Not that I doubt it sold only 4K, but where are those number confirmed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, the single would be released in a Fortinite event. Star Wars did that recently, actually! They had Palpatine’s return announcement built into Fortnite! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another example of how tone deaf GNR and its managers are with respect to what the fans really want. Ozzy just released a great vinyl box set with all his albums (minus Speak of the Devil). £500...no crap clutter in it to bulk it out and has a hand signed signature.....I am delighted wi mines, maybe worth a hundred less but I was happy to pay for it as it had exactly what I wanted from an expensive box set...music and a signature. Every time I look at the GnR box set I wonder what the point in all that clutter is....even the CDs are a load of clutter imo. As for the rings etc, well I can't see many 12 year olds buying that set and who else is gonna want that shit. Now if they realesed a vinyl set with all the L N' L content plus albums after that and other rarities and no stupid rings and picks then I think that would sell much better. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I own that Ozzy set and I totally agree. My only gripe was that I thought the LPs should have been in poly lined sleeves for the price of the set, but that's more of a collector / vinyl geek complaint than anything. Other than that, the Ozzy set is about 100x better value than the GN'R set, even with the GN'R set being sub $500 now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with that, 1994 should've been the release of the Perfect Crime Documentary & a Use Your Illusion live album similar to the 1992 AC/DC live album. 2000 or at most 2006 should've been the release of CD, 2010 CD II with bonus remix tracks. 2016 reunion obviously, 2017 AFD Boxset w/ live album from that era, 2018 new album.

Have the sales been bad? Crikey - no surprise really. Maybe if they had a product to sell then....people may want to hear that product live as opposed to the same setlist they heard last time.....they really do need to get something out ahead of the tour of the sales are as bad as you say.

It would be great if the poor ticket sales forced them to make an announcement sooner than they had (maybe) planned. May 20th or bust! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowOfTheWave Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I remember Van Halen's reunion album was announced around new years 2012 and released in the middle of February, so if an album is meant to coincide with the tour (LOL, I know) we could not hear about it until the beginning of April.

rocknroll41 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 GnR should just write a political album, since politics seem to be the only thing that Axl is passionate about these days anyways. id take an album with ten Civil Wars. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowOfTheWave Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Even Team Brazil couldn't screw up having an album announced by the time the tour literally began. So for me, it's May 20 or bust. This is as optimistic as you can humanly be in this situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there's your first mistake At this point, I truly don't believe an album is coming before the tour. The only way I could see it happening is if it was a surprise release. In order for it to be successful, there would need to be a media blitz during the week after too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patiently waiting on Alan Niven's input on this... Ex GN'R manager has a theory... Imho one of the more entertaining aspects of following this band are the ex managers.

Yikes and look how that went for Van Halen. DLR breaking his own nose in their first live song wasn't a good omen. GNR can do better than that... Come on Axl don't break your own nose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
