    Since you’re in the pittsburgh area, have you seen the merch truck? I’m hoping to get a litho and shirt before the eBay crowd snatches them all

    I haven’t seen that but it may be at the stadium which is across the river from their hotel. I was just working downtown and saw a tour bus.

    Del came out with his wife from the hotel. I can’t attach pics but it seems that is where they are staying.
     

    Would love to get autographs somehow 

  2. I'd be surprised if Axl ever lost his own delusional desire to be seen as some kind of genius musical visionary, but I think the response to CD crushed his confidence and now he's scared shitless to release anything new.

    This sums it up. If what MSL said was true, and Axl actually did turn in a new album in 2010 only to have it shot down, then I would guess this really messed with Axl's head. Going from having your record label desperate for an album to having them essentially say, "thanks but we're a little too busy now" would be pretty hard on someone as emotionally vulnerable to criticism as Axl.

    This is the answer, everything else is speculation

  3. 3. Rose Is Shopping for a New Label Deal

    Geffen released Chinese Democracy via an exclusive deal with Best Buy that was a total bust. But Axl isn't done with the label system just yet. "Once I get the next things sorted out with the label, then I feel I can get to that creative place that I've been fighting to get to, and to use Guns N' Roses to do so," he said, later adding, "We're gonna be busy we're gonna be busy all next year. We'll be putting out new stuff as soon as we can figure out what our deal is with labels, blah blah blah."

  4. Its gotta be or most likely the advance money to record n book studio time right? There's no way in hell he gets millions again so he had to tour to get the money. Its probably taken way longer than he thought it would due to production costs, lower attendance, cancelled movies, things like that. They've probably proven the market is improving for the brand but the label has probably walked out of any offers from rose's camp. Axl may have asked the members to come up with cash so u have dj selling his soul, hot sauces, etc.

    All of this is speculation and the last part is probably the least likely....I haven't touched the reunion idea which is probably always a card the label wants to use even if its a song or two with slash. The label keeps asking, axl says fuck off and hits the road for months. They come back, check the numbers and its back to the drawing board. This year seems to be more festivals which may be more lucrative

  5. Even a casual fan would know he's highly successful. At his peak, he couldn't be touched as king of the entertainment world. Sold out stadiums, supermodels, excess to the infinite degree, millions in thr bank, and a sick house in malibu. We all dream of a day like that, hes lived it. Has he fallen, yes, but everyone does. Most should know he could care less what outsiders think.

    He will release another album and retire, both on his terms...
