[UPDATES] April 19, 2016 ? Foro Sol, Mexico City

The Best -->



 

Wonder how many people would just assume that pic of Richard is Izzy?

And how about that pic of Chris?  He could be one of Lord Humungous's crew.

[Thorned Rose]

Yeah casual of new fans might look at Izzy and then think he is Richard for sure.

They do have a look a like quality.

[dmathski]

I just saw that Mexico City is at 7,400 feet. That has to be pretty hard on vocals for Axl.

[allwaystired]

most probably just stupid journalist, having no idea who's in the band (well, okay, we don't know much more) and who's on the picture.
but as I said before, BBF is not back, at least according to his current plans and whereabouts. + he's not that crazy to waste his time and talent in GNR again

The UK paper that is in is notoriously awful- constant errors, false information and rabble rousing. They'll have put 'guns n roses' into their picture archive and used the first thing that came up.

Yeah, he says that very thing in the Oklahoma concert from April 1992. 

The previous show was there 4 days earlier, and he said he wasn't used to having this much oxygen.

[GypsySoul]

Its not promoting the show, the Band and management do that.  It's lazy journalism...

Thank you for the clarification.  I should NOT have used the word "promote" and in no way did I mean to imply that the band or management had anything to do with this particular article and pic.

I am owning a pressite and to be honest , I think this is part the fault of Management.
Let me explain.

I often get pressreleases ( or not )  without press pics. If an band/Management wants to be certain that the press won't make a mistake or use an outdated pic.... well management should provide it . This way the journalist is less able to make an mistake.

On the other hand if i get an press release without press image i have three choices :
1:  don't publish (  that would be real lazy )
2: Ask the source for an current image
3: Do some homework and go looking for an updated picture!

If GNR Management provide better resources for the media this kinda mistakes would be less.....

You are 100% wrong in placing any blame on GNR Management in this case.

First off, I looked up what "pressite" is:  "Introducing Pressites.  A landing page for your press release, from The Press Writers."

In the article itself, the dailymail.co.uk clearly states THEIR SOURCE IS THE VIDEO FROM THE BAND'S WEBSITE.

NOWHERE DID the dailymail.co.uk QUOTE OR REFERENCE THE PRESS RELEASE ISSUED ON www.gunsnroses.com.

Guns N' Roses reunion heads to Mexico
By AFP

PUBLISHED: 15:56 EST, 3 February 2016 | UPDATED: 15:56 EST, 3 February 2016

The long-in-the-making reunion of Guns N' Roses has gone international, with the hard rockers announcing a show in Mexico City.

The band, performing for the first time in 23 years with the original lineup of Axl Rose and Slash, posted a video on its website giving an April 19 date for a concert at the Foro Sol stadium.

And I am positive that the press release and video provided by the GNR camp did NOT contain that particular pic used by the dailymail.

[EmilyGNR]

Great post and seconded Gypsy! No way is mgmt to blame for some lame journalism article that could have been researched better with very little effort.

[Thorned Rose]

As far as Gn'R management goes... they sucked big time in the past.

I'm talking from 2002-2005 or so. That was just the most frustrating stuff ever.

They've never been really good up until the last few years.

Lately they've been fantastic. Awesome!

[D-GenerationX]

Yeah, they've done a great job with this whole most recent tour.

All aces, from what I see.  Everything has been top notch.

Aye I agree ... but when no news is provided or given out ..... then this shit happens ...
Like I said don't say it's all Management fault .....
But I know that things can be rolled out better

Still you got an valid point that this site does not function the way the must....

And Thank god like someone pointed out it has been much worse with management ....

That is because, we are dealing with entirely different management than what was in place in those yrs.

True, but the past few months have been miles better than anything the past few years.  And that was the same people.

Not sure what exactly it was that flicked the light switch on, but don't care either.  Things are great now and that's all that matters.

True I would agree that there have been some very frustrating times. But I think a big difference here now with management is they allowed Axl to ge to where we are now, on his own without being "forced or shoved into it". At least that's my perception. I don't think Beta, Fernando or anyone was busting his balls on how to move forward with Guns, and that his relation with Slash was more organic. And I'm sure Duff facilitated a lot. But I think that Team Brazil didn't like others try to undermine Axl or try to force something .But now that it's a go. They are proving to be capable of now doing what we always wanted them to.

Yeah but he played in La Paz, Bolivia (16,730 feet) some years ago when Duff was filing in for Tommy so this is easier for him

The press uses whatever photos they want. It?s up to them to use the photos they have bought or have the right to use.

That's why you sometimes see articles use decade old photos, or photos of members who aren't in the band anymore.

Not much the band can do about that....

Yeah, but if a press release is sent with attached promo photos, its easier for the journalist to use it. Of course, big outlets tend to use whatever their archive have. But even on PR Newswire and Businesswire you can at least attach links to hi-res photos for the press.

[JAEBALL]

Just out of curiosity anybody have a feel about how many tickets were sold for this yet ?

[Spirit]

We probably won't know with more certainty until the general sale starts on Wednesday.
