I think “Summer 2021 North American Tour Discussion” has a nice ring to it, but there’s always a .001% chance there’s something else included in the announcement. How do you know there is an announcement tomorrow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussTCB Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 If any sort of tour is going ahead, that's great. While I won't be paying to see GN'R, I'm truly happy for those that want to go. Any return of live music is great IMO. Having said that, I think anyone expecting any new music is setting themselves up for disappointment. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is maybe Axl will address this issue in one of the shows or they'll finish all the tour dates and when Axl completes the album/wants to release it he'll give a release date or an interview but none of this shit is going to happen anytime soon. in the meantime, I'm hoping they'll at least play HS or some other newish tune.

I actually feel the opposite. I feel like when Axl DOES decide to release new music it'll just come out of nowhere. I think it will be here's the new album, it's out. I don't think he wants the leaks and this is the easiest way to control it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems kinda old school about it. Especially when it's original Guns material but who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will agree when the L&L set came out there was a decent amount of promotion. And even with this tour we are seeing the "they're coming" billboards pop up... They seem to promote their announcements. So you might be right. I just feel it'll be one of those things where he kind of let's the music speak for itself. I'm sure slash and duff will do promotion and interviews but idk man lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH, I wasn’t even trying to allude to new music, more that it could be Summer/Fall, they could be sharing the bill with another big name, or maybe there are a string of acoustic or more intimate shows with a theme. I also think I jumped the gun when I assumed that all of these shows would be announced at the same time with Hershey in ~5 hours. They could be staggered.

They did it with UYI, Chinese.... The landscape is completely different now, but I guess there is still 0.001% chance it happens. I just wouldn't be expecting it. Expect what you saw last time with a few newer songs thrown in as the tour gets going, I think if you go with that mindset you can enjoy the show even if you are tired of the set or even the It would be great if they played a fresh set and Axl was sounding good again, which is about is as unlikely as new music... but possible. July is going to be interesting on here🤣 Anyway! anyone going enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allwaystired Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 If someone could please explain to me the logic behind announcing more dates to a tour that is already selling poorly that would be great, as I can't work it out it all! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are starved for in person events. GnR already was scheduled/ready to tour, I assume LiveNation thinks that once they initiate an all out marketing blitz these shows will sell themselves. I’m not saying it will be successful, but there is some logic to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chance of them playing new stuff before any release is actually way bigger than them releasing an album suddenly within a few weeks. One of the reasons may be that they did this with every single album they've ever released. New tunes were always played ahead of releases. This obviously doesn't have to mean a completely new playlist, that's never been the case. But a few songs? That would be great. No reason not to do it. Then again, GNR and reason...

Stryker Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 (edited) New profile image on their Ticketmaster page of the robot smashing what looks like the OG AFD Cover Monster. Edit: If I’m not mistaken, the AFD monster has been reworked a bit to include COVID elements. Not joking. Google is telling me they’re called S Proteins. I’ll let y’all judge for yourselves whether I’m seeing things or not. I don’t think they appear on the Original cover.

SoulMonster Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Well, I'm actually a bit excited about GN'R touring again. I am not saying it will be any different from before, I just am more happy with the band out there touring than the band doing nothing. Will there be new songs? New riots? New biting of guards' thighs? New band members? New covers? New acoustic shows at smaller venues? New paparazzis' getting knocked down? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this rate, Team Brazil are either deluded or have something up their sleeve (lol). I have no idea how they expect to sell tickets for these new dates - Hersheypark is the first date on the tour (July 31) and tickets go on sale June 04. Tough ask.

I think they're banking entirely on being the first major tour out of the gate since the pandemic. IMO, it's the smartest play they could run right now. Catch people desperate for a live show and throw a sense of urgency at it by having the on sale so close to the show. And by "smartest play", I of course mean Live Nation, not TB 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
