    I sometimes wonder how fans who aren't supportive of the band's causes feel when the money they spend on the band goes to those causes?

    The poster prices are great. They're decent quality prints on decent quality paper for each show. Much better than normal flimsy easy-to-rip posters. I can't think of any other band that releases an individual poster for each show, it's great.

    The ames limited edition book is a little expensive, but it is for the die hard fans. Besides, the normal edition is there for anyone who doesn't wanna pay the big price.

    I'd definitely say the band are in it for the fans. No band would change their set so frequently if they weren't in it for the fans. In a live show it's so easy to coast through a tour with 1 set. They could easily sell out tours without having people follow them on tour for the ever-changing setlist.

    ok, well, if it makes you feel better, he donated the money I have given him over the years to obama, and used your money on happy meals.

    If i had a problem with things like this (which i probably would if the band was a bunch of neocons), i just wouldn't spend my money on them. luckily the band uses a lot of their money for good instead of evil, so its cool with me.:)
