If they’re starting to tour in March, wouldn’t they want the album out by then? Metallica waited for Hardwired and gives a free copy with every ticket sale. Isn’t the formula: album>tour?
I just don’t understand why they’d break their own financial interests by touring before the album is out. If they’re free to tour, that means it’s done. Is there going to be some secret release?
If this is true, wouldn’t an album release be likely to happen by Christmas, to give time for production before the tour?
Money is made by touring. Dates being announced now is a cynical Xmas ticket grab. I like it, shows good business acumen.

Because this is going to significantly increase the amount of people interested? If Guns in playing two shows in Germany, every Guns fan in Germany is going to go and fill both stadiums. Them selling tickets is a given. Getting people to buy their album, and not just listen to it on spotify, pandora, youtube, whatever, is the challenge. That's where the acumen comes in.

Where are all these positive vibes coming from?!

I’d say The Seeker and Wichita are the singles.

There is no way they're promoting the first new album in a decade with two covers

If they don’t announce the album at/by Miami, it ain’t happening in 2020.

You'd write off the whole year that quickly?!?

Concerts take them into fall 2020. If it’s done already, they’ll release it before the tour.

I disagree quite strongly.

The public has the attention span of a goldfish.

Between that and past history, it’s an immediate attention grab with lead single dropping and the album the next week if not immediately.

The tour can be viewed as a big payday if things were to implode (doubtful, big money loves liquidity), The Band LLC getting money for marketing expenses, or just another year another tour.

Remove Seeker..,.add Black Hole Sun....I'm a happy man.
Hell.....they could even just do a Black Hole Sun outro like they did with Buick Makane.
I'm not going to have a conniption fit (YET) just because Slash didn't weigh in on the matter.

Please god no... Black Hole Sun is perfect as is...

Live Nation care about 1 thing, Ticket Sales
There is a new album, and the tour March onwards is a new tour.
It is badly advertised, I was hoping for better, but it is what it is.
The Miami concert is an outlier, I am assuming this is when the first new track is set to appear, I don't know., but it all appears to be well planned.

So.... do you have any other info here?

I think we can spread the covers out a little more...

I dont want Black Hole Sun or I Feel Good anywhere near this...

We don't need Spaghetti volume 2
