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

But still, A Different Kind of Truth was a really good album, especially in comparison with newer releases from other older acts 

[ShadowOfTheWave]

Pretty sure DLR broke his nose in 2015 on the tour supporting Tokyo Dome.

Could we see Guns N' Roses take a page from Prince?

If you saw Prince live in 2004, you received a copy of his "Musicology" CD at the show. It was included in the ticket price. 1.47 million discs were handed out to concertgoers; two million copies were moved overall.

Given the cost of tickets for the forthcoming tour, I think if the band does have an album's worth of material done, why not try doing it this way? It counts as a sale, and would be reflected on the Billboard charts as such. You could see a Guns N' Roses album in the top ten, or even top five, for many months.

Metallica toured constantly then released hardwired during a tour and carried on from there, hopefully Guns will go down the same route

That's true. It was a good album. I'd take a new album and cancelled tour all day long over no new music

Not sure on the year but it was definitely on the Jimmy Kimmel show on Hollywood Boulevard

I think someone once said that waiting for Jesus was a better option, the payoff will be much greater.

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.

May 20th of what year? Lol

And as always, smart money is on BUST.

Even though Izzy hasn't been involved with the semi-reunion tour, do ya'll think if GN'R were serious about releasing another album that Izzy would be wanted by Axl, Slash and Duff and do you think Izzy would join in on the song writing if he were wanted?

If the money was right then I don’t see why not. I’m probably just thinking too optimistically, tho.

[El Guapo]

It wouldn't be the same. None of them wants it for the music's sake. It's too late.

I was just having a conversation with my friend who was asking me why I gave up on music as a career, and I told him it was cause all of the criticism my albums got for being “too lo-fi” really took the wind out of my sails.

And the moment I said that to him, I immediately thought to myself “ah shit, no wonder Axl gave up. All of the criticism ChiDem got must’ve broken him.”

Tommy said he wished Axl didn't care so much. Personally I think Axl didn't change much as a musician. He's still doing what he wants. If we don't look at it from a fan's perspective it's still possible this tour is a priority right now and when it's really over maybe it will be easier to see what's coming next

yea, 70% of this forum are not musicians... no wonder why they are surprised there is no new album

Personally I'd say fuck 'em. If you think you've got something, just keep doing it.

But then he seemed so rational and chilled when talking about the CD reception in the chats ('some was a bloodbath some was ok'). And apart from the couple rants at members he was totally chilled throughout the chats despite reading a huge amount of personal abuse inbetween the Q's he answered. He even finished by saying he'd be up for doing it again as long as people didn't get too personal.

I think Axl is more rational. Slash and Duff are back in Gn'R, why not take advantage of that, make as much money as possible and have fun and go play with Angus and only then put together an album?

another victory lap before dealing with something that could be too significant to not see it as difficult so maybe Axl prefers to focus on just one thing at a time and hasn't lost his fire completely.

[rebeldhipi]

personally i find the Tokyo 1992 dvd to be amazing. It made a hardcore fan.

Now knowing the tour better, i still think its one of the greatest shows of the whole tour. Setlist and performance wise 5/5

I always really liked them.  I prefer listening to the audio as I had bootlegs of it though.  Even back then I thought Axl looked very cheesy with his biker shorts combinations with blazers, the leather coats, cowboy hats and belly shirts and made it tough to take serious at times.

I wish he would focus on his vocals. The "better" performance at miami was atrocious.

Better really was horrific. Either change the song (tuning/different register) or drop it. Your Crazy was great tho.
