Re: 2016 Summer Stadium 'Not In This Lifetime' Tour
I've been assuming that all of this marketing is being driven by live nation. they are the ones with the financial interest in this tour doing well, and we are seeing some common marketing techniques that have been used on other large tours.
we also have Slash and Duff in the mix, plus a rejuvenated Axl. I'm guessing they have had a say in all of this as well.
I'm sure TB deserves some credit for helping to organize the small, on the ground type stuff (e.g. the $10 ticket giveaway), but I just can't believe that they are responsible for anything major. I think Fernando is doing small BS work behind the scenes. Dealing with Live Nation and representing Axl in some limited way. (still makes me cringe typing that.)
this is one of the biggest tours of the year. I picture TB just getting laughed at behind the scenes by the true players at Live Nation and other parties involved.
But if I am wrong, please let me know.

The general feel and scope of the promo suggests someone much bigger than TB is behind it. The way this is being handled compared to the last few years is like night and day so far. Long may it continue.

Isn't that an interview from a year ago?

Re: 2016 Summer Stadium 'Not In This Lifetime' Tour
Slash did a pretty small US tour over the past 2 years and now I know why. He didn't want over exposure in the US because he knew this tour was coming. The US tour legs for this last album was bullshit compared to the rest of the world. This had to be a factor.

Good observation.
It is starting to look like this had been in the works for longer than previously thought.
Also agree that the big boys are chaperoning this shindig.
