I don't know if I'd like them to tour/gig the album, the recent live versions of HB tracks have been far to slow and lack any real energy, I'd like to see another boxset or possibly a book?

Couldn't agree more. The only think I would want is some sort of book on The Holy Bible.

I can't see this being anything more than a gig in Cardiff and maybe one in London? They're not going to tour the THB properly, surely? I love the idea but wonder if it could live up to expectation.
As far as material goes, surely there's nothing new apart from maybe an official release of the Astoria stuff?
What could the book be about? It would be great, but if they're going to tell the story I'd be greedy and want a full 700 page biography up to today

I do not want they make a tour for the THB's20th anniversary, have you ever thought some people have nothing to gain since they're only touring Europe and do not want to take into consideration the latin America countries? Since i couldn't get one of those 10th package( for I was pretty young) , I'd like they release a 20th version or some vinyl stuff. Actually I don't want to waste my money for a 10th edition but I'm looking forward to being told that there will be some 20th stuff available. Also I'm looking forward to hearing the full Astoria gig is gonna be released as well...

I would kill for one date anywhere in North America, but that's obviously not going to happen.
My next fantasy would be a live stream from the gig they wind up doing in Europe. But, of course, they're not the biggest fans of the internet or technology, so that's not terribly likely either... But they seem a lot less opposed to it than they used to be. So maybe there's hope...

An Astoria DVD would be fantastic!
I would much rather "little" things like that, released as their own separate things, than another rerelease in an expensive boxset as the only way to get the new DVD or book or whatever small amount of unreleased stuff they didn't include on the 10th anniversary edition. Or at least have the big ginormous boxset, but also have the book or the DVD or whatever on its own; some sort of more modest option.

Why is that a reason for european fans to miss out? Unfortunately there isn't really the demand for american gigs, it cost them a lot personally.

I'll tell you what we ALL want that no one seems to have mentioned. And this is really quite important guys, you'll all kick yourselves for overlooking it.



Seriously, it's big.

If it made commercial sense for them to tour there, and if they wanted to, they might.

To put it simply, there's not possibility at all

I second that! They should finally play a proper gig here.

If they are going to do gigs, if they could avoid December 5th, 6th and 7th that would be grand. Got three nights with The Biff in Glasgow to look forward too!

Nicky once said in a radio interview (BBC Radio Wales' Bethan Elfyn interviewed him at the Cardiff HMV signing event) that he'd love to do some American dates although it depends on how well Futurology would sell. So, fingers crossed for you North American fans (and also for the Central/South American ones).
I personally hope there to be some Japanese dates no matter if I will be able to make it or not.

Sometimes i've started to think they hate the whole America not only the white one, apart from Cuba which i think they love I know an american tour imply high costs but if they don't wanna risk anything how they will do to gain more public. I put all the blame on all local music festivals promoters since they only invite money-making bands to play here.
Yeah, problem is the cost. They personally ended up making a loss on the last North American tour . I don't see why they couldn't do a few festivals though!

There should be two products.

A standard 12" issue.

A big box for people who like that kind of thing, with the vinyl, posters, rare or unreleased DVD footage and interview etc.

This way you can have a cheap/more accessible product and a crazy package that some will pay £50+ for.

I would only go for the vinyl...
