Not that I'm excited about more giant stadium show dates, but hasn't every year of this tour brought a couple "holy shit" moments? Off the top of my head, there were new covers in 2017, Slither and Shadow in 2018, Locomotive in 2019, So Fine in 2020, Absurd and Hard Skool in 2021, Street of Dreams and those AC/DC covers in 2022, and Bad Obsession/Reckess/PTU in 2023, along with Perhaps and The General.

...okay 2022 was a little boring, but I'm still curious to see what the set looks like.

Also comeback of There Was A Time in 2023, and Axl really hitted those high notes on 1st performance in Madrid.

Should’ve called it the My World Tour. It writes itself.

That’s 2016/17… aka the reunion tour, when it was the perfect time to strike with NEW music… your point being? 

You said they’re incapable of anything but incompetence. Does incompetence lead to that much money being made? 🤷‍♂️

You do realize this would be the same time frame as saying GNR tours were a success in 2001/2002 because they did well in 1993... like come on now....

Ok then. 2018-2023 tours were all a success as well, so 2025 will be fine. Better?

It's a "holy shit" moment when a band plays it's own songs? Like, you know, most other bands do? 

Don't get me wrong, I get your point regarding GNR, but...

I don’t know how other bands handle it but yeah, when GNR plays a song they haven’t played before live, even if it’s over 30 years old and loved by fans, then it’s a surprise. Same goes with new releases with this band. We are desperate, starved out. Everything new is a holy shit moment. Even if it’s shit.

I think this is pretty normal with other bands' too. Like if Rolling Stones suddenly played a song they hadn't played before or in a long time, of course it would be a "holy shit" moment to fans.

If only those miniscule tiny moments weren't spread in real time over 8 years of our lives, they might have seemed impressive.

Would be fitting that tix go on sale Friday December 20th like the gig date on the original flyer from ‘85 

Yes, just when fans are full of spare cash to splash on frivolous and extravagant things such as GnRs 17th and ever declining stadium show. The week before xmas. wouldn't put it past those TB eggheads...

Problem is though, that there isn't too much more they can do along those lines. A few songs maybe, but with such a tiny back catalogue, they're going to be struggling for these moments.

To be fair, in 2024 competence and success, especially financial, are hardly best buddies. 

I'm sure we can all look around us and see some VERY incompetent people rising through the ranks of the various fields we live and work in......

Yeah, this is pretty much the norm for a lot of veteran bands. Fans that know how often certain songs have been played will always be amazed when a rare song is played live. Even if it’s not a really well-liked song, fans usually appreciate the rarity of such an appearance. It’s a neat thing.

Why don'y you ask the CEO that just got shot dead and everyone clapped for?? 

YES> Incompetence leads to boat loads of money some times... It all depends on whos being incompetent. Recently its been the fans expecting something new from a band who has rested on their laurels for almost 9 years now, but dying to give them money on this never ending tour

I doubt that CEO was incompetent. Prob just evil and greedy. And evil. Also greedy. 
 

they’ve released several new songs, and scoured the entire catalog for new songs to play at the concerts. In no discernible honest way have the fans gotten nothing “new” in 9 years.

Yes but as stated previously, the issue is the 9 years. which included 8 years of nothing new before that with the previous line up. Time is infinite, but our time on earth isn't. We're talking lifetimes here now. for a few deep cuts and B sides. if that had all happened in the initial 2016-2018 run it'd be impressive. 'We got 4 new b sides, a re release from the classic era and great setlist rotation.' but it's happened over 8/9 years. the changes have been so glacier slow and so miniscule each time, they havent placated anyone. that's the issue.

It's happening!

That actually quite a good little video. And I don’t mind the tag line, let’s face it, everything Guns N’ Roses did in 1985 was hellacool, so makes sense to borrow from that era.

[Politania]

[Judezki]

Finally! I guess the dates will be released on monday then?

[gnfr20179]

40th anniversary tour… and maybe more? 
 

But in all honesty, that was a killer teaser. When the effort’s there, it’s evident.

Where Is spoon87 when we need him the most?

You're a tough little thing, aren't you? Keep it up! 

[GNR 1991]

Won’t complain too much because the hype teaser is well done. Releasing this on a Saturday morning and going through with that tour slogan is just hilarious though.

Keep your fans happy and release two more songs next year!
