    Pointing out that there are other bands doing the same stuff as GN'R, is not "looking for reasons they should keep doing what they're (not) doing". It is just pointing out facts-

    Besides, no reasons are needed, they do whatever they want to do and we just have to accept it. And touring the world and entertaining millions of people is not too bad. They could have been doing nothing. I look at this as a glass is half-full situation. I would have preferred it if they have focused on new music instead, but this is infinitely better than just doing nothing.

    You're like a broken record. Do TB pay you? Not every forum needs a Jarmo!

    Wait.. what? Lol. Why would I use bands that operate nothing like GnR as example instead of bands that do operate similarly to GnR? And I didn't say "the GnR approach is normal" but rather that it's not that unusual. 

     

     

    These are the bands in their league (they even toured together!), and that kind of activity is normal in their case, and so should be in GNR’s. I think if there’s something we need less of, then it’s looking for reasons they should keep doing what they’re (not) doing. 
    Yes, it’s not that unusual in some cases, but in their case, they should take examples from bands they’re most often associated with. Otherwise we might as well start comparing them with Pink Floyd.

    Extreme has had a new album ready and waiting to be released since 2017.  For whatever reason it wasn't released until later this year. Their last album also was released in 2008. 

    It took Black Sabbath 16 years to release a new album with Ozzy after the reunion. They released only two new songs in 1998. 

    Van Halen, also took 16 years between reunion/two new Best Of songs and A Different Kind of Truth. They also according to Dave recorded almost full album worth of material in 2000/2002.

    Nice job finding bands that fit your point, although I wouldn’t include people like Ozzy, who’s glad he remembers his own name. Now try bands from the same rank, magnitude, or field, so to speak – you can use the Power Trip festival for reference: Metallica, Iron Maiden... hell, even AC/DC. What’s their frequency? And what are they doing for the fans between albums in terms of videos etc.? No, there is absolutely nothing normal about GNR’s approach, especially not considering they’ve slowly become just a legacy touring band yet keep dangling all sorts of carrots about working on new stuff etc. Your apologetics is futile. 
    Oh wait, it’s all because of the covid thing, isn’t it? It slowed everything down!
