DTJ80 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 18 minutes ago, Blackstar said: Maybe it just has to do with the platform, as it seems he doesn't want what he says to be taken as official statements. There he was able to do a voice chat that he asked not to be recorded, so even if it's recorded it won't be shared in public and then make news as statements etc. And on reddit all the threads he posts in get deleted (possibly at his request) after a little while so his comments are not visible in the main feed of the GnR subreddit or of his profile and one has to look to find them. Hmm - good points but still odd! Still - any platform where there is engagement can only be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuriousStyles Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 4 hours ago, James Bond said: Again I wouldn't deny that plenty of people get where they are through experience above degrees and that is to be valued. My jabs shouldn't be taken too literally in that regard. My general point is just that he has continuously shown to be incompetent in many of the dailies of being the manager of a big time rock act. I realize Axl is much to blame as well in regards to some things (new music) but it wouldn't take much effort at all to repair the disconnect between the band and its fans. His "holier than thou" attitude and flashing his manager card every chance he can just makes him just come across as too insecure to truly manage the giant machine that this band has become. I don't even think Guns fans are the most hostile and yet Team Brazil has trouble dealing with it. He reminds me of people who speak about sports teams. When 'WE' won that game.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the second AWOLNATION interview with Duff, he seemed to imply that "good things will happen when touring resumes" in regards to the question that everybody was asking (there was a lot of spam on the chat about a new album).

Ok, thanks! Oh well... that implies, that a possible release is months/years away... maybe a single, at the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be start, imagine if they released the london show with a good mix. I think you meant that they might just release them in the same form as we've seen them already. Not sure if I have watched the entire A4D show... It would be amazing if the released some bonus material with some interviews with the A4D band... including Axl. K'll hold my tongue for now, but this could easily amount to nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UseYourDelusion Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Can’t believe it’s taken so long for a tour that grossed THAT high to consider sharing concert footage in a social media age. They really need to drop new material in time for the next Actual live shows but that’s another story. They have a great opportunity to hype up the reunion now during lockdown ready for any new material- even if it was just a single! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 (edited) They’d be off their tits to put out something that doesn’t show Axl at the top of his game. Appetite for Democracy had a few solid tracks to choose from, SCOM and YCBM should’ve been avoided Edited May 8, 2020 by Dean 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manfisman Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 I think Troubador would be a great start. Then anything from 2016 should be great. I don't think we're going to see full concerts though, maybe a song from here and there. That's a nice start though Let's wait and see 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the song choices are determined by what songs the public knows. The track(s) put out will be one of the well known GNR hits: - Jungle - SCOM - Paradise City - Patience - You Could Be Mine - Don't Cry + Maybe a CD track & a cover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to rectify that and show him killing it. Everything bar mostly SCOM and YCBM from the list above, Axl usually kills it (there will be a few PC's to choose from that are passable). The band are fucking great on Patience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping for some of these: It's So Easy - Troubadour WTTJ - Detroit 2016 Patience - Glendale 2016 Out Ta Get Me / My Michelle - Cincinnati 2016 But honestly if they post any live videos, it's a step in the right direction and I'll be happy about that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post GNRfanMILO Posted May 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 8, 2020 A 30min video of the Troubadour, the night before, people lining up, Axl and Slash meeting, and then It's So Easy + Mr. Brownstone would be something incredible to see.

James Bond Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Credit where credit is due, I suppose. Definitely a step in the right direction. In my opinion this should have been an obvious move that didn't require visiting Reddit but alas, it sure beats the children's book. Hopefully it's some worthwhile footage. I'm looking at you, Houston 2016! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
