atu2.com: Paul McGuinness is quoted in a Los Angeles Times article today which discusses the decline of stadium rock tours in recent years. Writer Randy Lewis says U2 is one of the few acts still capable of doing stadium tours, and poses the question to McGuinness which way the band will go next time out -- to stadiums or indoor?"It's a little hard to predict," U2's manager, Paul McGuinness, says."They haven't finished the new album yet, and the character of the new album and the new production will be the determining factors.
"Quite honestly," he says, "in the case of U2, it's more a function of what kind of music they want to do, rather than what kind of box-office gross they want to achieve.
"Certainly playing indoors is much easier, and the logistics are much more controlled," McGuinness says. "Now that high ticket prices indoors are accepted, if you're going to take the audience to a big outdoor event, you'd really have to be doing something very, very good, and we would take that responsibility very seriously. If we decide to go outdoors, it will be because it's worth doing something on a grand scale."noch kein Kommentar - Kommentar verfassen
