The most anticipated series of concerts since when ...

[Tomorrows]

The level of hype these concerts have generated is amazing.

Every concert sees this board filling with viewers, live updates etc. They get talked about heaps.

Have we ever seen anything like this before? Is my perception of the hype distorted because I hang around on a board full of Axl fans?

Probably...

I don't think we've seen anything yet.  Wait until CD is out.  Things will really get crazy then.

Yep, Outside of the message boards there's almost no hype

Really, that's why Associated Press, Reuters, BBC, and about every international news organization including Newsday, has run about three stories each in the past week?? Those stories are then carried by local, and metropolitan newspapers and websites worldwide.? I am telling you, people are starting to get the sense that something is happening!

Also, NYC has a burgeoning underground, hipster scene like no other in the world.? GNR, is considered extremely chic/hip in this circle right now!!? Axl, has really had a nice image overhaul, and is getting mad props outside the boards!? The climate, also has changed significantly, in music since 2002.? Rock is on a huge upswing, and GNR are considered a major force in rock music!!

Wishful thinking imo.

I read the newspapers, watch the news everyday but I haven't come across a single Guns mention.

I agree with you that there may be a lot of hype surrounding guns in NY right now or in America for that matter but I think you're overestimating the amount of hype in the rest of the world 'cause basically there isn't any

The Gun's shows in NY and the recent leaks etc made the national paper here in Australia

Since 2002 and then 2001 before that.  It's all for nothing unless the album is released.  If that day ever happens.....
