BTW: I really think that quote I used fits in the way he stands in the business now. The prove is in what he's doing now. Do you see a tortured artist that hates the fact that there are onle 800 people in these venues? No he LOVES the scale of it: it loosens him up. Musically, too. |
I think he likes the small venues. But, he also loved the huge arenas on SYW. So, I guess he has both. But, I would still bet he would love for this record to have been a commercial success with sales over a million. As of now, it has sold less than 100,000 I think - though I could be wrong - which is commercial flop. I think with someone with his ego and history of huge commercial success, that has got to hurt on some level. I mean wouldn't we all feel that way even if just a little?
Note - this is not saying he is not happy doing what he doing. I just think he would have on some level rathered the additional commercial success.
