As of now, it seems that we'll get the big shows in SA this fall, Australia/Asia in January - March, Europe/ UK in the Summer. If they come back to North America with this tour, we're probably going to get cities like this in the fall. ARENAS: Canada: Montreal, Calgary, Vancouver US: Portland, Sacramento, Los Angeles (Staples Center this time), Salt Lake City, Denver, San Antonio or Austin, St. Louis (big media deal will be made of this), Miami, Charlotte, Birmingham, Cleveland, Indianapolis, and Louisville This is exactly my feeling, too. There is alot of untapped "arena level" cities left off this current leg of the tour. My own city, (Columbus, Ohio) for example. I'm pretty sure they could damn near sell out Nationwide Arena or Schottenstein Center easily. I'm guessing they will return Stateside in the future just as they did on the UYI tour. I also feel like this is when we will probably see a big shakeup in the setlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sold out in Orlando in a stadium and Miami/Ft. Lauderdale Metro is at least as big as Orlando/Tampa. Miami has a ton of South American immigrants so I would think that would add demand also based on the crowds they draw in South America. Also, Joe Robbie Stadium (now renovated and yet to be renamed again) was the first stadium in North America that GNR ever headlined in (as far as I can tell). I would imagine that had the stadium not been under construction, it would have been a date this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heff Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 As long as there is a European tour with UK dates I'm not too bothered what they do after! Endless touring without a new album would become boring very quickly. I don't want to see Axl singing Appetite songs with a Zimmer frame it would just be wrong!

Tiffani Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I am so hoping another North American tour will be in the cards for sometime in 2018. I'm putting my faith in all of you who say another tour of the states will happen. I have just got to see them live again. It is a must! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom-Ass Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Well maybe they can squeak in a residency to celebrate Appetite in 2017 with the AFD line up.. Not likely but would be incredible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine tickets will be significantly more expensive than they were for the stadium dates if the band will demand even half the per show fee. An arena can't fit even 1/3 the crowd as a stadium unless they set up a "theater in the round" stage which I don't think would fit GNR (or any rock band).

The prices this tour were way over market value and I think the promoters realized it. They got their big payday and I don't think as many people will be willing to pay the big bucks the second time around. I am guessing they won't be cheap but I do expect to see some time of adjustment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even at the same avg price that they have gotten for this tour, the band would have to be willing to "only" take $1 million per show. Assuming the $3 million per show rumors are true for the stadium leg, if the arenas only hold 1/3 of the people, that would be $1 million per show at these avg prices. I think the promoters know if the tickets were 1/2 price they would have sold out every date. But, since even the "bad attendance" shows were around half full, they would have lost revenue for the tour by doing that. Hopefully the band is enjoying touring and will be willing to do an arena leg for significantly less per night. Then they can sell out arenas and sell out 2 or 3 nights in the bigger markets.

GNFR Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 New album. I'm damn glad Slash and Duff are back, unbelieveably so, but to get back together, tour and such and NOT do an album after all these years would be a massive disappointment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colossus of Rhodes Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Prior to TSI Guns were always the band that went one step ahead of their fans. Surely as individuals they lived for a day, but as a band they were very strategic (kind of strange). So since the same men are running the show again (Axl, Slash and Duff) it's happening, new material, as we speak. By the time we got to hear it, they'll be into something else. As for an album, they'll probably print something for the fans (and there is that Towerd Records nostalgia thing), but I guess they'll be releasing numbers one at the time (via iTunes or whatever).

Zint Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Slash and Duff secure their kids' university funding while arranging retirement investments. Axl goes back to nuGnR with the reunion monkey off his back and a renewed yet unsustainable fan interest in another Joe Shmoe line up thanks to nufan interest from the tour(s). Izzy stays cool. Cue the hologram tour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apollo Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Release all the remaining songs from the vault as a Box Set just in time for Christmas . All the CD session songs (General, Soulmonster, Atlas, etc), the remixes (Better, This I love, etc) and the updates (Oh My God, Silkworms, etc). Or release them on Itunes for a dollar a song. Use the profits to give the old/new guys a nice big final going away paycheck. Plus the FANS get an amazing Christmas gift. I would pay $100 for that box set or to get all those songs. Hit the recording studio with Slash/Duff and Izzy in January and write/record a new album. Classic line-up - Axl/Slash/Duff/Izzy/Adler (bring Sorum along for guest spots and to give Adler a break) start a world tour in the summer of 2017 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Appetite. New album is released for the tour. It seems so simple. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do it for four years and release a double album (24 songs) or one album of the best 12. Or split it up into one two-year singles stretch and do it again a few years down the road. Then re-release a greatest hits double album, one not contested legally by Axl and Slash and with their input, and call it a day. Heck, even Steven Pearcy has gone that route. I think he's released 4-5 songs that way over the last year. And the audience for his music is about 1% of what the audience for Axl Rose music would be!!! On a side note, and not to derail the thread, but it is interesting to look at Pearcy's career compared to Axl. And yes, before Axl die-hards have a cow, Axl is 100 times the singer/artist that Pearcy is or ever was. That's not the point. Just comparing their productivity is an interesting look. Pearcy left his band Ratt in 1992. He quickly released an albums in 1993 and 1994 under his new band. Between 1993 and 2008 (when Axl released CD) Pearcy released nine studio albums. Plus a 10th in 2010. Then released various singles on Itunes over the past year, and has an album scheduled for the end of 2016 or start of 2017. Yes, to be clear so people don't miss the point, Axl is a top 5 rock singer of all time and Pearcy/Ratt were never as good or relevant as GnR. But it is fascinating that Pearcy has released 10 studio albums in the same time frame that Axl has only been able to release one. Can you imagine what it would be like to sit back today, turn on your Ipod, and have a choice of 16 Axl Rose albums to listen to instead of just six. To have 130 more Axl/GnR songs to listen to than what you have to enjoy now. How glorious would that be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janrichmond Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 If Axl had released loads of albums perhaps CD would not stand out as a failure? maybe? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
