tboneman Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 https://blabbermouth.net/news/nikki-sixx-there-will-be-no-setlist-changes-for-motley-crues-upcoming-u-s-shows "One of the fans who commented on Sixx's post wrote, "Hopefully an adjustment in the set list, would love to hear some of the other killer songs you have to", to which Nikki replied: "The show is all worked out for this tour. Next time we go into rehearsals in 2024 for the next tour we do all the set list and video content changes." Just read this. At least GnR changes a little bit their set from show to show. I guess it's easier when they actually play live. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colonizedmind Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 (edited) I suppose if Axl weirdly turns up on the JRE one day....that's about as close to MSL interviewing him as you can imagine....wrestling and UFC background collide.

Dani_1455 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 I think even they drop an album tomorrow (impossible) will not save this situation, they are paying the lack of promotion and new things, totally deserved at this point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalavenger99 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 (edited) They deserve this, i hope the same happens at most European countries soon, i wanna see GNR not being able to get away with this "greatest hits + reunion" bullshit anymore.

Champy Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 It's a shame the American leg isn't selling good at all , do the band still get paid It's not a reunion tour anymore ,the reunion was 7 years ago but what it is , is an amazing show , the band on fire in Europe , new classics in setlist Maybe it's the cost of living crisis or just not going back to see a similiar show for v high prices The band need new music or maybe just do arena tours in USA and stadium in Europe etc Guns n Roses members have made a fortune I'd presume since 2016 so no shame in doing arena tour in USA still be epic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Gordon Comstock Posted July 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 28, 2023 GNR haven't played in Canada since 2017 and those shows are selling poorly, too. Fact is, they're charging more for a worse show. Casual fans don't live in this weird bubble where Axl "doesn't sound too bad for a guy in his 60s". His voice has deteriorated, they've released nothing but old songs and overpriced box sets, stripped the stage show right down, and they're charging a lot more than 2017. It shouldn't be surprising that most fans will either wait until they heavily discount the tickets, or spend their money on a better show. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post downzy Posted July 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 28, 2023 I was kind of shocked when they announced they'd be doing a stadium tour in 2023. The European shows seem well attended so thought maybe I was off. But yikes. Guess this is what you get when you try to soak your fans. Ticket prices are impossible to justify. All the best to you attending shows this year but I can't justify the expense, all things considered. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalavenger99 Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 The gig in Charlotte is not doing that bad despite the high prices, but still, i believe the main problem is they've over saturated the US market while the novelty of the reunion has already wore off, things are not gonna change because you added 4 deepcuts ... Casuals don't care about new music but they've seen the same show many many many times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powderfinger Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 There’s a lot of bands touring this summer, and even for the current cheapest GnR ticket I can see 2/3 bands for the same cash. I can see them in clubs and small venues and get a better experience. If I were to go it would be the 4th time since the reunion with mostly the same setlist and it would be the second time I’d seen AIC open for them in those 4 shows. It’s all a bit stale. When I compare that to seeing The BrianJonestown Massacre indoors or Maiden with a great sounding Bruce or a still Interesting and great sounding Pixies. GnR fall down the list pretty quick Maybe an arena tour might have been a better idea as opposed to a stadium tour. GnR and AIC will shift 18,000 tickets most likely but will they shift 50,000.

beebee_head Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 United Kingdom arena tour would do well, particularly if different cities were visited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allwaystired Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 I'm interested to see what they are actually going to do about these US shows. Surely that Pittsburgh show isn't viable? It's not that far off, so surely if discounts were going to have an impact they'd have had to do them by now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IzzysMissy Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Their current pickle from a quick scan of upcoming shows is that they’ve sold *just over arena capacities in some places but not NEARLY enough to justify a stadium. So they can’t move any of these shows otherwise many would be *sold out*. It’s fucking AWESOME that so many years into a stale reunion they can sell our arenas so I have no clue why they’d want to play to half/mostly empty stadiums. I highly doubt any of them are aware of sales though but I have no doubt everyone around them is. Wonder if it’ll be an ego-check for anyone when they DO see all the undeniable empty seats all over the USA and Canada. The smaller venues (arenas and large theatres) are all sold out. I’m 100% not paying for this tour though - our fam made that decision a few weeks back. If I get gifted a ticket I may go for like the first hour and split. Would love to hear BO and PTU as they are some of my gnr faves but I just refuse to spend this kind of money. Theres nothing wrong with being an Arena Band boys - you’ll sound better too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, the midlands has only had Download 2018 so far, and that's if folks dont mind a day at a festival.

Amir Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 If they were to do a UCAP Mk. II tour I'd be happy to pay the prices they're currently asking in the US to be seated half a mile away in a stadium to instead see them up close and personal in a club. The Atlantic City gig I went to in 2012 is one of my favourite concerts I've ever been to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Atlantic City gig I went to in 2012 is one of my favourite concerts I've ever been to. Agreed. They're charging theatre prices for stadium shows. They can play how many hours they want, but the prices just reek of greed. Some might argue that it's the promoters who are setting ticket prices. That is true. However, prices are a reflection of up-front fees artists are charging promoters. The artist also gets a cut from VIP packages. I was fine with the money grab in 2016/2017 when fans were getting the (sort of) reunion show they've long wanted. But prices this high seven years out? It's just insulting. GNR prices are in line with what Taylor Swift is charging and at least with her there have been new albums in the last few years and demand (sort of) justifies the prices. Not to mention Swift is in her prime; GNR's prime was decades ago. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor also has trucks full of stage equipment etc. for an elaborate show. Was watching the 2009 rehearsal recently and remembered how much I liked the pyro & lightning that "revealed" Axl when ChiDem was an opener and the pyro/sparks for WTTJ, LALD, and NR, and the confetti for PC. The current show feels really anaemic for a stadium concert, especially after having seen Rammstein a few times this year. A stripped-down stage setup wouldn't be so bad if they were playing smaller venues. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
