Live Like a Suicide Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 (edited) This band doesn't excite me anymore, and their marketing and PR are shit. Edited April 30, 2018 by Live Like a Suicide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Guns N' Roses, the way they operates now, reminds me of a certain sporting administration body which has particular interest for me - I'll not bore you with the details. Very impersonal, corporate and ''filtered'', as if there is this big wall between the band and their public profile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tadsy Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I'm not falling for it this time. Not after the 30th anniversary promo that ended up nothing! I've been let down too many times. Theres no way in hell this is a reunion for a one off show. It makes NO sense to do this now. more likeky one of the following 1. Radio channel with bits and bobs plus all the albums on rotation (whoopdey do) 2. AFD remastered (whoopdey do) 3. Nothing - just like the billboards in time square that lead us all on only for it to be a few more gigs. 4. New merch on top of a repackaged AFD to celebrate it (the timing is still weird if it's this) im prepared to put everything I've got on it that it's not an AFD5 show.

jamillos Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Yeah, I think it’s just the upcoming shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Guapo Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 (edited) More tour dates with current line up or AFD re-release with no extra content at all but a shitty, way too loud remaster. Edited April 30, 2018 by El Guapo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparka Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 (edited) I know there's a lot of (valid) scepticism about this, but it would be a pretty low blow for the band/TB to specifically use the imagery of the original 5 members for something that doesn't directly involve Izzy and Steven. All other promo seems to have consistently included just Axl/Slash/Duff.. I'm sure I've even seen skulls of Melissa/Frank/Fortus included in promo/merch previously.. I guess I'm just saying this to rule out theories of more tour dates or activities involving the NITL lineup.

Shalalaknees Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Just made a little research: the domain name gnr.fm was registered march 21 and belongs to Universal Music... So it seems to me that it’s more likely to be some kind of remaster / reissue (they would never use AF5 artwork for new music and touring is up to LiveNation...)

An AFD re-release seems most likely, but it's generic. Of course many people will buy it, and that's what the management would be hoping for. But people who have been following the band through the wilderness years, the Chinese years, and through the reunion years - us - have been left out in the cold. I'm not very interested in a re-release of an already perfect 31 year-old album, but then again, i am not the target audience.

RussTCB Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I'm glad everyone seems to be calming down and realizing this is probably just an AFD re-release. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Its Tino Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I don’t even think it means an AFD remaster. They’ll probably stream 1 show on that site. And we’ll be right back where we were last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvanG Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I don't know how the tickets for the upcoming tour are selling, but many places have probably not sold out yet. So far they haven't done a lot of advertising, so now a few months before the tour they are probably starting. Last week there was a discount action deal for tickets to the show in my country announced through a press release. Coincidence? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe universal music trying to take advantage of upcoming shows for whatever they are advertising. Why would universal music advertise for a tour where Live Nation and the band get the revenue? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koldweather Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 My guess is a London show as a warm up gig, like the Apollo show was. Maybe a venue from 87 if they are still around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever they're doing, releasing another clothing or shampoo line, there's definitely a correlation between this and the Euro tour... the timing can't be a coincidence.

raggedyman Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 My opinion: afd reissue (not remastered cause why would they?) With 2 new songs and probably some old demos + streaming radio station for promoting the new songs and reissue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGeneral Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Well...what better way to make people buy something they already have than put a completely new song from the NITL era on it? I hope that's the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any confirmation on other locations for the poster? Edited April 30, 2018 by sparka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzyarg Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 When they play together nobody will believe it ... I noticed strange movement this couple of months tho... Alice Cooper said that Izzy will be on Hollywood Vampires Album, and slash and duff are guests too, then Matt Sorum wishes Axl a happy B-day, and then duff and slash did the same with Izzy.. but I don't know, it could be anything at this point ... I think the page has to do with a live streaming... now i saw there isn't any gig in London yet... maybe is a surprise show with the 5... but who knows... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There could have been a rights issue or legal battle why whatever is planned wasn't done last year for the 30th. My guess, a remastered appetite, original artwork and maybe they stream a live show or release a show to help promo it. Interesting they are doing it this year.....should have been done last year as a 30th anniversary. I suppose theres real time and "gnr time" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
