They are mainly reworking Axl songs.
I was really hoping we were going to get some Fortus/Slash co-written stuff, but oh well.
#602 Re: Guns N' Roses » It's time to admit, Paul Tobias was actually a good writer » 354 weeks ago
Here is how I view Paul's songwriting
If you took the riffs out of jungle scom PC brownstone RQ etc etc and the song ls started with the vocals and had the same chord progressions.. that's a paul song but he isnt able to write the classic iconic rememberable riff that make songs classic
I could give Axl a bunch of chord progressions to sing over and he could make a decent album from it cause hes Axl
I mean, Paradise City started with the chord progressions. The iconic intro was added later.

The event will mark the first live music concert to be staged at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium since the venue opened in April this year and will be the only date on which the band will be performing their enormous and beloved catalogue of hits in the UK.
lol, I'll believe it when I see it. They've left a big gaping hole in their schedule for a second date.
The Saturday got added straight away
Tickets booked, new album or not should be a good evening.
As predicted. I did both dates last time, but having spent shitloads on Golden Circle tix for the first date, and with my back giving me gyp, I'm not sure I can manage two in a row. Maybe I'll pick up a seat for the 30th on the secondary market...

The usual format for an artist these days seems to be first single and promo, album and second single then tour. Doesn’t have to be this way of course but that’s the usual formula. The fact the tour seems to start in only a few months and there’s nothing so far new material wise is a bit of a concern. Maybe they’ll release it whilst on the road uyi style?
I hadn’t really expected anything at this point and was thinking maybe end of 2020 for new music anyway but as they’re on the road for most of the year it means they probably need an album basically complete by spring?
They only really need one new track to kickstart the promo push. Toe in the water stuff. A lot of the cynicism about "I'll believe there's a new album when I see it, lol it's been four years and no new music, lol Axl took a decade to release Chinese Democracy etc" will evaporate as soon as there's concrete evidence of new music in the form of a new track.

Yup, the second Axl says "This is from our new album..." on stage it'll spread round the internet like wildfire. They have to be ready to move straightaway. Actually coming up with a coherent promo plan, like normal bands do, would go a long way towards eliminating the sour taste left by the fiasco that was Chinese Democracy's release.
What is a basic promo plan these days?
Single on iTunes, do they do a video? Or is streamed on FB? Would I get it via Apple Music?I was listening to Body Count’s Blood Lust album. I only just realized it was out. 2 years late.
Apple Music/Spotify promo already queued up with teasers etc. Digital outdoor ad spots booked well in advance. Single (well, album preview track) ready to launch at the click of a button the instant Axl says "This is from our new album..." up on stage. The track drops on streaming services as the news that holy shit, GN'R has new music is reported across music sites. Maybe a follow-up interview with Axl, Slash and Duff a few days later with like Rolling Stone or one of the late night shows, or something. "The inside story of the new album" that's largely a teaser piece. Etc etc.

It looks like it'll be the only date in the UK.

#609 Re: Guns N' Roses » New Album Thread » 358 weeks ago
And yeah, I suspect there'll be a second date added "due to overwhelming demand" as per usual. Which is annoying 'cos I then end up going to both to hear the alt setlist...
#610 Re: Guns N' Roses » New Album Thread » 358 weeks ago
I don't care if there's nothing new, I'm going. I skipped out on the 2002 UK gigs because I was a poor student, and I've kicked myself ever since; missed out on my one chance to see Buckethead live.
I know if I bail on these shows because "no new songs" or whatever, I'll regret it down the line.
