The merch machine will have to kick into gear at some point though. It is going to be all about the merch

Not surprising given his history with them.
So this means there isn't any musical release tied to this reunion? Or does it just mean the record company isn't involved in the tour?
If Universal had a tie in, they would be updating.
It just means that it is all about the tour just now. There is nothing else, as yet.

Plus, let's be honest, this thing could implode after a few shows...don't kid yourself.
That is true, but tying only three people into a contract makes the tour less of a risk

I am back to work on Monday so I will not be posting as often.
Remember to keep an eye on The Roxy club. The radius clause in their contract will allow them to play the venue if the band are needing a small venue to practice

Only of interest. If Stay of Execution is the name of the tour, we will then be able to date back when all the reunion planning started taking place.

Ok. Well for people in Ireland keeping score - AC/DC played the Aviva Stadium in 2015 (capacity somewhere between 35-50,000??)
They also played Punchestown Racecourse in 2009 - the same venue GnR played in 2006Kinda hoping for Slane or a mainland UK show if this is any indicator (tho it's possible Ireland isn't on the tour itinerary at all). Don't care for the Aviva at all, Punchestown is a good venue but a bollocks to get in & out of.
Guess we'll see..
Well, it has been claimed that GN'R may be playing the Aviva stadium around the weekend of the Reading festival
The problem is, can Reading afford GN'R
Then we have this German date in July. That ticket link with 15th July I think is a presumed date, because the venue claim they could not host a concert then because it takes them more than a couple of weeks to prepare the venue for the German F1 event. So if Bild is right, the German date will be early July which would coincide with BST. Then we have The Sun who are determined GN'R are playing at Slane. I also have further info on a possible Portugal date, again in July. It's all complicated, but I feel if we can nail down one date, then rest will fall into place.
All I know definitely know is, there is no UK date booked as we speak

#509 Re: Guns N' Roses » Same Old, Same Old » 505 weeks ago
The capacity of the O2 is too small
I cannot see the band playing repeated nights.

This is why I waited.
All this time I silently watched this all from afar like an old veteran, and today is proof of what I always feared... even a reunion... wouldn't change a goddamn thing about how Axl operates.
And that's okay. I've come to accept it. It is what it is.
All of these questions. 2016 will be a BIG YEAR for Guns N' Roses, and... a press release came and went, the rollout was botched, Axl did nothing, and Slash & Duff were AGAIN left to promote something that hasn't even been their baby in over 20 years.
I'm really curious what money is on the line. Whether Coachella actually contracted them to MAKE THEIR FIRST appearence together. What interest does Slash & Duff have in this? What's the payday?
Because right now? Axl owns it all, and Slash & Duff are already in line to do all the work.
I don't blame Team Brazil. I blame 'ol Sittin Bull. It was always him. It must be a big ass payday for them to be prepared to put up with this. I don't see how they will be willing, unless GN'R are going to have alot of downtime for Slash & Duff to do solo stuff. Richard & Dizzy with Dead Daisies as well.
Btw, It does feel nice to be vindicated though. I said FOR YEARS that the reunion would be Axl, Slash, Richard, Duff, Frank, Dizzy & Chris... and I remember getting slammed by the reunionites and the "fuck Richard, fuck Frank" shit, it's Steven & Matt or fuck off -- types.
With that said. Long live Guns and hopefully 2016 will be the year for GN'R that it has been prophecized.
GN'R will be getting paid 8 million dollars for doing Coachella. It is the highest amount ever paid by the festival for any act. The contract is between AEG/Goldenvoice and Slash, Duff and Axl who have agreed a share of the money. No other GN'R members are part of the contract, the band are free to choose whoever they wish to play. No other dates will be announced for a certain period of time to allow Goldenvoice to promote the festival first. The reunion came about because AEG promoted the Las Vegas residencies and built up a trust with Axl and his management. Some people knew GN'R were headlining Coachella five months ago, so it looks as though everything was agreed earlier than we thought, well, than I thought anyway.
Izzy was not wanting to be contracted to appear, but will appear at some point during the year. I do not know anything about Adler.
The European tour is still being finalised. There is no UK date at this point in time. Negotiations are still under way. So Reading, BST, all of those have not agreed anything with the band.
