As long as promoters are willing to fork over their fee, they don’t have to do anything. I don’t think an album moves the needle to jump from an arena to a stadium regardless. At best you get more VIP upgrades/charge more from the hardcore fanbase...which is worth something, but not to the extent that everyone thinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't be bothered to give an iota of a fuck what the hardcore fans think about new music. It's a chore Axl's been putting off for a decade. If anything, all the dough they've been making the last four years puts it even further on the back burner. It's fucking sad from a fan's perspective, but it's becoming more and more clear that's just how it is. To be fair - @HollyWoodRose84 has stated it’s actually done. If that’s the case then there was/is clearly intent to release it. WHEN appears to be the issue. When Live Nation pulls the deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadApples87 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 (edited) Larger than Life - WTF? Is backstreet boy the opening act lol. I'm surprised they are taking on another N. American stadium tour without a co-headliner or something. Crue/Def Lep/Poison/Joan Jett is a solid lineup and more bang for buck than GNR stand-alone. I think I'm gonna sit this one out, and wait for them to do the amphitheater circuit in a year or two. I saw them twice on NITL, including GA Pit, so I am good for now.

grogmug Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Any idea if the album is just the Chinese leftovers with a mix of newly recorded material? I figured this was what we would get, but I don't want the Chinese sessions material going to waste.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To say it’s 100 percent nostalgia isn’t exactly true. They want to do both, but right now they have the ability to cash in big time. Both can exist, but one clearly has priority Having it make financial sense for everyone involved might be an issue. The label isn’t going to release something and take a loss. GNR isn’t going to release something with it born to fail/or at their expense. A tour tie in is nice, but does that make UMG comfortable to move units? Who knows. They know their numbers. Same with Guns. Do they really need to release something now? They’re still getting paid big for shows. Maybe they hold on until it makes sense. Maybe they announce in a few weeks once the initial sales for the tour flatten out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as my stance on the band. I haven't flip flopped on anything. For the most part my opinions haven't changed at all, but unlike others (not referring to you) I am not going to bitch about the same shit day after day for 4 years lol. You are either in or out. Overall they still put on a good show and I am all about live music. Could it be better? 100% it could, but I'll take we have over nothing.

I’m sure many members here are also members of different forums. Sports, music, movies other hobbies. It would blow your mind to know just exactly who is hiding in plain sight in all of these different forums. The people you talk to and you have no idea. It’s happened to me many times and every time I find out it’s always the same, “oh wow, that’s really fn’ interesting.” I could tell you the inside scoop of Sting’s $65 million Central Park home he bought last year. I could get into what actually happened with Joey Kramer and Aerosmith a few weeks ago. Guns could drop ten plus songs (all new, all finished) whenever they want. Fact is, they won’t until they want to. Sucks for everyone waiting (myself included) but in all honesty, the money isn’t in new music anymore guys. That era is loooooooooong gone. When it gets released it will be when they want it to be released. Until then, I’d enjoy Axl and Slash together as many times as you can. Nobody is getting younger. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldek Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I want new music as much as the next guy but to believe that Guns need an album or a couple new songs in their setlist to keep touring at the highest level (stadiums/large fields) is just delusional, in my opinion. There will be a day when they can't fill more than 10.000/15.000 seats and that's only because their target has already had enough of the guys. If the majority of people at their shows barely knows the lyrics besides SCOM/WTTJ/DC/NR/Patience/PC's chorus, how can you expect them to think of a new Guns album as the second coming of Jesus? They're a legacy act, way past their prime but somehow due to their behaviour and mistery surrounding every move (or lack of), were able to keep a certain appeal, much more since Slash returned. What we have now is a GREAT live band, capable of putting together a solid show, enough for you to go home, thinking how great of an evening that was. Duff has a side project, so does Slash. GNR is like a daytime job that funds their personal projects/dreams/ambitions. I'm sure they all get a kick when they got 60k people screaming to the opening chords of Jungle but that's it - instant reward with little to zero hassle. Why change the formula?
