francoise Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I think they are far from that, otherwise they wouldn't have offered first category tickets half price on Groupon as deal of the day.... ..because there was no need to. He was very popular in 2008. Agree with you Suzie Yes, I agree but for the Parc des Princes, he was really at the top of sellings etc. in France. For this gig, it's nearly 2 years after the release of TBWKTM and he didn't show up in France since a few festivals last year. It's hard to sell 25000 tickets just on your past success (except if you are the Rollings Stones, Prince or big big names). Until a few days, even in France there was no promotion of the gig. 25000 it's huge and you have to convince more than the fan base. Yes, they say "single" but as other says, I say it as single in France / bonus track in other countries. I don't mind he release a new song just to promote the gig, I'm happy we'll hear new sound and I'm happy we'll know it for Compiègne. He shows up to say "hey, I'm still here, don't forget me I'll be back in a few months" : Agree with you also Deb And not to mention he has played live 18 times last year in France between his gigs and the festivals with a huge success All those who wanted to see him live last year have had plenty of chances to do it. In those circumstances, it's hard to fill again a 25 000 seats venue without any new song to show up. That's perfectly understandable It sounds like the unexpected release of this french song is directly to support the tickets sales for Compiegne but who can complain? A new song to come is always a GREAT news, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzie Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Exactly. Forgotten everywhere else, and focusing just on one country anyway is what confuses me. Yes, I knew you understood it, so my post was just a late night sarky comment on the idea of this release.( I even needed to edit it this morning as some veteran teachers of English who for years have lived in the belief that my English was perfect would have cut their veins having seen the the unnecessary use of a preposition there. ) I also totally understand that he is releasing French songs / even singles. I was one of the fans 'campaigning' for French and Italian songs as bonus tracks. With this release the only thing I doubt is that it makes sense to release a single basically only in France and waste time promoting it. On the other hand, he hasn't had a single for a long time so it should be really beneficial for him to have a hit in France again, before the new album in released. I think in all other countries he would need to build up the promotion of any new release from scratch and it makes no commercial sense to do it now for this one song only.
