At least is a brand new song, not a reworked song from 1999. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneway23 Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 I'd say that's ambitious, at best. You keep doing you, MyGNR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmo Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 I'd rather see GnR perform on the grammys than get a grammy. But then again, it would only be positive if Axl gave it his best since.... probably the ACDC tour lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axl S Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Didn't Megadeth win a Grammy for Dystopia? Don't see why Guns couldn't win one - the rock music category has a low bar these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of the highest grossing tours of all time. This management (that we all have rightful reasons to criticise) are also the ones that oversaw a Live DVD, a reunion, an AFD rerelease with unheard material, and two new songs being released in the past two months. Is this stellar? No. Is it absolute dogshit like some fans online try to make it out to be? No. Not every artist has Metallica tier management and promotion. It's sad but true.

"This is one of the highest grossing tours of all time. " totally thx to the fans. GNR is a top band, and when you compare it to other top bands and the lower ones, biz side is A FUCKING JOKE. I dont give a fuck to a nugnr dvd, threeunion, a shitty afd rerelease and two demos polished. Of course I bought them all and that but we should be treated like a princess for following this band for 30 years, look at talica maiden kiss even lotsa other shitty bands ffs.

A tour that had to have dates canceled, some dates moved to smaller venues, have massive discounts on tickets and still not sell those dates out is not "packing stadiums". 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were any dates canceled because of low ticket sales? What concerts were moved to smaller venues? Provide proof of "massive discounts?"

Even with those discounts, the shows still didn't sell out. And yes, dates were canceled on the tour and some shows were moved to smaller venues. Again, proof of this can be found in every show thread. I enjoy GN'R a great deal and want them to succeed but I'm not going to act as if this current tour is some sort of massive success when every piece of evidence shows otherwise. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please provide one example of a show that was pulled and moved to a smaller venue. The rest seems anecdotal. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you didn't know those things happened or are choosing not to believe it, I'm not going to look up a bunch of info for you. It's right here on the site for you to do that work yourself. Also, the rest is not anecdotal, those are facts. Tours that are "packing stadiums" do not have to have massive discounts in every city on the tour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People consider rock bands anything with a guitar and a bass nowadays. Guns are a bunch of geezers at the Grammys, I don’t see how they make the cut Just have Melissa show up, that may be the edge they need to push that song on casual listeners. 3 hours ago, MYWIFEMYLIFE said: Ex marketing manager here for UMG, can tell you what they shoulda do for hours, and not to do in just one phrase.
