So we can still expect an album this year to coincide with Euro and US tours?
New material was said, not album. So I do not know.
Slash is also planning to return to his other projects next year (not sure when)

The planning for the new album was shifted to the Euro and US tours. The situation with the virus is a wait and watch thing, ticket sales for concerts, in general, have stalled.

I thought Rolling Stone was considered a nothing magazine these days, there was a rise and fall article printed years back about how it lost it's way
As for the gigs, maybe they were planned ages ago, remember Frank mentioned Scotland last year, and that has happened

I don't think UYI nostalgia has anywhere near the pull of AFD nostalgia - no where near as iconic. So I doubt the emboldened approach with regard to stadiums is UYI related. I remain positive that the 'new chapter' starts with Europe and we will start hearing more about new plans/music on the SA tour...
Don't get me wrong, I completely agree, and there would be less appeal, but there is always a market. It would be up to Livenation to gauge such a tour.
Back to this year, I think the new tour has been pitched around new material being released.

Yea, cause millions will come to shows to see "Dead Horse", "Breakdown", "Bad Apples", and "Shotgun Blues." GN'R has pretty much stretched their entire playable catalog already. If they want to play 3-5k person shows and do deep cuts, sign me up. But anything off the Illusion albums that a causal fan would be interested in hearing is already in the rotation. Them playing "Coma", shocked me. "The Garden" isn't going to bring fans to shows.
The albums sold 40 million copies worldwide, so there would be a market for a quick worldwide tour.

What UYI thing?
The UYI thing was mentioned historically as a theme for the next tour. It was mentioned to one of the SA promoters last year.

And that’s also a very big if, that is IF there is a new album, and IF it actually comes out.
He is expecting a new album, that is from the recent concert
Next cycle could be the UYI thing mentioned ages ago, but long way off, not sure on that

Slash is talking album cycles for GN'R and his own projects, back and forth. This year represents Slash's expectations, the one year tour.

Welp, new dates for USA announced now. The window for a new album to promote this tour is shrinking - basically before March, right?
No
The SA dates appear to be irrelevant. I think they will sell because they are rearranged based on the previous tour because they were part of that, but they are not anymore, if that makes any sense. They will use the dates as a basis going forward. I would not be surprised to see an extra couple of SA dates at the end of the tour after the Australia+ dates are announced. This is not based on any fact, just experience for those that know me.
As I posted before, there has to be new material or a very big new perspective. Tickets are selling as I expected, but LN are not daft and they are also not talking. So, the SA dates and the time around this period will dictate the tour beyond it. The US stadium dates represent a big expectation and statement in a saturated market.
#190 Re: Guns N' Roses » NA Dates going up on facebook for 2020 » 319 weeks ago
Just heard the radio ad for Boston. “The Next Chapter” and “All New Show” while Jungle, SCOM, PC played in the background...
I think, based on the dates, I would point any expectation towards the European dates.
It is the European and NA dates that have been strongly promoted as next chapter, and there is a month gap between the SA dates and the European dates. Also, if you read back on some South American websites, some of the Spring dates may be re-arranged dates from last year. (As an example, Guatamala might have been November https://www.soy502.com/articulo/suspens … atemal-153 ) I know they were pointing at March, and something may happen in March. I just think the month gap implies that there will be other activity still ongoing after the SA dates.
