4. Duff said there would be news in around a week (in an interview that was pulled).

The interview was not pulled. The site had issues resulting in them loosing several links including but not limited to that small Duff piece.
The full Duff interview has yet to be posted.

I just checked it again....

Barely any tickets have sold since checking weeks ago.

This is going to rival the 2002 tour.


They're going to have to Groupon the living shit out of this shindig.

Is it the promoters that suffer or do the band take a portion of the ticket sales? Either way I don't feel much sympathy, the band has had plenty of time and opportunity to do something.

Hardly anyone is going. Practically entire sections are available.

When did they go on sale? I cant see. They still have time to sell a lot i guess but if they don't surely they have to think about downsizing venues in US, or release something

I think even they drop an album tomorrow (impossible) will not save this situation, they are paying the lack of promotion and new things, totally deserved at this point

There is ONE thing they can do with the time remaining and it would work:

Go in the studio with Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders (who are opening a lot of shows) and cut some really inspired cover song as a duet and rush it to rock radio and streaming services. No fucking around. Pick something that fits her voice and Axl’s, cut it quick, and get it out.

Possible choices: “Love Hurts” by Nazareth, “Chain of Fools” by Aretha Franklin, “Why Don’t We Do It on The Road” by The Beatles (give Slash space to add a kickass solo), or for a new “Knockin’ …” vibe do “People Get Ready” by Curtis Mayfield (think of the Jeff Beck/Rod Stewart version). They could probably reinvent a Fleetwood Mac song together as well.

Add something with instant name recognition and novelty value to the repertoire. Do it nightly on the tour.

Boom — GnR is newsworthy again.

Nuno Bettencourt is generating more press for GNR than GNR is for themselves! How about a Rhianna cover song with Nuno, Richard and Slash.
