GNR Plans For 08?

[mrbucketfoot]

Yeah that'd be a mighty fine venue. I'd also recommend Bonnaroo. Great places to gather new fans. 

[fuckin crazy]

I hope to be there this year.

iTunes is a must. Apple is selling digital music like hotcakes and lawd knows the Apple fanboys will buy anything Apple endorses.

Call it selling out or whatever but I think a GNR iTunes commercial would be hotness.

Didn't Axl and Baz party with Steven Jobs?

Not sure, I know they hung out at Paul Allen's crib.

Yeah, that's who I meant!

(I'm not up to speed on the computer dudes.)

But yeah, the iTunes thing is a great idea, would love for everyone to have the new single on their iPod.

At the moment, just an update on the official site would be nice......(preferably one about the release of the album  )

With the rumours of a 08 Release, why don't the guys crack on with a World Tour, i know its not as simple as that but the last two years, the guys have toured and maybe a mammoth tour this year could gather momentum for a 08 release, at the end of the Year. ?

I agree, especially if the wheels are really in motion.

Honestly, I'd go see this band album or not. Before others quote my post and tell me who stupid I am, I'm well aware that many people feel differently.

"Why do they keep playing the same setlist?" "Why haven't they played any more new songs?" "Why won't Axl tell us what's going on from the stage?" Blah, blah, blah.

I've heard it all a million times and none of it changes the fact that this is my favorite band and I'd love to see them live again under any circumstances.

I'd love for the album to be on the way just as much as everyone else but even if it's not, I'd take a GNR show anyday.

agreed 100%.

I remember when everyone was bitching about all the setlists last year and stuff, why don't you add this and drop this, I admit that I was one of them, but I realized soon thereafter, that the setlist is great anyway. it's my favorite band, as russtcb said. I couldn't care what htey play. If they added a few songs (Civil War, TWAT, etc.) it WOULD be a nice change of pace, but I'll have to deal with this for now, which I'm absolutely okay with 

[WhatIsItMan]

Hay I know GNR should release a video!  Or maybe even a single!  That would rule!!!11111

[COMAMOTIVE]

Sorry, but unless an "official" confirmed release date for this album is announced, I think another tour would be a terrible idea.

Why though?

[Jaci_Roxx]

I just read that Metallica is delaying their album till sept so could we see say a May June release for CD and Metallica in sept 2008 could be the year Rock Returned.  Geffen should put this out before Metallica releases in sept or dare I say it could steal Chinese Democracy's number ? or better yet have a Guns n Roses Metallica Tour.

Release GN'R and Metallica Within a month or two of each other, just like in '91 with UYI and  The Black Album. That would really be awsome!
I can only Hope!

Yeah! And Metallica will be at RIR Lisboa, it would be even cooler if they played at the same festival too.  To promote their albums you know.

I don't like the idea of a full blown tour, unless they plan to not release CD this year. In that case a tour would certainly be better than nothing at all. But let's hope they plan to release it.

No, not necessarily.

Maybe it would be a "terrible" idea for you personally and some others. But sometimes you have to see it from another angle.



For example, the 2007 tour. It wasn't a terrible idea for all the fans in those countries who had waited years to see GN'R.

And the band played better than ever.

I only hope that Axl have in mind to come to Bogot? (Colombia) and make a wonderful concert some day before I be too old to rock.

[slashsbaconpit]

Probably just sit back, take it easy, play a couple of gigs with side projects. Bumblefoot will release another side project album. Dizzy will play a bunch of gigs with Hookers-n-Blow.
Fix the damage to Axl's house. Spend some time drinking, and surfing the Internet ...




and if they decide the time is right, RELEASE THE ALBUM AND LAUNCH A WORLD TOUR THAT WILL OWN OUR WEAK ASSES!

Here again I'd like the ask that no one make a ridiculous post about how I'm kissing Jarmo's ass with the following post:

I have to agree. First of all, on the "countries who haven't seen" them portion. What better way to introduce the newer members, songs and how strong the band is then by taking them all over the world?

Also on the subject of the band playing "better then ever". It's no secret that I was extremely skeptical of this whole "new" GNR thing back in 02. I wouldn't even watch RIO III or listen to the HoB gig because I was so bitter about it.

Then when they played the VMAs I was at least more interested. So when they came to Detroit that year, I checked it out. I was BLOWN AWAY by Robin and Richard and could've done w/o Bucket.

So again, when 06 came about I was even more excited to check them out again. I drove all the way NYC to see them and caught them when they were here later that year. I'm SO glad they did those shows. First and foremost because I was WAY more impressed with Axl then ever vocally and because Robin, Richard and now Ron were mindblowing on both the old and new material.

If they hadn't done those shows, I'd still be wondering. On top of that, I'd have missed the single best Guns N' Roses show I've ever seen hands down (Hammerstein, first night). I've seen GNR a totally of 7 times if memory serves me right and the single best show I've ever seen came about because of 06 shows.

WHAT'S THE PLAN AXL ?

[JDA]

Same thread diff. name.  I think all GN'R websites should shut down until cd comes out.

LOL. I had a few long drinks and started writing something, and then realized I could get banned for what I was about to say. So I'm just gonna say it like Axl would: IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT WHY DID YOU COME? Have you no self control at all? Just stop reading. It's your choice!
