Has he commented about that recently? Again?

"It's January 10th, as far as I know, nothing has changed regarding 2020.

Not sure why some seem disheartened after seeing a social media update not meaning what they thought it meant.

Instead of focusing on that, remember that, as of now,  the upcoming tours aren't labeled as Not In This Lifetime. That surely must mean something?"

2019 was the lowest point as a GNR fan, at least for me. 

Of course 2004 and 2005 were better.

Still doesnt make it a good opener. The first song of a cd has to either be an intro or to kick ass.

Rewatched The Shield for the third time. Still ranks above Breaking Bad (but below The Sopranos) in the platinum age of problematic male lead television for me.

 

Epic show

You fucked it all up with the first song already. How can Madagascar be an opener?

That was nice of him to call the Polish people Nazis.

 

He'll still take their money of course.

You serious? He didn't call all polish people that but the scum who was on the street.

Two stadium runs? Did I miss a second leg of the stadium tour where they played the same cities again? 

Yes two stadium runs but with different cities. That's very obvious. Just like they did in Europe. 

I don't get the need to belittle the band all the time.

This is a very salient point.

Izzy might have wanted his "fair share" for the initial few shows.  And perhaps Axl, Duff, and Slash might have been open to the that possibility (just a guess on my part).  

But then the concern for Axl, Slash, and Duff was whether Izzy would be up for the amount of touring that they might have had in mind should those shows go well.  

If the assumption was that Izzy wasn't going to be on board for a multi-year, global tour, then the calculation might have been that they weren't going to cut him for a few big money shows if they were going to have to replace him with Fortus not too long afterward.  

Plus there's the optics of it all.  If Izzy had played with them at the Troubadour, the first couple of Vegas shows, Coachella, it would have given the fans the impression that the big four members were back on a permanent basis.  

It would have created a marketing issue should they proceed with a tour that Izzy wasn't willing to fully commit to.  

Forgetting the concerns about money, even from a logistical perspective I can see why Izzy wasn't part of the greater picture.  Again, that's all working on the assumption that Izzy wasn't interested in being apart of a multi-year, multi-continent tour.  Considering Izzy would pop up here and there with GNR and Slash and Duff, it's understandable why the key players decided on the path they ultimately took.  

I think that's a good and objective analysis

I’m sure money was a big issue for Izzy. But I just don’t see him touring full time going into year 5 anyways. 
 

But we don’t know the full story either. Original negotiations may have been for Coachella gig only. 

Some people think they know the whole story and are quick to blame the ones they don't like anyway

"I just don't think he wanted to do it. We tried to make it work, but it just didn't" 

Lolduff.... I'm sure Izzy would've done it if you guys were willing to pay him what he's worth. 

You know that as a fact?

Cool interview. Love Duff. The interviewer dodged away from the album question but that's cool. I guess we'll hear about that soon enough

There won't be concerts in stadiums during the NFL season

OK, so being able to sell out 50k seaters, then having to downgrade to 20k or less seaters because the market won't support the bigger shows is NOT a downgrade. Got it. 

Dude, when they tour in the winter, they're not gonna play stadiums, since its pretty cold then. So they go to arenas. Every band does that.

The part about his new perception of axl, vr being about touring and the reunion part was pretty interesting to read.

Have you ever been to a gnr show? Let me tell you: I've seen them all around the globe. Gnr has still a lot of die hard fans and those are pretty die hard. I don't think many bands these days have a core of die hards as guns do. 

Maybe 1% of them is on the forums.

Someone met Matt and he said he was offered a spot but the money wasn't right

They'd be making a big thing about it, surely? New artwork, new website design, new fonts, new name for the tour, etc etc. 

It would make no business sense whatsoever to not really really stress something was changing, surely? 

I don't think they would. Why would they? Gnr always likes to keep things in the dark.

If it was a TOTALLY new show, I'm convinced we'd know about it, and there wouldn't nee to be sly references to it in the promotional material of ticket agencies. 

How would we know about it?

A tour section for 2020 would be lit

Was there anything further about this Hardschool video? or was it just utter shite talk?

It was the song playing during credits of a Jackie Chan movie. So just total bullshit and a troll move

Was the Fermanager account that made the March 2020 claim on Reddit ever confirmed to be legit?

The idiot refused to answer that question.

Algorithms. Facebook knows you're a gnr fan and they'll send that message to everyone who has that interest

What did you click when you had to enter your code. I think there were two options and Ticketmaster made you select the wrong one. At least that's why I think it happened to me
