I keep reading shy it’s hard for artists to tour nowadays due to these rising costs. Sad.

I’m not sure. But I don’t think it makes sense unless you’re somebody super huge.

“Oh, it's pretty expensive," said Mustaine. "I think it's about 45 thousand dollars a day for us just to sit still. I think — it might be 52. But that's just sitting still; that's not doing a show. Show days are more expensive… [That's] salaries, hotel rooms, insurance — everything. The buses, the bus drivers, the trucks, the truck drivers. Yeah, a lot of stuff."

Busta was never a headliner. A show-stealer yes, but never a headliner.

He let the industry props the last couple years make him forget who he is and who he isnt.

It’s cool seeing him as a guest to do his “look at me now” verse and some of his classics..but nobody is going to a full busta rhymes concert

Hope there's nothing wrong health wise and such Bus a legend...

 

[Knucklehead]

All love to Busta but after seeing him do almost an hour on the 50 Cent tour was anyone really fiending for more?

Looking at the venues, a lot of those are 3-4k capacity places. One of the Texas locations is 5,000 capacity. Many of these are spots I'd expect someone younger like Schoolboy Q to be touring in a few months, not an artist like Busta. I'm not sure he has a fan base that justifies such a broad US tour. If this stuck to the east coast, Atlanta, and LA it would make sense. Just baffled why this started on the west coast....in San Francisco. This should have started in Philly or Detroit, in a 1000-2000 capacity venue.

Busta is a legacy act now and it's crazy how he isn't selling tickets but then again, most cats now were swimming in their Dad's sack when Anarchy and ELE came out.

That album came and went like the last couple Busta albums..


Busta's last good album was The Big Bang and that was back when I was in the 3rd/4th Grade...2006.


I'd rather see Busta make some movies.


Better yet, him and Red need to do a Verzuz
