grogmug Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 I just want to know if we are getting some new material out of this? That would be icing on the cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphelmo Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Just think... If they want to sell out stadiums EVENTUALLY they'll need something more than just the Big 3. I guess they have new material to support with the tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swedish Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 I just listened to November Rain from Biloxi '92, Imagine Slash rippin' into that solo again! I can't wait for this tour to start! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slash97 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 The logo is better than the old one. Thank You TB by take care of us. Seriously though, who gives a fuck about the logo when we just got a major tour announcement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

LA_0013 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 (edited) All the promo is great and all, and I'd be stoked to see 'Welcome to the Jungle, GNR!' On my nearest billboard. But let's not forget Axl has been touring the name on and off for the best part of 20 years. Not saying it's a tainted brand by any stretch, and the reunion gives it a new edge - but imagine how real shit would have got if no-one had heard 'GNR' play since '93 Edited March 26, 2016 by LA_0013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CD drama kept their name in the media, even if not for good reasons. I mean imagine this kind of promotion with Led Zeppelin, I guarantee 50% of people wouldn't know who they are. 15 minutes ago, Blake Sabbath said: If you haven't been diagnosed already with chronic OCD than you should probably book an appointment with your physician post haste Feel the burn.

When Led Zep reformed for a gig in London's O2 arena back in 2007, the 20,000 tickets were sold via an online auction - and more than 1 million people registered which broke the site. The same would apply to any major city. For such a historic band, a reunion (in the proper sense of the word) after years away from the limelight can only increase curiosity, demand and long term fan fever, IMO 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'm saying is people on the street seeing the name, would they actually know who they are? Especially the 18-24 demographic. A lot of us young folk are apparently clueless to bands that existed before the 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus - to sell out a tour, it shows don't necessarily need to be full of 18-24 year olds. Cream sold out various nights at the Royal Albert Hall with next to no promotion, and I dare say most in the capacity crowd had grey hair and bald patches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megaguns1982 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Axl was never into any of the promotion shit after about 1990. duff and slash handled most PR shit back in the day, Glad to see that they are again, Im guessing duffs internet guys are on it now.

RussTCB Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Logo looks totally fine to me. I could be wrong, but I don't think it'll have anything to do with quality of performance at each concert either haha. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalsh327 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 They have a contract with AEG so they're going to probably play these venues: Barclays Center, Brooklyn San Diego Sports Arena (called Valley View Center Arena) Key Arena, Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to sit and wait tho, I´ve been going though it yet again: airfares, hotel expenses, et cetera. The hardest thing is that I got the money to go, but it just wouldn´t be a responsible choice, I need to keep some savings, just in case of shit happening… If a europe tour comes in fall or 2017 then I have some extra time to save, AND I will get extra value for money cause it'll all be cheaper and so I will be able to go to more shows Still, in all this excitement I get carried away. I want it now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juventino Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 If that article about Australian 2017 dates is correct (it did also say the tour would be announced in the upcoming days and that was correct), then could we see something like this? June - September 2016 - USA November - December 2016 - South America January/February 2017 - Australasia Summer 2017 - Europe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
