Subtle Signs Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) Considering our current "leader" thinks this disease affects virtually nobody as we pass 200,000 deaths , there's a zero percent chance these shows happen. Even a vaccine will take a long time to distribute and see it's effectiveness so yeah zero percent chance in the US that the shows happen as planned in huge stadiums. No matter how many times Trump says Covid will disappear (over 30 now and Science begs to differ) it won't.

He's been banging the "I refuse to wear facemasks, why should I do it, they're an infringement on my civil liberty" drum. Sad to see really. You're not missing much with Ian Brown! He had some solo albums after the Stone Roses, never really set the world on fire and range from average to very poor. As you say, would be interesting to know what their roadies and crew make of those comments! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towelie Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I wish nothing but the worst for Axl and GNR at this stage. I hope they try and fail to play stadiums and struggle to sell arenas. They deserve nothing less. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydney Fan Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) As much as i agree with towlie, i think the asian and oceania countries (NZ and Australia)will be bouncing back quicker from covid before the US and europe. I think seated concerts and social distancing with seating will be the norm. Edited September 23, 2020 by Sydney Fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike Killer Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I suspect there will be shows. I hope there will be shows. I don't think the public will be ready to embrace crowded stadiums and close contact with strangers anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you can maintain that COVID-19 is very dangerous and people in high risk categories should be protected at all costs, And also + Recognize that it's become intertwined in various political statements. All public gatherings are not treated equally. You can't condemn one while turning a blind eye to others. + If hospitals/institutions receive funding based on the # of COVID-19 deaths - then you can't discount the probability that the number of deaths are being inflated or the cause of death being attributed to COVID-19 when it might be very possible that the person would have died regardless. If there's no faith in institutions of any kind - how can you believe anything? Anyway. I'm really looking forward to concerts next year. If NJPW can make live events with crowds work - so can the rest of the world (with six months or more to plan for them) Edited September 23, 2020 by Spike Killer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway. I'm really looking forward to concerts next year. If NJPW can make live events with crowds work - so can the rest of the world (with six months or more to plan for them) Well, obviously myself and @Sydney Fan are being somewhat playful in comparing certain idiot's reactions with WW2 and not really doing it as an actual comparison! To be honest, I'm pretty sick and tired of people trying to tell me coronavirus is being 'inflated' or 'exaggerated' or whatever, as things continue to get worse across the world and deaths continue to rise, simply because they don't want to make even the slightest compromise to their personal life. Fortunately, these conspiracy theory clowns with zero scientific, medical or health knowledge whatsoever are increasingly receiving the derision their blind ignoring of the world around them deserves. That was the point I was trying to make, and presumably (not wanting to speak for him!) @Sydney Fan too. I think, as someone mentioned above, the only way to make a live event work in the foreseeable future will be with significant social distancing measures, which (as was discussed in another thread) comes with financial issues that make it nearly impossible in most live music scenarios. There have been a few trials, examples etc, of varying success, but I think we're dreaming if a GNR tour would happen with these restrictions. It's all or nothing for most gigs, for a variety of reasons, primarily financial, sadly. Fingers crossed though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I wish no-one thought it so we could do our best to protect the most vulnerable. Not a perfect world though! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 18 hours ago, The Holographic Universe said: I’m really hoping this tour hits the road. Is anyone on this forum skeptical? GNR had to cancel the Dallas date and couldn't get another date for 2021 in the same venue. I do hope GNR gets a Dallas date in another venue. There are so many to choose from here. I would hate to not see GNR when it could possibly be the last US tour for a while. 1 hour ago, DieselDaisy said: I highly doubt there will be crowds permitted at events in 2021. Yeah, I feel the same way. I do have a date for KISS and Motley Crue, but who knows? If this virus isn't under control or there's no vaccine or cure, I don't think I will want to be in a stadium with thousands of people. We can't distance and wearing a mask with all of us screaming and singing, won't help at all. I will wait and see. Hope I can get a refund if these concerts are cancelled.

reayj2003 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) Governments will want the industry back. Will depend on vaccines, track & trace etc. We’ll not know until April I reckon. Hopefully shows can happen. 🤞 And hopefully Covid won’t be causing deaths. Edited September 23, 2020 by reayj2003 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
