"Guess we're all goin' down with the ship"

I think Mike Myers has made enough sequels for a life time, Wayne's World 3 isn't a good idea. It's been decades since his last funny film .

I also believe that GNR know exactly what they're doing with (lack of) promotion and it's working really well.  They've sold out all the shows they've announced and, depending on if Axl sounds good and performs well, they'll be able to charge even more if there is a summer tour.

I would paint the lack of promotion as part of a plan, except it's basically the same thing Axl did for all of the Chinese Democracy tours and his album, so I see it more as just he doesn't like the media too much, and it's how everything will always go.

Obviously Slash and Duff's silence is deliberate but I think their plan is simply: "It used to make Axl mad when we talked - let's not fuck this up"

Adler and Matt I would hesitate to guess are in flux and so are keeping their mouth shut as a play to end up in the band. May not work but running their mouth will guarantee they don't get the gig.

As for it working really well, these shows were destined to sell out. GNR was so important back in the day, and the Axl/Slash feud was one of the longest and most well publicised falling outs in rock history that there was no chance of them not being able to sell out some early appearances.

To me what this shows is that the brand is strong enough to flourish DESPITE the silent approach to business, rather than because of it.
