parisrocks Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I'm most stoked to get some real press and interviews out of Axl!!! This is going to need to be hyped to shit to sell stadiums.Many think this tour will sell itself. I disagree. I wholeheartedly disagree. Stadiums are a lofty goal. I love Guns more than anything, but Rolling Stones they are not!That being said, a reunion tour w/out new music is a pure novelty, Please, please, please make some f'n music!!!Then, get out there and sell it!!!

Trin9498 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Prediction? No new music. Just don't see how they bury the hatchet after 20 years, write & record music when Axl could only release one album since the breakup. Seems ambitious..... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billsfan Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Well we are allegedly getting two new recorded songs so, I could see an ep of some sort coming out.. I'm just not sure about big press. I could see a couple of interviews with axl but, I can't see him doing too much. Duff and slash have always done the most talking so I'd bet they would do most of the talking.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-GenerationX Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Stadiums seem ambitious to me as well.I think they are in that middle ground where they could draw more than an arena could hold, but not quite a stadium.Say, 30 to 35,000. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtle Signs Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Stadiums seem ambitious to me as well.I think they are in that middle ground where they could draw more than an arena could hold, but not quite a stadium.Say, 30 to 35,000.Agreed but maybe more depending on the opening act and the market. Ticket prices are also a factor. We know how much top tickets (apparently ) will be but how about mid level prices? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Money Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I think MLS Stadiums would be safe in the United States. I agree, some hype will need to occur here. I could be totally wrong. They have access to all of the music sales data etc that armchair concert promoters such as ourselves don't have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a good opening act I think baseball stadiums are doable. Football would be tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long-term fans may be willing to pay a lot - if they can. Some casual fans/people who want to be able to say that they've been might be willing to pay a lot - if they can. But these aren't exactly easy times, economically speaking. There will be long term fans who won't be able to afford $275 for a ticket, and who wants to sit at the other side of the stadium, too far away to see much? I know I wouldn't. If there's to be a reunion, I'd actually want to be able to see the band, there, on stage, rather than on a screen. And will many casual fans be bothered at that price? I don't know...$275 is a bit steep. In 2012, two tickets, plus admin fees, plus shipping came to just over £100 ($148). Those were seats in the first block, right by the stage. It's quite an increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-GenerationX Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 $275 is rough. You could only charge that the first time.Right now, they can capitalize on the fact that no one ever thought it would happen, and it could be your only shot.If this goes well, and they keep touring, it won't be in stadiums. It will be at arenas at slightly more reasonable prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a farewell run would have equal excitement. Gnr reunion or semi reunion, sells with no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is going to need some charisma on stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PirateRadio Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I hate to say this, but if Axl sounds terrible, it will be absolutely blasted via lots of media/social media outlets. Like never before. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't see how they bury the hatchet after 20 years, write & record music when Axl could only release one album since the breakup. Seems ambitious.....I actually believe in doom and disaster. I believe in no reunion, no interviews, no press and no albums. Nothing!GNR fans for 20 years have gotten no news updates or 'activity' worth getting a hard on for. So why bother. We'll see when it happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) Cancelled Kimmel appearance already. Hope this isn't a sign of things to come.I hope it was a realization by Axl that this is go time, Kimmel would have been premature and he's buckling down! I believe in him!

I could see a couple of interviews with axl but, I can't see him doing too much. Duff and slash have always done the most talking so I'd bet they would do most of the talking..EP? I reckon it'll be a Best Of with a couple of new tracks. Axl had that two-disc best of that had artwork all ready to go, and the label screwed him over and released the Greatest Hits with SotD as a "new" track. Axl's got unfinished business there, and a Best Of album with some extra tracks would be the perfect way to promote Coachella and the tour. I'd imagine they'll be taken from the completed Chinese Democracy II tracks with some Slash and Duff overdubs, since Axl's lyrics seem to be the most time-consuming part of the process. Maybe Atlas Shrugged and The General? Or Jackie Chan?Cancelled Kimmel appearance already. Hope this isn't a sign of things to come.I'm going to cling to the notion that Axl saw the response to that recent picture of him, and realised that he needs to be in shape when he makes his first big public appearance – the story needs to be "Guns N' Roses are back and in top form!" and not "Fat Axl crawls back to his old bandmates."

Judezki Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 If Axl is in shape, nothings gonna be a problemQuoted for fact.I would still like to see some big promotion for this, just a couple of FB or twitter posts aren't enough IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parisrocks Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 I think it's crazy that they posted 2 Las Vegas reunion shows ahead of Coachella w/ no promotion besides the same ol', same ol' social media bullshit.I used to judge how current GN'R could be on the quality of the new music. That practice failed me. Now, I ask my friends who aren't superfans what they know and use them as my barometer. Survey says that no one knows about the Vegas shows and they think all 5 old Guns will be at Coachella. One interview could give everyone the info they need before they pay $2,500 for a VIP ticket.Axl Rose is fucking annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I can't see Izzy not being at these shows. He might just be the Lanegan of GNR but he's got to be there. I hope Steven at least gets a guest spot and can hang out with everyone. And isn't off some where feeling shitty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
