Rolling Stone Rips GNR For Boring & Never-Ending Tour

[dsaddler78]

Fuck Rolling Stone... lol

It was called the Use Your Illusion tour for a reason...

It was called the Chinese Democracy tour for a reason....

It was Called the Not in this lifetime tour for a reason.....

It’s being called The Next Chapter for a reason;)

It would be a colossal mega sized public relations managerial disaster for them to name this tour what they did without a plan. This management has proven to have a plan, time and time again. Let’s just wait for THAT plan to be unveiled. It’s happening, SOMETHING is brewing... the tour could have been called anything besides what they did. But they chose The Next Chapter for a reason. The last chapter was burying the hatchet and proving they could still own the world... the next chapter is new music. Or maybe they’re all becoming cyborgs to continue touring forever

Have faith people. This year is gonna be stellar!! 

I agree 100 percent. something is up in a positive way. they wouldn't risk this tour without it IMO

Sounds like they've been reading the forums.

Looks like we're not the only ones tired of getting the runaround regarding new music. You reap what you sow.

You wanna make a $100 bet that GNR releases new music this year?  I would make that bet with you....saying they do.

I am no gambler, but I think that is a great bet. I think they release music soon as well.

I remember people on this very site making the same bet in 2006.  Poor bastards, I saw them on skid row the other day.    

That said, I hope they do release new music sooner as opposed to later.  But with GNR, I wouldn't make bets on such things if my life depended on it.

Lawyer tactics - what is "new music" ?
If a new album of original music with this group of musicians - that is an interesting bet

If you consider new music something they burp up from 1988 that sounds like Axl is 20 years old but they fine tune it with today's technology and it shows up on youtube- that is quite different.

Also - CD songs that have 18 different musicians who played on it but Slash throws his own solo on top - if this starts leaking on youtube - does this count?

[damnthehaters]

NEW music.  Music that has never been released on an album.  This includes leaks that the general public have not heard. 

Anything they may have done in the last couple years, as well as previously un-released material.  Atlas Shrugged, Silk Worms, Hardschool, etc would count.  Very high percentage of people in this world have never heard these songs.

Personally played the crap out of and got sick of Silkworms a long time ago - but if that's what you call new music - your hopes for 2020 are just a little different than mine

I don't know. This is what the Rolling Stones have been doing since 2015 when they kicked off their Zip Code stadium tour. They just change the name and keep on chooglin'! In fact, today they just announced another tour.

I do see your point, though.

For the first time in my life I won't be going to see GN'R when they hit locally to wherever I am.   I'm just kind of bored with the same music and I don't feel it's worth the money.  If I see something new happen I might change my mind but at this point I'm just not interested and I don't feel bad about it.

Same here. I saw NITL three times, had a blast every time, but I just can't in good conscience pay that same wild amount of money to see the same show again give or take a song two.  Or a new screen.

Yup.  Same here.  I've seen NITL 5 times...the spirit will really need to move me to go again (read: to explain to my wife why I need to go again).  A new album?  Now we're talking.  But to maybe here Locomotive?  Not so much.

Glad I'm not the only one...

If the Not In This Lifetime tour ended last November, how is it the same tour then?

I guess their logic is that since it's the same band, it's the same "reunion tour"....

I think they are just looking for a reaction. It's lazy journalism

Wasn't lazy, it had a purpose.  Going to cost them a lot of space for that shot. 

They're going to write a story anyway, go for the exclusive and all the pics. 

Just my opinion, not in the biz but I will use your ass, count on it.

Wow, my buddy and I are both huge GNR fans and we had that exact conversation a couple of days ago whether we will see GNR when they are in Arlington, TX in August. I said I just was not excited and did not want to spend hundreds of dollars to see the same show. I mean, the last time I saw them was in Denver in 2017 and it was the best show of my life. Absolute perfection in every way.

For 2020, I also am not excited about the venue where they will play in August, a closed roof stadium. I saw them in a closed roof stadium in 2016 and the sound was horrible. It seems to me that large stadium shows are only good for enriching the band, not for a high quality audience experience. I can't forget the 3,000 (?) seat venue at the Joint in Vegas or even the 1,800 seat venue in Dallas at House of Blues where GNR played in the pre-union days (I was unfortunately out of town). I understand that now that Duff and Slash are back, the days of small venues are probably gone.

Not necessarily.
GN'R played at the Troubadour (LA), the Apollo (NYC), the Palladium (LA) and the Colosseum (Las Vegas). These aren't huge stadiums or arenas.

[russkwtx]

Yes, point taken.

I actually wanted to go to the Vegas show (s) but tickets were just too expensive.

That's the downside of playing smaller venues....

/jarmo

I think the writer's point is that, other than maybe the name of the tour, as of the first show everything was more or less the same milking of the back catalogue instead of shaking it up with the new music they assured us was in the works.

IT HASN’T STARTED!!
IT’S NOT “THE NEXT CHAPTER” YET!!
THIS WAS A ONE-OFF!!!

FUCKING SPLASH

/Mike

A LIKE Button Please!
We have such a burning need!
I would use it now!

CANNON BALL!

Thanks so much for the homage...
Oh, LOVE “CANNON BALL!”
