History2010 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 GNR can do stadiums in these markets just fine, The Who can't. What I am saying about them needing GNR to draw enough people is simply true. I am not ragging on the band or talking bad about their legacy or music. I'm simply commenting on this situation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Jay Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Axl might want to bring The Who on their first stadium South American tour, the first and probably the last time, while he buries the hatchet with Daltrey who called ac/dc with Axl "Karaoke". Meanwhile, the band doesn't seem to want to stop playing. We shall see what their next move is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Len Cnut Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 When there's money in it no one cares. And also, often, a lot of what is said in terms of the opinings of certain forthright people (and I'm not saying this is necessarily the case with Rog' Daltrey) is a little insubstantial or said in jest with not a lot of vicious intent. Noel Gallagher is a perfect example, you can find quotes of him most likely slagging off just about anybody you can think of in some way but i don't think all of it is a declaration of war, it's a regional thing and like...I'm not sure if taking the mickey exists in every culture across the world so it all comes off as a bit coarse but i don't think it's the same as having serious issues with said person in every instance. The fact is its a small industry and all these guys know each other or end up knowing each other on some level and more of em get along than you'd think. I mean John Lydon is mates with the lads in Pink Floyd, now who would've thunk that? Also, a lot of the times people are slagged off and its the music that's being spoken about and often nothing personal. Like Pete Townshend slagging on Led Zeppelin on the instances that he has, he's on record as saying 'its a problem for me because i quite like them as guys, i just don't think a lot of their music'. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovim Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 (edited) Roger is such a sellout. I'm very disappointed. What about integrity? he should talk more shit about Axl and perhaps design a Swatch. Edited May 9, 2017 by Rovim 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Honestly this is the first time I wanted to see this tour, outside the first few shows which I couldn't financial swing. South America I never traversed. I like cinzano and hookers as much as the next guy so it's like my destiny. The Who are are like a 4th wave band for more me. I never got the musicality of those songs. Then of course the 3 Amigos are or must be rocking by now. The problem or dilemma I see is that Guns always had this controversy, and you can say it was all about the music, but the vibe was there to really fuel it, but now the "these days it's all about the tour" just doesn't get me hard. I respect they are old and know better, and I'm sure Axl knows where he's at but with no real vocalized intent it's a suspense movie. That's what I'm getting, it's building, I'm waiting.

It's like the album is third base and they've only started to fondle each other. What keeps me optimistic is knowing Axl was in the studio with the intent of releasing CD ll and then Tommy and Bumble left. I think Axl's plan was always to tour in order to live large. Like Tommy said, 5 tours planned. CD ll was supposed to come out but Slash and Duff in Guns from an artistic perspective does require additional inspection. And it takes him a long time. The nostalgia/demand is there, an old band selling their real product which is live memories. But you know the art isn't gone. Casual service, brutally boring for many long time fans. Phase 1.

I mean if you're diehard AC/DC fan and have a problem with replacing Brian I can understand. But strictly show wise, AXL/DC was fire. Just great. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 5 tours theory. Well possibly 2 tours to set up a release. 1 tour specifically for the album. 2 to establish the material. I appreciate what Axl did for the fans, he could have just disappeared, but eventually we will get Axl's next statement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those were comments Daltrey had made before Axl performed with AC/DC. He never said anything after he started performing with them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course he does! He's the one who brought The Zika to the setlist and he's the one who keeps it. He's got a strange love for people who consider him a joke. It is weird. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
