Not unbelievable that Axl still lives in a 90s bubble. Nobody to challenge him, nobody to teach him new things. Everybody just tip toeing while he continues to do the same things he did 30 years ago.

Nobody dares saying anything. I've heard first hand that nobody in the band even dares to tell him they don't want to do the marathon shows. It's Axl who calls the shots on everything and with TB enabling him for years now, nothing will change

I can see that being true, because Duff has implied it in public interviews a few times, saying how physically challenging and tiring has been for him to play the 3-hour shows. He's even made a point that the long shows can be damaging for Axl's voice. Of course he said all that in his familiar diplomatic way and choosing his words carefully so that what he said couldn't be taken as a direct dig at someone.

I can understand Dizzy or Fortus not daring tell Axl about it, but I don't understand why Duff or Slash wouldn't  (although Slash probably doesn't mind the long shows anyway). What would Axl do, fire them?

You know how Axl is. Duff and Slash are trying everything to keep the peace and not anger the man.

What I don’t get is why they don’t hire a social media person to hype/market this new stuff (songs) to casuals.

This is how you reach people today .  It’s almost like they are stuck in the 20th century.

They do have both a publicist (they're working with a PR company called the Orel Company) and a separate social media team.

But if the emails found in the court documents for the Kat Benzova case are an indication or a glimpse of how this works, they have to run everything with Fernando first, so they can't do anything without his permission.

It’s just sad that these people who have ZERO experience in managing a big name rock band are running this into the ground.

And they blackmailed their way into this spot too.
