I'm confused.

So it's smart to not announce plans during the holiday season (because people apparently don't check the internet on their phones while they are on vacation).

BUT it's smart to spend a million dollars during the holiday season to tease a future announcement.

Wouldn't common sense dictate that your logic for not doing the announcement would also apply to the non-announcement ads? Shouldn't it be a bad time to do that as well?

And why in the hell would a venue or promoter spend a million bucks to advertise that GnR was playing? Every news site and music site on the web is going to announce it if GnR is reuniting at there show. GnR Facebook and twitter pages are going to reach 30-40 million people.

GnR reuniting will be the biggest music story of at least the first quarter of 2016. Spending a million bucks to advertise one show would be one of the worse use of money in the history of concerts.

You keep wondering why they don't make an announcement RIGHT NOW! If you can't see the basic reason why it makes more sense for ANYBODY to make a major announcement in early January rather than during the Christmas holidays, I'm afraid I can't help you further with that.

You then mentioned the movie theater teaser. First of all, it's a teaser, which generally means it's meant to tease something coming later. As for people being busy during Christmas, there is obviously still a captive audience at the beginning of Star Wars. As for the teaser itself, I think it's rather odd to spend money on that myself, and have no idea who paid for it, or what they're up to. If I had to guess, I would think they want to stream the Coachella concert in movie theaters. But at this point, we simply don't know.

Hell, just have to look to Van Halen 4 years ago announcing their album and tour by the same playbook more or less. Late December rumors/leaks about the album and a potential tour and then early January official announcements (and a secret show in New York). January 5th tour announcement.

Oh and they also did the same stuff with the website logo when Roth first came back in 2007, IIRC.

Lol. The rumors have been trending on the web and have made Rolling Stone and even Time Magazine.

But sure. Announcing the reunion on Dec 17 or 28 would have meant that NOBODY would have noticed.

Posts by forum members are getting reported on major music sites as news.

But an official announcement by GnR on Dec 30th would likely go unnoticed, seeing how people like to go to parties on the following evening.

The two new songs are The General and Atlas Shrugged.

And the album is CD II.

CD ll is at stake here, but I don't think Axl could have replaced 2 guitar players and a bass player after all the different incarnations and still expect people to connect with that.

And if CD ll is similar to Chinese, the musical approach invites a bunch of different styles and guitar players. Slash adding a few songs, leads, and solos could work on at least some of the material, at least I think it's likely.

I don't think Axl is gonna keep CD ll unreleased forever. I also think it's likely Slash will be used musically by Axl. He is bound to play on at least a few songs. Anything is possible.

Maybe they release it as is. But then Slash and Duff will help tour it. not unlike Dj and Ron touring CD. but it will be 2017 before you can say AFD Vegas Residency.

My gut reaction is best to let it be if it's finished, like Axl said it is. On the other hand, The General Inn and Safari Zodiac and the Slash song, Down By The Ocean and it's Slash and a Guns album.

It could be like how Bumble recorded his leads and rhythm guitars for Chinese. It was quick and snappy. I really have no idea, but Axl is a tinker. He has no problem adding more even if many will consider it done. That's the beauty of it: it is never done until it's released.

CD II might be done but over here is 3 songs Axl wanted to do with Slash for CD. So possibly Slash finishes them and they go on the album.

If it's a Self Titled album covering all eras. The Slash songs would bring back the early days, maybe there's Illusion era type stuff from Tobias, Dizzy and Axl, then CD era stuff with Finck/Bucket and newer stuff with Fortus.

If Axl has 40-50 songs, it's better that it dictates the approach mostly, and Slash and Duff fill in the gaps and make some Gn'R sense. What's ironic to me in this situation is that Paul Tobias is responsible for some tunes Slash can end up playing on. Kinda like Sympathy For The Devil in reverse with a 15 year gap.

Josh Freese alone wrote 3 or 4 AAA songs including Chinese. Why start from scratch with a reunion album now, when you have CD ll ready to go plus probably a lot of other unreleased material?

I feel like there is no way to know what Axl is interested in musically now, but I somehow doubt he'll start to churn out dated riff based cock rock all of a sudden. I think he'll try to fit Slash and Duff into his musical vision instead of compromising it with diluted horseshit.

Yeah, that's exactly what I said. :crazy:

Coachella has announced their headliner in January for the last 10 years. It makes sense for a company to announce something big in January rather than during the Christmas holidays. That doesn't mean NOBODY would hear about it, just that they want to maximize the impact of the announcement. Are these really difficult concepts to understand?

Slash could put some overdubs on "Cock A Roach Soup" and the trilogy could finally be complete.

I always knew that Axl was saving the BIG GUNS for the next installment.

I love it when you and wasted put your heads together, reminds me of an ass.

Man..... Rolling stone has indeed been quite..... Maybe they too busy uploading articles about Taylor swift and the Weeknd.

As any of the editors of RS will say there is life after the GnR reunion can't afford for those prima donas to feel alienated.Their little egos are gonna be bruised enough as it is.

I'll bet Slash is in the studio right now laying down some guitar tracks for The General.

I just hope Axl keeps the G chord and it's audible in the mix.

I thought that joke was for Atlas Shrugged, no?

Yes, I'm really stoned and it's 6 am. :shrugs:

Also, wasn't it a D chord?
