Aren't you always telling us to be positive?

Here we are, trying to look for the positive, and you are just shitting on it.

Regardless of whatever your sig might say, you have to see how this looks.

Fine.

Disregard the fact that promoters usually know shit, this must be sign!




Also, I don't know "what you think to be true" since nobody made an announcement either way. My stance is: I don't know. But I'm not putting a lot of weight into a concert poster. It doesn't change the "I don't know" at all.

Once again, for those looking for things: I do not know.

Thanks Debbie Downer.

That makes sense if that is only what the promoters are selling him as. I thought he himself was selling himself as a member of GNR. Dang. I hope the guy is still around. That would suck for GNR to have to find another guitarist that would work as a replacement for Ron. Ron oh Ron, are you still in GNR? Let a brotha know!

I see what you're saying. I don't think anybody is stopping these artists who get labeled this way from telling promoters to stop it.
But do they? Who knows.

I mean, it's business. If someone (for example Gilby) starts demanding promoters to bill him without mentioning former bands, chances are promoters would get pissed and stop booking the shows....

I understand what you're saying, Jarmo.  But, there is room there for clarification.  You can say "former Guns N' Roses" instead of "Guns N' Roses".

I would personally not want someone to be billed, even by a promoter, in such a way that implies they are a current member of the band if they are not a current member of the band.  It's just not true.  So, while it's up to GN'R if they catch wind of this and depending on the circumstances, but I personally would not blame them for saying, 'Hey, you are a former member of the band, so you can bill yourself or be billed that way.  But, you aren't a current member of the band, so you can't be billed that way".  They would be justified in doing that, should they choose to do so.

Agreed with Jarmo, Gilby Clarke is sometimes still billed as Guns N' Roses guitarist...

Guess all of the rumors of him quitting are solved. He's being advertised as guns n roses !!

That's not really evidence of anything other than maybe the fact that GN'R is what he's most known for.
Some promoters still bill former members who left the band decades ago the same way...

So, I wouldn't take that as a sign or evidence of anything really...

Disregard my last post, I just saw this one. 

My post is my opinion. I posted it because I've seen Gilby Clarke advertised as being from GN'R....
I don't have a lot of faith in promoters being 100% accurate and honest about billing shows. Sorry!
