UYI has been the longest tour in rock history. The band had played a total of 192 dates in 27 countries. Over seven million people had seen the band perform in the 90s (from 90-93).

Here are just a few dates that none of the bands on that list can claim they played in front of more people in these areas.

Hayarkon Park in Tel Aviv, Israel. Over 40 000 at the biggest concert held in Israel.

Show in front of 75,000 people at the Cannstatter Wasen in Stuttgart, Germany

Show in front of 60,000 people in Hannover, Germany

Show in front of 50,000 Wildparkstadion in Karlsruhe, Germany.

Show in front of 50,000 Basel, Switzerland.

Show in Turin, Italy at the Della Alpi Stadium in front of 65,000 fans.

Show in front of 70,000 at River Plate Stadium

I wont even bring up album sales since none of them come close to gnr for world wide sales.
I am sorry but none of those bands were as huge as guns n roses nor were they as good.
Not this argument again

Exactly why I picked RHCP over Nirvana and co.
