Guest siliconmessiah Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 (edited) As much as I love GNR. But is this tour just going to be another CD-tour, in support of a three year old album without promotion?Will there not be any news or anything? Or any new album? Is the tour forced or endorsed by Axl himself?Can somebody just throw the fans a fucking bone, or update the three year old homepage www.gunsnroses.com?Who the fuck is managing this wreck of a "band"?

Is the tour forced or endorsed by Axl himself?Can somebody just throw the fans a fucking bone?It appears the band is going on tour - that is a pretty big bone. The only bigger bone would be to release a new album.I don't really care about the other stuff that much. It doesn't matter to me if the tour is forced or not, if it is a cash grab, if it has promotion or not, if there are videos or not, how many interviews Axl does or not.New Music.Tour.After those two things, nothing else really matters to me.Sure, it would be nice to get an official statement from the band. But in the long run, that doesn't really mean that much to me. Music and touring - that's really all that is important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunnyDRE Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Who the fuck is managing this wreck of a "band"?At this point I think its pretty obvious. I agree with your sentiments, this tour will blow without new music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest siliconmessiah Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 (edited) Yeah. I am being serious here.I support GNR in their efforts and so on... But this is ridiculous. What the fuck is going on? Edited September 6, 2011 by siliconmessiah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick85 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I'm hoping for a miracle, which is new music. Otherwise, as much as I love this band, in this shitty economy a tour to support Chinese Democracy might make the 2002 tour look like a day at Disneyland.

But in the long run, that doesn't really mean that much to me. Music and touring - that's really all that is important.Would be nice if they combined those two, and followed it up with an album. Stuff that most bands tend to accomplish every few years, with good execution. What comparatively little GN'R accomplishes is done with poor execution. It's very hard to argue that and it is the source of most of the fans' frustrations.That said, I'll watch the show. Can't complain too much when you get a pro shot live stream. Those are few and far between. I'm sure it'll be a great performance by all involved. I've had very little to complain about with the four shows I got to see since 2006. That's about the extent of my expectations though. Doubt we'll see anything noteworthy from a hardcore fan's perspective, but at the same time just seeing the band perform and getting a pro shot show is an event in itself.

Nick85 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Would be nice if they combined those two, and followed it up with an album. I agree that their best bet is to release the next album and tour the states at the same time. Then again, they tried to do that in 2006, and we all know how that ended. Axl can't seem to do two things at once nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdHeartBreaker Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Live Streamed in HQ - across the world..Axl has his podium, its up to him what he does with it..a good ol' fashioned rant would go down a treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a bit of a shake up? look at the number of shows played with the same setlist..then compare?What do you all say?? Bets on the table??...change up of set list or same ol same ol show thats been done??? What about stage show? same old song and dance??Im betting there will be: No promotion..no press conferance..no interviews..no magazine exposures.. no website updates....but first and foremost no new music...naww thats way to easy of a bet. Thats me be in lazy and saying what is obviously predictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChineseDemocracy2004 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I think we are in for another CD tour, I hope I'm wrong though. I think that people will turn up to these shows because of this, especially in the U.S because they haven't heard the other songs from CD played live before.New material would be fantastic but another Guns N' Roses show with or without new material can also be fantastic .

KBear Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. There have basically been three tours since Axl came back and there were new tunes played at each. Unfortunately off the same album, but whatever.Someone posted a picture of a poster on page 3 of this thread: http://www.mygnrforum.com/index.php?showtopic=178772It's tough to read the print as the picture is really small, but I don't think I see the phrase "Chinese Democracy" used at all. Hopefully that's a good sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Miller Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I think it's pretty archaic to talk about touring in support of an album in this day and age. That said, I'd love to see them release an album to support the touring and merchandising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick85 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Does anyone else wonder if Axl has any clue how much the fans want him to release the next album during this tour? I'm honestly curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apollo Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 (edited) I saw the band twice on the CD tour and didn't get to hear Catcher, TWAT, This I Love or Prostitute. SO I'd be happy to just hear those songs live.Obviously we all want new songs. That's a given.But let's not throw out too much of a "bash Axl just for bashing Axl's sake" that a lot of you like to do. A LOT of the complaints on here were that Axl played toooooo much AFD and not enough from the albums released by the current band. So are the same people going to complain if Axl and Co. play 9 songs off of CD? You guys say the new band needs to stand on their own material and not only rely on AFD and Illusions.....so if they play 9-10 songs off of CD, will you come on here and say "OK, good job boys." Or will you just complain that they aren't playing any "new" songs?I think there are a group of guys who are going to complain no matter what Axl does. If they play 10 songs off of CD and ten brand new songs, the same people would be complaining "What the hell!!!! How come they dropped all of the old classics. Not cool. We want to hear the songs that made them famous." They are going to complain no matter what Axl does.If they come through my neck of the woods, I will go see them.And in my dream world, they would play Catcher, TIL, TWAT and Prostitute as well as a couple unreleased songs. And maybe a Civil War, Yesterdays and Estranged over Out Ta Get Me and Live and Let Die. Edited September 6, 2011 by Groghan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
