DurhamGirl Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I have noticed something interesting since tour dates were publshed. Many posters, understandbly, have been fed-up with GnR and their lack of output and basically not being the band they once were and have become a nostalgic cash cow. But since the tour announcements many have bought tickets and discussions have evolved around excitement again. I am not being critical at all I am just curious as to why this is happening with all that they know, Axl's voice etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamillos Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I think this is normal on a GN’R forum. We never know what’s gonna happen. Will they play new songs? What does that “all new show” mean? As for Axl, there’s also always an element of surprise. His voice was weird/bad in 2001–02, and then he returned grand in 06. He was great in 2010, and then he returned weak in 11. He was weakish in 2011–14, and then he returned quite grand in 16. He’s gone down since 2017/18, and we don’t know how he’ll sound (or look) like this year. We know he sounded well on Rock the Rock. We know they’ve been working on stuff, and the pause was long enough. Hence the hope and excitement. There always have been periods of downtime, inactivity, frustration, etc. for us fans. That’s how the band rolls. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its the same stock standard NITL setlist with no new songs it will die off very quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allwaystired Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 There isn't that much excitement really- a handful of posters at best, and a few 'well, I'll grudgingly go' things. Seems to me that most people here aren't really interested unless things pick up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I buy tickets every time they come, because nobody knows when the last show will be. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricA Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 "Why this is happening?".... We are on a GnR"FAN"forum, right? All the entitled critism about Axls voice, TB, lack of new music, etc. doesn't necessarily mean, that nobody on here won't go to a show ever again. Wouldn't it be a bit ridiculous for a FANforum, if there weren't at least a few, who are excited about seeing them live again 40 minutes ago, Live Like a Suicide said: I buy tickets every time they come, because nobody knows when the last show will be. btw ^ this ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulMonster Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Yeah. Not too often they come to my neck of the woods, either, and I'd happily go to a show and have a great time. It might not be GN'R in its prime but it is still part of a fun night out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popcorn crew Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 They never visited so we have to travel and it is usually like drinking fest with my old buddies. Secondly, it is rare occasion to see GNR fans in such great number. With T shirts, playing music from cars, bandanas around heads. Thirdly, we can sing along on concerts with people, like karaoke version. Do not care about new music, just singing out loud and getting some drinks during Slash solos. For me right now it is like team building 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Any GNR concert I've gone too in the past years, the fans go nuts including my family and I. No one seems to be disappointed and since I never get tired of any GNR song, I'm good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkIt8Dude Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 GNR is my Led Zeppelin. If they are touring, I will be at the show having a blast! It's as simple as that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draguns Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 I'm excited to see my favorite all time band. I'll be having a few cold ones and enjoying the show. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to hear it. I'm not, as I'm bored now of the same setlist and I think the band look bored too. I want some change, variety and energy and I hope it'll come at some point. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locke Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Definitely looking forward to attending the show in the Twin Cities. Annoyed by the hassle of the venue switch and having to get different tickets, but it is what it is. As someone else pointed out, you never know when the last show will be. Heck, I had little confidence that the NITL tour would make it long enough to get to the Twin Cities last time. Fortunately it did and I had a blast. I haven't missed a tour stop since my first GNR show in '92 so I'm not stopping now. Like everyone else, I'm hoping for something new, but I'll enjoy the experience even if it is another run through the greatest hits. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay.Of.Execution Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Though i like to complain a lot, and rightfully so, i find myself being fucking excited about the shows. Although it's still a year away. But the whole experience is just great. Meeting people at the shows, buying the litho, the waiting for the band to come on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadApples87 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I'm only going to this show because I am taking my teenage son to it as his first gnr show. Otherwise, mostly due to price, I probably wouldn't be going. This will probably be the last time I go to a gnr show. UNLESS, the original 5 reunite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
