General "Not In This Lifetime... Tour" thread *1st POST UPDATE NOV 30*

[Jbat81]

Sure wish Guns would do some sorta interview.   Someone, someplace talk about something GNR.   So much to talk about and they havnt given us anything

Hopefully when they get back on the West Coast between the LA and SD dates then can reschedule the Kimmel appearance. Maybe a quick interview and a 1 or 2 song acoustic set.

I'm surprised they haven't used their social media presence to even do something quick like the AC/DC Euro Tour kickoff video just to see the three of them sitting next to each other talking.

Yea I don't understand why not put out a short video of them. Do an interview...something. The excuse that they dont need to because is selling well n bla bla bla ain't good enough. Do it for the loyal fans like us that have been there thru all the postponed CD release dates, cancellation, heartbreak etc... But they "don't owe us anything"... The reason I think they haven't done any interviews together is to maybe not piss each other off bringing old shit back...  Kinda like my ex girlfriend used to do. "Remember on June 23 2008 you came home late. You were prob w that bitch!!"  So Maybe is better if they dont interview together hahaha

I haven't been "at the office" all summer. Speaking for myself I do a lot of my posting when at work.

I'm sure its the same for a lot of people.

Business will pick up in the fall and if and when they do some interviews people will start dissecting every word they say.

I actually appreciate that theres not the tsunami of posts like in other boards. Here you can actually follow a conversation and there's less members ignoring everyone outside their little group.

So yeah, to me it's all good even in work days.

Yeah, I don't know how one even has a conversation at MYGNR.

They have a great picture thread doe.

I also think the level of discussion here is much better. I often see that some people just go there to say whatever they want, offend each other and act like a fanboy/fangirl. And I have no patience for that. The upside of that fanboy/fangirl thing is that they find/post some stuff there that people often don't talk about here.

There's also the fact that we already know the show is great, we know the setlist, there's anything to speculate. Everything is fine, they seem to be getting along, so there's not that much to say without repeating ourselves.

But I agree, I'd love to see an interview.

[allwaystired]

Here we've got a pretty good mix of attitudes - we call the band out on mistakes and also praise them. People here seem to know their stuff. I like coming on here a lot- it's always good to discuss GNR with people that actually care.

What's with no announcement yet of openers for the last few shows?  Inside two weeks away

[14 Yrs Of Silence]

I don't post too much, but enjoy reading and keeping up, posting once in a while.  I stopped checking mygnr regularly awhile ago.  Since the reunion became official, things have been very copacetic here. No more of the endless arguments,  just all enjoying this beautiful hybrid lineup killing it, Axl doing everything right, and public sentiment becoming more and more positive each day.  

These next 10 years can be some of their best, touring the world, and god willing releasing new music.

I'm wondering about this as well, maybe there will be no opener.

[Bazfreak]

I just go to MYGNR threads to seek periscope links! 

Its so messy and massive that it annoys me...HTGTH board kicks major ass!!

Curitiba is currently sold out on Blueticket

I think this is a really good board! I have posted in MYGNRforum, but  it's not the same. Some of it deals with the fact that it gets tiring hearing the same complaints. Most of it, though, deals with the fact that I've been visiting this website since the beginning. For me, nothing really comes close to this website.

Jarmo, it would be cool to meet if you are going to the MSG show  for Axl/DC.

Well at least with my one question

I got at least 10 posts

Way better than normal

So why do they not play don't cry every night?

Why do they not play more songs from the album lies......



Why is there zero interviews.


So did Matt play drums for 2 shows?   Then sign a some sorta non talk clause

What is izzys thoughts ?

Tommy was at a couple of shows.     Why can't he even speak.     Lock Down.....

What does Robin think of slash totally changing the intro to his! Song?

[sky dog]

I'll get right back to you with answers to all your questions! 

[Voodoochild]

Matt Sorum, Izzy, Tommy and Robin are not band members anymore. Maybe they just dont want to speak about something they are not related to anymore. Or maybe nobody really asked.

What's the point anyways? This has nothing to do with the band.

Let's get back to the topic.

I don't think the Sao Paulo gigs are sold out yet, and the November 12th seems to still have tickets in all the sectors. Should be a good opportunity to get tickets if you didnt already. And there's a good probability we'll get a slightly different setlist, maybe some surprise like CITR the other day.

The point is to talk or hear about anything guns n Ross's past and present.

You are right

Let's get back on topic

Silence................

So why do they not play don't cry every night?

Why do they not play more songs from the album lies......

Isn't Patience from Lies?  As I'm sure you know, they alternate between Patience and Don't Cry.
I'm guessing the reason more songs from Lies haven't been played yet is because they seem to be trying to do an equal percentage of songs from all the albums.  I believe it's just a numbers thing.

Why is there zero interviews.

Even though there have not been any "formal" "collective" interviews, Slash has talked (or should I say given non-answers) to different media outlets.  I believe Duff, Frank and Richard have also individually "answered" questions.
I'm guessing that the reason for no formal interviews by the three or the band as a whole is because they feel that the fans getting to witness the "rejoining" speaks for itself and anything said in an interview would be sliced n' diced n' probed to such an ad-nauseam extent that it would distract from the actual performances. (sort of like all the talk surrounding them playing "Sorry")

So did Matt play drums for 2 shows?   Then sign a some sorta non talk clause

I'm guessing this is a typo and you're referring to Steven.  Steven didn't talk prior to his appearances and everyone figured/hoped it was because he would be invited to perform to some extent, which he was.  We can only guess that the reason for his continued 'radio silence' is because he will return again at some point.

What is izzys thoughts ?

With the "Izzy is family" statement released by the band, one can only guess that Izzy's current non-participation is by his own choice.

Tommy was at a couple of shows.     Why can't he even speak.     Lock Down.....

Tommy has spoken several times in interviews about his time in GNR and what he thinks about the rejoining.  No gag here.

What does Robin think of slash totally changing the intro to his! Song?

Maybe Robin's intro was just something strictly by/for Robin himself and just happened to wind up on the album??  Similar to the intro that Slash plays prior to his version of the Godfather theme.  Maybe it's not really a part of the song so it's no biggie to Robin how/what's played prior to the actual song (which I believe Slash does play 'true' to Robin).

At this stage do we even need interviews? I don't. I like the no nonsense approach- get out there, play the shows. Makes a nice change to the media circus other bands get involved in.

Nope. I know some people don't like to hear it, but this tour is selling itself. Once tens of thousands of people stop flocking to stadiums to see them or they have some sort of product to push, there's really no essential need for interviews. And even then it's not a given. Van Halen never gave interviews after they reunited with Dave and that was by design. They probably didn't want to drudge up any bad feelings from the past, I know we're all dying to hear from them as much as we can. But I'm fine with letting them do their talking on stage.
