I am very happy with the last couple of years that they have been doing short tours every year instead of worldwide tours say every three years. U get to see them almost every year this way. Plus i think since the band is getting older that they wanna spend more time with there kids and families and they dont wanna get tired of doing this. So all im saying is keep up the short tours every year and just wanted to know what u guys thought

    the short tours are nice for us in northeastern US, west coast US, and western europe but kinda sucks for the rest of the world. i can't complain personally, but i'd be bummed if i lived somewhere where they didn't go often or where traveling to/from was out of my price range (which is low considering i'm a college student with no money and tickets are expensive as hell to begin with).
    Speaking as a child of the 90's

    Hope they keep doing this. They said they have some new songs for the next album already. Like to see them put out album every year to year in a half before they get in their 50's to mid 50's. Damn were the fucking time go! I'm 40 now. Seems like I was just listening to Ten when it came out when I joined the military. Now 20 years gone! Keep it going boys. Went to 3 shows this tour and was awesome!

    The short tours are nice for you in northeastern US, west coast US, and western Europe but kinda sucks for the rest of the world (let's say Greece - only one time). I am bummed because I live somewhere where they don't go often or where traveling to/from is out of my price range (which is low considering I'm a student with no money and tickets are expensive as hell to begin with).

    It's slightly different from mustbechris' comment. But yeah +1. Thank you for the copyright mustbechris. :P

    I like the long tours. They still played their major markets quite a bit, plus some pretty cool suprise cities(like Champaign in 03) on the big tours
