Add that to the mix..haha

[reayj2003]

This line is about 3 years old now... "Our main focus right now is obviously putting together the next Guns record and we've got tons of material. It's just a matter of sitting down and sifting through the pieces"

[sky dog]

you do have to laugh at the timing of that.....

[reayj2003]

I'm sensing a comeback of MASSIVE proportions is imminent with the release of new "remix" single Blood in the Water....Sing it "I see blood in the water" say what?? "blood in the water"! The Blood in the water world tour 2015

[Sosso]

Richard Fortus is in Cuba, Dj Ashba is in Japan and Bumblefoot is in another asian country. I don't think they will go back to the studio as soon as possible.

Nice find, thanks for posting!

So, given the timestamp on this interview, does this mean we can stop clinging to the crutch that DJ and Richard's comments are so different because DJ made his months ago?

Three days is a long time, you know? Enough to go from, ''I don't think there's gonna be any touring soon'', to, ''we were talking about doing another huge tour''!!

Go ahead! Go for it!


By the way, he didn't say when.

I don't think DJ is doing this to be malicious or intentionally misleading.  I think he's doing it subconsciously.

Think of it like a politician's stump speech.  They say that shit over and over and over again at every stop.  The words come out through sheer muscle memory.

So, when DJ is interviewed, he just falls back on his stump speech.

It doesn't make him the Antichrist.  But it does suggest we don't have to take him super seriously.

It's a breath of fresh air, reading a member of gnr actually likes playing gnr music

Also it gnr would be record he couldn't live with out

Nice interview and you can tell DJ really does get it.  

So mb all this tour talk will be sourounding  the release of an album... 

Also just glad Dj said there was just talk of a tour.  Not a plan for one.   Big difference

[jarmo]

That's a nice interview. If you can get over "he said this, and that guy said that" comparisons for a second.

When band member A says ''yes'', and band member B says ''no'', you do not think that is worth pondering over?

A says "we plan on doing it", B says "not soon".

What's the issue? Nobody said "never" or "tomorrow".

Talking about ''doing another huge tour'' presupposes that there will be ''touring''. The two statements flat out contradict each other, even when taking into consideration adverbial time spans.

It's a legit question.

Please, can you show me the quote where somebody said there'll never be a GN'R tour? Or any kind of time frame where two statements contradict each other. And I'm not talking about what Dj said last year versus what somebody said months later.

Thanks.

I think painstakingly trying to concoct a scenario where both guys are "right" and there is nothing to see here misses the point.

I think the real takeaway from the radically divergent statements is that there is no real plan right now.  And that's hardly the end of the world.

[bailyrose]

That was a good read. I'm glad DJ came into the band.

How can you not see the inherent contradiction between, ''I don't think there's gonna be any touring soon'', and, ''we were talking about doing another huge tour''. To put it another way, Fortus left these talks (assuming they happened) ''about doing another huge tour'' with the opinion that there is not ''gonna be any touring soon''.
