Just wondering did anyone who pre-ordered from the GNR website get a dispatch notification yet?

Apparently their notoriously slow in dispatching stuff. So you could be waiting a while..

Appetite back in the Billboard 200 Top 10, 29 years later due to the re-issue.

Guns N’ Roses’ classic 1987 debut album, Appetite for Destruction, returns to the top 10 on the Billboard 200 chart after more than 29 years. The former No. 1 re-enters the tally (dated July 14) at No. 10, following its deluxe remastered reissue on June 29.

Only song recorded before the 21st century to reach a billion views on Youtube.

With the NITL tour ending in Nov (well rumoured too) will we get an in-depth Doc on the reunion and how it came about, evolving on tour etc. The tour is all about $$$ so it's prob in the pipeline

Well it's ending until sometime 2019 any ways, what with Slash doing his own thing, Axl presumably occupied with AC/DC..

As for getting anything from GN'R, to be honest you've more chances of winning the Lotto or Euromillions.

So will that GNR central guy on YouTube be affected by this ???

He just does news and interviews with people who've had some kind of involvement with Guns over the years, what's going on has more to do with concert bootlegs being uploaded/fan channels being shut down on YouTube.

I think it’s more to do with their faces and botched plastic surgery.

Or aging is simply a bitch.

So Richard has been yapping about a new album AGAIN this time in to the St. Louis Post Dispatch. Can judge his comments for yourselves.

Slash is on tour right now. Once he gets back from that, we’re gonna get some more recording done and hopefully get an album out soon. And then we’ll get back to touring.

And he said the following in December to a St. Louis radio station in December

We’re going to try and do another record and get it out soon. I think it will happen faster than you think. I sure hope it happens faster than you think

At this stage I'm convinced Richard is contractually obliged to comment about a GNR album a set number of times during a calendar year. Unless Axl says something about a future album then no disrespect to Richard fortus, but his word holds about as much weight as DJ Ashba's did(possibly a bit harsh on Richard there) when he was in GNR.

I know with Richard, a mine of salt has to be taken whenever he makes these kind of comments, but Slash himself has now spoken and well here's what he's said.

Axl, Duff, myself and Richard have all talked about... there's material and stuff going on already for a new record. It's just, with Guns N' Roses, you don't go, Oh, there is a plan, and it's gonna be like this, because that's not how it works. So, basically, the only real answer to give is we're hoping to put a new record out, and we'll just see what happens when it happens.

So now that Slash has spoken, I'd take what he says with a bit more weight..

The band have their first show of the year as one of the headliners for the Louder Than Life Festival in Louisville, Kentucky in late September.

Guns N’ Roses Rumored To Reunite With Izzy Stradlin
By Brett Buchanan - Apr 6, 2019

On the latest Rock Talk with Mitch Lafon, Lafon asked former Guns N’ Roses manager Alan Niven if Izzy Stradlin could reunite with Guns N’ Roses at the Louder Than Life festival in Louisville, Kentucky later this year. Alternative Nation transcribed Lafon and Niven’s comments.

Lafon asked Niven if Izzy could show up.

Niven said, “Let’s keep this in the realm of pure whimsical speculation, and bare in mind that I hate Las Vegas and I’m not a gambling man.”

Lafon responded, “Speak slowly, because Alternative Nation is currently jotting down the notes. They’ve got their pen and pencil, so don’t go too fast, because we don’t want them to get it wrong.”

Niven added, “Let me repeat, this is purely me sitting with a cup of coffee and a smoke, and maybe my little vape to keep my good nerves in shape. I’m not a betting man as I just said, I’m not a fan of Las Vegas, I think gambling is the most ridiculous human occupation of all, but I would bet and I would gamble on this one. I would lay dollars to donuts that it’s going to be a genuine reunion, and they’re hoping to get Izzy onstage, not just for a soundcheck, but for a performance. I think it’s very much a, ‘Let’s see how it goes, let’s see if Izzy is comfortable, and we can prep up for next year.’ I would definitely put $5 on a winner, winner, winner, that Izzy is going to be there.”

Lafon mentioned the show is not far from Izzy’s hometown in Indiana.

Niven added that Louisville is close to home to Izzy, and could play a role in it.

“I would be amongst the unsurprised if it turned out to be a genuine reunion of some sort.”

Niven said to avoid ‘Velvet Roses Part 2’ Izzy should play the whole show, and Steven Adler should come on for the encore.

He also called Izzy the ‘heart of the soul’ of Guns N’ Roses. He said, “It was always Izzy’s band.”
