I find it so strange that Twisted Sister doesn't headline the US shows. At M3 Bret Michaels was headliner and now for the benefit, some band I never heard of. I think if Bret Michaels or Poison would come to a big European metal festival like Hellfest, Wacken or Graspop he/they would be afternoon material but definatly not headliner. Maybe TS is more 'exclusive' in Europe than in the States?
poison has sold over 14 million albums in america compared to twisted sisters 6 million so that gives them the power to request when they play. if bret michaels says "i want to close" he gets to no matter how dumb it is. if poison played these big festivals you speak of in europe they would get the right to close if they request it as long as no band there is bigger then them. yes i know bret michaels solo is not as popular as his main band poison but lets look at it like this. he headlined M3 and was the only performer on the bill to have a top 40 album in the last decade and michaels actually had 2 solo top 40 albums the last decade. |
