why do bands think "europe" means germany and maybe the netherlands

[Doom]

I guess Primordial and MB have played their fare share of gigs in England over the years that I've missed, but seeing as they come from fucking Ireland which is what, a 5 minute swim away, they could at least come and play here a lot more, like for instance, at my local pub every Friday night. Selfish wankers!

Here be monsters. Primordial with Mourning Beloveth played here in September, but i prefered to see Orange Goblin (who played in the exact same night) because i prefer man music.
By the way it is more "Balkans" here, than Europe. Which makes me happy in some cases.

Orange Goblin rules, but I doubt they want a pompous ass like you as a fan.

if the fans would support it, their would be someone making a profit off it.

The same reason they think the US means California, Texas, and New York.

Come to Utah, anyone.

^ nah.
No one likes the Mormones.
thank god we got them all in one state, we don't want the outside world
to mix with them.

you're only half right.
The promoters bring bands to a place who loves metal to begin with.
Metal in Europe is WAAAAY bigger than here.
Holland for example, is the size of Rhode Island, but you'll see a band
who has 3-4 dates there alone on almost every European tour.
The fact that people love metal, and metal is very "acceptable" there,
gets more promoters: and more promoters: more dates.

exactly. that's why I'm constantly amused by the nevermore board's "oh woe is me why doesn't nevermore do a headlining tour in my living room" ~ well, they would, if it was economically viable.

You only wish that were the case. Less than 1/10th of the mormons live in Utah. There's a lot more in California, actually (just not percentage-wise).

there's a crusty old dude who works here who's a mover and shaker in the local mormon community. It frosts his ass when women get assertive.

 

[cthulufhtagn]

i have to point out 2 months late that this tour is going to hungary, austria, and belgium in addition to germany and NL

 

[lizard]

anyway, its a european tour because it's a tour in europe, you don't have to do a show in Luxembourg to be a european tour.
