apparently not
a band's placng on the bill is determined in many ways, and two of the most
important ways are by the bands ticket sales on their last trip thru the area
and current national soundscan lp sales. apparently dio is more popular with
the concert-going/record-buying public in the states.
sure, dio sucks and motorhead is great, but that's not how bills are put
together.
so it's a case of 'swallow your pride and open for dio or stay home and go
broke waiting for something "better"...'
motorhead needs to tour as much as possible between recording advances or
they would die.
just be thankful they're still with us, rocking out on the road at all
