They have nothing interesting in their discography like a Achtung Baby/Zooropa/Zoo TV concept or The Wall/Dark Side of the Moon that could be mind blowing in such an environment.
They have a few albums filled with random songs....and 99.9% of their artwork consists of boring skulls/skeletons.
Who wants to pay $600-$1200 to hear Jungle while 3 skeletons dance on a giant screen?
There's really no interest (to me anyway) outside of one show or two in a regular venue. The lack of content where they could rotate albums or do anything creative hurts them big time.
Yeah it's a clusterfuck. They have such few options due to the small discog when it comes to these things....
AFD in its entirety
Considering the fact they've hit fans over the head with AFD for so long us fans coined a term for it(AFD Rehash)...would anyone really care?
UYI I and II in its entirety
Considering the fact the big anniversary just passed us by and very few cared...is it really an option? Besides...they'd never do it in its entirety anyways.
Don't Damn Me (still never performed)
Garden of Eden (not performed in decades)And of course....garbage like....
Get In the Ring
Shotgun Blues
My WorldWill never be performed.
They just can't put on special events like that.
They could copy what Metallica are currently doing for a UYI entirety tour. Two nights, different set on each one with each night getting UYI I and II in entirety respectively.
That and full AFD are the only gimmicks for a tour without a new album.
Others here are right. A new song on its own doesn't shift extra tickets, the buzz of a whole new album might.

I can't see how YCBM gets dropped. It's in that tier of almost essentials and for many seeing this nostalgia circus they'd be disappointed not getting it.

I have to think whatever Guns related tracks Slash was laying down extra guitar for, had to be related to the mixes they were listening to. Considering he said the batch of 3-5 leftovers were already in the can, could this be additional to those? Actually newly written material like he said he wanted to or extra Chinese leftovers on top of what he already spoke about?
Alternative theory: the reason these songs didn't come out in the timeframe he originally said is because Axl decided more wa needed and he's laying down even more guitar for the tracks he already spoke about.
I'm keeping my expectations low for tomorrow. All common sense would say A) the US is their most lucrative touring market because that's where they can charge the highest ticket prices B) the sales in that market are slow so therefore C) Use your headline slot at one of the world's most famous music festivals to shadow drop new music and generate buzz for your NA tour.
This is Guns N' Roses in 2023 though. Common sense doesn't apply.

Apparently there's a remix of TWAT that never leaked.
#85 Re: Guns N' Roses » 2023 Tour Dates » 152 weeks ago
Also he did the screams on TWAT justice tonight. Worth looking that one up on YouTube.

Glasto would be a cool place to surprise launch a 5 song EP of new material. Could the band actually do something that cool?
I've been burned too many times to hope but we'll see. Maybe Axl has finally gotten bored - he's been doing almost the same set for 7 years straight now. Longest run of his career.

The hype for Prostitute was insane. I remember it getting descrived as "fire and ice". It was the big gun that everyone was waiting to hear.
In the end, it was a good song. Some might say its great. But it had no chance of living up that hype.
The General will be the same. When/if we get to hear it, just go in hoping for a song that's good and you won't be disappointed.
#88 Re: The Sunset Strip » Most Recent Movie You've Seen » 153 weeks ago
There's this great interview clip of Matt Damon explaining why this happened to movies from the Hot Ones interview show.
Tl;dr streaming killed dvd sales and that killed creativity in the movie industry.
Honestly it's now at the point where if you want good drama and high quality acting - prestige tv is where you've got to look for it now, because studios will still greenlight new ideas in that space.
#89 Re: Guns N' Roses » Using AI to give Axl Rose´s voice back » 153 weeks ago
The link you posted....while it does sound good....might be the best AI Axl yet...is similar to the CCR song.
The rate at which these are improving... actually has me worried that deep fakes etc. could become a problem sooner than we think. Already imagining the shit that could get pulled in 2024 with this tech...

There is one wrinkle to the unload the vault when he passes away angle.
Who does he leaves it to? TB assumedly but could be his sis. Then does whoever gets it want to release it? How much of it? Or do they "respect" Axl's legacy and leave it vaulted....
Oddly, I could see CD 20th anniversary being the one Axl himself wants to do most with. Issue is it anyone else involved (Slash, Duff, label) will want to do anything for it.
