Powderfinger Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 44 minutes ago, adamsapple said: covid ticket prices novelty of reunion worn off by now more or less the same songs in the same order for five years no new music (average Joe probably won't get too excited about Absmurf) Axl being very hit and miss for the first ten shows not enough promotion by the band horrible soundmix on NITL selects on YouTube = not the best business card for the band lame opening acts (Wolfgang is great, but he is currently not performing with his band due to covid) They will never sell out 70.000 on their own anymore as long as they operate like they do now. Maybe if they'd co-headline with a band like Foo Fighters, Pearl Jam, Metallica or AC/DC, but not on their own. GNR would need one of those bands to really pack a stadium, but those bands don't need GNR to pack one. Agree on all your points... 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had way more fun than expected in Detroit last week. As I've already mentioned privately, I am also considering Chicago myself now, even after the Hershey gig. I said I was done giving the band money until they gave us new music...and they gave us new music immediately For me it'll come down to whether or not ticket prices come down for that gig. I'll already be in Chicago for Riot Fest, so if I can score some cheap seats when I don't have to travel just for GN'R, then why not? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNRfanMILO Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Iron Maiden released their 2nd single today, exactly 1 month and 4 days after the 1st one. That would put the potential Hard Skool release somewhere between the Indianapolis, Atlantic City or Chicago dates. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNRfanJen Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Any updates on soundcheck yet or is it still early? I’d imagine if they do debut Hard Skool tonight, we’ll hear it (with Axl vocals) at soundcheck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelestar Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I got stuck working on a business deal that has to close tomorrow, so I'm a incredibly frustrated and involuntary no-show tonight. Sending love to my GN'R LA family and hope everyone has a f'n' awesome and amazing time tonight. Fingers crossed for HS and other special surprises tonight. Feel a little sad that because the band is so poorly managed, it will all feel a little bit anti-climatic at this point with the diminishing interest of fans. There have been countless times over the past 5 years to make these opportunities so much bigger and meaningful to broader base of fans who were simply there for the taking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joraz Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Theres a guy on this forum i forget his name but i think its Archie, hes going to the LA show and said he just heard the last 30 secs of HS soundchecked without Axl and ISE was just checked aswell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

novemberparadise23 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Los Angeles makes sense for spot where new material might get played… Also Thursday night into Friday makes sense. I just have a feeling it is too close timeframe wise to absurd getting released. Hope I am wrong though! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but Iron Maiden are professional, know what they're doing and don't seem to regard their fans as enemies....so probably not a good comparison! 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
