Exactly, it was just him being coy. Could be interpreted a million ways, and he's well aware of that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and it would sound quite terrible anyway (except for Jason). On 5/29/2021 at 5:06 PM, Gordon Comstock said: That's a cool ad, lot more exciting than the Selects. On 5/29/2021 at 7:36 PM, Subtle Signs said: A guy on the Metal Sludge gossip board says Mammoth WVH will be opening the tour! If true this is a step up from the Smashing Pumpkins for sure. He was right, ask him if new music is coming too. 21 hours ago, MattyIce3924 said: True. I was at Charlotte and Winston-Salem, Greensboro may be the last NC market they can juice minus a Boone stadium show possibly at some point? GnR at Kidd Brewer stadium 7 hours ago, RussTCB said: Mammoth WVH opening is the best thing about this news. Yes, very excited to see them. Feat. Frank Sidoris from SMKC on guitar. 5 hours ago, RussTCB said: You know what would be super cool? If they did either UYI I or UYI II front to back in the set list every night seeing as the anniversary is coming up. Like, open the set with ISE & Brownstone per usual then either go into RNDTH or Ciivil War and play the rest of that album at eight through. Then do a few hits as an encore. That'll never happen, but it would be really cool. Or just more UYI songs in general, replacing some of the CD stuff and covers. 4 hours ago, RussTCB said: The Mammoth WVH album has a LOT of buzz on it. It gets released 06/11 and it's going to have a lot of big radio hits all summer. They're a much better choice to attract new, young rock fans than the Smashing Pumpkins. SP would've been boring, would much rather see WVH. That will be an exciting opener. 4 minutes ago, ShadowOfTheWave said: Rick asked Fortus if new music is going to be played and he gave a "shush/keep it a secret" emoji. Richard has been giving vague platitudes about new music for decades now, but he has yet to cross into outright lying like Fernando, so hopefully there's something to this. Rick is banned from the shows so why does he care anyway? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick85 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 3 minutes ago, ShadowOfTheWave said: Just like Fernando's "fingers crossed" emoji last year when a Redditor asked him if a new album was coming. These people are utter cunts. In 2019 Fernando flat out said it was coming within "six months". No emojis. Didn't happen. Nada. Nothing. An emoji is likely them responding with an exasperated shrug at this point. Fucking GNR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 I would expect Hard School at the most. Then Richard technically wouldn't be lying (not that I'd read too much into an emoji anyways). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah a different guy today on social media asked “new album?” and Fortus replied with that same hush emoji. I ain’t getting my hopes up tho.

Subtle Signs Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Fortus isn't gonna be the one to announce anything anyway. It's like the people that ask Del. As if he's gonna tell random Twitter fan any kind of big news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axl_morris Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 (edited) Isn't rick banned from the shows? He was probably telling him to shut up as he leaked those songs so obviously not popular within the camp. Also, do you think they would have a whole host of new material for a secondary market tour? We'll get hardschool, pretty tied up, think about you.. and if you haven't seen them recently you might get dead horse, locomotive also. That's "new" enough for me.

BadApples87 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 There won't be any new music. But can we get the reunion we've all been waiting for.....Melissa out and Tracy/Roberta in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draguns Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 I'm happy that I'll be seeing my all time favorite band on August 5th at MetLife Stadium. I'll be having a beer in my hand and listening to It's So Easy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Killer Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Definitely bummed things didn't work out as intended. I'm hoping this announcement gives a jolt of positive energy that was lacking with the rescheduled dates. I've rarely enjoyed an outdoor concert. I can't think of a single indoor show I walked away not satisfied. I was last row and couldn't be further from the stage with AC/DC and Axl Rose - but still a great time, decent view, and excellent sound. Outdoor shows tend to be crap, sound wise and visually. This is positive. But without me there. Probably Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She doesn't add anything, but I don't really have a problem with her being up there. I just don't see why, they'd be just as fine without her......but it's not my band, so I don't worry about it.

Spike Killer Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 (edited) Wait a second.... With this new line-up we'll finally see a GNR and Van Halen on the same tour. Wasn't that a rumor in the early 2010s or something like that with a return to stadium rock for GNR?

Tom2112 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 6 hours ago, RussTCB said: Vote with your wallet! That's what I've been saying for years. GN'R is already down to causal fans or less buying tickets, thus the comical downgrading of this tour even in the face of nearly everyone on Earth dying to see a live concert. 17000 capacity venues are no easy sell, but yeah! that's a considerable downgrade from 80000 stadiums across the US. At some point you would imagine the penny drops and they say "shit we were selling out stadiums last time we toured!! what the fuck happened". Eddie Trunk discussed this in 2017 or 2018? he basically said they have to create some new excitement to maintain stadium level, otherwise they'll get bumped back to arenas (where they'll happily sell out, but for considerably less $$$). He also said he didn't think there would a new GNR album, maybe a single or two. He made a great point about bands not having records ready or near ready coming out of the pandemic and that's they if they haven't worked on anything, then they won't be working on anything for a long time, if ever. I know people hate Trunk but it's hard to argue with any of what he said there. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irving told Axl they were going to go on a co-headline tour with Van Halen, GNR were held up waiting on Van Halen it never materialised and that's ONE of the reasons the tour didn't start until Dec 2009. Even with 2009 DLR fronting VH, that would have been an incredible tour! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
