The competition this year is enormous. Every rock act it seems are doing their stadium tours, and in some cases (RHCP, RATM) reunion tours. Bolllllld move if they don’t release new music to promote it...
Rage Against the Machine are playing hockey arenas(slight difference.. about 40k less seats) with names of various financial institutions... but they won't have any problems selling tickets as they already have a built-in audience due to the current American political climate. I really hate this fucking band
Rage Against the Machine while we cash our corporate checks from Sony records fuck off and then some. End rant

Yeah, I think the Tool comparison is the best one, they hadn't released new music in a long time, and from what I read, the album was really hard to get a hold of, and it STILL sold really well. Add to that, Tool ain’t nowhere near the sold-out stadium mega tour status that GN’R are, and they’re worried about how to put an album out? Just bullshit excuses
Tool have been around since 1991 and this was the first album in what 12 years. And let's not kid ourselves the album was snorefest full of nothing but Feller and jam sessions. And like James said the only reason it was even released was to justify another 10 years of touring
It was hard to get a hold of because they did a over-the-top hipster nonsense box set release limited too I believe less than 10,000 copies,
10,000 Days entered the U.S. Billboard 200 chart at number 1, selling 564,000 copies in its first week.
Last album 2019: 270,000 album-equivalent units*
252k real album sales
s*the formula of 1,500 on-demand audio and/or video song streams = 10 track sales = 1 album sale.

Other artists continue to release albums in 2020.
And 99% of them range somewhere between mediocre and total embarrassment

Slash with Guitar.com
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.”
Translation: Nobody under 35 buys fucking music anymore... Why would we waste time with that when bovines and boomers are paying $200 bucks a head to see a broad way tier performance... and that's all these legacy rock tours are nowadays. Worse than CATS.... Oy fuck'n vey
Srsly though... What is the point of releasing new material?? Do you think that will attract even more fans?? and sell more tickets to a very popular world tour?? I mean, who the fuck doesn't already know who this band is??
Lastly... rock as a commercially viable source of huge profits for (((labels))) is long dead. Look at the numbers(physical retail and tour stats) of any act that is not 15+ years old.... Shit... can you even name a semi known rock band that was formed since 2005?

#28 Re: Guns N' Roses » Hard School leak » 289 weeks ago
Been waiting to here this full song for years... although a demo. Not disappointed
X2... should have been released as a standalone non-album track single right after Vegas and then the actual album dropped (disc 1)after the aborted 2001 tour... feel free to pick up any track potentially off of it as singles with IRS and if the world as b-sides.
