Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Found on twitter. Legit?

Birmingham seems kinda outta place for the UK when it's only 2 dates here

Not sure how the rest of the dates line up with festivals that are occuring this summer either

Most likely fake.

People are saying it was momentarily up on gunsnroses.com

Dont know about the rest of the dates. But the Portugal date is legit.

Every outlet here including tv channels are reporting the date.

Tickets will be available tomorrow, i think its to soon,its probably for the fan club first

I'm going with, beat the promoter to it.  They're suppose to announce first, right?

No big artist has played in Turkey in recent years.Probably fake.
Also, 2 shows in the Balkan area don't usually happen.Noone plays in Sofia AND Belgrade 3 days later.

I'm sure there will be a tour in Europe next Summer, just not sure this poster is legit.

Also, "Because what you want and what you get are two completely different things", what is it supposed to mean?

Wait, somebody over at Reddit pointed out Vienna is not in Italy.  Typo?

"But if you try sometime you'll find,
You get what you need."

I think it's true, knowing that the war gonna break out in Europe they gonna find an excuse to postpone it  :rofl: :rofl: And they will put the album as well as a condition to stop the incoming war.  :rofl: :rofl:

A new tour is great but c'mon just release a new album or at least a few really new songs written by this lineup

Is this the "Because what you want & what you get are two completely different things" reference?

I think it's real, if you search on Google for the past 24 hours it's on the Livenation website, but the page is now offline

Read in a Norwegian newspaper that a promoter in Trondheim were supposed to announce an act yesterday, but the announcement has been postponed till next monday @ 10:00 local time.

I think it's real too.  I think there was a promoter problem.  And I hope somebody fixes the typo.   :hihi:

It's real. So just be prepared to get tickets next week :beer:

Whoever made this poster must have failed their geography class.

I think Birmingham is a bad choice, it needs to be Manchester or further north. They're missing half the country

Wow, somebody over at MyGNR, yeah I go there, said that "what you get" saying is from back in the early days.

So... a quote from a 1985 concert flyer. I'm curious about the significance.

The largest arena in Aarhus, Denmark is a shitty 5,000 seater.


FAKE!

Metallica in 2007 @ Vestereng, Aarhus

Ohhhhh, outdoor. Got it.  : ok:

The flyer from '85... it'll be GN'R's 40th anniversary in 2025.

Great find!

That is a great find.   :D

All the credits to the MyGNR member. I only searched for it when you mentioned that it was from the early days.

What? You mean it wasn't the band making fun of their fans? It was an obscure reference to something on a flyer from 1985 that described GN'R then and still describes them to this day?

The 1985 quote proved to be Incredibly Prophetic!

Come to think of it, it'll be the band's first time being active during such an anniversary.

10th - 1995, inactive
20th - 2005, inactive
30th - 2015, inactive
40th - 2025, world tour?

AFD5-reunion ?

Just kidding...that's not what I want at all.
Chinese line-up is what I like.

But when they keep on doing what they did the last year is OK too.
Last tour I skipped but if it fits my schedule and my wallet I might go see them again.

Yeah, folks went there for a minute with the AFD5.  The thought doesn't really appeal to me either.  Although I do think there is something to Steven's drumming that adds a spark to some of the songs.

I miss the Chinese line-up too.  Interesting band.  I'm on the fence about seeing them again.  Would like to support them but I'm not good with big stadium tours and high ticket prices.

was having the ticket price discussion with someone the other day

it used to be that bands toured to promote a new release and that the recordings would make money and the tour itself would generate relatively little in comparison.

It seems to have reversed nowdays with streaming offering little money so ticket prices have increased way above inflation

well that and ticketmaster are assholes and price gouge in every conceivable way

It's a fair comment about ticket prices. The cost of food in the UK has gone up 2.5 to 3 times since the mid to late 80s. Tickets for a big band at Wembley would cost 10 to 25 pounds back then, so the increase in ticket prices over the years has been disproportionate

Yes, and I guess people who started thinking music should cost nothing, or less than a cup of coffee didn't think the industry would compensate for this loss of income somehow.

I don't think anybody is really to blame.  Businesses and governments lost money during the pandemic.  It's been passed onto current prices.  Younger people think they have more money/credit to spend on entertainment.  Tomorrow is a long way off for them.  The older crowd has a different view, tomorrow is coming up pretty quick.  We remember the old prices and we've seen that band.  The bucket list is still full.  Not a matter of not wanting to support a band but it's looking like an album is more in the price range.  At least from my view.

It's not always to validate spending that amount of money on a concert. I've been there myself. I had to skip seeing GN'R in 1993 because spending money on traveling to Stockholm and the ticket wasn't doable. Same thing in 2002 when there were no shows anywhere near me.

But then you have the ones who say things like "I will only go if _______ ". I mean, what are they waiting for? Some places might get shows on every tour, other places won't. Support live music while you can.





/jarmo

I don't get that either.  It's such a bummer when your favorite band comes through town and for whatever reason you are sitting at home while they are on stage. 

Last year I gifted my brother a ticket to our favorite band.  He had to turn me down, couldn't walk that far or sit that long.  How many times had we passed them up because we were adulting?  This was the last time and he couldn't 'get on the bus'.

Tbh I’ll always go see gnr, regardless of ticket price.

My guess would be if this is remotely true europe in the summer and maybe US in the fall/winter. At Axl's age god bless him who knows how many tours he has left in him so if they come I must go  ;D

I think these European dates are pretty much confirmed... give or take.

Expecting the announcement tomorrow at 10:00 CET

Im ready... Already booked hotel.... Just in case

They are playing the Ritz show from 91 on the national TV in Bulgaria. Pretty much happening I believe.

Haha, me too!! 🤞

Nothing yet… I’m going by the Trondheim promoter, and they said today @ 10:00. Nothing has been announced as of now (not any other band either, just in case this wasn’t GN’R).

Maybe they were wrong.





/jarmo

Seems to be. Odd to be so specific with the day and time though.

Now the promoter says Monday Dec 9 @ 10:00.

This is starting to remind me of those times when people claimed they knew the release date for Chinese Democracy.




/jarmo

Haha, absolutely! The local promoter is working in collaboration with Live Nation, so you’d expect them to have accurate information. I’m guessing it’s a case of the details not being fully finalized in time.

Haha, true! Something’s brewing though, surely

I was thinking any Tuesday.  :hihi:

It is. There are physical adverts around and about in Europe. Obviously the announcement has been delayed for whatever reason

the announcement has been clearly delayed for the last 2 weeks for some reason.

Here in portugal it got leaked badly over 3 weeks ago and every media outlet including tv channels already reported they are playing on June 6th for the past 2 weeks.

I have no idea if this is remotely true (the Euro tour)...but I'd add there may be a reason they delayed the announcement (if there was one planned) yesterday:

AC/DC announced their US tour dates.

They may not have wanted to step on toes, given that.

GnR stuff being delayed???  :rofl:

Can't be delayed forever. Next Monday👍

Have you noticed how many of the AC/DC tour articles mention Axl?






/jarmo

A LOT!

In the run up, I had even read some speculation he might join them for the tour.

Articles like this:

https://metaladdicts.com/report-axl-rose-to-join-ac-dc-on-upcoming-north-american-tour/

I hope the Tampere rumour is true. Or even better Helsinki!

A site picked up on an old Axl Acdc story from years ago and thought it was current. Other sites then reposted the story.

If you look on Google, some stories appear to be recent, but they end up being years old when you click on them

Yes but I'm talking about articles like these:
https://www.msn.com/en-us/music/news/acdc-are-bringing-their-power-up-tour-to-north-america-in-2025/ar-AA1v8mqa
https://www.cbc.ca/news/entertainment/acdc-north-american-tour-1.7399516

Which are current, but mention Axl touring with them in 2016.





/jarmo

Oh yeah, I see what you mean
