Well, UK papers, bar the ones I contacted, have reported the GN'R logo and cinema stories, so I am keeping my fingers crossed on this. Still a Bank Holiday today, so maybe later tomorrow.

Just a quick note about the official website.
It is only the front page and the menu system that have been deleted. All the content is still there, it just looks different
So, here's example news http://www.gunsnroses.com/news/106391
releases http://www.gunsnroses.com/releases/the_ … i_incident
photos http://www.gunsnroses.com/media/photos/25471
videos http://www.gunsnroses.com/media/videos/19832
and so on

MIGHT be a chance of some partial reunion NYE to create more buzz but I don't know if that would be the right thing to do with how this is now playing out.
That would be interesting

Here's the back end of the NCM website which gives details on creating and uploading your advert. http://adspecs.ncm.com/national-advertising
So one would presume someone, somewhere, created the advert to the speculations as described by the spec above then it went from there into the cinemas.

It'll say Regal, NCM or Firstlook (NCM brand) probably
Actually 1st look does sound familiar. I figured it was some spotify startup but i think that was the name.
What is it?
An NCM branded operation http://www.firstlookonline.com/

AEG are linked to the cinema world (as well as other media sources) through these affiliates http://www.aegworldwide.com/about/affiliates/
This company appears to do cinema advertising http://www.aegworldwide.com/about/affil … lcinemedia
I'll look into it
NCM, the second link, appear to be the people behind the advert.
So this is totally AEG driven

Would they really go this far just to have it be a festival announcement? Yeah Coachella is the big enchilada but that's going a bit far IMO.
I take it as simply letting the world know in a big way that its coming. I don't think its promoting anything other than the fact more promo is coming. Its 'Round 1'....
If Coachella is anything like other big festivals and I'm assuming it is given its size then it will sell out whoever is there. Aside from announcing the headliners there's no other promo needed beyond the norm, which this certainly isn't. Why burn up cash on teaser promos for an event that would be full regardless?
That is GNR promo, not Coachella, imo.
I do not think it is a Coachella standalone advert, I was more thinking it could be a specific GN'R at Coachella advert and not a GN'R everywhere advert, if you get what I mean.

I do not know
It could make sense to graduate the announcements, if that is the right word. Focus on the first festival, put everything into that, then let each festival and tour segment have it's own teasers and air time. Sometimes flooding the airwaves with everything all at once is not the best way to go because you lose that momentum.

This thing is happening folks. I'm now convinced.
Going to be a whole lot of fun seeing how this unfolds - hope Uncle Axl is ensconced in a gym right about now, has cut down on the booze and is getting into fighting shape. Also hope he's seriously working on his vocals - this reunion would be a hell of a lot more if he is bringing his A-game.Rumours around the web of them entering a studio in early 2016 to cut 1-2 new songs? That reeks of Greatest Hits or Box set. Additions to CD2?
Getting rather excited!
I read the Sludge report.
There is no movement from Universal, so I have no idea about recording new material.
The only aspect I find odd is that they said that Slash and co. are reportedly going to sign contracts in January. Why would AEG pile money into advertising GN'R if they hadn't signed anything already. It would represent a big risk and just doesn't make sense. But hey ho, who knows.
Whatever you think about the reunion, it has come across this time as a well planned project and alot of work has gone into, not just the planning, but keeping everyone quiet. They have done a commendable job.
