Obviously [Black] Sabbath is definitely a huge name and of course deserving with Ozzy coming back.

Obviously the best way to retain the most profit is to not give any of it away. That's something that you certainly learn through the years.

Many times we talk about the people that have come to enjoy the show. They went through a lot to get here, whatever they needed to work out in their lives; they got babysitters, they traveled, and purchased the tickets. So it's up to us to deliver the goods!

I experimented a bunch with Ernie Ball in getting the strings to not flop around too much, but at the same time not to be too thick to where you're playing telephone cables.
