CharlieSheen Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) Just a thought, but i think GN'R should start in the clubs in the U.S then slowly make their way up to arena's & stadiums, Edited February 13, 2013 by CharlieSheen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimb0 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I worry about their ability to sell tickets in NA. I mean the UCAP was really cool, but after the 2002 Tour, the 2006 Tour, Sporadic US Shows and the 2011-12 Shows can they actually sell out Arenas? Maybe Small theaters could be the way to go.I'm not trying to rank on them, I'm just worried.Ticket sales in Australia(bar Melbourne which they missed in 2010) have not been great either...Is it like SOS bad, or just Pretty bad? You put the same product out year after year... Especially the name but not the ingredients that make it up, the wool is not covering anyone's eyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Small theaters could be the way to go.I'm not trying to rank on them, I'm just worried.Its all in how you look at it. They will not sell 20K tickets per night in the USA... But they will sell 5-6K in medium markets and 10K plus in large markets. bottom line is will it be profitable for the band and the promoter? My guess is if they book the tour then the answer is yes, other-wise promoters wouldnt line up the shows. IMO the last USA tour seemed to go well, add the UCAP, Vegas residency and now they are headling a huge festival in NYC things are looking up in the USA which in the end could help the record company want to help with a new album. Its all a process Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volcano62 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 2001-2013 GREATEST HITS TOURfakeGNR sucks so much Don't say that!! According to Volcano, they are a real band and are not employees!Dude they are a bunch of guys playing music on stage with various instruments. They are a band whether you like them or not.Ahhhh but you were so quick to call Slash and Duff employees. Clear up the double standard and I will understand.Employees or not it's still a band. Even in 1993. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalsh327 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 The diminishing crowds isn't just because of lack of new music, it's also because they've kept touring. I think that was the down side of the residency, not making major changes with the setlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me they didn't do that! DJ Promised that each show would be unique and they would vary it up with special surprise songs! DJ wouldn't lie when it comes to Guns would he?

Nosaj Thing Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 They're a band, when Bumblefoot brought the WTTJ riff to the table I was blown away.

James Bond Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 The diminishing crowds isn't just because of lack of new music, it's also because they've kept touring.I think that was the down side of the residency, not making major changes with the setlist.I agree. The constant touring is over-saturating the market. Even if Axl never releases any new music and does "nostalgia tours" or whatever, it could still be successful if he tours less frequently. People just don't want to pay year in and year out for the same show over and over. 2006 and 2011 was a decent break from touring the US, but to do it again this year after having done the UCAP in 2012 and the Vegas Residency is when it starts becoming excessive. There's two ways to counter this - release new music, or tour less frequently in repeat markets.I'd actually rather them play smaller shows in most markets. Selling out a 5000 seat venue sounds better than having 6000 out of 12 000 seats filled in an arena, if that makes sense. As much as I enjoyed both shows I've seen in the last few years, it's disappointing to see the top of the arena curtained off and only the lower bowl filled. Even then, not completely.Some markets they can probably still pull off arenas (New York probably, and Toronto they sold out or close to it back in 2010), but they'd be wise to book smaller shows elsewhere and it would also be seen as a greater success.

According to Volcano, they are a real band and are not employees!They are a real band. Just because they don't do exactly what you want them to do exactly when you want them to do it doesn't make them any less of a real band.Maybe it's time to move on to something that does actually interest you and leave those of us alone who are happy with what the band is doing.So I must interest you then? Because if I didn't you would not waste you time on someone like me.

I'll wait to see if more shows are booked. Whether or not it will be headlining shows or some other form of a tour remains to be seen as well, if there is in fact a full-fledged tour.Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
