I was at that concert here in Puerto Rico! I didn't knew we were so many here...
Aside from the whole Warner debate, the future seems bright for DT with them making a music videos, marketing strategies and all of that.

I was wen they came to my country! TWO dates on the Obras (Pepsi Music) Stadium Outdoors, almost sold out!  Around 10000 each, that would make more than 20000 PEOPLE when they came to Argentina! 
And, supossedly they may come back the next year, great news! 
|
I think that they'll come here next year as well given how good they sold here. 10,000 is a big number! I can't imagine that much people in one place!

Well, Rush's first sojourn in Brazil was greeted with 125,000 fans in three cities- more fans than they probably realized they had in all of the Southern Hemisphere. A lot of prog bands probably have potential audiences they'll never tap into because of a lazy record label or a simple lack of communication.

I'm confused. Warner's stock is sinking like the Titanic, they just layed off hundreds of employees earlier this year yet they have $74 mil laying around to buy out Roadrunner? Further proof that the record business is a joke.

Exactly... though probably they wouldn't have reached that top 20 spot the article talks about...

could give a hoot about DT (coincidently as Raff subjects me to ACoS) but happy for Roadrunner records.
