Sunset Boulevard Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 (edited) Serious question... Guns N' Roses have already broken the 500M$ mark yet and is already in the TOP 5 tour ever, could they possibly reach the 1 billion mark? Is it their "secret goal"? I think they could (and will) make it! Edited November 11, 2017 by Sunset Boulevard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scooby845 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Absolutely... After this end in november it's gonna amount to close to 600mill. With second Europe leg which is 110% guaranteed, they have high chances on over taking u2. After that the road to 1bill is easier cause media coverage is gonna kick in...

GNRfanMILO Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Lol no... GN’R dies after this NA leg at the end of the year. New SMKC album + tour is coming early 2018 and Axl is expected to re-join ACDC. They will reach the 600M mark, but no more 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gackt Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 U2's likely making the most bank currently on their Joshua Tree tour, gross income doesn't mean much when there's so many musicians, staff and expenses to be paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonok Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 They could if they continue the tour for another 2-3 years, but then again, people will just stop attending the shows if there's no sense of novelty. The only way they can continue to sell out stadiums in places they've already went to is to release a new album before that. Or at least a couple of new songs.

Tom2112 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Who here actually cares about this? I know I don't, not even a little. Good for gnr if they do, they'd have successfully made a boat load of cash, but for the fans? It makes no difference whatsoever. Much rather they took a breather after NA and came back around with either a fresh tour or a new record cycle. The idea of seeing them come back around with that same set, doesn't excite me one bit; the lure of Slash, Duff and Axl together has worn off (it was barely there in the beginning tbh). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been in AXL/DC shows and I can say he's way more excited being there than GN'R. plus chances of a new ACDC album with Axl are much higher than GNR.

And also much easier to do than a GN'R album because Axl would only be responsible for the lyrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoot Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Ok this might be a stupid question so sorry in advance but, How do they calculate these numbers? Does it go from Jan. 2017 to December 2017? Or do they go by the tour name? So if GNR continues to tour under the NITL name for another 5 years does that count as the same tour? Seems a little unfair if that's how it's done. Especially considering most artist tour, take a break to record and release new music and then start a new tour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWINGTRADER Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Goes to show the power of Slash. Even with Mickey Rose they are doing those numbers. Imagine if Axl had a voice and it was a full reunion. Imagine had they done interviews and TV appearances. It would have been even bigger. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know... just speculating here It's calculated for 74 shows which would put that half way threw the Europe shows. At the end of the last leg of the American tour we have had 99 shows plus the troubadour and apollo shows (I don't count those as they wouldn't have any effect on grosses). So that would be 25 shows not counted yet. Say rough estimate is 4 mill a show gross would equal an additional 100 mill.

This thread is about the possibility of GN'R having the highest grossing tour by the time they wrap up. Your post has nothing to do with what we're discussing. Gross doesn't mean much? It means a lot when we're discussing specifically the highest grossing tours not the most profitable tours, which is a pointless thing to discuss since they aren't publishing that data, it's private. You don't know which band is more profitable than the next. Edited October 1, 2017 by Tonto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't seem feasible to gross 4 million on a lot of those added US dates. A few did well but a lot didn't and they discounted heavily in places so suspect the average price will be down. I would take these figures with a pinch of salt anyway to be honest with you, there is nothing to say they are accurate. They can say they grossed whatever they like, report every ticket as paid for at full price and so on. You've only got to look at how they report sell outs for most shows they all but gave tickets away for like Adelaide, Sydney 2 etc. Sydney ANZ Taylor Swift drew 76k for 1 show and GNR did 2 and drew 84k and they're sell outs?

Weren't the rumours first time round they got $3M and costs ran at a mil a show ? There was an in depth article on Billboard about it somewhere. They then get overage pay over a certain gross There isn't a cat in hells chance they are puling that this time around unless LN became a charity recently! They were damn generous first time around and barely made a profit from one Billboard article breakdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
default_ Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 (edited) Can we really expect a second european leg? I hope they shut this tour after the next NA leg and focus on something productive asap, its getting boring. They've already made more money than they can expend to the rest of their lives lol Edited October 1, 2017 by default_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlRoseCDII Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 (edited) Debatably the same GN'R tour has been going on since 2001...we may as well start counting the revenue from then. It's not like any GN'R tour is drastically different from the last. Edited October 1, 2017 by AxlRoseCDII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
