Had to laugh at googles GNR news.  The top three stories are about Axl being a bad boy.  I don't think that image is ever going to go away.  They want that from him.

Anyway, I've been checking GNR news thinking ticket sales might start showing up.  I don't have a real good feel for how far out they announce ticket sales before a band starts touring.  I'm thinking it's too late for any kind of tour in the first quarter of next year.

I think when there's any announcement from GN'R, it'll be posted on social media and fan sites. You won't miss it...


When tour dates get announced depends on many things. If it's a festival show for example, then it's up to the festival. If you remember the London show last year, it was announced on its own without any other dates, which probably made some assume there would only be one show in Europe.


The 2016 summer tour was announced in April.

The 2023 summer tour was announced in February.

New Duff article:

Regarding a new record:

“While the band have remained a going concern on the live circuit, no studio album has emerged. Will we get one? "Who’s to say? We haven't been in the studio," McKagan says with a wry smile.”

I took that "wry smile" as you're kind of lying there Duff.  Maybe not in the studio but have they've been doing stuff a different way?  Were they all in the studio together for the new music they already put out?  I don't think they were.

Only GnR fans could take a comment like ‘we haven’t been in the studio’ as a possible positive sign for new music

   I know!  I just can't stop believing in this band.

Would've been interesting to hear audio from the interview.

"Who's to say? We haven't been in the studio."

"Who's to say we haven't been in the studio?"

Once again the fans left in a quagmire by the possibility of a punctuation error

We're a disparate group.

Not really the way a band should operate though, huh? 🤔

[jarmo]

That all depends.

I mean, it's not like they're this unknown struggling band no one knows about. So they must be doing something right...

I've never been around the operations of a band.  No idea how they pull that off.

What do you think? Is this guy full of it?

When is he going to get to the point.    I hate him right now!

Yes, he can drag it out.     Two albums at the same time is nothing new.  Additional new songs that are Duff and Slash songs and not NewGNR, well time has moved on and they are back, to be expected.  Didn't address the problem that has been there for years, is the record label going to let them put it out?  You know we've heard this all before, it's just updated.  The band is on target and something happens, ie the label, and it stalls out.

Does Axl have to sing any cover note for note?  Don't forget Axl's comment about listening to a lot of Wings.

Yes, I believe the guy.  Wish he'd get to the point faster.  It's all really familiar with how things have gone before but it never got out the door.

Yeah, Duff was kind of lying.
