We should be very thankful that great melodic rock artists have a
market like Japan in order to make it somewhat worthwhile for them to still make
music that we love.Example Nelson,Enuff Znuff,Mr.Big. If the US numbers
were any indication we would live life with only the Backstreet Boys&Spears.

I saw Mr. Big at a club that holds 2500, about 300 people showed up . The group was incredible Martin,Sheehan,Torpey,Kotzen collectively tore the roof off the place. A friend of mine who never had seen them before could not believe a group
so talented goes so unappreciated.

I guess thats why we pay the big bucks to get the imports instead of the US
market to release the stuff.
