Sloshy and Duffy both depart the band so there clearly exists a method, a will and a means to depict band members departing in this thoroughly fictitious rendering of real events; why not simply have Stradlin and Adler depart '1990-1' - it would add all but 0.5 seconds to the clip? The purpose of the video is to tell why this tour matters. The video is about Axl, Slash and Duff, the most relevant members of the Not In This Lifetime tour. No one's saying that they were the only one's who started the band. But they were there at the beginning of the success. Slash, and Duff left, but they are back in the band now. That's the story that the video is telling. It's not about who created the band, who have been in the band throughout the years or who are in the band now. It's not supposed to tell the whole history of the band. It's the story of Axl, Slash and Duff and why this tour is so important. If you cannot see that, I cannot help you a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lies They Tell Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I gotta agree that the news has to be pretty big. Otherwise it would be pretty mean to tease with a video like that. My guess is that either it's a show or some shows with Izzy and Adler, or it's about a new album. Even a new single would be big enough news I guess, but GNR has never really been a band that only releases singles. That's why I'm assuming that it's either a full blown reunion gig or a new album announcement. I guess it could be some sort of a live record too, but to me even that would be slightly disappointing after that teaser. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no1gooner Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Wouldn't be a bummer if it were Izzy and Steven will be renuiting for shows later in the summer being announced on the eve of Slane. Be right kick in the teeth for the first few dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnr5 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I bet $100 its a AFD show where they are going to play the album in order. No special guests will be announced officially. Hope Im wrongl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swedish Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 On he 24th of May 1991 the first show on the UYI Tour was played. It's probably just a coincidence, but it might be worth noting! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of the four employees the band have, Richard is by far the one I like the most but the way some people overestimate him is insane. What did he do to deserve to be part of the partnership? Why would they include him and not Dizzy Reed who was there before the original band broke up (and contributed a lot more on CD)? Richard Fortus is just a hired hand. A very good one in my opinion, but still a hired hand. GNR fans are so weird, I can't imagine Rihanna's fans telling she should turn into a duet called Rihanna N' 4tus...

Izzy is the foundation of this band and the songs these three assholes are touring behind. I expect this from axl but I'm really disappointed in duff and slash for going along with this dishonest and incomplete "timeline" just for the money. Sad to see it play out this way, especially when Izzy was the one guy who got along with everyone during the Dark Ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmygod Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I can be wrong, but if it had something to do with Steven and Izzy they would have included them in the time line and indicated at what points that left like they did via Duff and Slash. Also, no mention of the the Live album or even the Greatest Hits album that was massive sales wise... Also, the post is indicative of something new in the future. One would HOPE that it's an announcement of a new album given they point out every studio release before. But it could be a new live album as well. Regardless, this Wednesday will be very interesting IF this all comes into fruition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sibidy7 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 It's just going to be an announcement for a fall arena tour of the US. I know they have been in talks with the United Center in Chicago about a show in the fall. Pretty sure that's all it is unfortunately. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I don't believe there will be an AFD5, but just for the sake of argument... If Izzy's and Steven's name was in the video, the speculation would've gone wild on here on the symbolism of their names being there. So... if they had included Izzy and Steven, they would risk giving away the surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love even a single or EP or something though. But yea, arena tour fall - till Christmastime sounds right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 It is a weird band that sort of has two line-ups at once, an one they actively market (Axl, Slash and Duff) and an expanded one (id but incorporating Fortus, Dizzy, the girl and the other chap).
