xBrownstonex Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) Okay, didnt know that. But in in my experience, radio stations aren't the ones who announce the big stuff. But i pray i am wrong. Edited May 18, 2017 by xBrownstonex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if it's next week and a one time thing out of the blue that's pretty shitty for all the fans who will once again miss out like they did at the Troubadour. If it's after the next tour leg, wont that hurt their ticket sales? I would think most fans will want to hold out for the AFD5 show and skip all these upcoming shows with Fortus & Frank... I don't care if I don't get to see it in person, an AFD 5 show needs to happen. Was it "shitty" that only a handful of lucky people got in to the Troubadour? I didn't see it that way. They were lucky. There's no way to make something special and a surprise and also "fair." I'd rather that it happens at all instead of the attitude of "Well, we ALL don't get to go so fuck it." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could easily announce a big AFD5 show a week in advance and sell it out. It would still be a surprise and would still be special. Sure not everyone will be able to attend but at least they would have a chance to go instead of random people that probably couldn't pick Izzy or Steven out of a lineup if their lives depended on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estrangedtwat Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I don't see how that's any more fair than the Troubadour show. Yes, it sucks that people were there that didn't "deserve it" but that's life. Unless Team Brazil comes here and gives us all a quiz to see who the biggest mega fan is, and lets the top scorers in based on the results, there's always gonna be people at shows that aren't as big fans as people who didn't get in.

The Holographic Universe Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 An AFD5 reunion is the true "not in this lifetime" event. It won't happen. Izzy's doesn't give two shits and Steven has been exiled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padme Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I think we have to hope for the best but prepare for the worst. The worst could be as I said some irrelevant interview with Melissa, a remaster AFD edition, or a new DVD from some previous shows 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asia Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Probably some AFD anniversary celebration not necessairily even with the AFD 5. But there'll be an additional show with free tacos, free burgers and extra fireworks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spirit Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 It's highly likely a show announcement. Question is, why weren't the LA show(s) announced together with the bulk of NA-dates earlier? A couple possibilities: - No particular reason, just negotiations made it that way. - This is the AFD anniversary show(s) which could be club shows or the original lineup, or both.

The coolest thing they could do outside of the AFD5 reunion but would be the riskiest would be to announce a LA show that will stream live on MTV (or any other channel I would hate to interrupt Teen Mom's time slot) it would be crazy to do in the middle of a tour but the excitement of seeing Guns N Roses on tv would be great for all fans. The risk is of course Axl, he'd have to bring it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would they announce anything 'huge' on a radio station though? Or anything we'd consider huge anyway? I don't seem to recall them having done so before? I may be wrong, just asking. Well as we have seen, with this band you never know! anything is possible. Things are not what I would call predictable with Gun N' Roses as they never do things the way normal bands do things so you can expect the least likely things. Always a weird band this band was 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
