SoulMonster Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Yeah, why should they be embarrassed? The touring since 2016 has been spectacularly successful. And there is no shame in being a legacy act. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went back and forth with the swines and got offered a free ticket for any show up to value of my Gold Circle Guns London ticket. I chose Def Leppard and Crue in Sheffield. They said I could only have a general admission ticket but I ended up with a Gold Circle ticket. Well worth sending a few emails. Ticket was worth £140 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing wrong with it, but you can't have it both ways. You either release new music and push forward or you sit and play your back catalogue and become a nostalgia act.

If Slash gives an interview that says new music is coming (and fortus et al) and I think yes I want to be at a show where they play that new music, and go, then they do not play any new music, again I am being short changed. I am all for critiquing GNR's lack of productivity but I am not sure if I agree with this. To me, if someone buys a ticket to a show because of some vague comment about new music that hasn't actually come to fruition yet in hopes that said new music will be played at their specific show - unless the tour is advertised as being for promoting a new album specifically, that seems more like gambling with low odds and being angry that your gamble didn't work out in your favor, rather than being short changed Edited May 30, 2023 by WhazUp 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, does it matter to my opinion that there is no shame in being a legacy act what other people might think, including your band member from this anectote? Nope, it doesn't. We don't have it both ways. This band is purely a legacy act. The quicker we fans understand this, the quicker people will stop whining when the band doesn't live up to their expectations of more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say there's shame in it either... I said they were butthurt when Hammett called them out about it. It doesn't matter about my opinion or yours, I also wasn't saying that. Some big jumps there tbf. And I wasn't saying the fans can't have it both ways I was talking about gnr members. If they are hurt when someone points out that they don't make music then combat it by making and releasing music 1 minute ago, D4NNY said: Have you got a link to an article or anything on that? Just did a quick search and can only see stuff about the comment Kirk made It was a YouTube interview with Kirk some time in late 2016? He basically said that he got in trouble over the comment about them being a nostalgia act, and that he didn't mean to slag them he just wished they'd release music 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it is true that they've had lots of success and have no need for feeling embarrassed at the situation, I do think it is shameful to PRETEND to still want to release new music and not be honest about their intentions of just being legacy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there’s no democracy in GNR. The bands decisions and direction follow the whims of its leader. His decision is the only say, the final say in all matters GNR related. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They know exactly what they are doing and it wouldn't surprise me if its come from the shitty management. 'We're struggling to sell tickets susan, can you say you've heard a new song and its epic?' Or Meegan 'accidentally' streaming a few seconds of unheard songs in rehearsal etc. its almost as if they have a running bet on how long they can mug off their audience for and get away with it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSlashrose Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 I believe they will add one or two UYI songs to the setlist. But nothing surprising. I believe they play Breakdown and PTU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
