DexAxl Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 OMFG Japan and Australia before Europe? I fucking hate Axl or tour manager, you can't give us one or two shows in O2 Arena or something after summer tour and AC/DC dates in USA? Fuck off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 (edited) I thought they would have played South America last on the simple premise that they are guaranteed to sell-out everywhere in South America - if the act consisted of Frank and Dizzy relieving themselves on stage, the crazy Brazilians would turn up in droves - and that Europe is not so guaranteed, and would still need to rely on publicity, hyperbole and sheer impetus. By 2017, Europe will feel a bit neglected to say the least. Europe and North America are basically your two premier markets but they are both markets you have to work and sell yourselves a bit - less so, South America and Asia where you just simply have to turn up.

IncitingChaos Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Axl is a machine if he survives this run...nearly 3 hour shows playing gnr hits for 2 years is enough to kill some people, throw in about 20 ACDC shows for laughs and good times and the guy is going to be exhausted.

Juventino Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Makes sense given what they want to do with stadium shows. Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been numerous rumours about that spot since lemmy passed away. I think Motörhead and friends. Slash and Duff could be in with that.

Towelie Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 The hype for this reunion petered out almost before the tour even began. The whole Axl/DC shit has only further made this reunion a non-event. If they ain't going to do a new album, then fuck em, I ain't going to see that shit again. I wouldn't be surprised if the 2017 European shows were only half/three quarters full. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonok Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Fuck yeah! Add this to the new album that they will make and I've got myself a perfect summer next year! P.S. I love how Japan is going to be in February, just like '92. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wanted to release new GN'R musics but nothing happened… Sad but true GN'R is a live act only band since 2009.

Archtop Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Fits with the persistent rumours that they will headline, Isle of Wight and Download in 2017, also read somthing about two other UK dates which were in the same time frame. Will go on a hunt for details, didn't pay much attention at the time. Have to say I agree with the need for new material by 2017 it's going to be wearing thin if they want to fill shows. Perhaps they will just stick to festivals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not sure about South America cause the air tickets are too expensive, so well most prob. I will try for Australia or Japan, the tickets for them are expensive too but still cheaper than South America, I will be waiting for more updates, but at least I have a rough idea about whats going on so I will plan according to that.

The whole Axl/DC shit has only further made this reunion a non-event. Gotta agree. Still happy its happening, but god damn if I wasn't already over it once Vegas was done. The fact that it had been brewing long before it happened, then was finally announced but just Coachella. Then some scattered dates including Vegas. It was kind of cool there, cause we all assumed where it was going but they weren't speaking or saying anything, so those April shows were gonna be really cool. Then they did the surprise show, which kind of sucked a lot of the excitement out of the rest of the shows IMO. At least that initial build up. THEN they announced all the tour dates, before ANY of the April dates got played. They kind of just kept undercutting themselves. Any exciting thing that was announced was then kind of lessened when they announced something else. Vegas got pounded with reality checks with the club show, the tour being announced, AND then Axl breaking his leg the morning of the show (at least the announcement coming then). Vegas was fun because there was still a significant amount that hadn't seen them. Even Coachella was kind of undercut by the AC/DC announcement. Still looking forward to the shows I'm seeing, but I agree I'm WAY less hyped than I thought I'd be for this monumental tour. I'm glad I indulged in Vegas, cause that was at least a culmination of a lot of things. Whereas everything since has left little to get INCREDIBLY excited about. It seems like the most blasé "take over the world" reunion, when I really thought they were gonna set the world on fire. I feel like the tour's old news already, and it hasn't even started. IMO, the only way to really keep interest up would be to change setlists night to night, and I'm not expecting much in that department. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, the only way to really keep interest up would be to change setlists night to night, and I'm not expecting much in that department. Great post and pretty much mirrors my thoughts. I have to say that I wasn't sure about parting with hundreds of pounds to see them when they inevitably do a UK/Euro run but the AXL/DC show last night changed my mind. If Axl's singing and performing as phenomenally as he was last night for future GN'R shows it will be a sight to behold; especially as there's the huge added bonus of Slash and Duff being there as well. Media wise there does seem to a be a lot more buzz about the whole AXL/DC thing though and it's odd that Axl's doing some of the best shows of his career outside of GN'R! Plus, I think one of the things that got me excited about this AXL/DC run was seeing Axl doing a completely different set from the last few years even if it was singing another band's songs. I hope they do some stadium shows in the UK as I'm not a huge fan of festivals. That being said if they were announced as playing Hellfest I'd head back there in a heartbeat; I preferred the festival experience to Download when I went to see nuGuns there in 2012 and generally the lineups are more to my tastes than Download's.
