You do know that gnr are the only band ever to headline two rock n rios right? Also I already proved to you that gnr sold out around the world. OH I guess you forgot that post right?

Here it is again.

May 27th, 1992 - 75, 000 people at the Cannstatter Wasen in Stuttgart, Germany.
June 21st, 1992 - The band flies to Basel, Switzerland.
Another sold-out show at the 50,000 capacity St Jakob Stadium in Basel, Switzerland.
June 27th, 1992 - Show in Turin, Italy at the Della Alpi Stadium in front of 65,000 fans.
June 3rd, 1992 -Hannover, Germany to play at the Niedersachsen Stadium in front of a crowd of 60,000.
November 25th, 1992 - Caracas, Venezuela. In the absence of a suitable venue, the show is played outside one in a parking lot in front of 45,000. The biggest show ever staged in Venezuela.
Hayarkon Park in Tel Aviv, Israel. Over 40 000 fans had gathered to see GN'R at the biggest concert held in Israel.
June 12th, 1993 - Show in front of 31 000 at the Olympic Stadium in Stockholm, Sweden
June 22nd, 1993 - Played in front of 50,000 at Wildparkstadion in Karlsruhe, Germany.
July 8th, 1993 - Nancy, France for a show in front of 20,000 Zenith arena.
July 16th, 1993 - Play in front of 70,000 at River Plate Stadium.

Yeah gnr didnt sell out world wide arenas. Get a clue.

heh, and you accuse me of ducking the facts, still no lifetime acheivement awards, and still not the second best album selling band after the beatles. thats what this was about to me, arguing against your statement of "biggest band since the beatles". a peak isnt equal to being the biggest, its how long you can stay relevant and successful which equals that accolade. and ultimately, its about album sales- album sales reflect the true success of a band- not gig attendences, everyone else knows that but you. im well and truely finished with this thread. your quite predictable, i see another "again, youve been beaten blah your an idiot etc etc." post on the horizon. enjoy his reply guys.
