gavgnr Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Maybe the idea is to wait for the ticket sales to decline and then a single or two gets released to revamp fan interest. Who knows? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows? This is pretty much the best case scenario with the tour looming. Releasing two singles either simultaneously or in close proximity would snag headlines and any write ups would most certainly also mention the upcoming tour. But as always who knows what the plan is in reality, assuming there still is one for new music. Edited February 28, 2023 by sofine11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allwaystired Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 History has kind of told us that the only thing that changes the band is neccesity- quite often brought on by lack of money being made. When the cash ran out and the label had enough of waiting for CD....something changed. It came out. When Nu-Gnr were really struggling, playing the sort of gigs they were....something changed. Slash cane back. The main thing that would push new music now is if people stopped buying tickets and they HAD to do something. That's my take really. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my take really. not likely that people are going to stop buying tickets cause of lack of new music released by Gn'R. I think it's possible that Axl knew a reunion was on the table years before it happened. He talked about the possibility that Slash and Duff might return before it actually happened. also, Axl could have reunited years before 2016 and could have made a killing, so I think it wasn't just about the money, it was also being ready to forgive Slash and bury the hatchet and I think Duff was instrumental in helping Axl see that maybe Slash wasn't evil heh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not convinced he wouldn't have just ploughed on if Nu-GNR had been selling out massive venues. If people stopped buying tickets (and I know they won't) and GNR ended up playing theatres, something would have to change, one way or the other.

If people stopped buying tickets (and I know they won't) and GNR ended up playing theatres, something would have to change, one way or the other. nostalgia is the main draw of Gn'R. Not sure if a release of even a brand new album would have made much of a difference in ticket sales. it seems that Axl never wanted Slash and Duff to quit Gn'R, so my guess is that after Bucket and Robin left, and after Axl had enough time to support Chinese with multiple tours, that maybe there wasn't really a good reason to keep going. if new Gn'R was selling out massive venues, maybe Axl would have kept going and the reunion wouldn't have happened, I agree. He had to replace Bumble and Tommy anyway and he couldn't really go with another replacement that is not Slash imo anyway.

Nick85 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 The act of releasing a single(s) is a “nostalgic” move by legacy bands like GNR anyway these days, so releasing some tunes still can only serve to help the band sell this tour.

gavgnr Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Just a thought…bet we’d have gotten CD2 if the reunion never happened. I know which option I’d prefer. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batman007 Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 I personally think that Axl has made it clear to Beta family , when he dies, release my new music . That is his kind of will to them . They can be financially set for many generations to come . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxlRoseCDII Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Remember early last year Slash said the plan was to release single by single until there was a new albums worth of music? Then remember fall last year Slash downsized that and said the plan was to release another 2-4 songs? I see a pattern forming here... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think Axl has so much unreleased material that it could financially support the Beta family for many generations? What?? lmao All the money is in touring anyways, so exactly how will Axl's music be profitable after he's dead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
