HisRoyalSweetness Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) really? wow. i would have expected more. how many dates did gnr play last year? i know it feels like they've been on tour a lot. but has it been a lot of shows? or just long lapses between small legs of the tour?it'd be funny if nugnr's 'touring juggernaut' made less money than 'how to train your dragon live.' i hope there's some catch to the stats that's not apparent to me.

nathanhall Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 It'd be on top of the list if the real GN'R got back together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coma16 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 The majority of their 2012 shows were club-shows so I'm not really that surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 The majority of their 2012 shows were club-shows so I'm not really that surprised.This. Relatively small number of tickets available considering the number of shows they played.Surprised The Stones were 35th, would've expected them to be higher given the ticket prices, even though it was only 5 arena gigs.

jonah Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I think gnr is in the top 50 but they didn't release any info to this company who did the stats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Interesting. Gotta figure the majority of Metallica's revenue is just from Orion, no?Guns only really toured "normally" in Europe this year, all the US stuff was theatre-sized shows [uCAP, Vegas]. Not surprising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HisRoyalSweetness Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) well, i do think axl would have booked bigger venues with more tickets if he could. he's touring to make money. a show may be billed as 'up close and personal,' but don't kid yourself... that small show wasn't favor to you... it was an economic reality... you guys make it sound like touring all year in smaller venues and making less money than 'how to train your dragon live' was all part of his master plan or something.

Binge_And_Slash Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Why are The Scorpions higher than Aerosmith? They made $1 million more from doing over twice as many shows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ana_1991 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Why would they be??? The same tour last 10 years or so, who gives a fuck anymore? Only a hard core fans. And hard core fans are not enough for the "top tours" list... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bionic56 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I know the fanbase has dwindled but jeez would expect them to be in top 50, very disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not surprising I believe Metallica were happy just to break-even with their Orion Festival. Costs alot of money to organise something like that for the first time.

Babooshka Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) I didn't know Metallica had their own festival! I'm not really a fan of their music, but I respect how slick their operation has always been. You have to give Lars credit there. Those guys own their own masters, have their own label and festival. Imagine what GNR would have been doing once they reached legacy status. I reckon they'd have a festival too, and with the way rock has demised, they'd be even more well regarded and powerful within the industry.

ZoSoRose Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) i dont know why everyones surprised. seems like this is for the united states alone. all we had was the UCAP tour and Vegas Residancy. Thats like 20 shows in total in clubs and theaters.Edit: Oh shit, it is worldwide. Now I'm surprised. They've played a ton of places in 2012 and it seems attendence was decent. Oh well Edited January 4, 2013 by ZoSoRose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlRose14 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 GNR toured in 2012??Vegas residency counts???I'm sure they made the top "cash grab" lists so no worries people!!! NO WORRIES!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
