People paying $1k-$2k per ticket aren't interested in new material (unless they have another massive hit in them). But as a whole, new material would certainly bring out a lot more people who saw them in '16 and '17 and want to hear what a new Guns N' Roses album would sound like. I don't have any doubts about that. I don't see the needle moving any higher than that stadium tour they just did. New music wouldn't make a difference.

They get their payment for the show and the rest is sponsor's duties. So, basically it's not Fernando or Axl who says "let's put sky rocket price here and extremely low here" Well, to a certain extent. You're right that generally artists these days negotiate upfront performance payment(s) and the promoter recoups through ticket sales. But artists aren't dumb. They know their upfront fee will reflect the price of tickets. A $1 million pay day will require a much lower ticket price than a $5 million pay day. So while you're technically right that the artist isn't in charge of ticket prices, it's not as though they don't have a hand it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's too bad, because though the ticket prices were high for those shows, Axl's vocals were better at both shows than they had been earlier that year. Not Axl/DC caliber, but definitely way better than he was averaging that year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren't responsible for shit. If you have a problem with Axl then direct it to him. Don't ever try and blame the fans. Absolutely ridiculous. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it will be promoted as homecoming show and/or last show of the NITL Tour. Cheapest ticket will be 5k $. Deluxe ticket will be 25k$. You will be allowed to clean the bathrooms GNR used after the show (no photos allowed though). 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If all of us would have stopped supporting him financially (buying his albums, tickets and merchandise), he would have had to make some changes. But probably he would have just stopped then.

Axl and GN'R are giving us a service (a live performance), we are paying them for the service and thats it. Everything else is out of our control. So blaming ourselves for anything Axl does is pointless and self-destructive. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamsapple Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 That place in Vegas is where Elton John and Celine Dion had their residencies, right? Looks like a nice venue, but rather small for the GNR production. Maybe that's where the high prices come from? I think it's great they are active and playing concerts, but it sucks that there is no new music yet. I hope they at least gonna test the waters for a new song or two during these shows.

What do you think would happen with their service if none of us would take it?? They would have to change the service they offer or stop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is assuming Axl would release material instead of just chilling with his constant royalties in his mansion living the life. The ones who want to see a live concert for a good time are not the ones to blame here - it is just a rock band there is nothing so serious to be dramatic enough to boycott IMO.

It’s odd Izzy is so butt hurt over the cash distribution. He would show up for nu-Guns, play weddings but won’t take the stage with the reunion.
