True, GH isn't a fair comparison as that is obviously all the old bands music, but at least it indicated a strong interest in GNR remains, how much of the interest will translate to CD remains to be seen.

Perhaps to GNR's advantage OMG was so badly received that it's gone completely under the radar now. Of course it came out before CD became a pop culture joke, most people know of CD and it's constant delays etc, very few know a lineup of GNR not too disimilar from the current released a song in 99 that completely tanked. I think if more people had heard OMG it turn more people off new GNR material than anything, it's a good thing nobody has heard it.

There's fairly long trailors for the new Batman film so I think the actors are done, it's probably in editing and other stuff like that. It's due out in June so there's obviously still some things being worked on, just behind the scenes.

The role of The Joker was likely to put his career in the stratosphere, now the whole film will have a huge cloud over it (assuming it comes out).

Hmmm, I don't see it being GNR but you never know. As much as they annoy me My Chemical Romance would probably command a headline slot these days, although all 3 rumoured headliners are bigger bands than MCR so who knows.

What about Aerosmith, are they meant to be touring this year? They could be a possibility?

I don't really see it that way, the band was there all except Scott they could either cancel the show or go on and at least give the fans something for their money.

I think people might be jumping the gun a bit announcing VR as over because of this, it's not good certainly but we don't know the details as to how/why he missed his flight. I think the reason he wasn't there will be far more important in terms of VR's future rather than just the fact that he wasn't there (if that makes sense).

It'll be interesting to see what happens at the next show...
