In the beginning, I didn't have to love them, my acts. It was mostly about being successful, getting a trophy, and making some money. Now if I don't love the idea of it, I don't work on it.
Right now we've got about 36 of them booked.
Very, very rarely do you find bands underpricing.
For fans this will be the greatest tour yet.
The band is redefining the concert experience - there is nothing even comparable to the thrill of being onstage with the Rolling Stones and seeing a stadium show from the band's perspective,
We have received the deposit money from Hong Kong and the band's lawyers have a signed contract having concluded negotiations last week.
Yes, 'Spider-Man' has had an infinite capacity to trouble and disappoint. But it's also been the greatest triumph of my entire career.
As long as you don't think about the whole big picture, producing 'Spider-Man' is a fantastic experience.
I think 'Spider-man' is a pop culture rock show that was meant to be in arenas.
I am an arena creature - by birth, I think. Most of my life has been spent as a rink rat.
I'm sure we'll beat it. More important than anything else, I think the fans are enjoying it more, I think the shows are better, and I think the band is playing better than ever.
