I've heard the opposite. You have any idea how diffiult it is to check 18,000 people? If they check every single person the concert would have been held the next day. They check all the bags, but to pat down people, they do 1 out of 5 or in some cases 1 out of 10. 

Then they need that shit they use on airports to detect any suspecious material, I know that would take long time too, but if something doesn't change this shit will become everyday thing.

Security must be held accountable, I read somewhere that they are known for not checking bags and people which is completely unacceptable in world we are living in.

I'm sure Trump's visit to Saudi Arabia and his strong promise to destroy ISIS and similar groups as them fueled the fire.

Its not an album, dvd or single if live nation are promoting it.

 

It will be a smaller venue to commemorate 30 years of appetite. You will get Steven on for two songs.

If they don't do one off show with Izzy and Steven they better just ignore 30 years of AFD, and celebrate it with a post on social media.

Of course he is talking about since he joined the band, we might hate him because he's in Izzy's place but he's not stupid.

Hey at least something is happening, we have something to be hyped about at least for couple days. 

So we don't have to talk about Axl's balding, did Axl lose his voice, why is he better with AC/DC, "Where's Izzy", how is Melissa lit "Rock icon".

The most interesting part is them saying that was "only the beginning." 

How much more touring can you do until the excitement dies out?

After 2nd US leg they can forget about stadiums, so they will switch to arenas for couple more legs and we can forget anything more than tour.

I have mixed feeling about this lineup releasing music... I really have no interest in any input from Frank, Fortus and Smurfette... But a new song with Slash, Duff and Axl would still excite me.

Didn't you hear that those three are quiet and Axl loves them because he doesn't see or hear them. They would do fine being hired hands and just playing instruments. And also big 3 songs won't be masterpieces their great songs are written 25-30 years ago, so all that's left in them are good-mediocre songs which i would love to hear anyway.

DVD from Dodgers (L.A where "all began"...)

Show at Rosebowl

Or...

Troubadour Show AFD 5 (where NITL Tour "all began")

Nothing began at Dodgers stadium.

It "all began" with original 5 in The Troubadour in 1985, and in 2016 tour began in Troubadour.

I think if we're going to blame anybody for the AFD5 hype right now it's going to be Mr. "I Cant Talk" Adler and the suddenly mute Stradlin.

Yeah all of a sudden Steven and Izzy seem to do that good old GNR way. Nowhere to be found thing, and Steven was blabbering about GNR after one song show in Argentina like crazy and then "I can't say anything about GNR".

The second one is all about what has happened since the threeunion, which has of course only been touring. Why would they be so focused on the date of Wednesday? There is not gonna be an AFD5 show in California on that day. It's just too close to the Ireland date. If there was gonna be an AFD5 show, it would be in July before the US leg. In that case, they would not be getting everybody all worked up about Wednesday.

I don't see the logic in promoting new dates this way. But it's GnR, and what the fuck do I know? 

 

Like I said in the post you quoted, "show announcement".

Disappointed about what? I haven't mentioned anything about singles or albums. I'm just pointing out that the second video that was posted yesterday on the bands official social media teased "May 24, 2017..." and that, unlike the previous video, was brand new. I'm not expecting new music.

Second one looks like follow up to me, second one is all about NITL tour so only reasonable thing would be another show annoucment, and since they are teasing it must be big, so it's AFD5 show.

Not the second one they didn't.

I'm just concerned for you and other people here, this is GNR we are talking here you are having huge hope on this and setting yourself for HUGE disappointment.

Live Nation tweeted that timeline video month and half ago, so forget about single, album annoucment. Prepare for some tour announcment, AFD 5 show AT THE BEST.

Once again: They will announce a warm up gig before they hit the European tour. It's so obvious... 

And since 4tus is still in the band there is no chance for Izzy. And we won't see Adler either. 

It's too much of a tease for something that small, and no fucking way they would play anything 3 days before Ireland it's different continent they can't just show up there one night before the show.

Damn y'all have high hopes, there will be a lot of crying here on May 24th. That day will be marked as one of darkest on the forum.

iA) Izzy and Steven are back full time as GNR members.

B) An AFD 30th anniversary show is announced with Steven and Izzy playing.

C) New single.

D) Something big i cant think right now.

A) No way in hell they are changing guitarist and drummer one week before European leg.

B) Most probable scenario

C) Come on it's GNR we are talking here

Have they announced the stuff they're doing with The Who yet or no? I'd assume they're gonna announce that 

Lol that's not news to hype it this much. They did for sure announce it on twitter with photo and I think video.

They will probably announce the show in LA with AFD5, venue will most likely be some theater or club. Don't get your hopes up about single or album because you will be let down big time.

Hope next year that video would end with "2018 Released album".

I know I'm delusional.

You guys are out of your minds if you think this is an AFD5 announcement. It will be new LA date(s) and free tickets for it. There was something like this already last year where a radio station had a either "big or "huge" (cant remember) GNR announcement to make, and that was exactly what it was, new show announcement with tickets for listeners. They will save the AFD5 shows for when this tour is over to cash in again because then everyone around the world is going to buy tickets again to see the originals. It's just the most logical and smart way to do it.

AFD5 would not boost ticket sales. People already seen this tour as the "Reunion tour" so even if Izzy and Steven come back it won't help to sell stadiums again. Once they tour Europe and USA for 2nd time there go all big cities so they need new album or they will be forced to do arenas.

this "internet destroyed industry" is bullshit, Metallica sold more than 100,000 copies of their last album in the first month or something like it

That's hilarious. If there wasn't youtube and various streaming services don't you think they would sell more than double of that?

Anyway for GNR it pays off better to milk old songs on tour than to record new album.

Ya know. If Axl were to sing like that on the next album I don't think I'd have a problem with it. What the fuck is the hold up on this new music?!

Don't wanna get on detail not a thread for that, but albums don't really bring money because internet destroyed industry and tour brings ALOT of money so that's main reason probably.

It appears that this one is the only one going at the moment: https://www.periscope.tv/w/1rmGPPEpObdGN

 

It was going strong when Axl was on, but it is starting to cut in and out. I am not sure if it will last all the way through.

Go away you are bad luck.
