$74 million dollars bigger I suspect. Nickelback doesn't headline 
festivals...and they don't do opening slots. They only headline. And they've 
been doing this since before they broke open on album #3. Green Day's 
getting great exposure doing what they do...and there's a definite payoff 
for them. But if you're talking global domination to the level of the Stones 
or whoever, that'll take more years of being in control of their fate, 
catering musically and stylistically to the masses and marketing themselves 
to the world demographic above the 14-24 year olds who currently dig them.

In other words...they must sell themselves as a brand.
