Axl was already scheduled to appear on Kimmel.
I think that sort of appearance is probably still in their plans, they just figured it was the wrong time and would save that for later, when it matters more.
Maybe he could go back on once they do the Vegas shows and he can talk about how much fun they were. How it was good to be back.
Once he has the present to talk about, he doesn't have to swell as much on the past.
That's probably a more comfortable setting.
Although, I don't think Kimmel would have pushed him much on things he might not want to talk about.

So you don't think they can use the same media strategy they've been using up until now?
I mean, announce the full US tour and then run promo videos similar to the Vegas and Mexico ones, showing Axl, Slash and Duff.
That's the maybe.
I think they might be able to do it...I'm not sure, in a wider market, it would be wise to do it. You're not selling destination shows, at that point. You're selling to smaller, individual markets. I think it serves you better to get the ticket buyer more information, so they're not blindsided by "No Izzy and Adler", or are left to make a decision (for whatever amount of time it is til the first shows) while guessing. But that's just MHO.
We'll see.
Yeah, it's difficult, almost impossible to know the right answer.
My take on it earlier was, just in the case they
do
intend to continue in the same promo manner (Axl/Slash/Duff),
then
, they have the time from now, up until April 8 to do that.
I was just theorizing on a possible timeframe of the full tour announcement, given they want to use this same media strategy.
If they are planning on a whole other strategy for the full tour, then my theory is out the window obviously.

He has an agenda (a financial one!), and it's pretty obvious he's a little ticked his buddies have cut him out of the conversation.
So he dreams something up that will, in one fell swoop, drive traffic and "egg on" his friends to comment to him.
Did you listen to the audio interview? He talked to Todd Kerns about what transpired at the end of the tour.

Its in every comment he makes....so...yeah....still stands. It all about getting eyeballs on himself.
Notice its eddies podcast, interviewing another person, and yet eddie comments on the GnR reunion. Not todd...eddie. And its all speculation.
He doesnt need to trumpet those specific comments...he knows they will make the rounds (ahem...witness your post). Hes at least a bit more shrewd than the blatant clickbait sites.....who will likely pick up his comments and do the work for him.
Trunk isn't dumb.

I agree with you Pilferk. But Trunk is not as smart as he thinks he is. Axl will NEVER do another interview with him because of his lack of integrity and obsession with himself.

Because Eddie will bring up GNR with anybody even REMOTELY connected to anyone in the GNR world.

Or maybe it's because Todd Kerns posted a blog called "The Worst Kept Secret In Rock N Roll" where he said he and The Conspirators have known about the GN'R reunion plans "for a long time."

A lot of people don't seem to care for this guy... not sure why...well I know why Little Emo doesn't... he was rude to her on the casino floor....haha....
He's a rock journalist/personality/tv radio host...It's his JOB to SPECULATE and DISCUSS the biggest story in rock. It's how he feeds his family.
What is he supposed to say or talk about?
You guys would rather he keep the code of silence like the GNR camp does?
He doesn't bother me. I don't really care of GNR isn't one of his favorite bands or not.

What bothers me is his passive aggressive half assed speculations. I would have never brought up my interaction with him if it weren't for his behavior about trying to get the Holy Grail of interviews in the Rock World. He is so not worthy. Better to have an interview with Wayne and Garth on SNL than with him.

What gets me is that rock journalists don't seem to be very good at their jobs. Don't these guys have moles on the inside that gets them access to information so they can do more than provide the same speculation that us clueless fans provide? Isn't that how it works in all other areas, politics, sports, etc.

Usually it works.

There were some mysterious tweets on the GNR facebook page last autumn.

Yes, which is appropriate when you're interviewing someone.
But Eddie turns it around into "me me me". Which is his usual modus operandi.
I get you might like him. Hell, I like him, too. But he is what he is.

I'm not saying he shouldn't. I'm not saying you shouldn't expect him to. And I DO like him. But..he is what he is.
I'm saying you have to view everything he says through the EXACT lens that you're setting up, above.
He's in business for himself. He's a shameless self promoter. And he knows, right now, GnR sells AND, because of his association to the band and Axl (mostly because of that one interview), he knows he can use that to his benefit. And sometimes....I'd even say often..he's talking to generate revenue. And when there isn't anything concrete to talk about, he'll speculate based on...well...nothing, really, to fill the silence.
So, what I'm saying is: Just because Trunk is saying it...it doesn't make it true...so I wouldn't get overly worked up over his comments.

This is only going to get worse in the near future (GNR and non GNR related). He still has his podcast, but my understanding is That Metal Show is no longer being carried by VH1/MTV. His self promotion and '24 hour news cycle' like approach to getting the story first but not necessarily correct will be key to landing another national job in 'traditional media'.

Too much work, now a days. Why not just rampantly speculate? It drives more clicks, and thus more ad revenue. And it's a hell of a lot easier!
And, keep in mind, this isn't exclusive to Trunk, either. It's reflective of the news media, as a whole.
Trunk isn't, by far, the worst offender, either.
But I think it's hilarious (and a little sad) that folks go all ga ga over his speculation, like it actually means anything other than "Hey, I was thinking: MAYBE, just MAYBE", without anything more concrete.
Trunk is taking a very far leap, absent any other evidence, on what the silence means. Nothing more complicated than that...a flying leap.
