If it's an consolation it'll probably get moved again so you might get your winter wish after all. Winter 2022 at this rate.

I wouldn't mind April at all. I mean, Bond was a summer thing from The Spy Who Loved Me to Licence To Kill so I feel like that'll be a nice change of pace from our winter fare from 1995 onwards.

Yeah. No reason to believe it won't get moved again. No sure though I wanna wait a full year.

But Licence (the first Bond I saw at the cinema) is 30 years ago. Every other movie since was a winter movie. I would like to keep it like that. Exotic and hot locations is just something for the winter. Not for early summer.

Not surprising or even entirely unexpected but... fuuucccckk.

Fuck. There really is no time to die. I want an new Bond movie in Fall/Winter. Not towards summer. That's just fucking wrong.

A) He states it as fact. B) even it just was his opinion, it's bullshit.

there actually are some bootlegs of this show floating around, pretty ballsy for metallica to blame g'n'r for anything after such a joke of a performance:

 

 

You do not seriously believe this is an actual performance??

You started that bullshit first 

It wasn't me who said that one band "on the worst day of their fuckin' existence, is better than the other band at their best", which is the real bullshit.

Objectively speaking, you're just so wrong.

Objectively speaking, oh the irony of you telling me I'm wrong.

rubbish

you watch this trailer, and it's instantly forgettable. there is no humour, no suspense. just quick, stressfull sequences. only interesting bit was the vague bond theme, but even that was a bit  clumsy. I genuinly feel stressed out watching this.

THIS is how you do a good bond trailer:

 

Rubbish, rubbish. It's 2020. Not 1967. Get with the times. I like it and can't wait. Glad Blofeld is back, hopefully this time a little bit more satisfying. And the villain has a lair. Awesome. Also glad it got delayed. So now I have time to do the Bond marathon leading up to it. It's been a while since I saw every single one of them.

Phil dug his own grave, and had legal / drug problems up the wazoo! Not to mention that he had become pretty erratic around the time of the rock or bust recording. As for Brian he could not have and should not have performed that 2016 tour after his hearing loss, but Angus and co should have taken him aside and said clearly "You are the singer of AC/DC, that isn't changing, but right now we have a tour that we need to finish" they handled it wrong, but that's obviously water under the bridge for Angus and Brian... I really don't think it was a "Fuck Brian, we'll get someone else" thing. I think it was simply the machine had temporarily lost a part and it needed to be temporarily replaced. If Axl was singing on this album and Brian was denied doing so, I'd say things were a lot more business than friendly! but almost every band is run like a business now, that's why when a band like Rush is out there and have agreements that it's all for one, one for all it's so unusual. 

But they surely made it sound that way. Basically saying "We wish him well, but now we got Axl Rose." makes this pretty clear. They could have stated that they have every intention to keep him as the singer when he gets better or for studio work, but they made it pretty clear that their time with him is up. I saw them twice in 2015 and I don't feel that he shouldn't have done the tour. At least not performance wise. As for getting him back, going on tour with a replacement is one thing, but releasing an album with a new singer is another. To many, it's not really AC/DC anymore with both Malcolm and Brian gone. As for Phil, yeah, he dug his own grave, but still, they just sacked him without any word of support or understanding or friendship or whatever and got Chris. and now, they just drop Chris the same way and apparently do not even have the decency to tell him.

Angus is very coy when it comes to business and communication regarding the band. He treats AC/DC as the entity and the people who play as band members as tools to contribute to it. 

Yeah. That kinda got obvious the way they got rid of Brian. Many thought that was kinda cold and too businesslike. Also with Phil. You fuck up/you have problems. You're out.

Happy that it’s finally confirmed!

i wonder if Chris Slade was lying in that recent interview, or if he genuinely believed he was still in the band.

Yeah. If so, they did him dirty a second time. Kinda despicable. Seems like a good guy.

Awesome to see Brian back. As much as I wanted an Axl/DC album or even song, this is Brian's rightful place and 2016 would have been a bad way for him to leave the band

I'm glad Brian is back and I'm glad there is no Axl/DC Album. I loved the 3 Shows I saw, but this is Brian's band. If Axl records music it should be with his band or not at all.

The groups you named are perfect examples of why it was over.  The Stones I give a pass to due to personal taste but really and truly, what was left of rock n roll by the time The Stones were doing stadiums in the 80s?  it was done.  AC/DC, as good as a great many of their songs are, were like a revivalist nostalgia act.  Same with Guns, Metallica, U2 and Springsteen were just pants.  At that point it was just about corporate sponsorship and maximizing earnings as these 'artists' rapidly approached middle age and realised that they hadn't made half the money that they could have and were looking to the future about how they were gonna keep themselves in the manner to which they'd become accustomed.  And thats fine, I ain't against anyone earning a few bob.  But it ain't rock n roll, at least not in the sense of a fertile forward moving genre with some legs to it.

But those are still here, going on and going strong for the most part, so it's not over. It may only be over (after they retire), because bands tend not to get that big anymore. And there is just something magical about that stadium of 50,000 people singing the same song. A show starting in daylight, going into twilight and ending in the night. That is an atmosphere an arena or club can never match. And all 3 situations are rock n roll.

It's not really a competition though. How do you rate that shit anyway? Freddie Mercury, James Brown, Jim Morrison, Robbie Williams... all great at what they do/did.

By the time it made it as a regular in stadiums it was all over.  

It's over? Ask U2, Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, AC/DC, Metallica, Guns N' Roses, even fucking Bon Jovi... I think they beg to differ.

I’m not sure how to respond this.  Yes it does mean that if I don’t like them.  There isn’t any kind of objective fact when it comes to taste and according to my taste Metallica are absolute shite.  If your opinion differs from that thats fine but there’s no objective truth here.

Objectively speaking, they are not worse than GNR. Period.

7 hours ago, Len Cnut said:

The fact is Guns n Roses, on the worst day of their fuckin' existence, is better than Metallica at their best.  A load of fuckin' dull noise, thats Metallica.  Guns n Roses piss all over em on every level.

No, they are not. Just because you don't like them, don't mean they are worse than GNR.

What kind of biased dick questions on Stern's part trying to start some shit. Luckily Lars didn't go for it. Evn on a co-headline tour, someone has to go on first. So to call it opening up is ridiculous. As for Stern's attempt to make it seem outragous for Metallica to go one first, at the time and world wide GNR was the slightly bigger band.

CAUTION (personal opinion ahead)
I don't enjoy seeing Fortus on stage and never did. This never ending over the top guitar-spinning... Hitting the strings as if they owed him money while jumping around constantly, combined with his hipster-style and these fucking Gretsch guitars which look as if they were made for church-gigs exclusively. Doesn't do anything for me, I always feel embarrassed when I watch him on stage. 

Ah.. now I feel better, which is pathetic, but who cares.

Did I write that? If not, those are exactly what I would have written. On my second fake-GNR gig I decided to not pay any attention to him (and mostly anyone else) anymore and only watch Axl.

Doing my best to forget that. But if you ever need a reason for why he is not a partner. There. Exhibit A: Silkworms

Thanks. Interesting that the likes of Dizzy who's been part of the band for 30 years, contributed to multiple albums is still a hired hand so to speak with no stake or share in the band.

Nah. That's not interesting. That's a given. He's an add on by Axl, who actually didn't add anything. He's lucky to be there. And that only because he's a yes man going under the radar, not causing any problems.

If audiences are forced to wait there could be a glut of bands wanting to tour and small demand. 

If audiences haven't been able to go to shows for 3 years, there will be big demand.

I’m really hoping this tour hits the road. Is anyone on this forum skeptical?

At this point I'm beginning to think it's comical how these promoters put on new shows for next year and think they will take place. I know, that's what they have to do, just in case shows can take place, but somehow I doubt they will. I will be glad to be wrong though.

Yeah. But so incredibly disappointed that they went if Pattinson.
