ToonGuns Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 I care. Probably too much! Why else would I keep coming here. It's pretty much the only forum I use. Music is an incredible medium, and GnR are among the best at their specific niche of music, which happens to be a personal fave of mine. I'm beyond bored of the lack of any professionalism or activity, but I'm at the point now where it is what it is. I listen to other new music, enjoy the discussion and debate on here (and wider forum pages - politics, movies, vinyl), and keep in touch "just in case" CD2 news leaks out! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowOfTheWave Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 I care about: 1.Soul Monster 2.Oklahoma/Berlin 3.The General Whether these materialize as reworked songs on a new album or future leaks, they are literally the only things I "care" about from this band. Zero interest in new songs from Axl/Slash, as I've found Slash dull and uninspired since his self titled disc and I could care less what modern day washed up corporate jukebox Axl Rose has to offer in the way of lyrics. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jets have a new exciting Head Coach and a promising QB. So I'd say they have way more more to be excited about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystery Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 I'm curious to see how Axl looks and sounds and if they add anything to the setlist be it new songs or rare/never played stuff. Once the first handful of shows go by I'll probably tune out unless I see a thread here that points out anything different. I'm OOTL on this tour, do they have any opening acts?

GoBucky Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 I'm going to four shows, but apparently not many people care like I do...there are tons of tickets available to these shows.

They may have gotten away with the initial buzz of the "reunion" but that ship has sailed. I have actually heard a lot of people interested in this show but the between it being a Tues night and offensive tickets prices the show will be a ghostown.. My tickets actually came in the mail today.. Usually an exciting moment but mehhhh. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ticket prices are way too high, there's no hope for new music, little to no promotion, most people expect the same show that they've done the last 5+ years, and there's still a lot of people out there who hate Axl. It was silly to book stadiums again. Even the arena shows are struggling. No matter where someone lives in this country, they could've seen them somewhere without traveling too far on one of the numerous legs on the last tour. Something new has to be thrown out there to get the casual fan to buy a ticket again. It's lunacy to continue to use TB as their management. I saw 19 shows last tour, and even on nights where Axl struggled a bit, the shows were good. I expect these to be good as well, but they've completely mishandled it. If there was any time they needed new music, it's now. Edited July 9, 2021 by GoBucky 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trin9498 Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 (edited) I had pit tickets for Fenway and got a refund when covid hit. I have not bothered to get tickets again and probably won’t - I’ve said it before though….real easy……lose the effects, pyro, etc….play songs in random order and just have screens show the band members playing….would go a long way with fans Edited July 9, 2021 by Trin9498 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VampireSoul Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 (edited) I care and they're not even coming here (Finland) 😂 I have way too many real life stuff to worry about than a setlist or who's 'fat' or wearing what. It's my favorite band playing, I will go if I can and have a good time seeing them, possibly for the last time ever.

Lim666 Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Yup! Time is running out for our guys,, there always is the risk of them not being around for much longer. So get what you can get - which is mainly 2-3 good songs from Axl vocally each show and a very few setlist surprises here and there . Add the enjoyment of a live show and its surroundings and you can have a great night. But if they wont be able to offer more surprises (god forbid (good!) new songs!) and go on with the same/similar NITL shows they're doing since 4/2016....there isnt much motivation for die hards to see more shows. Good move for us is to watch and check the upcoming US tour on youtube and fan recordings closely and decide if this is worth the time, money and nerves to do multiple shows at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craiggunslover Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 At this point they're best to bring Steven and Izzy and Matt back and let Frank and Richard and melissa go and just do a classic 80's and 90's line up tour and make a proper hard rock and ballads guns record .it's beyond boring and stall now . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
