Re: GN'R returns to the UK
I can't fucking believe it.
They're playing brum the day I'm getting married so can't do that and London when I'll be on honey moon
Fuck bags
Get married at the gig? Get Axl to marry the pair of you? 
Re: GN'R returns to the UK
Anyway, I feel the ball is out of air. For me. They can still continue to do this, and to tour to good amounts of crowd looking for a nostalgia trip or a drunken rock n roll night. It's fun and all, I mean, it's better than nothing. I'm thankful for Axl being out there, entertaining is and doing his stuff. The world would be very empty without him.
But does anyone else have this feeling? This wasn't really what I was signing up for, or supporting or defending. This GNR (or the 2002 version or what ever) should have been a band standing on their own feet with more material. I guess it was naive to think GNR would evolve into something else, almost Aerosmith-ish with new material. That's what I was hoping for anyway.
I'll be more active once there's talk, REAL talk of new material written, Axl working with DJ making new music. You can tour Chinese Democracy THIS much, and then it's fine. Another tour is the wrong step, at least for me. For the thousands going to shows I am pleased, I would have been there too.
But it wasn't truly what I signed up to support.
Re: GN'R returns to the UK
I'm just rolling with it, gonnie see them live and loud and thoroughly looking forward to it.
I keep saying it, Axls 50 now and the years are catching him up, so catch him while you can cause he could quite well call it a day in the next few years.
I dont expect to see him again in Glasgow after this year thats for sure 
Re: GN'R returns to the UK
I was kinda thinking something similar DCK. I get the feeling this tour is going to go on and on and on again without any new material or progression.
It's fun and all and I would go see them again for sure, but it really is time to take another step forward with some new music. Sadly though once the touring stops I fear Axl could go into hibernation again.
Hope all the recent positives mean that's not the case and this time it's different.
Re: GN'R returns to the UK
I've always had the feeling there was a reason for touring like this, not because of any grand plan or scheme, but there's a serious financial reason for it. And I still believe future recording depends on this band funding it themselves. This might be the crux of the problem with the label.
But I am hopeful with all the stuff happening recently that something good is on the horizon.
Re: GN'R returns to the UK
Yeah reading between the lines it definitely sounds like they need to pull in some touring dollars. Particularly after having to tour for nothing as part of the Azoff thing.
That may mean a lot more touring before something else happens. Particularly as you say if Axl is going to fund an album himself.
Re: GN'R returns to the UK
we have no idea what is going on outside of booked tour dates. The theatre run doesn't disturb me as much as the massive summer Euro tour.
Either they got something up their sleeve (new music wise) between March and May, or Axl literally is touring cause he wants the cash (of course we have no idea why he would need/want the cash). The RRHOF or right after is a perfect time to drop the rest of Chinese.
Of course, it won't happen.:headbang:

I'm starting to think that Axl truly does want to continue to "work Chinese". Which sounds ridiculous, and it is. But if that's the case, could we at least get a re-release with proper booklet, artwork, and maybe ONE new song added on?
