Stress Fracture Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 It wouldn't surprise me if this turns out to be a lap of honour and we get the final shows in 2017. Which is how it should be if they're not going to bother with new music. This setlist will quickly outstay its welcome just like it already had long ago with the previous line-up.

NoNameThe1st Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 There is no hybrid. Whomever owns the property can put a band out to play. The whole thing has been a hybrid then, the lineup changed many times, just between 86-91. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never know with Axl it can be 20 years and it can be 2 years. True, at this point they don't need to do anything so everything is a bonus. The big 3 are doing it for the fans and some sense of unfinished business. I feel like they could write the final chapter of GNR with a new record. Dicktubes or Bust: The final cocktail.

Slash in his band can even make him delay even more worst case scenario. Like if Slash comes up with a brilliant idea why not just tinker with it some more? Fortus said there are 3 albums worth of material and we don't even have an album title. If another album sees the light of day I don't think it will happen before 2020. Seems like that will be the year that if nothing comes out I'll start to complain even more. This line up needs some time to make money and tour. Then Slash will have to deliver in the studio, I believe he will bring it. I don't know what Axl's intentions are but I suspect ideally, he'll want to release one more Guns album but he won't release a shit album so it will probably take some time to make it work but maybe I'm wrong. I could see the second half of CD being left behind. And maybe them working on a new album. Maybe using some Axl, Dizzy and Fortus material but really working the Slash/Duff material. Maybe like UYI where you had Axl n Izzy stuff but then also Slash and Duff songs. But we've seen with Chi dem, Better, TIL, Twat how Slash can quickly do his take on CD era material and it's ready to roll. It's always the competing with the past element and releasing an album that impacts that hold things up. It has to be right. No filler can pass. It has to be from the heart and capture the spirit of where they are at. In my opinion of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janrichmond Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I think this is it,this tour maybe a live album then they carry on as before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanity_lost Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Well, if it turns out my dreams are prophetic then Duff and Slash are in GNR to stay. An album will be dropped toward the middle of the tour. Duff and Melissa are the lead vocals. This tour is only a set up for a change of hands type thing to get people used to the new direction. Axl brought Duff and Slash back into the GNR partnership so they could take back control of the band and he could become a silent partner. Axl is retiring to play with sea turtles. It is a good thing I don't have prophetic dreams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as axl keeps sounding great and the boys are enjoying themselves things will be fine. But I also think continuing beyond next year without new music would be a tough sell for keeping this band relevant to the high standard they are now with the stadium tour. Keep in mind all toured CD for 14 years... I want, hope, and expect new music too but I can easily see GnR going for years without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Sage Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 (edited) I think this Hybrid GnR just might,might lead to a new album.I think it's clear there's gonna be a live album soon.New material is coming how can it not with this fresh line up that's beginning to catch on?

You think Geffin is gonna let any of these concerts go without recording at least 1 or 2 dates? A Not In This Lifetime live album seems to be a no brainier for the label.

DexAxl Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I really hope Slash and Duff will stay, Slash didn't needed GNR to make money he have another band and solo career where he can make money. Imo Axl want to make something really big, he always wanted to make GNR to be new great rock band like Led Zeppelin or Queen in other hand Slash and Duff wanted just to play hard rock like AC/DC for 40 years and don't change shit(no disrespect to AC/DC but really every song is same from beginning to end). So maybe they can find it somewhere in the middle i will like old school stuff mixed with anything Axl have on his mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's fun and they get creative and fans dig it, this train may run for a long time. If it bombs out, then all the more reason to enjoy the summer.

Tourettes2400 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Hopefully they last until Izzy and Steven come back. As long as it last the whole tour we can see what else can happen. I am just happy to have most of my childhood heros back together for 1 tour, as of right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNRmello77 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Well i don't see Richard frank and dizzy going anywhere, Axl it depends on what he has planned, Duff and Slash will commit to their other projects during downtime with Guns but it's Axl Who has the Final say in what Guns will do because if he doesn't wanna make New music or something i think Duff and slash will put full attention to their other stuff and Just move on within 2 years?

Modano09 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I think if it were a goodbye tour they would've paid Izzy whatever he wanted and hired Dr. Drew, Dr. Phil or whatever else it took to keep Adler coherent for a tour. This feels like it's testing the waters with the possibility of continuing on under the GNR name if all goes well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwerty123 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 It's easy to imagine Slash just going back to his band after this. He was doing just fine before this reunion. But then again, Myles is also part of another band and works with both Alter Bridge and Slash. So if he can be involved in two bands, surely Slash can too. I don't think being too busy has ever been a problem for Slash! On the other hand, I don't see how Axl could possibly hire another guitarist under the name Guns N' Roses and have most fans' acceptance. It was passable before because "this is the best we're gonna get!" but now that we've been spoiled with Slash & Duff, there's no going back imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 Interesting point. Keeping Frank and Fortus might be security if Slash and Duff leave. Power, control, smart, not in this lifetime, never say never, combo guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you have to remember Slash hasn't been playing huge festivals like RIR like Axl has with Guns. And his divorce just took half. He has kids. But yes a Guns side of Slash rockers, n' a Roses side of Axl songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
