Only 3 times? They should be so lucky!
Half the reason I go out these days is to talk about the reunion!

Haha I wouldn't get my hopes up how well handled this thing will be, or even going forward from it - let's not mistake this for another nonexistent masterplan, esp before it's even launched.

& I know what you're saying re U2/Metallica but I think we all know that GnR have never been competing with those bands, however annoying their blueprints for success were during the lean GnR decades.
My point is that tho they can be seen as peers to GnR they shouldn't really. Guns were so much more (& better) than either of those two bands (but especially U2) that they're kinda operating on a different level. People might not realise it, but that's their loss. We know the value of it. They can have their 15 U2 special limited edition albums & tours & tv shows & adverts & whatever else the fuck U2 do, what we've got is just worth far more than any of that stuff. Different level.
I guess I'm saying is, I don't really mind when it's not sold as professionally as it should be. But also, I do think it's neat when they do get something right like that Star Wars trailer, & yea, on a scale they deserve to be on (bigger than U2!). But if it all collapses tomorrow, or today, that's kinda ok too cause of what it's built on, something that will last..

Also a tour without piano/keyboards & synths would be so sweet.
As would an album without that shit.
Never going to happen tho.

They need to bring Tommy and/or BH in some of the undercard slots, obv not sharing tho, those two.. Get them back onstage w/guns for a song or two.. They all know Appetite stuff anyway..
Will never happen tho.

Another Lies side B please
Some bluesy acoustic numbers is what's called for to wipe the slate clean.
