recklessroad Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I don't see how they could have done that. There would be no way that they could have funded it. That band cost a lot of money to keep on the road and those tiny gigs wouldn't be able to pay to keep the band on the road. Maybe if they were able to squeeze a few in between the big gigs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I do not agree. Big bands do small tours all the time. The Stones did the Stripped thing in the 1990s and still do warm ups in clubs before every major tour. Metallica do club shows for fan club members.

hellobeatle Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I do not agree. Big bands do small tours all the time. The Stones did the Stripped thing in the 1990s and still do warm ups in clubs before every major tour. Metallica do club shows for fan club members.Stripped wasn't a tour, just 3 or 4 one-off intimate gigs while touring the massive Voodoo Lounge tour. Those Shows were specifically for the recording, so they would've incurred recording expenses regardless. The Stones warm-up gigs are usually 1 or 2 shows in Toronto before they embark on massive $100M+ tours. Metallica do 1-off club shows for fan members. Neither of those bands would ever do a full-on club tour. I'm in agreement with Marc that they could've done some one-off club gigs but never a full club tour in 1993 as they were just too big then.

maynard Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 A small tour with the punk-ish vibe of TSI could've worked after the pretentiousness of the UYI tours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowmass Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Axl should have done a 'solo' type TSI tour with Tobias etc...to get it out of his system. Then regrouped with the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

recklessroad Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 By the way I was at the gig the stones played at the wiltern about 12 years ago and it sucked. Jagger did that gig as if it a stadium gig. He didn't really make a connection with the small crowd and it seemed like he was not having any fun playing to the small crowd that night.

GUNNER PT Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) Gnr brings a much bigger crue and payroll then those other bandsSo ... do you consider that GN'R brings more people than necessary with them (now and before)?A small tour with the punk-ish vibe of TSI could've worked after the pretentiousness of the UYI tours.That would be great for the harcore fans ... but, I can see some negativity in your words regarding the UYI tour ... it was a great tour and it was necessary to consagrate GN'R as the biggest band in the world, at that time.
