnt pull more than a couple of hundred people per show, but it would be enough.. Honestly I think it depends how well they get advertised more than anything..

 

[mark b]

If it's only a couple of hundred, would it be worth there while?

 

[reidie]

4-500 per state i'd say

 

[SilentRealm]

If it's only a couple of hundred, would it be worth there while?

it's why they havent come until this point.. but all of your smaller international bands can probably only pull about that much. It's not bad figures, better than like 20 people showing up..

 

[mark b]

I reckon they would get a few thousand in Europe, thats why i intend to move there!!!!

 

[SilentRealm]

Europe would be awesome.. maybe one day when my boy grows up I can.. not like I'll ever find a decent bf here worth staying for
