Title: how are they promoting the shows in your country (what footage) Post by: mikegiuliana on March 25, 2006, 08:38:22 AM I took this idea from what war rose told me in another thread where he mentioned on mtv in german news they were showing clips of the old band as in paradise city... Are they showing clips of the old guns in your area or taking the clips from the 2002 shows and playing them...?
Title: Re: how are they promoting the shows in your country (what footage) Post by: godiva on March 25, 2006, 08:43:05 AM So far there was a little news item on the television, teletext saying GNR will be performing and it's on the internet site of Goffertpark. That's it! Kinda surprises me. I thought there would be posters, flyers etc. Even in the postoffice this morning, GNR wasn't even listed on their list of what you can buy tickets for! ??? Of course, the show was announced Tuesday and ticket sale started today so there wasn't much time, but it is still amazing that I haven't seen it or read about it. People around me know I'm a big GNR fan and so far nobody called me to say did you know GNR is performing in the Netherlands?

Did the teletext say anything about the band or anything like it, or was it just a line on the bottom of your screen saying gnr playing _____? Are ticket sales going along? Title: Re: how are they promoting the shows in your country (what footage) Post by: MR W,AXL ROSE on March 25, 2006, 08:51:14 AM if it wasnt for this site,i wouldnt know they were playin a tour this year.there was promotion ads in mags n newspapers for the last tour but ive seen nothing yet this time.

I know people are saying in certain areas the tickets are selling fast, I only want to know hpw they are promoting them by each member's country.. Title: Re: how are they promoting the shows in your country (what footage) Post by: Evolution on March 25, 2006, 09:11:03 AM The Download website and here is the only places i've seen mentions.
"The Daily Record" made mention of the Axl eye spit thing but not one mention of the tour :-\ Title: Re: how are they promoting the shows in your country (what footage) Post by: WARose on March 25, 2006, 09:15:14 AM if i would not be a regular at gnr boards, i`d know that gnr are playing rar and some other festivals this year....
somewhere i read something along the lines of " despite the fight between slash and axl, the new gnr album "chinese democracy" is set to be released this summer and the band plans to play various festivals". so i guess it`s safe to say that there are lots of people who happen to be quite misinformed about the current situation in gnr..... but as i said before i can`t judge on the situation in other countries with headlining gnr shows... Title: Re: how are they promoting the shows in your country (what footage) Post by: badapple81 on March 25, 2006, 09:27:18 AM As mentioned, there are still what.. 2 months left to go before the shows?
Don't you think it's a good thing (for us hardcore fans at our community here) that they haven't advertised a lot at this stage? Seems cool and well deserved that we get kinda 'first picks' of the tickets. It would suck if we missed out because they sold out to people who aren't really big followers like us. Title: Re: how are they promoting the shows in your country (what footage) Post by: nesquick on March 25, 2006, 09:30:55 AM No promotion in France for the moment.
Title: Re: how are they promoting the shows in your country (what footage) Post by: Where is Hassan Nasrallah ? on March 25, 2006, 09:40:43 AM No promotion in France for the moment. there are posters for KORN's concert june 25th in paris in the metro, but nothing for GNR on the 20th ......

I can't believe I just said "soon". That word should be banned on GNR forums. :hihi: Title: Re: how are they promoting the shows in your country (what footage) Post by: Shoco on March 25, 2006, 09:57:55 AM there was radio adverts for the dublin show when it was first anounced they were playing, the advert included clips of the old bands songs, there was also adverts in the paper but i havent seen or heard anything in a good while
Title: Re: how are they promoting the shows in your country (what footage) Post by: Will on March 25, 2006, 10:02:16 AM Yep, no promotion whatsoever for now in France. I guess the only "promotion" is my site right now for the show in Paris. lol
Title: Re: how are they promoting the shows in your country (what footage) Post by: mikegiuliana on March 25, 2006, 10:06:24 AM wow I thought it would be a little different... I know there is time left...
Does it worry you at all forthe countries using clips of the old band that this can be misleading and cause problems if people were hoping to see others Title: Re: how are they promoting the shows in your country (what footage) Post by: Shoco on March 25, 2006, 10:09:49 AM Does it worry you at all forthe countries using clips of the old band that this can be misleading and cause problems if people were hoping to see others yeah that worries me, not everyone follows the band as closely ae we do and i think there will be some disapointed ppl when they go to the shows Title: Re: how are they promoting the shows in your country (what footage) Post by: WARose on March 25, 2006, 10:13:08 AM As mentioned, there are still what.. 2 months left to go before the shows?

Title: Re: how are they promoting the shows in your country (what footage) Post by: godiva on March 25, 2006, 10:22:11 AM Yes, it is cool that I get to be the one to tell others the band is performing this year. Oh, the teletext said only 'for the first time in 13 years GNR will be performing in the Netherlands. Which band members Axl Rose will bring on the stage with him will later be disclosed' (in other words: the promotors don't know that one either :hihi:) Some people complained that the word came out on Tuesday and that gave people very little time to get the money to buy tickets (4 days), especially since it is the end of the month. Well, tickets were only 45 euros a piece, which isn't bad considering it is a big band and Alice In Chains is opening.

Title: Re: how are they promoting the shows in your country (what footage) Post by: WARose on March 25, 2006, 10:36:36 AM Quote With the insiders I meant more like the second the tickets are on sale you will know, no chance you'll miss out.. yeah, but without promotion in the first place, the concerts are selling slow (in the beginning) and any hardcore gnr fan can get his ticket. then after two weeks the promotion kicks in and the concert sells out....( in the best case) would be a nice move from management if it was their intention. there are probably lots of people who don`t have the chance to attend a gnr concert in finland for example, because they didn`t get to know it early enough or might don`t even know it as of yet, but any gnr fan on this forum got his ticket.... Title: Re: how are they promoting the shows in your country (what footage) Post by: mikegiuliana on March 25, 2006, 11:54:07 AM I don't think that was their intentions,.. I really think it's just mismanaged.. I think they feel the tickets will sell and axl will show everything else is up for grabs.. There has been ages to have this thing started off right, they could have had this thing top notch right from the first tour date announcement
Title: Re: how are they promoting the shows in your country (what footage) Post by: Butch Français on March 25, 2006, 12:00:42 PM for the first Norway gig, all I saw was an ad in a newspaper. and they mentioned in the entertainment news.

I also wanted to say I can understand small metnions if they are playing a big festival with other acts where the fans will still buy tickets.. I think the harder part would be them touring as the main act with no promotion Quote i guess at this point, it`s to early to judge the promotion of this tour..... we`ll see what comes out of it I am sure it'll all go great, I am just suprised after such a long layoff and not knowing who exactly is in teh badn they would have had ti set up better faster Title: Re: how are they promoting the shows in your country (what footage) Post by: Meanmachine22 on March 25, 2006, 12:17:03 PM Germany:
besides the Rock am Ring Homepage and a small little mention on MTV i haven't seen any promotion until now...... Weird? Dumb? or maybe they are just not sure if they will show up at all???? I don't know!!!!!! ??? "The announcement starts soon....." Title: Re: how are they promoting the shows in your country (what footage) Post by: Ejay on March 25, 2006, 12:48:52 PM There were some advertisements in major daily newspapers in the netherlands (Spits and Telegraaf). In Spits there was even a small article about it, written by some frustrated journalist because he still has tickets of the GNR concert in the Netherlands in 2002 (also Nijmegen). But that's about it.

They only advertise shows that doesn't sell as good as they would like.
Title: Re: how are they promoting the shows in your country (what footage) Post by: oldgunsfan on March 27, 2006, 12:43:24 PM Hear in the USA, since we're not getting any dates, we got nothing, which is about what we ever get from Axl or his management company
Title: Re: how are they promoting the shows in your country (what footage) Post by: qazolmob on March 28, 2006, 01:18:33 AM Here in Finland I saw one TV ad featuring Live and Let Die footage. Gn'R also mentioned as rockgiant rarely doing gigs.
Then some mention in entertaiment news. Tickets sold out, another gig annouced also told in news. And that's the promo. I wonder if they had planned something but the gig(s) sold out too fast, I guess. Title: Re: how are they promoting the shows in your country (what footage) Post by: SADIS on March 28, 2006, 01:50:46 AM Like what was said earlier in this thread there's no promotion besides one ad in one small newspaper and the fact that GnR is performing popping up on some of the bigger newssites. But that's it.
The thing is however that I don't think it's selling that good here in the Netherlands. Title: Re: how are they promoting the shows in your country (what footage) Post by: mikegiuliana on March 28, 2006, 05:00:59 AM Hear in the USA, since we're not getting any dates, we got nothing, which is about what we ever get from Axl or his management company yeah you would think here they'd be like gnr is back but playing in europe first.... I know when cream did afew gigs in the uk American rock radio stations were always talking about it, saying I wish they would come here..... After a gnr song you hear nothing, maybe just that there are lawsuits out there So far it seems like "gnr" is billed with motley crue in some areas, old footage has been used in other countries and little or no adds on other places and no mentioned here in America Title: Re: how are they promoting the shows in your country (what footage) Post by: 0001001 on March 28, 2006, 05:11:35 AM MTV Germany aires a rock am ring commercial for all bands playing there. They use parts of the paradise city video as footage for the gn'r part.
Title: Re: how are they promoting the shows in your country (what footage) Post by: nesquick on March 28, 2006, 05:31:43 AM Sill no promotion in France.
Title: Re: how are they promoting the shows in your country (what footage) Post by: jameslofton29 on March 28, 2006, 05:44:28 AM Sill no promotion in France. Send some promoter in France a DVD bootleg from the 2002 tour. Maybe that would get the ball rolling.Title: Re: how are they promoting the shows in your country (what footage) Post by: Big Gun on March 28, 2006, 05:58:00 AM people stop buying tickets untill you hear a proper press release - dont get fooled. we all know about Axl's mood swings. he is not someone you can rely on just look at the facts guys.
Title: Re: how are they promoting the shows in your country (what footage) Post by: WARose on March 28, 2006, 07:17:25 AM Sill no promotion in France. Send some promoter in France a DVD bootleg from the 2002 tour. Maybe that would get the ball rolling.i don`t think it`s our function to promote gnr..... Title: Re: how are they promoting the shows in your country (what footage) Post by: KeVoRkIaN on March 28, 2006, 07:50:54 AM It's kind of sad that there is little to no promotion for the tour so far.....I was expecting something - good thread - will check it daily
Title: Re: how are they promoting the shows in your country (what footage) Post by: oldgunsfan on March 28, 2006, 04:14:12 PM It's kind of sad that there is little to no promotion for the tour so far.....I was expecting something - good thread - will check it daily you expected more :hihi:? if that's true, I got a bridge for sale Title: Re: how are they promoting the shows in your country (what footage) Post by: jarmo on March 28, 2006, 04:27:44 PM It's kind of sad that there is little to no promotion for the tour so far.....I was expecting something - good thread - will check it daily you expected more :hihi:?? if that's true, I got a bridge for sale FYI, even with this promotion several headlining arena shows sold out. I guess you'd want them to promote those as well so you could whine about them promoting sold out shows.... :rofl: /jarmo Title: Re: how are they promoting the shows in your country (what footage) Post by: Minneapolisnewsman on March 28, 2006, 04:31:05 PM In all fairness, GNR does not require much promo. I think the strategy/mgts bet is to sell as many tickets as possible before RIO, and then let the hype coming from a great showing there, fill the rest of the arenas. It is cost effective! Also, I don't think Sanctuary is in a position to fork out much cash on promotion right now.

Title: Re: how are they promoting the shows in your country (what footage) Post by: lul on March 28, 2006, 10:21:27 PM no wonder the old guys are suing axl.. he's misleading the poor people that the old band is playing.. :rofl:

Title: Re: how are they promoting the shows in your country (what footage) Post by: speed_stone on April 10, 2006, 03:45:45 PM is this tour even happening?
i don't feel certain :no: :'( but i want to be proved wrong everything would fall into place then Title: Re: how are they promoting the shows in your country (what footage) Post by: conny on April 10, 2006, 04:02:36 PM In Germany, MTV is promoting the show at "Rock Am Ring" festival with a 2 second clip of Axl and Slash from 1992/93.
Plus, in all TV spots, GN'R are mentioned after bands like Korn, Placebo and some random german bullshit acts even I have never heard of. That's all promotion the show gets. The concert promoter is obviously not intrested in promoting the band. They get a "one of many other bands" treatment, and though it's not 1992 anymore, I think they deserve a bit more than that. Very few promo, very bad promo. Same can be said about the concert in Nijmegen (Netherlands) that I will attend. On their website, the promoters were advertising the show with a pic of Slash and Duff! Great promotion... ::) Title: Re: how are they promoting the shows in your country (what footage) Post by: Comical Ali on April 10, 2006, 05:46:16 PM Ads play on Iraqi tv with footage of Axl Rose slaughtering that mongrel son of a motherless goat Vince Neil.
