I I have to say, i don’t remember caring about an albums sales ever!! But I am interested to see how SI goes, if the album stays relevant and sells strongly then it could only mean the band will keep going which is a good thing! Do we know the official sales numbers for both the album ( pre order) and the Superhero single?
Also it seems pretty quiet on the video front, I’ve heard conflicting reports about a video for Superhero and another song before the band hit the road. Sunny side up keeps coming up so we”ll see. Can’t wait for the album to come out!
Nice dude! I love road trips to gigs. I drove from NY to detroit then Illinois to see pearl jam.
No, have to drive about 5 hours.
Awesome! R you in GA?
See ya there nick…
Thanks for the constant updates admin. I must come here 15-20 times per day. I’m really curious to see how the MSG show sells. I don’t even think they could of played there in the early 90s! I’m still shocked they’re playing there. I have my 2 GA tickets! I can’t wait. Should be a special show. I hope they pull out all the stops!!
