    Why are they playing Lallapalooza? What do they have in common with the other acts on that bill? They should have just concentrated on a new album and done their own tour and leave this goofy alternative festival alone.

    Metallica is playing Lallapalooza, AC/DC is playing Coachella, what’s next? Is Rush going to play CMT Fan Fair?

      They’ve not been very wise with their money. They’ve definitely made some bad decisions.

      Through the Never was a pretty strange film. It clearly missed whatever target they were aiming for.

      I’m sure they’ll all do fine financially, in the long term.
