Stupified
Does anybody know how many sales Asylum has made to date? Was just wondering if it's close to platinum yet and I'm not sure where to find out.

maybe there are people who see them now for the first time and would give anything to hear older hits live, as well as new ones
they're not going to die off, on the contrary.
Yeah, it's going to be harder for music artists as a whole to land platinum hits from now on...especially since downloading music is becoming the norm...give it 2 or 3 years, music stores will force to fold or force to ally with other music store companies...Bound2Fate wrote:PoisonIvy wrote:they're trying to please everybody they best way that they can

It is impossible to please everybody. I can understand people seeing them for the first time, but as for me, if they keep just playing their "hits" I will lose interest in seeing them live, especially since they've only been playing larger venues lately. Some bands play their newest album in its entirety then play a mix of the rest. Disturbed could do that to promote Asylum if they were playing for more than a measly hour. Or they can change up the setlist quite a bit night to night...
Anyways, how much is Gold? Half a million? Album sales are really dropping these past few years. I remember when I saw Disturbed after TTF released David said how they had just hit platinum(I think) and it had only been out for 4 or 5 months.
