30STM Guinness Record and Pups concert count

I heard on the radio today that 30 Seconds to Mars is going for a Guinness World Record for most shows performed during a single album cycle. Their last album was released December 2009, and on December 5 they will have performed 300 shows.
Now, the Pups released TriPolar in July 2009, and since then I count 330 shows (counting from 'tour dates' threads, not including those marked as cancelled).
You see where I'm going with this?
I think Sick Puppies have played more shows for Tri Polar than 30stm have played in support of This is War.
Somebody double check me, because I could very well be wrong. Either way, that's a lot of work! (Thanks you guys!)

I'm bored, so I'll double-check.
That's pretty awesome though!

I counted 381...O.o but maybe I miscounted somewhere because my vision went blurry a couple times. Either way, it's definitely more than 300, WAY more!

I'm going to the 30STM show in December and I thought the same thing about the Pups when I heard about that. I know SP has been touring TP since July 2009 and they have played more than 300. I guess they just never thought to do any sort of Guiness Book thing for it. I wonder if there is anything we can do?

Well, we can tell the Guinness people for starters. They have to verify all this stuff.
They have an active FB and twitter. (I have neither, so...)

I wonder if it will matter that Polar Opposite came out during that time. There aren't any new songs so maybe not, but they may not qualify on a technicality.

I doubt it- they weren't touring for PO, plus it was an EP not a new album. Hopefully not.

Serves them right for beating us in all of those Fuse polls.
