Live Like a Suicide Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) We have known if Coachella for a couple weeks. When is the real info coming?This roll out has been a fucking joke. A shared Coachella pic? Give me a fucking break. Should have hired Gibbo27 to make a badass trailer announcing the reunion. Would be much better than this horse shit.Apparently there is meant to be more info coming today, but yeah, they've really screwed the announcement.If i were in charge, i would have sent press kits out to the media, scheduled some interviews/conferences, released a clear guide on what is happening (band lineup, general info etc) and put out a track or two and some band photos. This reunion would have been in the works for a while, so they should have had their shit sorted. I guess i shouldn't have expected anything more though.

ralebava Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I think Axl finally understood the importance of be in shape to this new chapter of GNR... He has time to get in shape, four months untill the date of the first show on april...He finally understood that the crowd dont want to see him out of shape on kimmel, and that the fans expect his best effort...Thats MY OPINION....

Opportunity blown. The buzz for this is significant, but it should have been BIGGER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There HAS to be something before now and April, especially if a tour is going to go on sale?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colonizedmind Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) Surely, all they need to do is update the official website with a press release, how difficult is that? Instead they just have the crowd trailer and the dates in the event section! What's stopping a proper press release? It must be on the way, surely! If not coming on Kimmel, surely some other form...The offers of magazine covers, shows etc must be coming thick and fast at the moment!

wasted Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Wait, is VR Matt's band? If so if Axl is taking Dave K as the third guitarist that kind of ruins VR? Columbo ain't shit. Burritos n cheese day!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dario27 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 According to a spokesperson for Jimmy Kimmel live the reason Axl will not be attending is due to unforeseen circumstances oh, then is justified...Where did I say that?It's obviously a shit fight right now but I'm not going to let it get to me considering the other news we've had todayHeyyyy wow, calm down man, i was pointing out how vague, "unforseen circumstances" sounded, that's all.

yesfan18 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 The whole thing is incredible. Slash and Axl on the same stage again after two decades. The whole Kimmel thing seems to be strange. Rolling Stome reported it orginally. Then Axl sister confirmed it on Facebook and immediately took down the post that same day. Then when Kimmel guest for the week came out on Saturday he was not orginally on there. Then randomly Monday morning his name appears, then that same day it is taken down and people are reporting he will not attend. When Kimmel confirms he won't be on, it seems like he was just fooling around. He even says at the end maybe he will surprise is. Also on the schedule for tonight his name is still there. It might take awhile to update, but I don't think that long. You never know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe amatuerish the GNR PR is - especially for something like this. I imagine it's Axl's preference to not have an unknown agency in the inner circle of trust - but to not professionally capitalise on this is so odd. Just doesn't seem cohesive enough for the momentous occasion. Sure, the message won't need that much pushing given the context, but the whole announcement is half cocked. Imagine a recent pic of Axl, Slash and Duff...think how shareable that is? It would trend straight away. But no, just the festival lineup. Coachella must have paid top whack and demanded they were front and centre. But even then it's not great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never knowYeah, this was all fun back when he was 30 and he did other things.Nowadays, its absolutely maddening and one of the things I hate most about him.Of course my hate will turn to joy when I see him put his arm around Slash at Coachella, but still I so wish Axl would cut the shit.

jthunders13 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 It's really weird. Also if you look at Google Trends, interest doesn't seen to be much higher then when the band started touring again in 2010-2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axlr0s37 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Really wanted to stay up for Kimmel just incase (uk based) but after the big announcement being the nightrain tickets I am tempted to give in haha! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It truly isn't the reunion everyone wanted or else my dad who doesn't care about GNR would be talking about it. Its a hybrid, which made it nearly as niche as NuGuns. Its not the worldwide news it could be. You're lying if you say otherwise. Cause we'd know if it was the reunion everyone wanted.Its kind of sad to say that outloud. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
