Good lord, tickets got bloody expensive. Starting at 133CHF/ 142USD going all the way up to 220CHF /240USD. With the notable exception of an Eagles show, these are the highest prices I have ever seen for an Open Air / Stadium show around here. I guess Americans are already used to these prices for a long time.
If you are a Sunrise customer you can access the presale via Sunrise Moments.

And also just got the Ticketcorner Newsletter for Bern, Switzerland. Presale starts tomorrow Feb. 22nd at 11am Swiss time.
Guns N' Roses Tickets - Ticketcorner offizieller Ticketverkauf
I assume it is safe to assume, by now that all previously published dates are true.
Also kindly move to tour section.

Just got the newsletter from CTS Eventim that Guns will play in Frankfurt on July 3rd 2023. Ticket Sale starts this Friday at 10am.

Somebody may move it in the tour section please.

Was anybody from the forum actually there? I visited the show in SIN in 2017 and it was one of the worst organized shows I have ever been to. Transportation sucked big time and the organizers were major crooks. One had to put money on some kind of non refundable festival credit card in advance. If you were dumb enough to do that you had to wait about 2-3 hours in front of a single beer/drinks stand missing half the show, only to then find out that everything was sold out, so you paid a lot of money and time for nothing.
I wonder if it was any better this time?

BS website. Guns will not play Porsche Arena in Stuttgart. That is way too small for them.
I will likely not visit a show next year if they don`t bring out a new music, somehow the thrill is gone. I am a huge fan of the reunion and I managed to see them all over the world. But this year was the first year I had the opportunity to see them and chose not to; I rather saw a Maiden show.

They are more compressed so you can potentially hear "more detail" at lower volumes because everything frequency-wise is being pushed more to the forefront because of that
Honestly though, that can just mean it sounding a bit more cramped and induce ear fatigue when played louder - comparing a couple choice tunes with the original CDs, the originals are more dynamic and have just as much detail while played at a decent volume.
Honestly the compression completely negates the potential benefits you can get from a new tape transfer and new EQing. For me I am sticking with the originals across the board
Thanks for elaborating on the technical side. I guess that is exactly what it is, and what my problem with the remasters is;. I just mentioned in another thread that I think somehow the remasters are more "clean" - to listen to, but somehow also more difficult as they lack warmth and energy to me.

So what`s the verdict on the remastered UIY albums?
I just listened to both of them on my best B&O headphones and I thought that somehow the remastered songs are a bit of a mixed bag. They sound more "clear" but not as "full", at times drums sound almost as annoying as on Metallica`s Death Magnetic. I hardly ever use an equalizer when listening to music, but in order to enjoy the UYI remasters I had to put the EQ to "energize" -I guess that means at B&O bass and highs up - about 20%. In neutral setting I kind of miss the punch, warmth and energy in some songs. Anyone has similar thoughts or some experts have something enlightening to contribute?

Everybody here gotta realize that bands don`t make money from albums and EPs anymore. I guess Guns makes nowadays much more money alone with fashion licenses than with their records. So putting out an album now with no tour to promote in sight makes absolutely no sense at all. Possibly they intended to have something out for the Australian / NZ tour, so that is why we got these EPs - but then again those marekets are also pretty small. So if something is coming, it would make most sense if it arrives in spring next year....but then again what does ever make sense in the world of Guns? Could also be that they just don`t care at all, as financially an album is irrelevant for them.
To all those people complaining thatwe only got and most likely will get only "old" music reworked by Slash & Duff.....You guys seriously need to consider how long Axl has been working / rewriting / producing these old songs. If you guys wait for an album written from scratch from Axl, Slash and Duff, chances are neither the band nor us will live to listen to it.
In general, I don´t understand what is wrong with working on "old" songs. We have to recognize that there will never be another album like AFD, the band had collectively a magic, unique productive moment in time when they wrote songs for eternity.
Everything written after 91 by individual members was never able to catch up to this magic. And i think it is an illusion to think that just because three of the original five are back together 30 years later they will be able to. Even if Izzy came back, it wouldn`t happen. So if they got something that has been sitting in the vaults I would love to see them working on it. I don`t think CD was a bad album, and if we get half an album with songs from the CD era with a Slash touch and half an album of Hard Skool songs (that possibly go back to demos from the stone ages...) I don`t mind.

Very weird song, don`t understand the intention of releasing. Maybe there was a leak so they came out before? I mean it is kind of big news, a new GnR song after all this time. It was even on CNN. So why don`t release something more catchy?
I don`t really hate the song, it just feels unfinished. It has horrible lyrics, no hook, weird timing with the singing and the screaming seems completely random. The underlying guitar work and rythm however is actually not bad, it would even fit the old AfD style. Is anybody else reminded of "Locomotive"?

In a very bizarre way Ticketmaster and their affiliates still sell tickets for concerts in June / July in countries that officially prohibited concerts until the end of August. I wonder if that is even legal....It would not surprise me if we did not hear anything at all from the Guns camp; maybe we`ll hear from some promoters some days before the concert is supposed to take place that the shows will be indefinetely postponed....

OFFICIAL UPDATE FROM GUNS on Facebook, MAY 11th 2020 - EU SUMMER TOUR WILL NOT BE HAPPENING
GN’R Fam: Sadly, the upcoming European tour will not be happening. Things are changing daily and we want to keep our fans, crew members and band safe. We are working hard with our promoters, venues and cities/countries on next steps and will make further announcements as soon as we can. Thank you for your patience, we will get through this together and look forward to seeing you all very soon…

Possibly it would be a good idea to have an official thread on the status of the 2020 tour and country restrictions. I don`t think there will be a Euro tour this year, but the silence from GnR camp (as well as promotors) is deafening. So maybe a thread with the official regulations would make sense for us to keep up (and keep our hopes down for a 2020 tour). I just added countries where I had up to date info available; please feel free to add info.

You guys can`t compare Axl`s and Jon`s performances. Jon`s voice is just straight dead; he is stuck with 3-4 lower notes and no power in his voice at all. He can`t sing anymore- period. Axl has had his ups and downs but even on a bad performance he had voice, range and power left.

AC/DC works like a clockwork, 100% sure they will drop an album in autumn and then tour. Hope the solution for Brian with the special in ears works out.

I saw Bon Jovi last night, as tickets were rather cheap. Stadium was full and people did have a good time as they were singing louder than the singer. But boy oh boy is Jon Bon Jovi`s voice dead. Completely out of sync, incomprehensible at times, severe problems of hitting any notes at all and most of all he was only singing roughly about half the lines. It looked most of the times as he was really suffering by singing. As soon as he had to raise his voice a little, the mix just tuned him off completely and the band members had to sing for him. The band itself was great, Tico was on fire, David saved the biggest embarassement for Jon by propably singing as much as Jon and Phil X is a great guitar player. However the whole show rather had the character of a karaoke show for the audience and David. At times I had the feeling Jon was so off, that the band actually slowed down the songs for him. I almost felt sorry for him (almost, but the combination of worse than KISS advertising for Jon Bon Jovi crafted denim wear, the Jon Bon Jovi Cruise (3 nights 2500 USD per person) and the official BonGiovi tomato sauce and his self celebration by wearing a jacket that said LEGEND at the end of his singing misery kind of prevented me from feeling too sorry) .
Axl Rose on his worst night (such as Abu Dhabi last year) was still about 10 times as good. Even in bad shows he never had to rely on the singing capabilities of his band, he always had "some voice" left. So if a decent band like Bon Jovi without the original lead guitar player can sell out stadiums with a charismatic singer who can`t sing anymore, I have absolutely no doubt that Guns will be able to tour big time for the next 10 years at least.

It's a C- film at best. Fine, but overall, a little to clean for what it was supposed to be and I found some of the overdubs a little cartoonist. I also thought The film seemed to be in a rush, lots of great parts left out. The book was brilliant though.
Vince's parts saved it somewhat, the actor who played him did a great job especially the skylar, razzle parts. Mick and Tommy were good top. Thought the Nikki wasn't great, just seemed a little too smooth, sixx always seemed way more fucked up and sleazy.
No need for a gnr film, the Crüe film kinda covers the same story... It's also more interesting... Even if GNR are the more popular band and are a better band in my opinion.
Too clean?? Maybe they cut the version in the US, but I thought it was pretty explicit. Was watching it with an older friend and he was actually a bit shocked about some of the scenes. I`m am not that much of a fan, so I can`t really tell how close to reality the movie is, but all in all I would think that it could have been like that quite well.
I agree that the movie was not big budget and in some parts a bit superficial, but overall I thought it was very entertaining to watch. Tommy and Mick came across best in the movie. Overall I am happy that Netflix made it, better than 95% of the generic bs on it.

Who the heck is Angie Warner?
She seems to be a Tour Manager for Live Nation. She worked a long time with both Axl Rose`s version of Guns n Roses, as well with Slash and Duff in Velvet Revolver. My guess is Live Nation put her in to supervise the "other" Tour Managers....

I just returned from the show! Guns started really late at this show at around 9:20pm! My girlfriend already said that something must be wrong! After Jungle Axl said: “Now is the time for apologies, unfortunately I am quite sick today, I have been throwing up nonstop for the past 5 hours and been in the IV; This is a new experience for me, I never felt this way before but actually I kind of feel quite good (with the meds) Having said that we still decided not to cancel the show and deliver the best show we can do”
All in all one could see that he was not in the best shape, but he tried! The voice was also quite decent! However the guitar solo were quite a stretch and during the set there were some discussions going on...At the end of the set he must have felt quite miserable as I don’t think they intended to close the show with NR! Axl apologized again for not delivering and they left! After there was some confusion in stage if the show really ended as people from the crew were going on and off the stage in a rather confused way.
I think they really intended and tried to deliver the 3 hour set, but at some point he simply couldn’t do it anymore! In hindsight it would have been better to have planned and played a 100 minute greatest hits set; would have also been better for the F1 audience! But really nobody can blame them for not trying; the people got jungle, esstranged, SCOM and NR; if they would have put Knockin on Heavensdoor and PC instead of Wichita Linesman and Better this particular audience would have been perfectly happy! The concert goers were mostly ppl who watched the F1 race and got the concert for free....

God, has this thread been derailed. It seems nowadays you cannot voice a political opinion without getting clubbed to death for it by the opposing side. I really miss the times before "me first, fuck everybody else", when you still could be friends with people whose political views you did not share...
To sum the whole discussion it goes like:
"but but Axl was mean to women too and he is a fool and spells like a kid, how dare he to criticize the president....how can people justify and possibly still like Axl, the guy can`t even sing..."
This whole discussion got so bloody stupid. Axl is entitled to his believes and to have and state his opinion and to protect his property like everybody else. If he does not want DT to play his music and his campaign still does, he got every bloody right to be pissed and be vocal about it. I assume Ted Nugent would have pulled a gun if Hillary Clinton had played his songs.
As a wise man once said: "This ain`t Burger King, you can`t have it your way....". Oh and about the whole morality discussion: I do believe that it is a bit of a difference if you are a rockstar or the president; those jobs kinda have different intellectual and moral requirements. Well at least it used to be that way....

1 hour ago, killuridols said:If he does this on a live show in the USA I don't know what could happen with the audience
It is so sad that we seem to live in a time where political dispute is not civilized anymore; not only in the US but increasingly in Europe as well. So much hate, fear and violence. It is scary that nowadays a person stating his political point of view must fear being the target of verbal abuse and possibly even physical violence. Whatever happened to the core values of democracy: “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it!" ?
And yes I believe that he is right on the topic; he has every right to be upset that his music is instrumentalized by people he clearly does not like. And his take on DT, well I guess that the vast majority of thinking people would agree - regardless of his policies - that DT has a poor regard for the truth, likes using loopholes and is not exactly driven by superior ethics.

Don`t understand this discussion. DT and Axl are nothing alike.....at least not nowadays. On most of his appearances off stage Axl comes agross as rather mellow, funny and softspoken person with the ability of not taking himself too seriously. Can`t say that about DT. Maybe Axl can advise him on the meds ......

And besides, we all know Duff has not been punk as fuck in a really long time. I mean couture shopping, attending yachting exhibtions, instagraming and squeezing GnR`s profits to the max kinda disqualified him from that lifestyle...
Not that it matters, we all evolve, grow up, get lazier and more conservative. I assume he somewhere still has some "punk" attitude and genuine affection for that kind of music in him, but it`s not like he needs to act the same way when as he was in his 20s.

The "New Album" Thread. Thanks to the long ass thread, I’m going home!
in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
Posted
So any news? One of the DJs on Germany`s largest rock radio station "Rock Antenne" claimed last week that a new GnR album will come out this year. He did not mention any further details (of course).
