Voodoochild Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 (edited) Because america for some reason fell in love with talentless people who sit behind a board and make a sythetic beat and auto tune the shit out of themselves while they try to rhymeThey also realize this isn't really GNR. What I mean is that as a band, they've not been together that long, they've released ZERO music as a cohesive unit (CD is 100% Axl, it's written in every lyric in there) and they don't tour enough. Nine out of 10 people couldn't tell you one other person in this iteration of GNR besides Axl - and that's ALL Axl's fault. Why at 50 years old does he continue to portray the woe is me everyone's out to get me thing? It's old and stale, and music fans have moved past his childish antics. That's why those embarassing attendance figures are what they are.In places like South America, they crave American things, particularly music, so Axl trotting out with 6 no-names is still 'GNR' to them because the ticket stub says so.Or you could just shut the fuck up because you dont know what the fuck are you talking about and you are trolling threads already with only 11 posts.

EhEh Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 (edited) The interview on That Metal Show was a start but like has been mentioned. if Axl or the band as a whole had done a television interview before the tour and released a song/music video I reckoned those figures would have almost doubled.

Apollo Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 It is a little misleading as it is just overall gross......some of the bands had a 100 concerts on the year, while others had much less. GnR only had 35 or so shows. If they would have had 100 or 150 shows, they would have been top twenty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless I read the results wrong.Ya, looked at the list again and I understand that it's based on gross revenue for the entire tour. I personally would have made the list based factors stated above even though that would be a little difficult to calculate. I guess they went with top grossing tours because that was the easiest and most telling way to represent the data?what makes a tour successful is the gross revenue, duh! most touring artists play all the shows they have advertised and cancellations aren't a typical feature of a tour - unless your GnRThat is so not true, shows get canceled all the time due to scheduling problems for any touring artist not just GnR. Sometimes you don't even realise it because they get cancled well in advance but that doesn't mean that it doesn't happen. Plus GnR has been very good this tour it seems, 33/35 isn't bad in my books.I love how we nit-pick at everything GnR does wrong just because of the band's colorful history.

CoolRanchDressing Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Would you cupcake give it a rest already? Stop trying to spin this in a negative light. GUNS N' ROSES WAS THE 73RD BIGGEST TOUR OF THE YEAR. Do you know how many fucking bands there are in the world? MILLIONS, probably. And this GNR tour wasn't even a particularly long tour. PLUS it seemed to be aimed at smaller cities anyway (East Rutherford, Youngstown), which I believe means this was intended to be a smaller, more intimate tour for fans in smaller towns -- a warm up, if you will, for what's certain to be the barnstorming tour of a lifetime when the next volumes of Chinese Democracy are released.
