Next American Tour?

[Eva GnRAxlRosette]

let's hope so.? they definitely have a lot of PR to do to get their image back in the public eye.. and of course the new material is really important in that journey.

Does anyone know how long before an actual tour starts that a tour is planned?


GNRONLINE.COM Starts Now!!!!

I'm actually on the lookout for www.gunsnroses.com to open.

I think we're going to get all the announcements at once.  Album release date and tour plans.  I don't see any tour plans being revealed until the release date is announced.

It should sell 2-3 million on name recognition alone. Im guessing CD will sell about 5 million in the US. I always thought that many bought greatest hits thinking there may be a new track on it.

I agree alot with what you say.. people also have to realise, people will always be there to see the shows to hear the music they loved growing up.. Whenever an older famous act plays most of the people are there to hear the songs that made them big.. So this is why an album like GH's could have such staying power and good sales.. I for one really don't care about mostr groups I grew up loving's new music... I go to see certain bands to hear the old stuff from my generation.. I am sure this will happen a lot with axl's band as well.. I have a real interest in axl's new work, but when I see his band again I will go crazy fior the classics like I did in the past..

So I am not sure how cd will sell.. Could be really big like 5 mill, or 2-3 mill

Today it seems like bands who play stadiums are bands with a following and not just necessarily a hit album.

Here in Sweden Iron Maiden played in front of about 50000 people in Gothenburg.

AC/DC has played the same stadium.

Those two bands aren't exactly known for their recent hits.

But the promoters know they have a huge following and make the shows into these big happenings where everybody wants to be. Even people who aren't fans.

But, no offence to the new line up, alot of people who liked them back in the late 80s early 90s. And fans of those albums now. Liked them with the first few members, whereas it aint the same now.

If it eve exists, it should be small venues like VR.  Playing in half-filled stadiums is embarrassing.

I think everyone from America is huge in oversees. I bet right-said-Fred could play infront of 100,000 people. Yes, I know Maiden are from the UK

No, look at most of your current American "rock" bands.?

Well Mr. Big is still huge in Japan!

I feel the same way.  GNR would be far better off with more intimate settings the next go around.  I think a stadium tour would be great with a band Like Tool or APC or even NIN.

But as great as this album will be, I don't see CD selling more than about 2 million in the US.  Face it, not as many people buy CDs like they did in the late 80s and early 90s, you know with internet capabilites.  I would like to see GNR embrace the internet through some type of legal downloading.

Ahh! This i liiiike  If GNR toured with Tool, they would be piced up by a alot of "hard getting throug people" who listen to music like Tool etc. And thats where i want GNR to be! A band who are popular from the music they make! Imagine a Axl and Maynard Duo!!!!!
