Exactly. It's far too obvious. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacdaniel Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Imagine how huge this band could actually be if they had good management and did the PR work. They could have used an event like Glastonbury to release music and sell well. It's a real shame that they don't. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who has qualified managerial experience, tenacity, passion and leadership will bump heads with Axl immediately and be terminated.

WhazUp Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Not that I think it would happen but to agree with above ideas, this would be the perfect time to bring out a couple new/reworked CD tunes for release. The one-two punch of the good publicity of the Glastonbury gig, and then their next show later in the week keeping the publicity going by dropping some new songs I think would be super smart - which is why I doubt it will go down that way lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are top of trends on twitter, on BBC, they're being watched by 10 million people in the uk, in all the newspapers. The are never ever going to get free press like this again, can't this band just do one thing right and release an Ep of the remaining 4 tracks or all as singles weekly for the next month? They're not willing to do any promotion, but they just did by doing glastonbury, release it now!!!! Common sense ffs! Umm, yeah. They missed the boat on all the best times to ever release music in the last 10,15,20 years……. 2017 would have been the year. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF GNR were really interested in getting the word out all they have to do is grant an interview with Slash and Axl together to talk about the new songs and bish, bash, bosh the the whole rock press will be all over it. Hyde Park is another date that everybody will be looking at (less of a big deal) which is also broadcast, so there's a good opportunity to release a single or whatever before that. I wouldn't expect it, but nobody expected the other two singles when they arrived. I think it's news whenever GNR do anything that isn't just another show, it might not seed into the mainstream but the rock press love talking about GNR. Now is an excellent time to write a new record. I just don't see Perhaps setting the world on fire, I could be wrong though, I haven't heard the updated version. But if they played it in Glasgow once word got out it would be newsworthy. The only thing that would make GNR relevant to the type of audience member at Glastonbury or much of the variety festivals is if GNR paired up with a young artist like Post malone, Billie Eilish etc, etc. That's the only way they are checking out a new GNR song, but I don't anticipate that happening... but I never would have thought Metallica would duet with Lady gaga or Miley Cyrus, so anything is possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather14 Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 I hope Axl reads this thread and knows that there are people in the world who take them much more seriously than their marketing team (if such a thing exists). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have used an event like Glastonbury to release music and sell well. It's a real shame that they don't. I don't think a new album will affect their popularity much. It's actually a risk. I'll give you an example... In my country (Netherlands) we have an artist that has created some nice rock music in the past (Anouk). But her latest albums were mainly boring (less rock, more ballads) and when she was scheduled to perform near my area, I didn't care. And I didn't go. So that day I sat in my garden and could actually hear her perform in the distance... and you know what? It sounded great! She played quite a few rock songs, some classics, there were nice guitar solo's, everything. And i was like "damn, that sounds totally different from what I expected based upon her latest releases". I should have been at the concert. So if Guns N Roses releases an album that isn't great it might actually hurt them. They really have to believe in the success of their new music. Almost to a point that at least half of the album sounds like "classic Guns N Roses". Sure, I still believe they can pull that off... but it isn't easy.

This is a band that goes on as a top billing band yet has no catalog to back up their status. Their legacy rests on essentially two releases.

GnR Chris Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 I try to apply logic to this band and it never makes sense. Where is the new music? Will they release something ahead of the US leg to prop sales? Venues haven’t been selling out, thanks in no small part to the overtouring and huge ticket prices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
