Well 3 tours finished, a fourth one on the way with good reviews even about the new songs.
It looks positive this year to be a fan of gnr. And one day they will be back where they belong but it might take a while.
But on the other hand.. I don't think the us is homesoil anymore for gnr..
Europe loves gnr, Brazil loves gnr, Australia loves gnr... Japan/asia loves gnr...
Who cares if they get loved in the us for all the fans/people went through with gnr over the years.
If you look at the fans, the people attending the shows... What does your heart tells you.. my says that gnr is succesfull and always has been even with it's flaws etc etc.
