smoking guns Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 We shouldn't call this Guns N Roses etc. it is insulting to Slash and Duff as if this is what they want. THIS IS ALL AXL. NO BLUERAY? Axl. No new music? Axl. No Sorum at all and Adler severely limited and no Izzy, ALL AXL. Slash made the right call in 1996. How can you live like this. Axl has made the biggest band in the world a joke.

Bono Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Just now, Live Like a Suicide said: I agree on many points, however this is probably the doing of the social media team, which is as we know, is one of the worst in existence. It's hard to say how much influence Axl or anyone else directly in the band have over PR efforts. At the end of the day it's on Axl. We all know this. It's typical GnR stuff regardless of who's in the band or who's running the show and the common denominator is Axl Rose. There is no way bands like Metallica or U2 or Pearl Jam or whoever allows such blatant disrespect and misleading of it's fans. Social media team be damned. This is on GUNS N ROSES and at the end of the day that means Axl. Sad but true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the main problem will always be the same: Axl. They had Azoff in their camp and still nothing happened with regard to promotion...because of Axl. The merchandise is probably also the worst in the business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fucking retarded news though, admit it. Anyway, I'll have a lie down anyway because it's bedtime here. Goodnight folks! It is, mate, but it was obvious it wouldn't be new material this soon. Expect nothing from this band and anything else is a bonus is my motto. I do think(hope) we'll get a new record, eventually.... but soon is probably not the word (can't believe I just said that ). You'll feel better in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussTCB Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I saw that the band Live is opening some of the dates. I've never seen them in concert and would LOVE for them to be opening the Detroit show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who's expecting a change in the setlist, or - dare I say it - a NEW SONG? Well, it's only two more days, and one month to go before I see GNR. Can't wait!

Pretty much every major act during a world tour visits major markets more than once. Including Guns N' Roses. Especially on a "reunion" tour, how could they not with the amount of money on the table? They'd be stupid not to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was expecting this announcement to be more tour dates. That's what it is AND they're coming to Detroit, so I'm good. BTW, for anyone wondering; I'm certain I'll throw another pre-party.

MaskingApathy Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 On the other hand I'm happy it's not a co-headlining tour with the who or whoever. That would've been very disappointing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, they just have a bit more impact on Axl and earn a lot more money than other band members. But the fact that there are no interviews with Slash and Duff indicates that they are not allowed to speak for their own. So, they are well paid floor wipes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tourettes2400 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 This is exactly what I knew they were going to do, add more shows. I was just hoping that there would be something else. This is just what being a GNR fan has become. Sales probably weren't going as well for the last leg so their great "team" and Live Nation probably got together to come up with this marketing idea to add some excitement to adding these shows. Oh well, I really wasn't expecting too much. Like @RussTCB said, vote with your wallet if you are unhappy. I will see them if they come to my market, but I won't go any where else. No more stupid Nightrain packages or over priced shit tees from the ir store either. I still love the music but when you look at how bands like Metallica, Pearl Jam, and U2 etc. treat their fans compared to GNR you see a huge difference. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
