. I also remember reading something somewhere that the real reason for no uk shows was something to do with the band selling their publishing rights when Bruce and Adrian came back and playing in the uk would have meant a big tax bill.

Yes, that was most likely the reason:
"Tuesday, February 9, 1999 Published at 11:39 GMT"
The band is effectively taking out a $30m loan and promises to pay back its creditors through future earnings - a financial tool called 'securitisation'.

I also remember reading somewhere that they payed everything during the duration of the bond, and that the band now receives yearly royalties again on the old catalogue (1980 - 1998 material). They still own the rights to everything too.

Those were the days when the Fan Club put some great things together: trips, FC conventions, etc.

I remember being jealous seeing that from the distance.

They did used to put some great effort into some cool things back then.

I did another fc trip to Paris in 2004 to watch the early days dvd tour. That was another great trip.

Also remember the FC convention the day after Metal 2000 at Earl’s Court. Think that was the last convention the band ever did and I was lucky enough to get my first edition of the run to the hills book signed by the whole band.
