They clearly know how to organise and run a smooth touring operation. But TB don't seem to have the structure / contacts / organisation in place to make ad-hoc releases like this a seamless exercise. I always thought, that Del is managin the tour... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasmcole Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 (edited) Maybe it's like the new album; they have all the stuff ready to go, they just don't know how to release it! 🤔 Edited May 18, 2020 by thomasmcole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jthunders13 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 (edited) It’s going to be a tour video of SCOM promoting the kids book. I’d bet on that for sure the way this is being played out. Edited May 18, 2020 by jthunders13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what that means in GNR world...😉 Well, based on it taking 12 years from the last "soon" to soundcheck new music... maybe in 15 years we'll finally see something uploaded?

jackparker123 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 (edited) 11 days later and still nothing? What a shambles. Maybe they're waiting for May 20th as that was the day "The Next Chapter" was scheduled to begin. Or maybe not.

default_ Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Hey Fernando, gimme the footage and a couple of jacks and Ill edit this shit for free just to compensate part of the shit this band have made the fanbase go thru. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumandraisin Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 I've said it before but people plucking time frames out of thin air has led to people disappointed again. He said soon. Firstly, he being Fernando I cant believe anyone even took that as gospel. He's axls cleaners (and managers son ffs) Secondly, the word soon... really? You're falling for that one again? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamsapple Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Back in the day Axl was late for concerts. But at least he did play concerts. Today, his "manager" is late for uploads. And he ain't got no uploads or much else to show for. What a great day to be a fan of this band. Again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 I often wonder why Fernando bothers announcing things that clearly aren't ready to happen. If he had no videos on standby why say anything at all? Maybe he thinks it builds anticipation but for a band as cryptic as this it does quite the opposite. It makes it seem all the more silly and screams incompetence when it's been nearly two weeks and there's nothing to show from a relatively simply task. He would have been better off not saying anything at all and just dropping a video at some point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans obviously want these updates, yet everything gets delayed, gets too complicated or thrown aside as the wind blows. It seems like this happens under every manager Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn't see the album through to completion they will be gone forever, Axl will certainly sue him if he tries to use them since they were "intended for Guns".

I don't think he will Axl and Fernandont ruin his reputation. At this point even the casuals get pissed or make fun of the stupid merch and no music. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose as long as he can nip off and do his own thing now and then he can continue the long march to obscurity that GNR seem to be currently on and pick up the cash. Things might change when the ticket sales see the venues getting smaller and smaller though I suppose.

KeyserSoze Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Everything about Slash/Perla/leaving/songwriting is he said/she said at this point. I personally thought 2016 was going to see a turning point for the band and actually see them get some shit done and turn around the image Axl created for the band. Not that it was a bad one, it was a shit show at times, but as we can all see, that didn’t happen. So at this point, it wouldn’t surprise me if Slash just stayed with the band until he is a shriveled up old rockstar, profiting off of the songs he made 33 years ago. Which is fine. I mean besides doing his usual posts on instagram and thanking NHS, Slash has also been mighty quiet during this pandemic. Duff has been the only one engaging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. People are comparing artists that are releasing years old pro-shots and expecting guns to go with that timeframe. And yet if Tokyo 92 was released these people would complain. I imagine TB have basically no infrastructure for producing high quality show vids which will only add to the delay sadly. The crazy thing is I think once TB realise that releasing concert videos is basically free money we'll being to see a lot more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duff has been the only one engaging You can guarantee Slash isn't quiet behind the scenes though. He never sits still. He's just not positing inane updates about it all the time. and because of his past history of actually releasing stuff and producing tangible results, we believe that he is actually doing something! I couldn't really care less if any of them are personally 'engaging' (I imagine Duff isn't really, but probably has someone doing it on his behalf). I don't know these people, never met them, and really have no interest in seeing the petty details of their everyday lives presented as a PR exercise (which is essentially what most 'celebs' use social media for). I admire their desire to be private. The 'band promotion' side is totally different of course. No need for the members to be telling us what they had for dinner.....but every need to deliver on band promises and keep updated from the business side of things.

Gunner927 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Hahaha... Slash is never leaving again. He literally has the best of both worlds right now; he can tour with Guns playing the hits and cash the massive checks, then he can go fuck off with SMKC in his downtime to pump out new music, and whatever various side gigs he does with other artists. Tour a year or two with The Conspirators while Guns is off the road, rinse, repeat. Unless Myles leaves his side, but even then, he could probably just plug Kerns in on vocals (would be a welcome change, imo ). Either something happens with Guns for new music, or he realizes it never will, and takes those riffs he has saved for Guns and puts them to use elsewhere, like Snakepit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
