Voodoochild Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 2 minutes ago, Rovim said: what if they just focus on completing a record while shit is still hitting the fan and wait it out so they can then do a proper release, one that I think is a little bit more plausible is another possible scenario. That would work unless there's more bands doing the same (The Killers are about to release something too, I guess). The point was to release new music now because people will stay at home anyways, and YouTube and Spotify will be their main entertainment venue.

rocknroll41 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Wouldn’t a surprise album be Saturday? Not tomorrow? Unless they’re doing a Friday the 13th themed thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much money can they make from a "stay at home" release? not as much as touring generates. Edited March 12, 2020 by Rovim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is getting real big right now, but it wont last forever. It doesnt matter when they release a new record, tho. People buy tickets to watch SCOM and November Rain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I lieu of this tour, they could instead ''start looking very seriously at what we’re doing in that regard''. It has worked for them in the past! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to take a break from touring anyway to increase demand but I suppose you're right in that it doesn't really matter when they'll release another record from a financial standpoint.

Popular Post Blackstar Posted March 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2020 (edited) The Rolling Stone article that was posted a few pages back is very informative about the complications of the cancellations and the business/legal shit involved (insurances, etc.) I suspect that the terms in GnR's contract with Live Nation may be stricter than average in this regard because of the band's history of cancellations (and that's why Axl performed with a broken foot or when he was sick and no show was postponed) so the "penalty" may be too high if they cancel themselves.

I think you're right too. They should stop the endless tour for a while. Let it breath, make people actually miss it.

This time is different, with an external reason. Legally, I'm sure the band could overcome their initial contract within reason. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlRoseCDII Posted March 12, 2020 Author Share Posted March 12, 2020 God, just cancel the tour already! The world will go on without hearing ISE->Brownstone->CD...and a 20 minute rendition of KOHD, just follow suit with literally every other band and mass gathering and postpone it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legally, I'm sure the band could overcome their initial contract within reason. Yeah, this is what logic says. But maybe dealing with a colossus like LN could be complicated. According to the RS article, insurance companies won't cover the cancellations unless there's specific prediction in the contract about the coronavirus (which doesn't apply to the majority of the tours, as they were booked a long time ago). And I guess LN won't want to cover the cost either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely this. As far as album wishes, don’t see it happening. There’s no real incentive for either GNR or UMG. It won’t sell (people are worried about other expenses) and it does nothing to promote any other endeavor (since people aren’t buying concert tickets right now) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure they would’ve already landed in Mexico, at this point. They’ll likely fly back home tomorrow, tho, at this rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
