So much passive aggressiveness coming from one person. You need someone to love you i reckon.

Wow. I hope for you that your family won t consider you retarded and dumb if you happen to have a stroke. 

So you are better than people with Down Syndrom or other health issues? And don’t begin the drug argument. Slash took the same amount of drugs but he got off the drugs earlier and didn’t have a stroke for his fortune. 

Steven merits all the fans in the world as well as Izzy and the other 3 cause it was them who created the music.

Frank has nothing to do with GNR other than being hired by Axl to play. 

Insulting people cause of illness is beyond understandable. Incredible. Like in the 15th century 

Jeez, not what i said at all.

Steven just cant be taken seriously. He’s like this little (retarded) kid that everyone likes but nobody really wants anything to do with him cause he’s kind of dumb and embarrassing. Now how could they ever want someone like that to be a part of such a multi million dollar tour. Steven should know where his place is. Its playing appetite in front if a cpl hundred fans. If he’s lucky, axl and slash will let him play for a few minutes with them. 

These headlines are so ridiculous

There’s no footage of axl falling, right?

Still looks like his own mother

Coming from Finland with my girl. How is the venue?

 

Huge. And i think its a great venue. But people say the sound can be shitty. I’ve never seen a concert there though

Where is said that some shows in the second leg in USA sold poorly, because Pollstar doesn't said that, neither Billboard, in fact Billboard awarded NITL tour in November of 2017 as tour of the year and top draw .....and totally agree with you, by the way, in the lack of promotion thing. 

i dont remember the city, but for 1 or 2 shows they had to put the stage into the middle of the stadium cause half the tickets werent sold. That way it looked more packed.

Yes it was a huge success because axl and slash are back. Not because of great promotion or something like that. 

Some shows on the 2nd leg in the usa were poorly sold. Thats a result of not doing anything. You need gnr in peoples head. They need to see on tv or wherever what they could experience. You need to work hard for that stuff. Some shows in europe are far from being sold out. I know lots of people, who are into rock, who dont even know they’re coming. Why? No promotion whatsoever. No coverage, no nothing.

I think the primary issue with TB is they let Axl have full control and tip toe around him and do what he says very carefully.

No new music, radio silence, etc

I doubt its that. Axl more or less always had control. But back in the day he would be doing interviews and making sure the name is out there

Take that „that metal show“ interview for example. We’ve learned recently from the appetite for distortion podcast, that the infamous team brazil didnt tell axl that he was supposed to do an interview AFTER the show was over. I mean, thats just amateurish. No respectful and experienced management would do something like that.

And its full of geeks and nerds

Cause its stupid to be as passionate about any other band than Guns.

After watching the Podcast with Goldstein, one thing that stood out was what he said about TB. He said, if he was managing Guns, he would make sure, as he did in the Illusion days, that there wouldn’t be any empty seats left at any show by making sure the Band has news coverage etc.

What does it say about Beta and her kids? We have one of the biggest tours ever basically without any kind of promotion. Of course they know that the name GNR itself sells like shit and they wont have to spend extra money for promotion, plus they get they’re money anyway, even if the shows are only 50% sold out. Why not treat this massive, huge and worldwide tour like it should be. With love and passion and dedication.

Another thing: look at how poorly their social media is being handled. You get some lame ass boring 30sec promo videos from time to time, same cutting, same style, same everything. The same old boring pics of kat for every other show. Nothing exciting, nothing out of the ordinary, not interviews,  no behind the scenes shit. No information whatsoever. 

If beta and her kids had some respect for this band, they’d make sure they’re name is out there constantly, or at least from time to time. Holding out your hands and taking all the money and sitting on it and waiting until the next tour comes is not what it should be about and how it should be handled.

You can say about Doug Goldstein what you want, but he knew how to handle this band.

Just finished this. Lots of interesting stories. Gotta say, i have some new found redpect for the guy. He seems honest and straight up and puts a lot of things we know from the other parties into perspective.

some stuff i wanna point out though that kind of annoy me:

i bet the way you do your interviews is just the way you feel comfortable doing, but i find interviews way more enjoyable when i have the feeling that the interviewer and the interviewee are engaged into a real conversation. Of course you have to prepare beforehand and write down some questions. But i have the feeling all you do is concentrate on the millions of questions you have lying down in front of you and try to get every one of them out there. That leads to you sometimes not really listening to what the person has to say cause you’re too focused on your sheets and what youre gonna ask next, plus the feeling of a conversation gets totally lost. Its more of a question>answer thing. And i think people who get interviewed feel way more comfortable and respected and taken seriously, when your interviewer is really listening to you and throwing in some questions that result out of this discussion.

for example a few times doug said sth really interesting, you’re focussing on your papers and instead of going deeper into what he just said, you ask a totally different question thats related to a total different era. I felt that was kind of inconsistent.

not trying to nag here, but that’s just something i care and focus about personally when reading or seeing interviews 

other than that: keep up the good work and hopefully we’ll get to hear/see some more interesting people

I get your point, and if it's a good business arrangement for you then that's obviously a good thing. I don't even mind the super click bait type headlines, it's the quotes from the forum that bugged me. I have read some alright write ups on AN though, so it's not all good or bad.

I do however question why we're patting anyone on the back for correctly quoting someone? I mean, I know it's not always the norm with media outlets, but it is the job of a journalist to supply the correct context and quotation; and when we're talking about a clearly recorded 1-3hr long interview, there's not an awful lot of room for error.

Anyway!!! It was great to hear from Roberta, I always sing her harmonies and solo when I see GNR playing Heavens door  Interesting interview!  

 

I have to agree. I work as a journalist myself and find that bratt is a disgrace for journalism with the way he is executing his work.

Doesn't he have any teeth anymore?

I can't wait to listen to what prick Goldstein has to say at the gnr central podcast

i really enjoy the way you talk and your wittiness. Also you really listen and you can tell, you dont have a sheet of questions lying in front of you that you just go through point by point. And you dont start every question with „so...“. Thats refreshing 😀

Kurt Cobain suicides impacted Niravana more than their musical ability. Nirvana would have been no bigger than STP, AIC, or Soundgarden had Kurt lived. 

They would have been. And they were when kurt was still alive. Nevermind and especially teen spirit was a mass phenomenon.

Nice. I hope you confronted him with slash and duffs quotes, how he was responsible for the division of the old band

I love how he talks about whiners complaining about the late starts.
