It's not blacked out. The billboard is there. The position of the fanmade photo isn't perfect because of the tree in front of Izzy. I think it's just a radio thing starting to promote the upcoming euro tour. Nothing more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohmygod Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 In my humble opinion all this will be is them playing Appetite in its entirety.. -*maybe Izzy and Adler make guest appearances at best... but Dizzy, 4tus, Frank, and Melissa all tag GnR in all their social media. No way they would do so if they were out and a full reunion was in the works. Also note Adler being a crybaby per usual. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom2112 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Don't get excited about the original 5 happening. IMO if the original 5 was the plan and they've released billboards... Steven would be clued in and NOT bashing GNR in the press. My vote is that the original 5 is NOT happening (right now). Next run of shows and the run after that (my guess) will be the same band we've seen since 2016. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also WAY unfair if GNR don't do AFD shows now For those who weren't aware (or don't remember) the advertisement campaign for the Apollo show in NYC - here was an advertisement for that show. The show was the typical setlist and no Izzy or Steven (with a below par performance from Axl after the first 3 or 4 songs). The current one seems to be promoting a new specific website. Extremely doubtful if GNR will announce an AFD5 live performance(s) on GNR.FM instead of gunsnroses.com (or official social media platforms). I really think these types of advertisements are purely to let the casual fan (as well as non-fans) know that GNR actually still exists - similar to any Geico commercial that are usually funny but the content of the advertisement has absolutely nothing to do with the actual product being sold but only remind you that they are still around.

Unless they are moving to the Federated states of Micronesia, couldn't it mean another GNR radio type of thing connected to AFD? Of course since they are always late, they missed the anniversary by a year. Gnr.com is taken Seriously though, it is weird that they use a FM domain. I don’t think it’s an AFD5 reunion, sadly. If it is the timing is odd with the Euro tour coming up soon. Would Izzy and Steven join that tour? Unlikely. And if they joined for a US trek after Europe, and announced it now, I think the European fans would feel a bit miffed.. I think the billboard is just a teaser for more US tour dates coming soon.

Reader's Digest Version: Another Billboard publicity campaign has started for a site from UMG-gnr.fm, various people are busy building it up into something grandiose they will inevitably be disappointed in and blame the band when it fails to come to pass. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the Apollo show they had an exclusive Sirius XM GNR station for several days (maybe weeks). I assume this is something similar.

Chunder Monkey Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I hope it is a re-issue. AFD seriously needs a remaster IMO - some type of deluxe version is well overdue when you consider it's one of the most important hard rock albums in history. Other bands have 10th, 20th, and 30th anniversary editions of records that are arguably less important in the scheme of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Minus Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 This will be just like every single other thing Guns N Roses has done since the 90's... Very underwhelming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-W.A.R- Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 It will be a AFD remaster. Which will be very disappointing if it doesn't include some great (and i mean great) bonus material. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which will be very disappointing if it doesn't include some great (and i mean great) bonus material. If it is a remastered AFD, I would assume it has more to do with prior commitments made to "Universal Music Enterprises" (whom gnr.fm is registered to when they created it on 3/21/2018) to generate revenue and little to do with the current band. Otherwise, it would not make sense to create a new website for that purpose. I think the site may have more content than just an announcement for a remastered record that would likely only sell to hardcore GNR fans. GNR.FM is only owned for 1 year which would suggest it will be a short lived campaign. I'm guessing a free station streaming GNR for a few weeks (or months) to pump fans up for upcoming performances.

Unless the new album has contributions from Izzy and Steven (extremely unlikely unless it's remastered AFD) it would have lawsuits written all over it for misrepresenting them. I hope my assumptions based on logic and history of promotion for this band is proven wrong and its actually something to get excited about such as new songs or live performances with Izzy and Steven, but I doubt it. Fool me once shame on them, fool me consitently for 25 years, shame on me. Edited April 30, 2018 by slim26 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
