Read today's Billboard article,more dates might be added. Maybe they can't play LA now due to Coachella or at least not announce an LA date. There is zero chance that they skip LA. It'd be like The Goo Goo Dolls not playing Buffalo or The Mighty Mighty Bosstones skipping Boston. You may have to wait til next year but I'd bet you a Dead Dasies fan club laminate they play LA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new logo does not. Exactly, what people certainly cannot understand, is that this logo is iconic, it's everywhere, the new one, ugh not so much. Translation for the people here: I would wear a tshirt with the old logo but not with the one. Translation: the old one is better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caught_in_a_Coma Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Remember when about this exact time last year there was some serious speculation if Axl would do anything major again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They needed a big co-headliner to play these places when they were at their peak. And now people are talking about instant sellouts and second nights added? At 70 thousand seat venues?

I think they need one or two strong bands when they go out this Sunmer. To me,AIC isn't going to draw anyone. They play 2,000 seat venues. The GNR tour has the advantage now of a whole new generation or two of kids who were too young to see the real deal live back in the day and that alone will help them draw. I personally don't care if they have 10,000 or 100,000 people per stadium as long as the sets are long,Axl's voice is strong and hopefully varied by a (dare we hope for new material?)song or two from town to town.

For them to sell out football stadiums in north america is not that overly ambitious. Axl, Slash and Duff have not toured together since 1993 so there is a huge demand just from that (diehards and casual fans) I do agree that they will need solid openers though! I'm not sure who though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cory Trevor Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 This tour will sell 85 percent capacity and above, each date. AC/DC did so well with their new tour, because back ice was incredible, and they had dodged the public eye for awhile. They still sold a ridiculous amount of tickets on this current tour that Axl is gonna be involved with, and it can only help Guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only young bands I know who can pull in 10,000 people are A7X and Slipknot (both started in 1999ish) Edited March 26, 2016 by PsychoKiss344 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When G N' R were at their peak they had played 300-400 shows over the course of 5-6 years. They have played ZERO shows (with what the general public considers G N' R ) in the past 23 years. Get it? This is no longer a "die hard fanbase" band.(Nu Guns) This band has gone mainstream again with the addition of Slash and Duff..... and this tour is the most anticipated tour in decades. http://consequenceofsound.net/2016/01/the-25-most-anticipated-tours-of-2016/5/ These shows will sellout in hours. Maybe a day or two in the smaller markets. Edited March 26, 2016 by Kasanova King Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A7X and Slipknot both have very loyal fans who would probably come see them even as openers in a stadium. Skid Row or Scab Row as I say now,have had two singers since Solinger left. I don't even remember who the newest guy is but I think he sang for Dragonforce? I wouldn't go see them now as it stands unless it was free and there was a really good free buffet as well.

Plus most A7X and Slipknot fans like Guns N Roses, would have worked!! Yea last thing Skid Row did that was relevant for me was Slave To The Grind which is an awesome album!

Bono Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 The old logo does look better but unless they are sid eby side I'd have never noticed a difference. Now that I do though cancel the tour! It's all fucked up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncitingChaos Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Hopefully they role out dates soon so we can start preparing our schedules to make some shows, like it's been said before I see this as starting in late June-August. Maybe Axl does the ACDC thing between Coachella and the tour (I'd expect an announcement very soon from ACDC if that's the case) , but I think Slash has some stuff going on between that time too. Either way this is awesome I think every fan is genuinely excited to see this unfold. The graffiti "gnfnr" thing looks awesome too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italian girl Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 I can barely see the difference between the old logo and the new one Anyway.. I like this new massive promo campaign!! Finally, guns n roses "woke up".. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
