Who might inherit Axl's stake in Guns? That person would likely orchestrate a posthumous release or three further down the road.

Beta

Slash should arm wrestle Axl and Fernando at the same time, with the winner gaining full control of Guns N' Roses.

Slash would win, and there'd be 32 new albums in the next five years.

Most paranoid band and management in history.

I was on the fence about whether to see them at Fenway Park. Now, I'm certain that I will not. They don't deserve my money. Fernando Lebeis is the most incompetent business manager the music industry has ever seen.

New album before the end of this calendar year, otherwise I think I'm done caring.

The tour starts in less than a month.. Does anyone even care? Did any tickets sell?  I haven't even been looking. I feel like this is the least anticipated Guns tour ever.  I have tickets for the second show and could care less. I have been holding onto them for two years and it is on a Tuesday night.  The band isn't doing anything to stir up any excitement. They are all 5 years older.. I expect Axl to look and sound like shit and use the show as a rehearsal.  Ridiculous hats and elf boots included. They will still have the same half assed lineup complete with a terrible drummer and a blue haired anime bobblehead.  

I could care less if this lineup ever released a song. No interest in anything that includes Fortus, Frank or the Bobblehead. Axl sounded like crap on CD never mind now and I have no interest in any music that sounds anything like CD.

For me the highlight of the "reunion" were the live shows. They have been a blast . I could watch Slash play those classics all day long but I couldn't be more indifferent about this show coming up. You would think it would be the total opposite since Covid stifled live shows for so long. 

Is anyone jacked up about the tour?

 

So you have tickets for Fenway Park?

I bought them last year, then got a refund after the show was cancelled. Had good seats, behind the visitors' dugout. I still think about buying tickets for the rescheduled show, but either the band, management, or Ticketmaster had the audacity to increase ticket prices over last year. It would cost me over $700 to get the same three seats I had last year, and for what? Another "greatest hits" show?

You're right, the band is older, and there's no magical elixir for Axl's voice. About the only thing that would compel me to go is the promise of new material, and there's not even been a hint of it.

Is it coming out ?

I think at this point, no.

Unless they wait until the 31st anniversary, as they did with Appetite.

Somehow, this does make me more optimistic that the goal is new music.

The first show in July should be the telltale sign.

If they introduce a new song, everything points to a new LP, or EP.

If they play the hits and a few deep cuts from yesteryear, it’s another nostalgia tour, and there’s nothing new coming.

That’s why I’m on the fence about going to the Fenway show. I don’t need a rerun of the Gillette Stadium shows from 2016.

I had a vivid dream last night that Izzy was rejoining the band.

Somehow, I got backstage at a show, and Slash told me. He also gave me a bunch of free stuff, and signed the back of the shirt I was wearing.

That's how I knew it was a dream when I woke up. GN'R doesn't give anything away for free.

Susan said on the last podcast that this cover will be included on the next record.

I’d like to hear a cover of “Love Will Keep Us Together” by Captain and Tenneille next

The “Live n’ Let Die With COVID-45” t-shirt.

Total embarrassment.

I was too young in the 70’s to remember Queen’s popularity in the United States. All I know is that Flash Gordon was the beginning of the end for them, and they were virtually a non-factor in the 80’s.

If this was a U.S. based poll, Queen might reach the round of 16, but no further.

I'm sort of beginning to not care anymore. Never thought I would say that, but after all the excitement of Slash and Duff's return, nothing has manifested itself in the form of new music.

A person starts to look back at what could have been with this band, especially with it's incredible early success. If you are old enough to remember 1991, you remember the frenzy and anticipation of the Use Your Illusion records, and that GN'R were the undisputed biggest band in the world.

Perhaps it was wrong to think that things would echo that period of time with Slash and Duff back in the fold. I thought there would be an equal share between them and Axl. Maybe there is, but it's management that has slowed everything down to a snail's pace.

Either way, the band has lost all the momentum it had during the reunion tour.

lol, don't forget the toy truck!!!

Sure!!! And that amazing laundry bag!!!!

I have both the toy truck (Christmas gift), and the laundry bag (purchased myself).

No regrets. Two of the more unique items that used to be in their merch store.

Aside from the AFD related box sets, everything they're selling now is garbage.

and obviously in a new scene he's eating pie with scooby doo and the others...

The episode concludes with Axl and the gang sitting around a campfire, singing "One In A Million"

Down the road, I envision Axl guesting as himself on an episode of Family Guy, where Peter becomes the third keyboard player in Guns N' Roses and fights the big yellow chicken, thinking it's Buckethead.

At this point I think there will be new Elvis music before GNR music

I think Edward Van Halen will be resurrected, and release new music with VH before GN'R release anything

I have tickets in Detroit for my dad and I, July 2021. Rescheduled from 2020.

Sorry you won't be going. I hope you'll opt for a refund this time.

Maybe without any cash coming in from touring, the band will release new music. Doubt it, though.

No.

Well, if that’s the case, it’s going to delay any album release for another nine years or so.

On the first day of Christmas, Guns N' Roses gave to me

NO NEW ALBUM

And Fernando cackled with glee

Finally, they've brought back the one merch item that every GNR fan has always wanted.

Get ready to have a Merry F'N Xmas, FAM! For only $100 plus tax and shipping, this glass ornament that looks like it was made by a small malnourished Asian child could be yours! Get it while it lasts!

 

The same one was available last year, and it "allegedly" sold out.

As far as the other holiday items revealed today, there's not a single thing that interests me. Both the sweaters look wretched. They should have made last year's sweater available again, it actually looked great.

The band's catalog does contain a number of November releases, and it does make the most sense to release something right before Black Friday. However, releasing a new album is most likely contingent on whether Axl's boy Joe Biden is able to cheat his way to the presidency. Axl probably dedicated a love song to him for the new record.

😭 just release some music!!!!!

What’s with the moon symbol?

It means Axl is going to move to the moon if Trump wins re-election

as always they are late to the party, many other bands are selling branded masks since month...

i don't even get that hype, it's a health item and not some fashion piece

I’d buy the yellow one if it was made in America, but I suspect it is not. 

If you are a Republican/conservative, it’s the insanely stupid “Live N’ Let Die With COVID-45” shirt that killed the band for you.
