vloors Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 (edited) Not in This Lifetime reunion tour with Slash and Duff McKagan continues to produce incredible figures in testimony of GNR's rarified place in rock and roll history. The tour has made a little over 140 stops at arenas, stadiums and festivals around the world since kicking off in 2016. All those shows mean GNR has performed for some 5 million people over the last two years, reports Live Nation. Earlier this summer, Guns N' Roses broke Metallica's record for concert attendance in Sweden and became the most-viewed band on YouTube to come out of the '80s or '90s. The tour is coming to an end this December as the band takes its bows in cities in Asia and the Pacific. After that, everybody but Slash will take a vacation, then the band is expected to consider putting some new music together. GNR's most recent release was the Locked N' Loaded special edition box set to celebrate the 30th anniversary of its groundbreaking debut album, Appetite for Destruction, which rocketed back into the top 10 on the album charts this past summer. The band's last new music release was 2008's Chinese Democracy, or what Slash has referred to as "Axl's album." https://www.iheart.com/content/2018-11-06-guns-n-roses-has-performed-for-more-than-5-million-fans-on-current-tour/ Edited November 7, 2018 by vloors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UsedYourIllusion Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Does anyone have a decent guess on the UYI tour numbers? I've heard between 6 1/2 million-nearly 8 million Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnfnrs1972 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I've got a good idea. Let's wait five years to put out an album when nobody gives a damn. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see them touring for another three years after they release a new album, that would have to be released in the next 12-18 months.

There's very few that Tako has not been to. Margot hasn't been to nearly as many as Tako (I think Margot is around 60+ shows total in general? I forget) Hawaii will be my 35th show since 2011. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Towelie Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 (edited) All the stats and numbers mean jack when you sing like shit. This just means 5mil people have been mugged off by Axl. I saw Guns in 2010 and 2012, when he could actually sing and had new material to promote. I haven't seen any of the NITL shows and have no interest in seeing Axl Rose screech like a tone deaf geriatric through the GNR catalogue.

Lol not to be nit picky, but as a guy who works with numbers every day of his life I hate articles like this. They assume every seat filled is by a unique person who has not attended nor has plans to attend any other show. These kinds of articles are written by Communications majors!

You haven't been to a show in 2018. I went nottingham '12 and it wasn't any better than Bordeaux '18. It was better than Donington, which again, was at the start of a leg.

Sorry but your opinion doesn't mean shit when you even refused to attend to a gig. The Hanover concert in 2017 was probably the best gig I ever saw regardless of peoples opinion on Axl's voice who judge while watching periscope or lame youtube videos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yes, I forgot Axl sounds magically different in person and the Youtube videos lie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
