Actually, I wouldn't mind a re-recorded version with the current band as Slash wasn't part of the demo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might have been the band soundchecking a new song for Slash's son's band. I can't remember, tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I know - something is coming. However, I suspect/fear we might be getting a SERIES of 30 second clips released at several day increments before the actual announcement.

guitarpatch Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 11 minutes ago, beautifulanddamned said: The best, most impressive thing about this whole reunion has been what the marketing company has pulled off. This ding dong band went to them and said, "We're doing a reunion tour with 3/5 of the line up, no new music - we'll be charging hundreds of dollars per ticket and won't be doing any interviews/appearances- good luck!" And they have knocked it out of the fucking park. That will be my lasting impression of the NITL period- great marketing. ROCK N' ROLL!!!! You think the band is marketing this? It’s most likely UMG. They profit from it You think the band marketed their tour? Live Nation provided marketing for their tour so they didn’t lose $ from their guaranteed fee Other than that they have a team that runs social media, manages their content that prob includes video, and drives engagement for their brand, merch, and premium packages etc. The oversight and brand direction comes from management. They obviously ok’d all of this as it fits in with their strategy and possibly collaborated with some of it Including this release as well. It ain’t coming out of their pocket though. Live Nation didn’t require them to do a ton of PR. That’s the amount of clout they had in the deal. It was negotiated. We’ll see if there’s any PR requirements made from UMG with this release. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember, tho yeah i vaguely remember someone mentionning slashs son but i dont think we ever found out exactly what it was all about and the rumor just all of a sudden died. just figured id bring it up cuz ppl are saying theres nothing pointing to new music. that little incident may end up actually being something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavgnr Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 (edited) I love it when GnR tease stuff like this, but I can’t see me shelling out anything unless there’s some new Chinese Era stuff in there. I suspect there won’t be Edited May 2, 2018 by gavgnr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tourettes2400 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Their marketing team has done a great job. I have read some crazy shit from people.

Why would you think he thinks the band marketed this? Why would you think he thinks the band marketed the tour? He doesn't say anything like that, he says the opposite.

It's not really within the spirit of GnR so I'm hoping it's gonna be something else! the spirit of GNR was kinda almost gone when they gave those 1991 interviews, wasnt it? besides, back then, those of us crazy-for-GNR-kids in 1991 were all mostly teenage kids with no real money to spend so that interview made a lot of sense - wow, how cool those GNR guys are! anyone paying attention would soon find out that they were not so cool as we thought if it is actually a $650 box set, or even a $200 boxset, it is definetely targeted for those who were kids back then, those who grew up listening to GNR actual CDs, guys and girls that now are probably in their 40s, have jobs and some money to spare it surely is not targeted to anyone that discovered GNR after the GNR-era! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although some do spruce up unreleased cuts that weren’t finished, but they are usually pretty up front with the info on that. There are most likely alternative takes/mixes of these songs that have never made the bootleg circuit or official release problem with axl is that we know how upfront he was about live-era-ing us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassist4 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I dont know what this all means but hell i would be happy with an Appetite For Destruction deluxe box set with vinyl, cds ,a photo book dvds of live shows from that time, unreleased material etc. No reason GNR cant release a box set like Led Zeppelin did with their albums or what Metallica has done with Their first 3 albums so far. Those box sets are fucking awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They released it as two separate records so you’d buy two separate records, both at full price instead of buying one double album for less than it would cost to buy two single albums separately. great point hahahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U2 released the greatest box ever made for the Achtung Baby anniversary and it costs something like $400. It is an insane box like with a million things. Take a look: https://shop.musicvaultz.com/*/*/Achtung-Baby-Uber-Deluxe-Edition-6CD-4DVD-Art-Prints/3M6W0000000 hopefully gnr box is twice as insane!
