From what I can tell, the Maxfield stuff was from a pop up shop and is now "available for the first time ever online", meaning they inevitably had piles of shit left over that they couldn't sell.

I like the 'Guns N' Roses Was Here' cap. Appears to be sold out, which I guess is proof that it wasn't too gaudy looking.

From my perspective, the band is making up for years of missed opportunity. I certainly have been the optimist about a new record, and while I was disappointed that 2019 didn't bring anything new, these tour dates (without "Not In This Lifetime" attached) would strongly suggest, in my opinion, that they will be touring in support of new material.

January 31st is interesting, because with it being the first show since NITL ended, I would fully expect something new to be introduced, especially to an audience in town for the Super Bowl. It would definitely cause media buzz.

I happen to like this puzzle, and will buy it if I don't receive it as a gift for Christmas

A band whose debut album was impossible to ignore. A real rock n' roll record in an era otherwise dominated by hair metal.

Swagger of the Rolling Stones, vintage guitar crunch of Aerosmith and AC/DC, attitude of The Sex Pistols. They took these elements and managed to be unique.

As said by others, a band greater than the sum of its parts.

Even in 2014 when it was announced that Duff would replace Tommy for a couple of shows, the ticket sales basically didn’t improve at all. Axl and Duff played to a half empty second division football team stadium here in Argentina.

It was always about Slash. Even if you loved the CD era (which I did, and do), that’s just the plain truth.

I agree 100%.

Axl could have brought Duff, Izzy, and Steven back into the fold for Not In This Lifetime, and it wouldn't have succeeded as much as it did having Slash back.

Axl/Slash is what Jagger/Richards, Page/Plant, Tyler/Perry, and Roth/Van Halen were to their respective bands. It makes all the difference.

The Super Bowl is on FOX this year - they legally wouldn't be able to broadcast Mickey Mouse on live television

Actually, Disney bought FOX, which is why The Simpsons can be streamed on the new Disney Plus service. The only part Disney didn't acquire in the deal was FOX News.

So technically, Mickey could make an appearance if he wanted to

I hope next year touring is because of new music.

We've still got a month left in 2019, the possibility of new music this year still exists. I strongly believed the band would release something new this year, and while there's been no whispers of that actually occurring, it's not impossible.

In 2020? Yes, I think any touring will be accompanied with new material, whether it be one song, a few, or a whole record's worth.

They also throw in the red AFD cassette in both bundles 

I didn't notice that. They should sell it seperately for like $10. I already have the L N' L boxset, so I'm not in the market for the vinyl bundles. I got the Appetite cassette in blue at Target last holiday season.

The merch website's been updated with a bunch of new things:

Christmas sweater!

Ornaments!

Puzzles of the two Appetite album covers, plus Use Your Illusion I and II (I like these)!

Also new are seperate shot glass/vinyl bundles. One features  all four LP vinyls from the Locked N' Loaded set. The other has all the 7" singles from Locked N' Loaded. Surprisingly, they are affordably priced.

Check it out.

I think it finally concludes tonight. If the rumors are to be believed, there's a new album coming by the end of March, so there's no reason to call the next tour "Not In This Lifetime", right?

Sure, in the eyes of most fans, it dragged on for too long with generally repeated set lists. Still, it was just about four years ago when we learned that Axl and Slash had mended fences, which led to the speculation that there could be a reunion. Something that seemed impossible for so many years. So, when you look at it that way, every time they take the stage together, it is a gift.

Yeah, my wife ordered it, too. It came with the same trucker hat, the You're Crazy Lies shirt and stickers. 

I'm sorry she got that shirt, unless she likes it. That and the shirt that repeats "Lies" over and over are the two shirts I absolutely did not want.

I got my laundry bag mystery bundle today, and was pleasantly surprised by it's contents.

I got the white/green ringer tee that reads "Guns N' Roses Appetite For Destruction" on the front. Also received the white trucker hat with the logo embroidered on the front.

They threw in two stickers, one of which is now my avatar. The other is a sticker of the banned Appetite cover.

Was really impressed with the laundry bag itself. The canvas material is pretty rugged, and the bullet logo is larger than it looked on the merchandise website.

I'd post pictures, but I can't figure out how to post URL's, wish I could just copy and paste.

Worth the money I spent, in my opinion.

Also, they shd include the other band members.  Reinforces the idea that everyone else is just a hired hand 

My thought, also.

It's definitely Fernando. Just look at how he reacts when people shit on the laundry bags and toy trucks...

My laundry bag should be shipping next week. Imagine if it came with a code for a download of a new tune?

rumors are: march, 20, 2020. 

An EP with Better, CD, Atlas, Quick Song or Hard School. 

 

Rerecord the whole damn thing on UYI production level.

I'm sticking with what I've been saying for months: we're going to get something new this year.

I'm thinking there will be a physical copy of something available either November 22, or November 29 (U.S. Black Friday).

If something doesn't hit by the end of November, then it'll be 2020.

Bob Erzin produced Music from the Elder by Kiss. I guess that must mean something ...

He first worked with KISS on 'Destroyer', which is widely regarded as their best album.

To answer one question here, Slash didn't just talk GNR. They spoke at length about the Conspirators recent tour before getting into Guns-related stuff. I couldn't transcribe the entire thing. Sorry. Would have just taken too long. They spoke for roughly half hour. I just tried to get the record-related details since that's what so many of us are clamoring for.

My impression after listening is that they have been working on music together while in town. And my guess is not just recently, but likely in the last year-plus. And I think a new release is imminent. Famous last words, I know. But something's gotta give. I'd love a surprise drop. Wake up to news a new single hit Spotify or something nuts like that.

I ordered one of those GN'R duffel bags on the merchandise website. Included with the bag is a t-shirt and hat. The reason I ordered it is that, while I'm probably wrong, is the possibility that maybe the t-shirt and hat could be promoting something new. Will I be displeased if it ends up being some t-shirt and hat that's been on the website for two years? Probably. But I took the chance because at least the duffel bag is a nice piece of memorabilia. Just maintaining some hope that we will get some new music this year.

Listening to it now, for the second time.

Not really getting into it. Axl's vocals sound pro-tooled to death. Also not a big fan of sudden chord changes.
