illusionone Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 This type of stuff is aggravating. The quote us speculation at best. Nothing concrete stating that the band is going to tour.http://www.waaf.com/blogs/waaf-news/guns-n-roses-working-100-million-world-tour-48621
Frozen Inferno Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 The most profitable tour ever made??
IncitingChaos Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 I think they are saying the tour will be in the 9 figure number, not that that will be the exact amount. They will make 100 million in South America alone haha
Billsfan Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Speculation, doesn't tell or confirm anything for certain but the more and more stuff pretty much shows that something is in the works...Maybe they are waiting for Slash's official divorce after all? 1
rocknroll41 Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Can I get an AFD reissue on vinyl with the original Rob Williams painting as the cover art and a bonus DVD with the Toledo '88 gig in HD with my GnR reunion?
RandallFlagg Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) I'm caught in 2 minds, I don't want to see ancient Axl and Slash onstage ignoring Chinese Democracy or Axl utterly abandoning any sequel notions nor do I want Slash's solo work or Velvet Revolver just swept to the side, what's the point of that? But I also don't want to see Axl turning up in South America then Vegas again with Thing 1 and Thing 2 replacing members I'd just got around to accepting on Album 2 and playing fucking CD, WTTJ, IT'S SO EASY AND MR BASTARD BROWNSTONE again... and hoping for fucking 14 Years or Riad for a sign of progress.

It's way too soon to make an announcement.Who knows if it'll happen?
IZZYISGNR Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) All the media are talking about the potential reunion...This potential Guns ‘n’ Roses reunion tour could be the greatest thing since some Cro-Magnon pioneer whacked one rock off another and made fire. On the other hand, it could be the biggest disaster since the same Cro-Magnon, five minutes later, set fire to the entire forest then covering Northern Europe.6 reasons why a Guns 'n' Roses reunion tour would rock like hell: http://www.independent.ie/entertainment/music/6-reasons-why-a-guns-n-roses-reunion-tour-would-rock-like-hell-31546118.html Edited September 22, 2015 by IZZYISGNR 1
Mr. Dude Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 This makes me think that Tristan Thompson should definitely not get a max deal. The market for a classic GNR reunion is surely larger than the Cavs need for a back-up power forward. 1

Bumblefeet Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) The money is the biggest incentive to do the reunion tour, even if it's just the one-off tour and nothing else will come from it. If NuGuns and CD II have been put on hiatus -and this looks to be the case, not much is happening- it would make sense that with such an offer still on the table for the Illusions lineup and everyone talking again, that tour alone would earn them more in a year than their solo careers would for the rest of their lives. And I know there are many factors that can still prevent it from happening and one of them is time. The time to do it would be now and they know it. No one will want to see 60 year olds do a GnR reunion lol. And even after they've ended the reunion tour, they could continue their solo careers (now boosted again) and perhaps still come back later on. Edited September 22, 2015 by Bumblefeet
dalsh327 Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 The only reason to do a reunion is for people who never got to hear the band the first time around and for the band to have some sort of closure. 1
Majestic Beast Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) Did Axl care about more money?,is that the case for him to do reunion tour and then after that tour,will do another new line up and another tour for CD II? Something doesn't make sense here.Someone throw a rumor without source,then all media copy,so boring. Edited September 22, 2015 by Majestic Beast
Mao5 Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 it's not a fantasy, it can happen. it's gnr's last chance to generate that kind of profit.
Majestic Beast Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 If Axl dont care about money as some ppl say,then,do the reunion and just take 500 dollars for every concert or take the money and give it to people they needed.
RussTCB Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 If Axl dont care about money as some ppl say,then,do the reunion and just take 500 dollars for every concert or take the money and give it to people they needed.I think the general idea is that he wouldn't want to do it in the first place. So money wouldn't be a motivating factor to get him to do something he doesn't want to. 1

I bet we'll get a box set or something at some point. 1
RandallFlagg Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 It's weird with Axl, he could have made a lot more money doing different things at this point, he hasn't shown any sign of relenting on his deranged and somehow noble visions, he has shown nothing to suggest he is warm to a reunion, he has shown lack of commitment to a future with the GNR he created again from the ground up twice, but he hasn't suggested he will stop tinkering with the sequel. He's obviously not lacking for money nor is it his sole drive, this man said 'not in this lifetime' and refused to attend the rrhof for his own achievements... I cannot see him just reneging for a reunion because there's a fortune out there, I don't believe he is driven by monetary gain as the primary objective, it's interesting cause if he tours the same CD tour, one crowd says he's only in it for the dough, yet if he went for a reunion, that would compound that sentiment by a million per cent more. 1

IncitingChaos Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Honestly it feels like reunion or retire at this point. I don't think anyone imagines Axl rebuilding nugnr. It's kinda crazy when you think about it. It's all or nothing now. No more pointless touring or whatever. It's go big or stay home at this point, at least that's the hand I imagine Axl is looking at right now.
RandallFlagg Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) I can see that point, it's how he rationalizes it in his mind that intrigues me, I can't see how he releases a sequel now but I can't really believe he would go in for a reunion with the trench he dug and invested a fifth of his life in, and half-succeeded with his mad persistence yet failed to build upon it once he began reaping the harvest so to speak. Edited September 30, 2015 by RandallFlagg
Frozen Inferno Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 if nothing happens this year then axl is definitely planning to retire.
SoNobodyToldYaBaby Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 I just heard on the radio that Guns N Roses will play Slane Castle next year... A venue they played at the height of their popularity.. I would literally shit myself if this really happens..
