Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Good promotion for this tour. I've seen TV ads on at decent times on channel 10, ads in major papers and all sorts of signs up.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FK6LJoG5MKI

If you have any TV ads you can scan, or photos of billboards, please post!

advertising new gnr with old gnr songs..........

You haven't seen that before? Get over it. It's all 'Guns N' Roses' You would be moaning if they re-did the songs with the new band and played those instead. They used all new footage.

 ::)

Anyways moving on, it's awesome that this TV ad is being played on a major channel during peak times!

last sunday i went to a decent newsagent in hobart and bought every states sunday paper i could.

All i got was the full page melbourne ad and the half page sydney ad.

After im done im getting them framed with my tickets, just like all my megadeth ones!!

id upload pics if i knew how....

I'm so happy that I've seen this Ad, thankx to you : ok: :beer:

Oh shut up you idiot! You get something nice and positive like this for Guns fans in Oz and you have to picky about what fucking music is used in the advert! Just be happy that there is coverage on a natioanl tv station for our favourite band and stop whning for the sake of it.

Mike

Cool TV add, thanks for posting


So who makes this? Someone from GNR, or someone from the promotion company?

The thing is: The band is returning to the Media, again... I pray for the thing going out fine now, and hope for the album to come out soon! ;)

Someone from the promotional company. They would get footage from the GN'R camp to use in it.

"CHINESE DEMOCRACY WORLD TOUR"  ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!  how do your words taste, people who said it wasn't called the chinese democracy tour any more?

Cool ad, looks like it's all Donington footage... Makes me starving for the complete proshot video. :(

*********
It is lame beyond belief that "Chinese Democracy World Tour" promotion is made with AFD studio audio. It would be sad already if they had used AFD songs recorded live by Axl's band, but to use studio GNR recordings of 20 years ago (when no one of GNR is there except Axl) is just lame (and deceitful, of course).
Luciano
*********

they had something similar to that on all the flat screens at the cleveland gig.

what else are they able to use though - seriously?  Would you like a promo ad with some live recordings from last year played over them? - i dont think the sound quality would work for a tv promo ad.  cant you be happy that they are showing current band footage in a promotional ad and touring somewhere they havent been in years - to the utter delight of many many fans Down Under???  Apparently not.

Nice advertising, if I would see an advertising like that here in Chile, again (92'),  I would die for hard attack....

Sorry about mi english, I'm not sure if I wrote correctly, I hope you understand anyway........

Hey, I've got an idea... What if they released the Chinese Democracy album BEFORE they try and embark on the Chinese Democracy World Tour.

For the third time.

 ;D  Kidding, of course.  That would be a retarded move. 

But seriously... Did anyone notice that in that whole promo, there wasn't a single shot of Pitman?  Okay, all the GNR fans from yesteryear get to see Axl shaking his money maker to Welcome to the Jungle.  Finck fans get some glory shots of the bearded one.  All the Australian Replacement fans are like, "Oh shit!  That's Tommy Stinson!  I'm SOOO buying tickets to this show!"

But what about the Pitmaniacs down under?  For all they know, Pitman isn't even in the band anymore. 

Lame.  That guy has busted his ass for GNR for nearly a decade.  Not only does he get shafted a solo during the live shows, now they're going to pretend like he's not even in the band during the promo's? 

B.S.   :rant: :rant:

cool,they used some live footage we didn't see

it's just me or in the end of the commercial the voice says "GN'R LIES"... ?? :confused:

Yeah, GN'R shouldn't use some of their most well known songs, that they even perform at the shows, to promote shows just because you say so.  ::)




/jarmo

Hey, at least it shows the band, more or less, and not just axl. thats certainly a good thing  : ok:

Nice TV ad!

awesomeness!  :beer: I so hope they'll come back to Finland on this tour  :)

You know, I almost have to agree.

I'd figure after 15 years, they'd be able to at least play a second or two of a new song.

I guess Axl never really did get over Slash.

 :D That's it!  the real band today.
everyone looks so cool. 

Sounds like you didn't get over the fact that Slash quit over ten years ago.

They're using Guns N' Roses classics in a promotional clip promoting the Guns N' Roses shows in Australia . Who would've guessed?





/jarmo

He says "GNR LIVE"

Not true.

I have accepted it. I just don't like it.

Guns N Roses w/out Slash is like Van Halen w/out Eddie Van Halen. It just doesn't work.

Jarmo, I didn't understand your last sentence. Are you saying you agree that they use the "old band image" to sell these shows. Why ? If Axl didn't need these guys he shouldn't need there help when it comes to ticket sales either.

Didn't he promise years ago, that he was enough to keep the guns firing ?

then why do you come here if you think it doesn't work? is it just to say, "nah nah,  i told you it wouldn't work"?


im glad that there is some promo, but who is to say that the promo was engineered by GnR and not the concert promoter makinig a push for ticket sales?

Well then, you won't feel welcome here.






Are you that ignorant?


If you go to a GN'R show, not that you would because you don't accept change, what songs do you expect to hear?

Any of these: Welcome To The Jungle, Sweet Child O' Mine, Nightrain, Paradise City?





/jarmo

Pathetic.

Mike

Even more pathetic, and to think Axl wasted a few precious moments of his life talking with you. Mike

And taking pictures.

I hated to waste Axl's time, but since he was only drinking booze and dancing, I figured it was okay.  It's not like I interrupted the mixing process or anything. 

they got good songs and by that I mean fvcking new good songs now ,why wouldn't they use them to advertise this.....they did before,................ didn't they use madagascar before???? and that was years ago : ok:

You certainly think you are one clever cookie dont you my man? Always a clever answer and thinking you are one step ahead of others. When you had the great honour of meeting the man himself, did you stand there and be an opinionated cock about the band or axl himself like you are on this website quite often? I think not. I would imagine it went a little something like this: Kissed his arse and tried to big up your pathetic website! Muppet! Mike

guys...these tv ads and promos are edited by the local networks....using the material they have on archive....

its important that you understand how these things get put together....usually with very little lead time, and the editor and producer in question are often under extreme pressure to turn the clip around in record time, so it makes the air that evening or the next day.....so its usually the very first thing which comes up in their library that they use....

unless they get specific directives from someone with regards to what to use, these guys couldn't care less who is in the ad and who isn't....it is under the label "guns n' roses" and that is what they use...

the sa shows promo features both axl and slash in a live environment....but that is in no way a reflection on the band, its management, or any other business directive...

it was simply, the editor who made that call, as he/she had to do the tv ad very quickly, and that is what they had.

over-analysing it is a waste of time....its great news that the australian network has some new lineup footage.

Exactly! Well said my man! To me it was just great to see an advert that has been aired on national television with footage of the new band promoting their shows! Mike

They have no choice really, as 'Welcome to the Jungle' and 'Sweat Child Omine' are the tracks that made Gn'R, and the tracks that Gn'R will always be remembered for.

Have to agree, the advert is somewhat missleading, as the audio does sound like the same audio as used on AFD, and they show images of the new band, which only includes one member from the AFD era  :peace:

misleading to who?
you and me maybe....but not anyone else...

put yourself in a position of these guys....they know perhaps....one, two, five gnr songs at most?

WTJ
Paradise
SCOM
November Rain

if you do a quick cut, energetic edit, you will use what suits it best....which often is either jungle or pc....or scom solo....no mere mortal is going to sit there and debate the true story of a band they probably don't even care about....whether it is musically correct or not...

the promoter is paying through their ass for the tv air and production time....and the shorter it takes to pull it off, the cheapr it is for them....

its about getting your money's worth on prime time tv...when your target market is watching....whether you use a still image or some moving footage is irrelevant....

sorry to say, but no one other than the members of these forums give a shit about this type of content....

Ignorant ? No I hold a college degree.

I never said that I didn't accept change.

I guess that I'm just able to look at the two bands, differentiate between the two, and pick the one that I think is better. I've seen them both live, so I can fairly say this. After all these years, they still have no official release as a band. That says alot.

I went and saw the new gunners twice last year and both were great shows, they really were. Everyone seemed to play there heart out and I thought it was great time. I'll be there waiting in line too the day that the album comes out. (For the record, I bet anything that it's not this year).

I just wanted to clarify myself. I didn't come here because I don't like the new band, because that's definitely not true. I'm a huge gunner fan, I just think that for us to get a true gunner album, Slash is a must.

*misleading to who?*
Missleading to those who see the advert and hear the music, only to arrive at the gig to discover there's a different bunch of guys standing on the stage playing the tunes. That's pretty missleading  :hihi:

they will still get to hear those songs live....that's what they're going for in anycase...to hear their old favorites live....

Agreed. They will get to hear their old favourites as performed by a new group. Thats a fact.

sure....also, 90% of gnr concert goers now know that slash is no longer....so those tv ads are not misleading at all....at most, it may cause a slight case of confusion....but definitelly not disappointment....far from that.

I think most people would agree, the advert should have used audio from the new band :)

no ways...unless its a generic guitar riff....no ways in hell....maybe in the US, where the fans are a little bit more literate when it comes to the gnr state of affairs....but on other continents....you want to sell out those arenas....so using the afd soundtrack is the safest way to go...

In that case, (and FWIW I don't want to see a reunion) If there was ever to be a reunion, then they shouldn't do Better, Catcher, The Blues et al, either with the original line up - get real. ?

The music and the band have evolved, they have every right to refer to their history in promoting the tour, the other sold their claim to the name and the music - get over it...

By using the 'afd soundtrack', isn't that the same as saying the new band need the help of 'Slash and the boys' to help sell out arenas. So are you saying, if they used audio from the new band, the arena tickets would not sell so well?

They could have used 'Oh MY God' and the re recorded 'Sweat Child Omine'  ;D

its not the same at all....axl wrote all those songs with his friends...he has every right to use them for whatever he wants....

yes, the afd soundtrack on a tv ad has a better chance of getting a positive response than a chorus from madagascar....

but anyway, that's besides the point, read a few posts above, i explained how these ads get put together, so its not axl's directive to use afd material, its probably a generic decision taken up by some post production staff member who was doing it....

i seriously doubt that the ad had to go through an approval process of any kind....so what we see is probably the first and only draft of it.

Can you imagine if VR used a TV advert showing the members of VR with audio of 'Its So Easy' featuring Axl on vocals. Wouldn't that be viewed as missleading  :)

yeah hear the music..SEE the commercial which has the new band playing the songs live..sure its old recordings..but the guys they see on the screen are going to be the ones at the concert..DUH!?

So suddenly Slash is responsible for creating Appetite For Destruction on his own and GN'R are using his name to sell tickets?

How many times does it need repeating before you Slash lovers get it?

They're using Guns N' Roses songs to promote the Guns N' Roses concerts where Guns N' Roses will most likely perform those old classic Guns N' Roses songs.

Do you see a pattern here?




/jarmo

ah...but VR is an active band, and It's so Easy is not a part of their discography....they have an active management team, and probably a PR agent, who would ensure that the TV ad gets done in a manner which benefits the band...

completely different story.

Agreed. Sure, you'll see the same guys as were on the commercial, and get a different sound  :peace:

It seems to take a very long time for it to settle in with a lot of these idiots Jarmo. They cant move on, they cant accept change and they are very quick to moan about the band and its members! Mike

live renditions of studio recordings always sound different.....

Any former member should have the right to play GnR song.. That goes for Slash, Duff Izzy, Steven and Axl!
Axl is still in GnR. so why shouldent he use the bands classics to promote his tour? When Gilby joind the band.. should they
drop any kind promotion which included Appetite material`?

Is this for real?

You really don't see the difference?

I give up, I don't know how to explain that GN'R will play GN'R songs at the GN'R shows to you......

Do you want me to make a picture for you or something? Would that make it easier?





/jarmo

Agreed. The new band are using Gn'R material to promote the new Gn'R line up, to help sell tickets, so that people can hear those old classic Gn'R songs performed live.

Yes I do see the pattern.

The sooner the new band release their album the better.
There are times I sense they are afraid. Afraid of being judged on their own work.

sorry redx, but i gotta give it to jarmo on this one.....you are fighting a losing battle....

the band is doing nothing wrong or morally incorrect by using this type of promotion....its not their decision, so they're not the ones to blame...i do understand where you're coming from, as i feel the same way very often, but in this scenario....you're off the mark.

We don't even know if it's the band,. It might just be something the promoter did to sell tickets.

That's fine too.

Those songs are the ones people know and love to hear.


You can't promote a show with "Come and listen to obscure b-sides and unreleased tracks picked by a group of fans on an online message board".....





/jarmo

It's the way that you say this that is misleading, jarmo.

You say GN'R will play GN'R songs ? What you should say out of fairness, is that the new GN'R will play the classic lineups songs.

By you saying this the way that you do, it appears that you are talking about the same band. Before anyone throws out "they are the same band". I'm well aware Axl decided to keep the "band name" the same, but they are most certainly not the same band. That is not a put down to the new band. It is just a factual statement.

that's what i said....its usually the promoter who decides on these things....bands don't advertise themselves when they go on tour....its usually the promoters or the sponsors who generate the marketing material.

How do we know that it isn't actually clips of the rerecorded AFD?

Even though I'm sure it isn't, but ya never know.

Get real  :hihi:

because no one else other than Axl Rose and his immediate team has access to those....i doubt they would hand them out to some promoter somewhere....we all know those guys are real trustworthy.... :beer:

cool ad
lame songs

Sorry for my ignorance but in your definition were the band in 1992 and in 1988 same? Or in 1996?

You expect the promotor, who has probably alread spent tens of thousands, if not more, to organise these shows, book the arenas etc. not to use the biggest GN'R songs to promote the concerts and get people to them so he/she actually gets a return from their investment? Wake up people.

AC/DC, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, Metallica, Pearl Jam etc etc etc


They all have played or still play songs that were recorded with different line ups.

I guess that's fine because they're not GN'R?





/jarmo

ajJAja This Topic Is Very... very Funny...

GUNS N' ROSES Are back... In Your Face !!

* SOLD OUT *

HBK *

I wish they'd put the old band in the promos, like they did with the European tour.? That gets people just as excited as hearing the old band's music.

The VR comparison was weak.  Let me try and explain the difference for you $lash fans...

Axl sings for Guns N' Roses.  He owns a piece of paper that CLEARLY STATES that whoever is playing in a band with him is "Guns n' Roses."  Slash does not own such a piece of paper.  Therefore, Slash's band (even if it featured, Steven, Duff and Izzy) would still not be "Guns N' Roses."  On the other hand, if Axl hired a bunch of clowns and midgets from a  kid's birthday party, they would be Guns N' Roses.  And as a result, they would have EVERY RIGHT IN THE WORLD to publicize their tour using the songs / image of the "old" band.

But this "old band" vs. "new band" debate is tired.  There's no such thing as "old" or "new."  There's no such thing as a "band."  There is Axl, his legal documents, and a legacy of great music.   :beer:

HBK,
thank you for keeping us on track with regard to tour locations, tour dates, ticket sales, etc....
You are a priceless resource.. : ok:

Guns n ' Roses never disappeared man, was there all the time, in independent projects but was there all the time, until today.

...and where is the chemistry of music my friend?...the "thing" that made YOU a GN'R fan? :peace:

Saw the Red Hot Chili Peppers last night at the Acer Arena (awesome show!) and there was a huge banner hanging out the front for Guns N Roses. It wasn't actually a very good banner, the symbol etc were stupid, but WOOO!

you are right

HBK *

What the fuck is wrong with you 2? If you dont like it then stay the fuck out. Go play in the VR section.\


 :peace:

It's disappointing to see a positive topic about an Ad for the upcoming GN'R Aussie tour turn into another old vs new thread.

Like has been said, the promoter will want return on their investment of bringing GN'R here so I doubt they'd use unreleased songs from CD as their hook in an Ad.

If CD was out already, it may be a different scenario, but it's not yet, so the big hits that people already know were used. Big f**kin deal!



I still haven't seen this on tv yet. What time has it usually been shown?

Its reminds me of the Metallica thread LOL

I aint seen the ad either. Apart from youtube but has it been on any other stations apart from 10?


 :peace:

Wow.. this got very serious uh!! 1st of all, this ad was done by fuckin' promoters, we don't even know if this gigs will happen. And I can't believe that you guys are bringing back that old Slash discussion, you know I'm tired...

Since I got to understand what this new band is about: W. Axl Rose, everything became easier to accept, this is Axl's support band, and there is nothing wrong with that, well, maybe the fuckin name, but I still hope for the day that Axl will understand that people don't need to be hold by a name, they don't go to concerts to see GNR, but to see Axl fuckin' Rose! ;)

Couldnt have said it better myself, Axls a smart business man, but may not have street smarts i.e he didnt have to keep the name for the "new band",
Once chinese democracy is released, he will be relieved in knowing that the album itself will carry the band alot further then the name "guns n roses" ever could!.

 Fuck.... people lets just wait and see....

you're right
well only on gunsnroses shows people want to hear b songs not hit songs.
it's great promo i only want to know how did they get welcome to the jungle from donington

Ya, and they're also promoting it as the Chinese Democracy World Tour.

It's a shame they're not using songs from the actual Chinese Democarcy album to use as promotion.  ::)

Or better yet, they should call it the Appetite for Destruction World Tour...at least then it would match their promotion tactics.

 This board needs group therapy!!

Some of you nerds are never happy.

Its funny how many of the members have a victim mentality. I just like GN'R past and present, whatever happens happens. I am just happy with all the music I have been exposed to by GN'R ChiDem or not!

That is what I'm saying. They are fucking touring and have an ad for a tour. Is that good? No, because they are playing a song from AFD (never mind that is probably the most recognized song by the band for the general public.) Boo hoo hoo.

Whatever happens, happens, and while that happened, I got to see them 5 times and shake Axl's hand. You know what? I'll take that.

 Just to clarify I was not attacking you ^^

wow, how many times are we going to go around in circles on this one?
can't you read man?

its not them who are doing this.....the sooner you understand this, the easier it will be to deal with it.

^^^sorry i didnt read all five pages.? It's the aussie's who put this ad together?? They don't have to pass it by any of the GNR crue? weird...and even weirder that the GNR crue would have accepted an AFD promotional ad for a chinese democracy world tour.... ::)

yeah.
these are always done locally, and paid for by the promoter and the sponsor....the band gets paid upfront a fixed fee, and that's it for them....then its up to the promoter to make as much money as they can to pay off the investment....so they usually tend to push out cheaply produced tv ads....

they won't take the risk of using any new material for promos.....it would be just plain silly of them to do that.

I guess it's hard to express a sarcastic tone over the internet...because I thought I laid it on pretty heavy.

But since you explained it so nicely and friendly maybe I can detract my sarcasim.? :-*

Checkout this gronk whos extorting guns n roses fans by selling gnr aus tickets 3 TIMES! !! !! WHAT THERE WORTH


Good one William Bailey69 , your a Great sculper, NOT!!!

Dont buy from this dkhead!

Seriously, some of you need to get a grip of yourselves. "WTTJ in a GNR commercial? That sucks, no one but Axl is still in the band that recorded it..."

So what? Axl was there, contributed to the song, effin sang it... but no, can't use it in a commercial?

So that'd be like every band that has ever gone through a line-up change needs to stop using their old songs for promotion purposes.

Best GNR years for a long time, 2006 and now this year. But some of you are never happy.

It still doesn't make sense that they're using 20 year old songs to promote a new tour. At least include a couple seconds of one of the new songs

Well considering they haven't toured Australia in 14 years, they're not that old to the Aussie crowd... :hihi:

like the Boston 2002 promo they just could have thrown in 8-10sec of new music parts by the new band and still blast paradise, scom whatever. the more die hard fans would love it for sure, and all others would also have seen that there is new stuff to come (pretty interesting one aswell maybe) actually played by the band they will get to see live!

wouldnt be hard to do, huh? but hey, there is a (most likely) full Maddy from the Boston02 promo floating around so its easy to put 1+1 together that the gnr camp doesnt want to take the risk again more leaks occur just cause of an aussie tv commercial? :hihi:

Please understand that the promotor puts this together and probably has limited material to work with.

Jarmo could you please clean this thread up if you have time? I'd love to post some scans of cool ads and stuff but they will probably get lost with all these jackasses comments which belong back in 1999.

Some of you need to get over it. It has been years already. If you hate it that much, why are you still coming back?? Spend your time on something you enjoy and support, put some positivity in your lives. Go away!

1. boston promo was done in the states. in the Us, gnr feature more prominently in media. chances are pretty good that gnr management may have had a say in that tv ad.

2. if the australian network was to do the same, this would result in the production time being extended from a few hours to at least 2-3 days...who is going to pay for this time?

3. gnr has nothing to do with these ads....so stop pretending like they do.

so you actually know for sure gnr camp had nothing to do with their Proshot footage in this tv add?

no....i am 100% positive that gnr had nothing to do with the EDIT of the pro shot footage....not the filming of it...

The images were most likely supplied by the GNR camp, but it's up to the promotor to pay a company to make an ad out of them.

Agree, agree. ?some of you are like a dog with a bone. ?PUT.IT.DOWN. ?It's fkn dull that you cant deal with songs on a promo ad. Relax and let the Aussie fans enjoy what really is their thread to post ads and othe tidbits - but not if you insist on bringing it down. ?What if there was no promotion at all? - bet some of you would be the first to vocalise your thoughts on THAT.

I would like to see any other scans you have gunner down under. ?: ok:

Guys, when GN'R toured Australia in 93 it was massive. Competitions, TV ads, full page newspaper ads. 2007 is no different. The buzz and hype for this tour is massive. Do not underestimate the pulling power of Axl Rose and his band, Guns N' Roses. And from day 1, the press release and all the information has been honest in regards to who is in the band, clearly stating that Axl has a new line up and who they are.

Just check out this FULL PAGE ad in today's largest NATIONAL NEWSPAPER for Guns N' Roses:

Apologies for the flash reflection, I laminated it as I'm going to make a cool framed pic or something out of it.

(http://www.freewebs.com/gunnerdownunder/gnrad.JPG)

Great! and the image is great too.

Good thread downunder.  : ok: shame many strange replies.

Since the new (2007) Gn'R line up have chosen (or had chosen for them by the promoter) to use 1986 era audio to promote the new Gn'R line up as part of an Aussie televison ad campaign. Will the 1986 members recieve payment (royalties) or will they have to fight for it through the courts. As it would be a shame for Axl to have to be preoccupied with legal issues at the present moment in time. Like anyone else, I would not want to see CD delayed further, and excuses given  :)

The sooner the band hit Aussie, the sooner we'll get to know if the 2007 Gn'R line up have any new songs to play. The new world tour has after all been labeled the Chinese Democracy World Tour  : ok:

Oh shut the fuck up.

You're not gonna ruin this thread with your trolling. Either shut the fuck up or get banned.  :)

 : ok:



/jarmo

new songs or no new songs
..what side of the fence are you on?

I want to hear new songs  :)

Nope.

They're using Guns N' Roses classic songs to promote the new "AXL's Guns N' Roses" concerts where Axl and his new band (that he calls Guns n' Roses) will perform those classic Guns N' Roses songs.

What's wrong? You're not getting enough attention in your normal  life?


The next one who comes here whining about GN'R songs used to promote GN'R shows will be banned.

Get over the name issue already.





/jarmo

excellent work man, i'd love to see more if you can get your hands on it.


dude....99% of this stuff is common knowledge....if you do a bit of research, you will find out that the TV and Radio stations usually pay one fixed amount for a fixed period of usage of material....it usually comes in 6 month or 1 yr stints....and that is cheap....now, for a promo such as this...which may run for a month at most, a few times a week....it is literally peanuts....by the time all the paperwork gets filed and processed, there will be no money left to split amongst anyone....its only with holywood blockbusters that the cash in question amounts to a serious sum of money....not with little ads....

EDIT: Also, in return for not having to pay royalties, TV stations and promoters usually give a discount on air time to the client....which means that the audio and visual material is free to air for the band....so it could be that the promoter struck more than one deal with more than one person to make this happen....its neither surprising or unusual in business...


anyway, back on topic....i got the FHM issue with a full feature on Axl Rose this month, in time for the concerts, will scan it in tomorrow...and post...

Please don't change the subject. It is not about my life and how much attention I get. It is about this Australian TV promo for Chinese Democracy World Tour. I made a comment (I think it is LAME and DECEITFUL to use AFD studio versions to promote this tour). I expressed my opinion. That is what this place is all about, isn't it? If you want to ban me for that, be my guest. Oh, and please don't tell me ("Get over the name issue already") what to do. You can ban me from here - after all this is YOUR board - but you can't tell me what to do. Instead, you could use clever arguments to convince me that this band is GNR and not Axl's band as you believe. But it seems you are short of arguments so you are instead using your power as the owner of the board to intimidate me, right?

Fine, then. You're out of here fucking troll.



Bye.

Have a nice day.




/jarmo

Would you have been happier if they used classic songs re-recorded by the new lineup? I doubt it.

It's not misleading that they only play AFD hits in the ads. That's what they play live, and that's what average, casual, non-internet fans want to hear.

What do you expect the ads to be like? 

Madagascar plays in the background...

NARRATOR'S VOICE:  "The band you know and love:  Axl Rose, Robin Finck, Richard Fortus, Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal, Brain/Frank, Dizzy Reed, Tommy Stinson and Chris Pitman, playing all the soon-to-be hits from their still upcoming album Chinese Democracy!"

Honestly, the truth is a promoter probably put this thing together, along with tons of other promos.  I'll bet they couldn't even name more than one person in the band anyways.  At least they used current concert footage this time. 

Velvet Revolver In Chile I promote myself with Own, special Subjects of GNR & SWEET CHILD O' MINES of GUNS N' ROSES in the commercial ones of Radio.

And?

they are advertising GnR shows with GnR songs. whats the big deal?    They are also using footage of current band members, so there is nothing wrong with this promo at all.

That's a sweet ad, thanks for posting.  I like how they're always changing designs, albeit not on a drastic scale.

probably that was too much for him.   Imagine if you were one of the ghosts from the last century...
with too dated ideas... :nervous:

WHY ALL THE HOSTILITY THESE DAYS?   :-\
I REALLY LIKE COMING HERE AND READING THESE THREADS AND ARGUMENTS (GOOD OR BAD), BUT SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF TIMES WHEN THERE'S AN ANSWER FROM YOU, IT'S OFTEN VERY HOSTILE. C'MON, LET'S ALL HAVE FUN AND ENJOY THE UPCOMING WORLD TOUR INSTEAD!  :D

This thread was intended to post photos and scans of ads, as us Australians are excited about the upcoming tour, as we have been GN'R starved for over 14 years. Unfortunately it has to be ruined by people who have suddenly realised that they arent over the old band and the new band Axl has. Well those arguments were okay in 1999 but we are over it in 2007. This board should be about being excited about last years and this years awesome tour and GNR activity. I think by now the fans who arent able to move on, should have left and moved on to a more suitable board such as a Velvet Revolver one - and if they haven't realised that and have to keep coming and ruining the threads, they should be removed.

Very good post! Couldnt agree more with you mate! Mike

I do agree also - I am merely saying let's all chill instead of lashing out at people all the time...  8)    : ok:

That's not the way it works since I'm not gonna let a little group ruin the excitement for the rest of us.

Well said Gunnerdownunder, can't believe some of the crap that has been said in this thread.

To get back on topic here is an ad from this weeks edition of BEAT magazine in Melbourne.

Should look pretty cool once framed with a concert ticket in the bottom corner. :beer:

nice ad

im really happy to see "Chinese Democracy World Tour 2007" on it

didnt realise that had been officially announced as the name.  Or is this a poster made by the promoter, and he's just labelled it as such?

 ???

no, it is officially called "Chinese Democracy World Tour 2007" ;) or at least with those words..

 :hihi:

Jarmo, your a hoot!

It's like telling a little kid not to touch the stove and they still do!

I have to say I'm fairly excited about these ads. I hope the tour sells and goes well in Australia. I'm also hoping for something to start leaking our way soon in the States with regard to official tour date announcements.

cheers Blackrose for the image. :D


isn't it interesting that the postponed tour was a part of the world tour?
"Guns N' Roses have announced that they are postponing the start of their world tour,"

probably nothing. (off topic too.) Or the world tour is starting on or after july?

"Chinese Democracy World Tour 2007"

Bittersweet... God me !!

It's good to see on this poster that the word Guns is readable, unlike the other poster.
Why do they continue to help Bach out. Its not like he's any good, or has anything great to add  :peace:

That's your opinion. Skid Row were a big late 80s early 90s band and hearing him sing some of those classics is awesome. I saw him last year and it was good. I'd say his appearance in My Michelle is something great to add.

Great pic Blackrose.

HBK make sure you credit the photos if you post in other forums eh  :peace:  :)

I'd like to get a better copy of my pic for the Sydney show. Mine is from a newspaper, I need a glossy mag pic. Give me a heads up anyone of you see any ads in any mags.

I' M Sorry... No problem,. thanz for pic's... Blackrose & you.

That full page Ad gunnerdownunder posted from Wednesday was also in Thursday's paper too, another full page ad!
Great to see they're really pushing the advertising with this. : ok:

Anyone want to mail me a couple ad's?

Without going too much off topic, or starting an old vs new debate, I came across this on ebay - the tour poster from their 1993 Aussie tour:

wtfffffffffff
they have the exact same support this time round
thats fucking crazy

sebastian bach instead of skid row but rose tattoo aswell
Omg

Yeah, it is kinda odd that it's almost the same line up, but it's also very cool for those of us that missed that concert last time! :beer:

I don't think anyone would've thought back in 1993 that both Axl Rose and Sebastian Bach would tour Australia again 14 years later with a completely different bunch of guys in their respective bands.

We fellow aussies down in South Australia are also mighty pumped about this tour. Some dumkoffs from The Advertiser wrote a beat up about the ticket prices for the presale - slow news day perhaps. Triple M is also giving the tour ad alot of air time too! Love the American voiceover!!

LOL year the american voiceover.....weird :D

Credit to my friend JP from the cd.com forum for taking this in an alley way that stank like piss and sending it to me!

That's cool, he should steal it out of that pissy alley way! :hihi:

Can someone steal that and send me one?

Finally saw the television Ad for the Sydney shows on tv tonight! : ok:

It's been updated too, saying that the first show is sold out and that the second and final show is on sale now. Very fuckin cool! :beer:

Triple M in Adelaide mentioned the concert today and played Paradise City!!!! This was a treat - normally it's November Rain and SCOM that get thrashed!!
