Lortus, seriously, STFU I wish I could vote for Nightrain too. And OTGM. And every other song to be honest. What's not to love in that album? One thing I don't love about AFD - the chorus melody in My Michelle - don't care for it much - it's not bad but... not particularly good either. On the other hand.. if I compare it to chorus melody in Better - it's better than Better's .. (chorus melody in Better in fucking annoying - it ruins the whole song for me) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I know what you're saying and truth is that they're using their trade mark logo of this tour and line-up on the background - #gnfnr - so they're not like fooling us completely My problem is with them celebrating this at all and not in the right way. I can already see one insta post the next day: 'AFDZZ 30th #anniversary was #dope. So thankful for being part of this madness. #TY Axlzzz for making me part of this. #gratitude #fam #tourlife'. It makes me mad. But this may or may not be PMS talking to be honest 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoot Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Guys... I'm freaking out, somebody smack some sense into me, please? Why this much advertising if it's not AFD5? I hate this band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annabanana Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I don't understand the way their management/or works. Why the secrecy? And why this event for the anniversary where most of the fans won't be able to go? If it's afd5 why not announce it sooner and have it in a place where a lot of fans can attend. If it's the current line-up why not just say so, it's like they are teasing that it's gonna be the original 5. Haven't they even thought of the disappointment and fallout that could happen? Its just weird 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why advertise on time square - probably the most expensive advertisement you can buy - for a show nobody can get into?? ---- Btw, Whatever happened to that YUGE yellow billboard in LA?

And if it leads to nothing they might totally alienate some or a lot. And you're right, why advertise it on a well known area when they are not even selling tickets? Is the new leg of the tour selling well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes me mad. But this may or may not be PMS talking to be honest The GnFnR has been around forever too though, I have an ancient AFD hoodie and it has the cross on the front with the red GnFnR on it. People kept trying to buy it off me because they stopped making them with the red writing on the back. @Kris_1989 The yellow board is still there and I saw a pic a week or so ago that hey have put a couple of tour dates on it. I just assumed for the LA arena shows coming up. Edited July 18, 2017 by MillionsOfSpiders 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just weird I don't think there's a logic behind it. They just suck at being a management and a PR team. With there being no real fans, not the original line up, no live stream, no nothing - it just doesn't make sense at all and has nothing to do with either the origins of the band nor the money making big international fuzz thing they tend to be into nowadays. It's just a small audience of no fans, watching smurfette, Lortus and the bearded one on stage, keeping it all to themselves. 32 minutes ago, Darkenchantress said: Have you guys seen this?

Some new Izzy fix for me. Great performance from Izzy! Really cool, love his voice and lazy way of singing. Did I tell you I dig Izzy's laid back style? Just pants and a tshirt. And his adidas samba sneakers... (got the same sneakers). Nobody can look so fine as Izzy does with only some black pants, a plain shirt, adidas sneakers and this hat on. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMA515 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 It seems clear to me that the apollo show is the only thing theyre doing for Afd 30 and without steven of izzy involved at all....well maybe they will let poor steven come out and play one song same as before....but thats it.....nothing new or special.....just a private show for a bunch of VIPs....music industry insiders and friends of he band....and to add insult to injury...they are doing the show in NYC rather than homebase LA where it all started ....as it should be.....its all so lame and insulting its just beyond belief.....oh well.....i guess that shows u where there heads are at.....such bullshit.....i hope i am wrong about this....but I really don't think so....given how they.ve been regarding Steven and Izzy this whole tour.....why change now.....???.https://www.tenor.co/GvIi.gif 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's Gn'R for you. Even though the classic lineup at the Apollo would be a dream come true for many, doing it this way would be all wrong: no real fans there,(or only few of them) bunch of big shots and celeb-posers, no proper video footage from there etc. If they did it that way, it would just be the final proof that they don't give a flying fuck about their fans.

MillionsOfSpiders Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) I don't buy "it's the promoters.. it's the bands clueless management" on this one. This one is on the three in my opinion. None of this advertising an AFD 30th show with the logo or the show itslef would be happening without them behind it all.
