When is the next GNR window ?

[D-GenerationX]

Doesn't anyone remember the last Vegas show (6.7.14) Axl said at the end "maybe we'll see some of you later this year" meaning that the band might do a short tour. Anyone else hear that?

Yes.

So...hold him to that?

Whatever works for you champ.

Hey, I'm just asking a question.  You are the one puffing out your chest about what he said and how we should all take heed.

But let me guess.  You don't want to go on record.  You want to lecture a bit, but not to the point you will put something on record that can be used against you in the future.

Am I warm?

[jarmo]

I answered a question where somebody asked if I heard Axl say that. I did.

I assume you didn't since you weren't present.
It's very basic common sense.


Also, I don't believe he promised you anything. So, take it for what it's worth. But to completely disregard it because of what he said in 2001 is a bit of a stretch.


So, how are you enjoying that new release?

I answered a question where somebody asked if I heard Axl say that. I did.

Ah, so you were just confirming that you also heard it.  I see.

I don't believe he promised anyone anything either, of course.  I said as much a few posts back that you can't hold an artist to something they blurt out onstage like its gospel.

But...you tend to only see the posts of mine you don't like.  The one about not holding him to it, you miss.  The comparison to RIR III, that, you catch.

It's "funny" how "that" seems to "work".

[D-GenerationX]

Waiting on the version with the audio version. 

I'll holla at cha when I get it. 

[jarmo]

But, it's a release by your favorite band.... The band that needs to release something to be more of a real band.... I don't get it.



There's a difference in saying "don't start pointing fingers if it doesn't happen since he didn't promise anything" and saying "it doesn't mean anything because he made similar comments in 2001".

Not really a concert video guy.  Not going to sit and watch a video of anyone, even my favorite band.

Very interested in an audio version for my iPod, which would get played often.  I listen to my bootlegs regularly, and this would be a concert with great sound.

I'm told that might come later.  That's the one I'm all over.

Then why not just "listen" to the concert video.  I listen to it pretty much daily.  I'm not always watching it.

Is the eventual Audio release going to be any different.....quality wise? (<===real question, not a smart ass remark)

To be fair I'm the same way. I want audio only. A bluray/dvd isn't something I'm going to listen to because I use my iPod more than anything. I could rip the audio track out of the dvd and convert it to MP3 but that would be a huge pain in the ass. And in the car I use a cd player so... I'm probably in a minority though.

(I also rip my MP3s at a higher quality than most places like iTunes offer and I like having a physical original with booklet)

but in the meantime......

Concert video doesn't do me much good on the putting green.  Or on the beach.  Or in my car.

iTunes quality actually sucks.  Are they still using 256?  I was dumbfounded when I actually bought a single that came through like that. 

[Ja5oN]

I listen to the concert video on the golf course, in my car.....on a plane (no internet) etc....

We live in an age of technology here.  Video doesn't mean sitting in front of a 55 inch tv and watching from the couch.  Put it on your ipod.

Its HELL of a lot BETTER than the Youtube concerts weve been watching/listening to all these years.

My only complaint is that it didn't come out in Canada.

And I would add that I think the second residency (although less fancy), was even better....

[guzzy]

To me the magical number is about 4-5 new songs. Considering that 3 of them could be OH MY GOD, SILKWORMS and GOING DOWN. We already know this bunch. Add some strong couple like THE GENERAL and ATLAS SHRUGGED and you got it!

Definately band needs to show that we are into a new cycle and that Chinese promotion is a closed episode.

Showing  some new guns would be enough to re-launch the desire of watching them live.

Looks like DJ is busy with SIXX AM from April8th-April29th.

So are we waiting till MAY 2015 for GNR at best?

[johnreed3344]

Yeah I would say so, kind of bummed about it....but lets hope for a summer of GNR 15

Well, let's be fair.

If DJ is going to spend now until then doing Sixx A.M. stuff, I don't know how realistic it is to think he's ready to jump back in with GNR a week after.

Of course, considering how often we are told how many finished songs Axl has, perhaps he is not really needed all that much for a new album.  So if its just a case of a new album of Bucket/Robin songs, DJ could just pick up where he left off as a member of the touring band.  But I imagine he'd want some downtime, which is hardly unreasonable.

[sandman]

it's only about 3 weeks DJ would be unavailable. not a huge committment. they could tour and/or work on an album with very little interruption from DJ's Sixx AM committments.

and if gnr is touring and DJ has to miss some shows, maybe they could have someone fill in for a few shows the way Duff did last year. hmmmmm. 

[D-GenerationX]

The best case scenario is that Axl was actually serious in that interview, and they spend the end of this year and the beginning of next putting an new album together for release later on in 2015.

[JAEBALL]

i really don't see a GNR tour for 2015...it just seems like too many guys are doing different things/too many rumors of guys not coming back....whether its Ron and his constant i quit tease, The replacements Sixx AM or Frank and Richard in what they do

but i could be very wrong
