RussTCB Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 3 minutes ago, The Holographic Universe said: I didn’t take it as smart ass. Your statement was factual. I’m curious what other issues you had with the L&L box set, though. I think no live AudiI or video really made that box set weak. Additionally, it appears the band had zero involvement in the box set. That box set should have been a labor of love . There's a lot to name, but I don't want to derail the thread too much. The short version is that there's a million different things that should've been included to add value as opposed to things no one wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allwaystired Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, GNR_RNR said: Nah most acts require top notch social media presence both during and outside of touring cycles and album era's. Just as the ways people consume music change the ways they 'interact' with the artists themselves has changed. It is true that legacy acts like GNR don't really need to release anything. As far as I see it only one of these issues leaves GNR lagging behind the competition. Any new music will become the new 'piss break' for the vast majority of the crowd while the lacklustre fan to band interaction will damage ticket sales far more. Ah ok.... I was referring to them as individuals rather than the 'GNR product' here. I see that every product has to have a social media presence now of course. It's the personal interaction and other such nonsense I feel is totally unnecessary with band members. I honestly couldn't care less about the ins and outs of musicians daily lives. As for the other point.....well, saying that some people may not like it really is clutching at straws as a reason for not doing anything new. I think the piss-poor sales for the new legs of the tour have very little to do with Axl not instagramming pictures of plane wings and coffee cups every few minutes......

Popular Post Underhardy Posted April 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 21, 2020 Dude, I try to give TB the benefit of the doubt some of the time. But fuck that. Even the hired guns with the usual, “Were hitting the studio, I think maybe next year,” new album bullshit lies. What’s stopping these fuckers from just being honest. “We’re not putting any attention towards new music right now. We’re just loving playing these songs and having a good time every night on stage.” Why could that not be the answer from 2011-on? and the worst of all. Fernando. Imagine knowingly lying to all of the clamoring fans, that he is very in touch with, and just going on and on with it. Just be straight up. For once. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She literally brings us some of the best backstage content. I'm down with that.

SAU3R Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 (edited) This whole thing is just unbelievable.. They've been teasing us for years with by saying a new album is gonna come, but keep finding excuses for it.. Then Fernando says it's gonna happen in the next 6 months, finally it seems like it's happening, they ran out of excuses and Fernando would look like a tool if nothing came out.. But then the fucking virus happened and suddenly they have an excuse for not releasing anything again This only happens in GNR world Edited April 21, 2020 by SAU3R 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweersa Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 (edited) Wouldn't it be cool if the entire (rumored to be turned in) 2010 album leaked? That would hold us over for a while, and probably accelerate an official release. I'm sure it's out there, in some form.

Fernando gives a decent summary of the current state of affairs and the response is the same tired "Release muh Illusions pro-shots, brand new album now!!". I think people just have to be realistic in what can be released at the moment. From the update we can say no album was expected to be released right now. So anyone saying they should just drop the album has to understand that there is currently no 100% finished album waiting to drop. A quick summary of realistic things that could be done. 1. Update on tour via a video posted to all social media accounts from one of Axl, Slash or Duff. 2. Release any available live content from the NITL tour. 3. Record an acoustic version of Patience in the same way rolling stone's did. 4. Cover contest of Patience on social media More unlikely things that would be nice 1. Talks from Axl, Slash or Duff about the NITL tour and what they've enjoyed during it. 2. Guitar/Bass lessons from Slash/Duff (See Brian May's ). Also would like to see some pics/vids from the big three as we've not really had anything from them saying the usual "we're all good, remember to stay indoors" that most are doing. Would genuinely like to hear good ideas from people as to what they should do with social media, as GNR have never really embraced it all that well. I think people just don't believe him because any time he says anything it's just hot air and nothing ever comes of it. If this band actually had press releases and stuff like that instead of their "manager" posting on reddit then maybe people wouldn't call bullshit.
