It's a sad story So they've managed to tour the past two years with a hybrid line up and have become the 4th all time tour fooling people every night? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a sad story Yet here we are, and I'm betting you'll be standing in line to buy whatever they drop. Sad story for who? All I know is they're selling out stadiums and having one of the best selling tours ever overall without the band that broke up 30 years ago.

Saltzy Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I am fully prepared to be disappointed yet again. This band is tremendous at selling the sizzle. The steak is quite often bunt to a crisp or half eaten. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I read on blabbermouth.net that it will be a new GNR website. Big deal! Just what we need another GNR website that won't tell you anything new or important about the band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 As for other bands doing weird marketing things, check out the videos of Ghost's old Papa introducing the new Cardinal Copia as the new singer for Ghost, when in reality it's still Tobias as their singer. Maybe if you saw a video replacing the Ghouls, which happens every few months, it would make sense. I think the singer to Ghost is way weird, but such a good singer. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is all over the internet, and on the radio, and the media and radio stations are posting about it on their websites, Twitter, Instagram and Facebook pages, fans are sharing it. It has gotten GNR into the forefront around the world. Quite impressive actually. 😆 I read in GNR FB guy said he heard in SYRIOUS radio will be 5 reunion....this not is very serios...😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby845 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I don't want to spoil the fun of those who are gonna buy it, but... ... how many those of you (like me) would like to buy it whatever the price, but you already know that you won't have enough money... ? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjasmund Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Troccoli quoted a source on social media today. Wouldn't say anything else about it. Said he was sworn to secrecy: "This shit is insane. The boxset to shame all other boxsets." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hybrid lineup includes 3 original members, out of 5. That IS the catch. Either way, the hybrid lineup has not produced any new original material, so once the tour is over they have nothing else to sell. 18 minutes ago, Jeez said: Yet here we are, and I'm betting you'll be standing in line to buy whatever they drop.

Subtle Signs Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Yeah I mean this information is right up there with other top secret information. A matter of national security if you will. If Lafon wants to secure an interview with Melissa Reese he better not spill any more of what he knows or it could be anarchy in the streets 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicklord Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I'd love it if it was like Metallica's boxsets. Remastered album, demos, bootlegs, DVDs/BRs with interviews and documentaries and a nice book with pics and comments about them written by band members. Nothing spectacular but really great to have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were using the skulls of Fortus, Frank and Melissa the posters would be already full of crashed eggs Is that the Adler Appetite skull? I thought it was a recent picture.

DieselDaisy Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 The nugnr guys (Ashba and his demos) went up to Rose and discussed a new album. It would be a good bet that Slash and Duff have raised the conversation also. Conclusion? Slash is now recording a Conspirators album and Guns are embarking on a re-release of a thirty year old album! Rose just doesn't want to release music. Guns are now a legacy act. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NovemberPain Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 (edited) Well, i've been told Slash laid down a solo for Atlas Shrugged so we may have new tracks among the box set. Edited May 2, 2018 by NovemberPain spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah part of me wonders if he became disillusioned from releasing music after ChiDem ended up getting mixed reviews (at best) and not selling all that well, after over a decade of working on it. Wouldnt surprise me in the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not what Axl indicated, and the other recent interviews with other people in contact with guns. So we have something coming out this year, if we didn't there would be complaints, now that we do it's still bad? Where's the logic?
