Re: What's Different this time?
Bono, you keep going on about how people don't do research... As I've said to you many times, if they have a computer with internet access or read a music magazine, then they probably have a slight idea about what's going on with GN'R in the last 10-15 years. GN'R has been a trending topic and on the front page of yahoo several times over the years. If anyone, at any point, was a big enough fan of GN'R to blindly buy a ticket to a show or purchase an album, you would think, at the very least, that at some point in the last 15 years they would have read SOMETHING about GN'R that would have updated them, just a little, about what's happened after 1996 with the band.
You can stop using the reasearch line already an acting like it's some big ordeal to click a link, or type Guns N' Roses or even Axl in a search engine, or read an article in a magazine or on a website that mentions them. There have been MANY articles on MANY websites and in MANY magazines and TV shows that have talked about the current line up of GN'R, Axl and has mentioned Chinese Democracy.
Re: What's Different this time?
anyone who has no idea that slash is not in the band and is going to the show is there strictly for the fun of seeing a concert and hearing the songs they know.
they are the ones that will go out of convenience and/or impulse.
they are not followers of the band of any era
therefore
some will not notice that slash is not in the band (younger fans or older fans that just listened to the music and nothing more)
others will notice and there initial response will be "where's slash" (older fans who are there for nostalgia that have lost touch with current events with gnr due the time consuming realities of "growing up"
of those two groups the majority will get over it and even more if not all will enjoy the show.

So, at no point since 1996 (15 years) they haven't read, heard, seen anything related to GN'R except an advertsment for a single concert or just happened upon CD on the shelf?
Re: What's Different this time?
the ones that dont know that slash is not in the band, yes.
they dont have chinese democracy.
they haven't been to any shows of "new gnr"
and they haven't read any articles in paper or online
im not saying it's a lot of people
maybe 5 percent of the people attending the shows?
just a wild guess
Re: What's Different this time?
I don't know. I'm not even talking about seeking the stuff out. Just buying a magazine and finding something about GN'R inside. Or hearing it on a radio show. Seeing something on VH1. Or going to a website that has something on the band. Even if you're not a fan, chances are in 15 years you would run across something about GN'R somewhere. And we're talking about people who like GN'R enough, not a die hard, to buy a ticket to a show or buy the album.

Agreed. Furthermore, I'll add that I think it's foolish that anyone would send $100+ on something they have done no research on. The information is readily available. If you don't seek it out and get informed before hand, that's on you.
