What i really cannot understand are the excllusive contracts with KIT festival. I really want to see all these bands live (especially Jag Panzer with Bob & Titan Force) but since i do not live in Germany and i am in lack of funds and time, i will not have the opportunity to attend the show. My real question is: would there be an economical damage for the organizers of the KIT if they let the bands to play some other shows in Europe too? I believe that no matter what, the KIT would be sold out. Furthermore, why the bands agree with these exclusive shows? If they negotiated to play another show somewhere else (in Up the Hammers for example), the KIT organizers would not accept them in their billing? i do not think so...
I do not want to be rude with the band, i just do not understand why they did not schedule a few more shows in Europe since they will be around (with the "hapenings" of KIT or not), why they agree with the exclusive shows and why the organisers of KIT do not let the bands to perform anywhere else since in my opinion they will not be damaged.
Thank you for your time.
P.s.: Marco i ll see you at UTH, can't wait for the new album...
