It's wrong. But I wouldn't say massively.

Was higher than 8,000. My guess is it was more like 11,000-12,000.

While these numbers aren't bad they defiitely don't equate to  the big huge welcome you just described. Seems pretty indicitive of the interest as a whole in the United States. Varying interests in regions give or take a few thousand is expected but I'm guessing it's not like Miami will get 20 000 people where Detroit gets 7000.  the descrepency between Detroit and Orlando doesn't seem all that much really. Just seems like an average interest across the board.

They aren't pushing ANYTHING.

CD was D fucking O fucking A, regardless of what Axl thinks. For as good as an album it was, it appeals to diehards only. Nobody gave a flying fuck about it in the states. They just didn't. No amount of Universal pushing it would change that.

Despite the fact it's GN'R v.6.3, the fact that Axl can still fill an arena half-full despite nothing to push, shows that U.S. interest is at 50% without Slash.

Pretty much obvious imo, considering they had the same average numbers in 2002, 2006, & now.

And btw, 6,000 compared to 12,000 is half the crowd.

You telling me that Orlando at 12,000 versus Detroit at 6,000 isn't fucking embarassing. The small market smokes Detroit? Says something about Detroit... not America.

Plus I thought Miami was a near sellout.

Just in case you fellow Detroit members are wondering, there will be a presale starting tomorrow at 10am on Live Nation. Password is "energy"

I was told the pre-sale password for both Live Nation and Ticket Master is "GNR"

Did that change? Or maybe either will work?
