It’s strange to pair Babymetal with the Peppers cause we’ve mainly seen Babymetal reluctantly touring with metal bands, but considering their commercial success and those 6 figure numbers, it was the right call. Now looking at those Aussie numbers from GN’R is quite a sight. It’s obvious that they love Axl and company down under. $38M kind of love. Not even my mother loves me that much but I didn’t write “Welcome to the Jungle” so I understand her.
