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.

Yeah, when they announced the show, I had never heard of it, to be honest. I thought as it was associated with the Superbowl, it was this big thing, but to be fair, there has not been much mention of it I and you could easily just continue to know it doesn't exist.

I think it is fair to assume that this was just a one off concert, and the band made no effort to lump it in with the rest of the tour later in the year.

If Slash said there is material, but they are thinking about how to release it, then we are two/three months away from new material at a minimum. I am leaning more towards the Euro dates at the moment as a positive moment in time just because the band have put more effort in distinguishing those dates from other dates.

I still see progess though. Last year it was we will be recording, now there is material, so the machine is moving forward. We are coming into a key period now leading up to the SA dates.

Obviously NA dates are due probably soon as well.

They are playing Wrigley Field, July 27th 2020

Slash is right though, it is different now. People use social media to promote music, not really a GN'R thing.

As you said, CD was affected by the record company, and the Best Buy deal was all about making the money back they put into the recording costs.

UYI had Terminator 2

How does GN'R release a new record and stand out, especially in a year when a lot of bands are releasing albums. The forum fans will just want the band to release an album, but it does have to capture the attention of casual fans.

Speaking of Guns, have you got anything more you can share about the new album?
“There’s been no definitive answer on anything and I’ll just keep keep to that. Stuff is happening, but there are no specifics. More than anything, it’s because of the nature of the industry right now. It’s just like, how do you want to do this? I mean there’s material and there’s recording and there’s shit going on, but we’re not really sure what we’re doing with it right now.”

The music industry in 2020 is a lot different to the last time you all made a Guns record.
“Yeah! And there’s a handful people who said, ’Yeah, make a record and go old school’. And there’s a handful of people that are like, ’We don’t even know what buying a record is any more!’” I mean there’s material and there’s recording and there’s shit going on, but we’re not really sure what we’re doing with it right now.”
