Popular Post default_ Posted May 18, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted May 18, 2017 It is a radio station thing, did it ever cross your heads it might be, you know, a song? I cant see why would they be recurring to radio if it was anything like more tour dates as they could just put it online. They could put a song online too, but they're on a nostalgia/revival thing, so maybe they want their new song to be released the way it was back then. Just imagine, a funky sleazy hard rock n roll Slash/Axl song playing on radios worldwide. That'd be fuckin epic. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlight Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 AFD5 . At some point they must give Izzy his spot back in the band, or will they leave him out forever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there....and I was simultaneously jumping up and down, screaming "it's Steven, Steven fucking Adler", shedding a tear of joy for him, the band and all the fans who got to see something that hadn't happened since 1990 and punching my friend next to me in the arm over-zealously out of a pure adrenaline rush. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I recorded the audio this time) I note that the guy says about the announcement: "gee I wonder what it could be? Take a guess." The 'gee I wonder' sentence sounds almost sarcastic to me, as in it should be obvious what the announcement is. Or maybe thats just radio host voice and phrasing? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bulk of the setlist has to be the same. But yeah, a few suprises here and there would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Nova Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) Best guess it's to announce California shows - LA/San Diego. Could possibly be to announce those shows as being the start of some sort of AFD reunion for those dates plus the remainder of the US tour dates. (Which from a marketing perspective would be genius...since the balance of US tour dates ticket sales have been somewhat average). And that could have been the reason Fernando met with Live Nation - to figure out a solution to get ticket sales going/ to come to a modified agreement that includes both Adler and Izzy on the remaining US tour dates. And obviously if that's the case, look for near instant sellouts of the remaining dates after it's announced. Of course, this could be me just dreaming but would be awesome if true.

I doubt the slower sales of already announced shows is a major concern. They've already made upwards of $230M and the European leg has sold a tremendous amount of tickets. Even if the second US leg only sells half of each stadium (which it won't, the numbers will be better than that) it's still a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm sure they will do fine either way from the band's perspective - they are probably guaranteed a certain amount per show regardless....but from a promoters perspective (Live Nation in this case) they will want to sell as many tickets as possible, even add dates when possible....so that's what makes Fernando's meeting with Live Nation interesting.

We've seen they post the tour dates in their official website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see something along these lines although as much as I'd enjoy an AFD reunion I'd be a bit pissed on behalf of myself and Europe if they announced Izzy and Steven for the US dates then showed up in Europe with the current set up. If the US dates were the beginning of a new AFD 5 cycle then I'd have to wait another 18 months again to see all 5. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
