How likely will Garth Brook's "return" end in failure?

Heard he wants to make a come-back. I give it a 90% chance it is an epic failure. Those of you know who know who he is, what say you?

Define failure?

Thousands upon thousands of people still love his music (I think his music sucks donkey dick). I imagine he can still make quite a bit of money off of a tour which =/= failure

His sound is perfect for today's country radio. He'll do big numbers

My gut says a Garth Brooks tour would be a huge success.

I'm not a fan of Garth Brook's but where did all this hate come from?

I'm holding out for the Corey Gaines comeback myself.

But seriously, Garth was one of the biggest artits in music (nevermind just the country genre) at one point. Anyone prematurely counting out a comeback would be ignorant of musical history.

It's a nostalgia tour that will make millions upon millions of dollars. Hell, I'll probably go as long as it isn't too expensive.

The album won't do the same numbers as his 90s stuff for obvious reasons, but I'm pretty sure it will do real well.

You really don't know the Country music audience...at all. Will he recapture the degree of success he had before his hiatus? Maybe not, but he'll be in the Top 10 on sales for years.

He will sell out every one of his shows on his worldwide tour within minutes.

As for chart success, I think he'll be similar to George Strait at this point. He'll get someone to write songs that appeal to the masses and they'll chart well and his albums will do well. He'll never dominate the charts like he did, but I see almost 0% chance of failure.

It will do good cause he will get Carrie Underwood on a track for the album and few others. Mark it down.

For the last 5+ years he's sold out every show at $250 a ticket....
