Glad I saw the last one in Denver and have an official soundboard (the dude running sound was wearing an avenged sevenfold hoodie lol) I’m reminded of people saying “come to [US city]” in AAA and Sean responding something like “tell your local venue or promoter” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guessing the American government doesn’t like artists entering the states, making money, then taking that money abroad - applies to any country I guess. Might help explain why working visas are hard to get for smaller groups. Someone like Iron Maiden, for example, will fill a stadium and thousands of people descend on a small area with cash to spend (and the stadium owners probably fund city council folks).

Someone like Iron Maiden, for example, will fill a stadium and thousands of people descend on a small area with cash to spend (and the stadium owners probably fund city council folks). big bands have less worry about margins. i think it's like $3k+ to get a visa. though i've heard it's even more than that??? . so, it's expensive for smaller acts not making a ton of money w/every gig. they played 2 shows here in 2015. back to back. both were sold out. the 2nd date was only added after the first one sold out quickly and the time slot was there as they had a day off before going up to seattle. also, big bands hire a touring company in USA so they are giving work to americans.. though i'm sure there's a whole group that comes w/them from UK or wherever for doing sound and monitor mixes and they're usual people for working on certain parts of the live show. anyway.. the situation is dumb in usa for touring musicians and makes little sense when considering all the offshoring and revenue loss from business as usual manufacturing outsourcing etc. not like they're going to make up a bunch of revenue by charging artists a lot of money to come here. it's fuckn dumb. make it easy and cheap. everyone wins. good for businesses and venues etc..
