im going to allow myself to be optimistic here for the next 30 hours and predict that when that timer reaches 0 that new material will be available for instant dowload on gnr.fm and ill be listening to that shit on full blast on my way to work friday morning

Serious question here what would persuade you to part with £478 or $650. I mean what would you expect for that because there's a possibility that you'll already own most of the stuff on previous GNR albums. I mean seriously are you willing to pay those amounts of money for a couple of tracks that were at the time only good enough for the cutting room floor.

especially when all of it will be on youtube an hour after its released. if it is infact a boxset and they do charge those insane prices, that shit better include a strand of axls hair and a pair of slashs dirty underwear lol

there has to be new music. the average fan doesnt care about a box set. it probably cost them a boatload of money to put up those billboards and posters. its either this tour is going around the world again or a new album is coming. nothing else would justify that kind of advertising budget

Guns N' Roses as brand still have legal obligations with the label, they cant release ANYTHING without labels approval. Even if it is self founded.

what exactly are the bands obligations to the label ? do they owe them X number of albums? are they signed for so many years? for life? how exactly does that shit work?

i know gnr has numerous obstacles but the label seems to be a big one. would be nice if they could get that outta the way

the only good thing i can think of about an afd rerelease is that it can be used as a prelude to uyi 3 and 4 to be released a year later. i know, fat chance but in an ideal non-gnr world thats how it would go down

complaints complaints complaints

has it been confirmed yet that the billboard has been spoted outside of the UK? i mean besides that one guy that said he saw it in chicago a few pages back (who may or may not have been on drugs at the time lol) cuz i doubt if its a remastered AFD that theyll only be promoting it in London

ummmm... wouldnt they have to reunite to make an album ? lol

"Destruction" would be the perfect name for a new album

the thing i want most is a new album with the original 5 and if we can get them all on the same stage together again its a HUGE step in the right direction

steves comments mean nothing. axl said slash was a cancer and we all know how that ended... steve will backtrack in a heartbeat given the chance

the average fan doesnt care about an afd remaster unless theres a dvd or something to go along with it... also seeing as how the billboard is only in london, im guessing its a one off show with the original 5 playing afd front to back and itll be broadcast on sirius or something... if billboards start popping up in other cities ill change my mind but until then i doubt theyd put up billboards for a rereleased afd that everyone except people from this forum will just stream on spotify anyways... wtv the case im stoked to find out what its all about... just hope its not another slot machine ffs

here i am thinking he was gone to fuck steves girlfriend... come to find out it was just a monitor issue all along... so dissapointed 

almost seems like steven knows that no ones listening to him bitch anymore so hes dropping izzys name to get some attention. hey if it helps him sell more tickets to his next show, great, i like steve a lot, but the boat has sailed. the average soccer mom doesnt give a shit if him or izzy are there and it seems like thats the only thing that matters right now

gnr > rose tattoo + kings of the sun combined

Nothing should be considered a cash grab that the fans have been wanting  23 years- for - we all asked for it and got it-I seen the tour 3 times -every time was bad ass - last show I seen was over 4 hours -that isnt a cash grab that is doing something they missed and loved 

to be fair tho... whether you enjoyed the show or not, they grabbed your cash 3 times lol

when they play 3.5 hours they dont have much choice but to include some deep cuts, there isnt a band i can think of that has 3.5 hours of just top hits... and a 2 hour show would not justify those ticket prices... especially with the shit bands they had openining

and although i somewhat agree that an undependable rythm guitarist might not "deserve" as much as axl or slash.... does he really deserve any less than duff?

Izzy, unlike the other 3- sold his share when he quit. 

All that is known is that Izzy and GNR couldn't come to an agreement that everyone was happy with, his now-deleted tweet didn't describe or encompass the entire situation. 

It costs money to tour, why pour all that cash into a tour that were not going to be profitable? People seem to think musicians should be altruistic with their profession, when they themselves wouldn't think of doing their jobs for free. 

i never said i expect anyone to work for free... whether he sold his share or not, he was still one of the main reasons they got so big in the first place, so my personal opinion is that they shoulda gave him an equal cut... now its more than likely that none of us will ever know what really went down, and all we'll ever get are these vague insinuations, but when i hear the word cash grab, i think greed, and when izzy says it was all about the loot, it leads me to beleive that at least one person was being greedy.

did i still go to the shows? yes... did i enjoy the fuck out of them? hell yes... but izzy not being around cuz someone wanted a little bit more cash when theyre already filthy rich, leaves a bitter taste in my mouth... now if axl ever comes out and says it was payback for ditching them mid tour 25 years ago then it might change my take on things... and im not even a huge izzy fan, its just my two cents

izzy not being there cuz of the "loot" indicates its a cash grab... not wanting to split the pie 5 ways is low

Order of events.......

GNR tours '18

AC/DC new album w/Axl 

GNR takes break during initial AC/DC tour

The new GNR album 

GNR & AC/DC tour together 

It will be epic 

so axl would be on stage for 6 hours ? lol what would be possible is them playing at festivals together with shorter sets and/or on seperate nights

at this point i think no news is good news. if there was no new music on the horizon, most people will still buy tickets (bar a few diehards from the forum) so why not just come out and say it?

but if they say yeah were workin on something, they'll be the laughing stock of a whole nation in 2-3 years AGAIN when its not released

For crying out loud, how difficult is it for them to give one freaking interview to let the fans know if they can expect a GnR record any time soon or not.

Worst band ever.

 

axl made that mistake 8 years before chinese democracy was released. i doubt he wants to make it again... thats a lot of dr. pepper lol

slash probably fucked the guys wife or something. i doubt if he were just a fan he would get violent
