Neither answer applies for me. But it was what I expected. The true test will be to see how the shows sell. If they don't sell well because they're hitting the same markets again with the same setlist and no new music, then I think they'd be forced to do something to correct that. If they still sellout no problem, then that can wait. It's unfortunate for us, but that's the way it is. Outside of the hardcore fan base, others could care less about new music from GNR. They'd rather see them live and post about it on social media. It's the world we live in.

If the tickets are in the 35-85 range, they will sell well... If they are 200-500, it won't sell well...

It looks like they're over $100 to start. We'll see. I wasn't convinced the Stadium shows would sell as well as they did so they could surprise again.

Well the stadium shows were the first round and we didn't know how long this would last.. But now they are on the money train.. Could go on for 3 years like the UYI tour...

3 years of no interviews, videos, real promo, new music, etc... haha

Where is the "indifferent" option?

Tbh I didn't even realize there was hype. Maybe that's why I'm not too bothered about the tour announcement ... lol

It's black or white you must choose. Watch the promo video then look at outcome. No way in hell it lived up to that video.
