sascha Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 The mail also says people are gettng a full refund for any tix purchased in advance.With the popularity of the german Rock am Ring show from 2006 I don't see how a theatrical screening of a Guns show would tank because of lack of interest, maybe technical problems or just poor promotion? I haven't seen a single ad for these screenings other than a trailer on YouTube.London wasn't the best gig anyway, maybe they just want to come up with something better, perhaps a best of the Vegas residency?

Freddie Mercury's Ghost Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I wonder if the production company is trying to cut their losses by releasing this overseas without the band's involvement - it probably cost a shitload of money to travel to the concert/film the concert, and not being able to take in revenue on the live web stream like they planned might be hurting their company.

Lollapalooza Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Its because they went promoting it without management aproval, German will have it in cinemas, just in time, like the rest of the world... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bacardimayne Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I can't really see how anyone thought this was a good idea.1. I can't imagine there's much of a market anywhere in the world for pre-recorded concerts in movie theaters2. It's Guns N' Roses, not a big popular pop act that kids are willing to go watch3. It's New GNR, a band perceived as a joke by the general public4. Axl sounded awful in the trailers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And although such events will never generate income like movies, they are cool events with relatively small costs that lure people in the cinemas and remind them of them; a critical aspect for the cinemas nowadays.

Guest Gunns Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I went to the cinema I purchased tickets for the showing on november 7th today, and they said that there will be only 1 screening and only two tickets have been sold so far (the 2 I purchased)...not surprising really considering there's been zero promotion about it.
