Indeed they do
He seems to be a lot more popular already and actually play venues the size he deserves.

Well, venues that are good enough. I still dream of him playing heavy special effects ridden shows to stadiums full of people, The Roundhouse with The Retinal Circus seems like a good start to that kind of thing. His popularity is definitely rising in Europe, now we just we need it to go up in North America and hopefully other territories too.

Yeah, but there is something to be said for more intimate gigs in smaller clubs, where you can actually get up to the barricade and actually talk to the artist after the show. Big stadium gigs can be so sterile, and the band doesn't even usually attempt to come close to the fans.

I wholeheartedly agree, for the majority of his touring it would be great if he stuck with doing clubs and other small venues, but once in awhile he'd have a special tour where he would go to large venues in major cities to perform special 'theatrical' shows. That'd be pretty sweet.
