allwaystired Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 14 hours ago, kiwiguns said: Not sure we're you have been hiding, but the music industry and artists make money from touring, not selling albums or via streaming services. Guns N Roses have no control over the music industry and we're the revenue lies via supply and demand. The supply and demand from the paying public is in buying tickets to watch an artist's live performance, not going to a record store to buy a record or CD. I cannot understand, why people as yourself take issue with the money the band is making, when they are simply following a change in the way the music industry operates today.. The people that control the music industry today, are the likes of Live Nation,Danny Wimmer Presents and other concert promotors around the world including those who promote music festivals. They are offering guaranteed income to the artists. The artist gets paid regardless of how many tickets are sold and the promotor takes the financial risk and covers all the costs. Universal Music, Sony Music and Warner Music aren't the power brokers of the music industry anymore.. They aren't going to sign artists up to multi million dollar record label deals because they won't get a return on that investment via album sales like they once did in the past. The artists aren't making money from album sales, so they are making money from preforming live to provide for themselves and their families. Why wouldn't the band go were the money is?. It seems stupid not to... Do you honestly think in today's music industry, Universal Music are going to pay Guns N Roses to occupy studios, have producers, techs, engineers and band members on retainer to sit around for years recording music like they did during the making of Chinese Democracy. Pretty sure this is trolling, based on a deliberate twisting of what I actually said (i.e. I said zero of the things you're defending other than that GNR's primary motive is money.....which it is.) Not interested in the familiar debate about how apparently nobody makes money from music anymore, which will go round and round along familiar grounds with many people pointing out the vast amount of bands who do indeed seem to still make music. I think we're all fully aware of how the music industry works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to hear Steven on it. ... so you're saying if we can crowdfund a big enough bribe, Axl will write new material? Possibly! Haha! I do remember years ago when GNR wer doing private gigs for people's birthdays and things, there was suggestion of how much we'd all need to put in to get our own private GNR gig! It was sort of jokey, but would have been interesting if whoever suggested it had really pursued it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Comstock Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 An AFD5 reunion isn't gonna happen, and Axl can't sing most of the 80s songs anymore anyway... but I'd actually love to hear Steven's drumming on Shackler's. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimiRose Posted February 22 Author Share Posted February 22 I wander if Axl speaks to paul tobias or ashba. They were people he seemed genuinely close to and friends with during their period and vouched for. Yet as soon as each left the band it seemed like the friendhsip did too. Axl is supposedly fiercely loyal but doesn't seem that way in reality 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl is supposedly fiercely loyal but doesn't seem that way in reality Impossible to know really. I get the impression socialising isn't high on his list of activities, so if there's no professional contact, they're probably simply former colleagues, like ones you got along with when you worked with them, but just don't really have any contact with anymore. I don't remember there being any ill feeling when Ashba left. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F*ck Fear Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Really, the only songs that make sense are from Appetite and Lies. Add Don't Cry and there's your setlist. Again, with his vocals being the way they are I would have no interest in an AFD5 reunion anyhow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allwaystired Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 (edited) Coma would be a fantastic add to the set. I'd love to hear that Adler version. Edited February 22 by allwaystired Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 I think the only way to truly capitalize on novelty of the Appetite five would be as a farewell. Otherwise, I really don't think the general public would care or eat it up any more than any tour post-2016. If it were to be truly the last Guns N' Roses shows ever, then I'd even say don't take it on tour. Let Axl rest up the voice as best as possible and do a residency somewhere (be it Vegas or otherwise). Keep the shows powerful but concise and film it. Realistically, it would probably also end up being the Appetite line-up plus Dizzy. A residency also opens up some easy guest opportunities if it is truly the last hurrah. Perhaps get Matt and/or Gilby out for a song or two. Celebrate the legacy of the band as it existed in the early run. Setlist: 1. Welcome to the Jungle 2. It's So Easy 3. Mr. Brownstone 4. Don't Cry 5. You're Crazy (Lies Version) 6. Out Ta Get Me 7. My Michelle 8. Think About You 9. Anything Goes 10. Slash Solo/Rocket Queen 11. November Rain 12. Knockin' On Heaven's Door 13. Nightrain 14. Patience 15. Sweet Child O' Mine 16. Paradise City I think that order gives Axl enough of a breather here and there while keeping up the momentum of doing everything from Appetite plus the obligatory November Rain (a stripped down version would be fantastic, like the 1993 versions). Maybe rotate in another Illusions song here and there depending on Matt/Gilby appearances. Civil War could probably also slot in somewhere. I'd say 18 songs maximum. Keep it around the two hour mark for a high energy celebration of the final Guns N' Roses shows. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kickingthehabit Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 If it was going to happen, it would have happened. Izzy won't come back unless they give him his %. He stays away out of spite, as a way of de-legitimizing the reunion. The big crowds only care about Axl and Slash though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 23 minutes ago, Kickingthehabit said: The big crowds only care about Axl and Slash though. Yea, it's crazy that some people still seem to think AFD5 is an ace up their sleeve. Bringing back Izzy and Steven, or Matt and Gilby (LOL), would make zero difference to the stadium crowds. They could do a theatre tour with obscene prices, but they could also do that with the NITL lineup. In reality, they'd still play CD and UYI songs, they'd still have at least Dizzy and probably Melissa, they'd probably even keep Frank (obviously Steven's great but I don't think he's physically capable of playing 3+ hours a night for months at a time, people conveniently forget he's had his own issues in recent years)... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
