Popular Post Towelie Posted February 4, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 4, 2020 (edited) https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/guns-n-roses-reunion-las-vegas-2016-947513/amp/?__twitter_impression=true Quite a few digs in there. Best bits: Quote Amazingly, this will be the 14th leg of the tour. By this point, they’ve hit just about every place on the planet where they could conceivably play, including Malaysia, Taiwan, South Africa, United Arab Emirates, South Africa, and Indonesia. They’re going to Central America for the second time next month and Europe for the third time in May. If promoters start booking concerts on the moon, Antarctica, or man-made islands along the coast of China, they’ll probably play there, too. And: Quote Guns N’ Roses haven’t announced any fun surprises for this next leg of the tour, like a complete performance of Appetite for Destruction or appearances by former members Steven Adler and Izzy Stradlin. They also haven’t released a note of new music despite numerous interviews where they promise they’re working on an album. But if this tour has proven anything, it’s that a band can just tour forever and ever on their hits and people will keep coming. We look forward to legs 15, 16, 17, and beyond. Maybe in 2026, they can do a 10-year anniversary tour of the reunion tour. Edited February 4, 2020 by Towelie 13 4 35 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Nick85 Posted February 4, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 4, 2020 Good, they deserve the scrutiny. This is getting ridiculous, or worse, just plain boring. 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coma16 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I didn't read it but that's terrible of RS. They should be ripping into the ticket buyers for supporting it. GNR are just catering to the demand. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already know what they will play - the same as ever - and frankly it's become stale and boring af.

Popular Post AxlRoseCDII Posted February 4, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 4, 2020 A few years ago I would’ve thought it was low class but GNR deserves it at this point. Glad to see this forum isn’t alone in feeling this way. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allwaystired Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 This sort of article is inevitable at this stage really. Others will no doubt follow, and probably be way more savage. The bit that stands out for me, and reassures me that even people outside of GNR are baffled by the same things I am is: They downgraded to arenas in America after the first leg of the tour in 2016, and filling 60,000 seat venues might seem like a tough task at this point, but they must have reason to think that the demand remains this high.

If anything, it shows that hardcore fans in the forums aren't the only ones who were hoping GNR would make good on new music. Everyone's getting tired of the runaround.

rocknroll41 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Good. If this band doesn’t release even a single new song for this tour, then fuck them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soon Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Andy Greene is the man! And its the job of established publications to dole this out in todays media landscape - all the Trunks, new media, podcasters, etc arent going to speak this truth because it negatively impacts their chances for access to GNR. Ooh, and I really hope Axl rants about this!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangit Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Good. They deserve every ounce of criticism a this stage. Especially as fans were led to believe something significant was happening regarding new music. The tour being badged as a 'new chapter' / 'whole new show' just takes the piss. I bought my ticket for London before this Miami show.... starting to wish i had waited and would have given it a miss. Having traveled to Ireland, Portugal, Estonia and Finland over the years in addition to countless UK shows since 2006 including both nights in London at the Olympic stadium.... this Tottenham Stadium show will be my last outing unless they literally come to my city. Axl isn't it up to many of the old songs, set list is the same, the show, although its still acceptable is getting worse not better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well - Rolling Stone is a very mainstream publication, and if that article reflects the mood of others in the mainstream, then all good-will built up will vanish quickly. It sort of shows were the common perception might be heading.....and articles like this aren't going to sell too many tickets to a massive stadium tour. There's also the fact that I would imagine the members of the band are very aware of what Rolling Stone write. Being poked fun at isn't going to go down well....

The runaround is the thing that pisses me off the most. Labeling this tour "the next chapter" is also insulting as fuck, as it's a weaselly, coy, little way of saying "Who know's what'll happen over the next six months!!" without making a definitive statement. It's just so GNR. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should be ripping into the ticket buyers for supporting it. GNR are just catering to the demand. No, the band absolutely deserves it. It's been 20+ years of teasing new music with only one album -- CD, which many consider subpar -- to show for it. They're stringing along fans with the promise of new music to keep them buying tickets for the same old show. Someone needed to call them out for it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
