Chance of Sell outs?

[kollemann]

I think we must see and hear Chinese Democracy than the shows will be sold out fast.

Many GNR fans don't want to hear old songs.....

i want to hear jungle!!! i want to hear the old stuff too!!! that shit rocks...i think the setlist now just needs some minor tweeking.just drop the new hard ass single and the shows sellout right away.1 fucking song does the trick.todays music sucks ass and people have adapted to it and and enjoy it.

Agree.

My opinion of the setlist is 50% old songs and 50% new songs.The name of the tour is Chinese Democracy.new GNR = new songs.My opinion.

Very hard to get a good ticket here in Edmonton and Calgary now.

Canadian shows will probably be all gone in a week or so

I dont understand why they didnt drop a single before putting tix on sale. I really dont want Axl playing to half emtpy arenas. Why does gnr have to do everything backwards?The first show is 14 days away and its not even close to being sold out yet. You know the reviewers are going to bash Axl for not selling out and it wont matter how great the band sounds.

Well, we have 2 weeks... lets cross our fingers for SOMETHING. But youre right, this is aimed for disaster if something new doesnt drop prior to the shows.

You can still get GA for a lot of the shows, and a lot of shows have lower parts (floor or section 100s) still on sale. That is bad. GA always goes first.

Maybe Mysteron will pop on to clarify the bands intentions

Yeah, but there was at least promotion for the UK shows and they were on the bill with other artists at times playing festivals... to headline their own dates in the US, they need to do a better job than what they're doing.

dave, I've been saying this for weeks now. You can buy tickets in any section you want at any of these shows. Its ridiculous. I'm surprised there was even a pre sale because none were needed. You can get whatever ticket you want weeks(and over a month) after tickets have went on sale. Here in Cali, there is zero promotion for this tour, and with this latest info about a media outlet saying Slash is a GNR guitarist, its just gonna make even more non forum people think its the old band.

Axl and GNR management have to do something soon. If the album isnt ready, just release a single. Surely they can get one song ready.

Yeah, I'm just stating that they had better promotion and we often on the bill with other artists... not your show in particular. ?To headline their own tour in the US, they have to do something to get the name circulating again or it'll fail miserably. ?Ticket sales are poor thus far with the exception of the hot spots that we expected to sell well..... they need a single for this to work and then we need the album.

Agreed.  A single is the minimum that we need to get this started.

In EUROPE is much more easey to sell out arenas,they need more promo to suport the Tour in the USA.
A single to make another BUZZ like the demos did moths ago...

Any media to generate some public interest would be better than nothing at this point.

[Mattattack]

I can't believe people were expecting these shows to sell great in the first place. The only thing that can sell these shows is killer new music. I don't know what the fuck Axl is trying to do. I happen to like the new band, but it must suck for these guys to be in an "Appetite for Destruction" cover group. The general public wants to see Slash and Axl together playing all these classic tunes from Appetite, not Axl and some guys he calls GnR. Why can't Axl grasp that in order for this band to have a chance at being accepted, he has to release some fucking original music, right now!

[jameslofton29]

I said this last year(it wasnt a popular idea), but they may have to release an EP if Axl is hesitant to release CD at this time. The band absolutely has to have some sort of buzz, and doing a nostalgia tour with a couple new songs isnt going to cut the mustard. They already did that in 2002, and it was rejected.

Axl can release the mythical CD later on down the road, and it still get attention from fans and media alike. Just release a 5 or 6 song EP to help kick this tour up a notch. Surely at least one song(maybe two) from an EP being released as singles in the coming months could sustain the tour at least into early-mid 2007.

[EccoTides]

Solution: Release a single.

It's quite seriously that simple. When people know there's a new band, they'll be more inclined to go see them.
