Title: Re: GUNS IN VEGAS!!! CONFIRMED!!!!! Post by: Lesty on August 14, 2006, 03:45:45 PM Until more dates come, I'll be skeptical that this is a sign of a full blown tour.
That it's in Vegas, at a small venue like the Hard Rock....this could just be a teaser show for later in the fall. Regardless, this has to be a sign that we've GOT to hear some CD news (good or bad) within the next two weeks. Title: Re: GUNS IN VEGAS!!! CONFIRMED!!!!! Post by: Buddha_Master on August 14, 2006, 03:46:58 PM Seriously...I am fucking in on the party. We have to do this proper like.

Post by: GnR-NOW on August 14, 2006, 04:02:09 PM I hope with the incoming tour dates, that we get a CD release date soon. ?I think a ton of non-die hard fans want to pull for this band but with their own material. ?I think the next few weeks are goign to be really exciting, I hope we see something similar to what we saw in the late spring how Euro dates kept getting added by the day

Good fucking question...please let me know too. Do you think a forum presale will be required for this show? I think a forum presale would be NICE. I also think it depends what kind of venues they're playing. Obviously not all of the US dates can be festivals, esp as it gets later into the fall, and I would have to assume they would look toward arenas. With that in mind, trying to fight for general release tickets for MSG will drive me insane. Title: Re: GUNS IN VEGAS!!! CONFIRMED!!!!! Post by: Neemo on August 14, 2006, 04:07:31 PM well what is the capacity of that venue?...hammerstien was only like 3500 people that's why there was a presale for them 4 shows was only 14,000 seats total!! :peace:

The acoustics are superb, equally pristine for the hard-rocking thump of Danzig or the quiet bluegrass fiddle of Alison Krauss. Sometimes the place can get overloaded (as can many of the patrons), and you'll definitely pay for the privilege of seeing an arena band in a 1,500-seat venue.

I'll be there with microphones making sure these do not go undocumented like the last go-round. I'll be seeing Tom Petty in Chicago the 2 nights previous, so itll work out great. Cheaper to fly to Vegas from Chicago than from Milwaukee. Title: Re: GUNS IN VEGAS!!! CONFIRMED!!!!!

Thanks phreakofnature. : ok: Damn...they are playing The Joint....1,500 seats...is that it!!! :o that would be an intense show to be sure!!! : ok: good luck getting seats to that puppy Only 1500?!! Good and bad at the same time. thanks neemo. I asked about it earlier but no reply. :( yeah i got the info from a web site Quote Depending on who's headlining, the room converts from a standard concert hall with folding chairs and small round tables to an open floor for dancing and even moshing. The acoustics are superb, equally pristine for the hard-rocking thump of Danzig or the quiet bluegrass fiddle of Alison Krauss. Sometimes the place can get overloaded (as can many of the patrons), and you'll definitely pay for the privilege of seeing an arena band in a 1,500-seat venue. But when The Joint is jumping, it's the best place in town. http://www.vegasticketsnow.com/the-joint-las-vegas-tickets.asp That'd be definitely a great privilege but with the place having only a seating capacity of 1500 it should be extremely difficult to get a ticket. I doubt if there're enough for a forum presale. :nervous: I don't know. When I saw them there 12-31-01 they didn't even sell out. people were buying tickets that night.?

Hell they didn't even announce these gigs, someone on here found the advertisement on the website. And tickets go on sale in 5 days! Axl is still in Europe. I think they plan on touring the US just like they did Europe. With a heavy AFD set and no album to speak of. I won't waste my cash on the same gig I saw in 2002.

Post by: Mattattack on August 14, 2006, 09:02:33 PM A part of me really wants to go to Vegas, but I already travelled to NY for opening night at The Hammerstein. I was lucky enough to hear TWAT, Better, IRS, The Blues, Madagascar, and Chinese Democracy at the same show. I know if I go to the Vegas shows, the setlist will just be the same ole rehash of 2002 and 2006 that i've seen and heard before. God damn Axl, why can't you do the right thing and release the fucking album before you start this North American Tour. I will come to see you if you play in Seattle or Vancouver before the album comes out. It would be nice if you could save me the ferry expense and come play Victoria at The Save on Foods Centre. I promise everyone here will be too stoned to bother rioting if you show up late or walk off stage. ?

Post by: GnR-NOW on August 14, 2006, 09:51:05 PM I would be great to get a CD dominant setlist at the Vegas shows, then after that balance out the rest of the shows, but I think GNR has to do something to just get CD material out there, if they can't manifest a way to release it.

Most big name shows in casino theaters tend to draw a good deal more than their regular tour prices. Tool was $65-85, so I would say GnR may be $80-100. Then again, I'd be far from shocked if the tickets were $125 again. the only reason I think the ones in 01 would be a bit more is because GnR was doing NO shows around the time.

Post by: GnR-NOW on August 14, 2006, 10:25:49 PM 01/01/01 was the return of GNR, it was 7 years since their last show .... but which was the better performance 01/01/01 or the end of 01 shows? Theres no doubt in my mind that 2006 is going to be the stand out based on what the year has produced from GNR so far.
Title: Re: GUNS IN VEGAS!!! CONFIRMED!!!!! Post by: dankrass on August 14, 2006, 10:44:10 PM No question, these shows should be, by far, the best of the Vegas shows. Though the 12/29,31/01 shows were a blast, Axl's voice is in a way better place this year. Though I still think Buckethead was the best guitarist GnR has had since Slash, Robin Finck really stepped it up in 2006. He went from a timid, unsure-of-himself 'throw away,' to a real force in Guns N Roses. Though he can't be what bucket was, he's done a stellar job, acing as a man possesssed, putting everything he possibly can into his performances. Richard has really stepped up as well, though his role isn't as large. In years past, they truly did not seem to be a band onstage. Now, they really are. I'm excited for these shows. Hopefully they can manage to learn how to mix sound properly in a room this size; I was not happy at all, sound-wise, at the Joint in 01, and Hammerstein was not much better --- the vocal mix is just never right on the louder numbers.

Title: Re: GUNS IN VEGAS!!! CONFIRMED!!!!! Post by: Buddha_Master on August 15, 2006, 02:21:59 AM Honestly Im getting concerned about getting the actual tickets. I want to go sooo bad. But I dont understand how this presale will work, and with a 1,500 seat capacity, well...
Sunday I think will be out of the question for me so...Saturday or bust. Damn, just 2 tickets to the Saturday gig...that is all I ask of the music gods. Just 2 tickets to the Saturday gig, and Chinese Democracy released. Is that asking too much? Title: Re: GUNS IN VEGAS!!! CONFIRMED!!!!!

Title: Re: GUNS IN VEGAS!!! CONFIRMED!!!!! Post by: nesquick on August 15, 2006, 05:25:27 AM I still hope they will return with 2 guitar players (Robin and Richard). Don't get me wrong, I like bbf, I like the guy, but this band could be even more a "real band" with just 2 guitar players. They would be tigher! It would look less like "Axl and his hundreds musicians onstage". The European Tour was already very good. But they could still do better if they arranged a few things.
Title: Re: GUNS IN VEGAS!!! CONFIRMED!!!!! Post by: jazjme on August 15, 2006, 06:10:57 AM That is narroe minded thinking imo, there has always been evolution in bands and what lind of band and such, for instance back in the 60's my dad was bass player for a band called olive, they consisted of a lead guitar, bass, female and male lead vocals, drummer. Had they not a asshole manager who fucked over the female lead singer, things were looking good, poin tis look later on to bands like Fleetwood MAc, and other bands that had different configurations, its obviously been Axls vison, he wanted to do it with Slash and the others but they wanted no part, (Ego perhaps). BUT seriously, I liked Bucket and I like BBF, and seems things are goin right they way Axl has invisioned he wants the band so not to disrespect you nes, but we really need to see what CD brings, to really see how it all works out in the end.
BUt as far as Im concerned seeing them playu was a feast for the eyes and ears, so many things always goin on, makes goin to see the band numerous times so worth while to listen to or key in on members playing, while still absorbing the show as a whole. Title: Re: GUNS IN VEGAS!!! CONFIRMED!!!!! Post by: Jonx on August 15, 2006, 07:17:53 AM Yeah, the new stuff has been written with three guitarists in mind so i dont think Bumblefoot has been given the chance to shine yet. I've said it before and i will say it again.... most of the songs on Appetite were arranged and recorded with three or more guitars, Slash doubled up on alot of songs to beef them out. The old songs that this band play are more true to the recordings than they ever were back in the old days!
I dont think we will see anymore new material on the US tour though, i recon America is going to get the exact same set. This is 2002 all over again except they are actually going to follow through with CD after the end of the tour. Just my opinion Jonx Title: Re: GUNS IN VEGAS!!! CONFIRMED!!!!! Post by: nesquick on August 15, 2006, 07:32:34 AM Yeah right, and I think they also need 20 guitar players to play "you ain't the first", man it's too complicated for Richard and Robin, there are so many guitar parts there! way way too complicated for them?:hihi:
Anyway, to be more serious, they might play Rhyad and Catcher... they were on the setlist of the European tour I think? ;) I'd like to hear Catcher in the Rye :) Can't wait for september? :beer: Title: Re: GUNS IN VEGAS!!! CONFIRMED!!!!! Post by: Jonx on August 15, 2006, 07:44:12 AM Yeah right, and I think they need 20 guitar players to play "you ain't the first", man it's too complicated for Richard and Robin, there are so many guitar parts there! way way too cmplicated for 2 players :hihi: Anyway, to be more serious and less sarcastic, they might play Rhyad and Catcher... they were on the setlist of the European tour I think. and believe me, I really, really can't see 3 guitar players on Catcher in the Rye :rofl: Im just saying that for all we know the 40 or so songs they claim to have recorded are probably written around 3 main guitarists, not 2 like in the old band, that is why Bumblefoot is there, that is why he will remain there. I can see 3 guitarists playing Catcher in the Rye, all you do is have 2 playing the rythem parts, it makes the whole live sound of the band much warmer, thats the only word i can think of to describe it, it just sounds better in my opinion. You must have seen some of the bootlegs of the old band, especially in the Gilby days when you could barely hear the rythem guitar, to me, when i watch those performances they just sound so empty. They are still amazing because Slash is one hell of a player but i do prefer this current line up with the extra guitarist, but thats just personal preference. Jonx Title: Re: GUNS IN VEGAS!!!

Title: Re: GUNS IN VEGAS!!! CONFIRMED!!!!! Post by: JeRrYFaR on August 15, 2006, 04:25:08 PM That does suck.. :o
Maybe you can go a couple of weeks later too.. ;) Title: Re: GUNS IN VEGAS!!! CONFIRMED!!!!! Post by: GnR-NOW on August 15, 2006, 04:46:44 PM is the joint general admission?
Title: Re: GUNS IN VEGAS!!! CONFIRMED!!!!! Post by: dankrass on August 15, 2006, 04:48:24 PM Yes. And they oversold the fuck out of it. Your best bet is to get on the drink rail behind the main floor/pit area. You are still very close and see over the crowd, you can lean on something, and you have actually air flowing in front of you, not sweaty people.
Also, most of the people will flood into the pit area so its not like you have to be right up front in line to get a spot on the rail. Title: Re: GUNS IN VEGAS!!! CONFIRMED!!!!! Post by: GnR-NOW on August 15, 2006, 04:52:31 PM holy shit, i just looked at the pics of the joint online, its like one big room lol

True, I went to Korn last staurday at the joint...but I always end up fighting my way up front everytime I see a show there, most people flock to the bottom, but you can still usually get in from the side and straight to the front....hell, when i saw motley crue there, I stood in the very back at the bar and still had a great view Title: Re: GUNS IN VEGAS!!! CONFIRMED!!!!! Post by: GnR-NOW on August 15, 2006, 04:54:21 PM how do you get to the vip section
Title: Re: GUNS IN VEGAS!!! CONFIRMED!!!!! Post by: axlrosegnr on August 15, 2006, 04:58:05 PM how do you get to the vip section Its just the balcony, when you buy tickets just ask. You'll get full bar service and waitresses, but to me, it'd kinda suck being up there when i could be on the floor in front anyways Title: Re: GUNS IN VEGAS!!! CONFIRMED!!!!! Post by: Buddha_Master on August 15, 2006, 05:08:08 PM Lol didnt ealize there aren't seats. Sounds like the paladium kind of joint. Thats cool. My wife is clueless to seeing bands in hollywood in places like this. This is going to be very badass. Hopefully no smelly motherfuckers.
Showers are your friends. Title: Re: GUNS IN VEGAS!!! CONFIRMED!!!!! Post by: PrettyTiedUp763 on August 15, 2006, 11:03:23 PM Definitely a steep price, but GnR are worth it..? :beer: Yep. It is kind of high, but it's GNR. I'd give one of my kidneys to see them. Title: Re: GUNS IN VEGAS!!! CONFIRMED!!!!!

Post by: -Jack- on August 16, 2006, 02:25:18 AM I hope you guys all have fun at this gig! Wo0o0o. Im jealous, but I'll be at Invasion. Hopefully you guys will give me an idea on what kinda setlist they'll play.
Have fun suckas GNR! Title: Re: GUNS IN VEGAS!!! CONFIRMED!!!!! Post by: dankrass on August 16, 2006, 11:24:18 AM Hopefully the sound will be bettter this time. I heard it was subpar the last Vegas show. Was it the acoustics at the joint...or just technical sound board problems, etc..? It was GnR. Too much volume/square footage. The vocals were drowned out, just like at Hammerstein, but far worse at the Joint. Trust me, it's not the room - this is a premier hall. I've seen 2 other shows here (both Bob Dylan) and the sound was perfect! Now, Bob D isnt as loud as GnR, but this was about 5 years ago when he had his 3-guitar version of his band, so there are lots of songs that get cookin', and even on the very loud tunes, it was spot on. Even at Chicago 02, I thought the sound mix was sub-par. Again, ive seen many other shows there where it was spot-on. I don't know who does sound for GnR these days, but they are severely lacking in ability. I almost prefer to see them in outdoor venues from now on, as its even harder to screw up a sound mix in an open-air environment --- but with my experiences with GnR' sound team, I wouldn't be surprised if they screwed that up too.

Was it the acoustics at the joint...or just technical sound board problems, etc..? The acoustics are great at the joint....ive been to at least 40+ shows there....its what the place was designed for...most of the shows sounded great, some were so-so....yeah, the last time i saw Gn'R there, the music overpowered the vocals Title: Re: GUNS IN VEGAS!!! CONFIRMED!!!!! Post by: Chief on August 16, 2006, 02:25:42 PM last time i was at the joint the sound was great!! GNR is probably harder to mix but hope their sound guy has been learning how to do it lately......
Title: Re: GUNS IN VEGAS!!! CONFIRMED!!!!! Post by: RR Mafia on August 16, 2006, 06:55:19 PM The last time I saw GnR at the Joint was the Dec. 29th show, the first of the two shows they did there. That show had a lot of technical difficulties and the overall sound was muddy. From what I heard, the second show was great, they fixed the problems and rocked the house.
Now I have to choose wich show to buy tickets for because Im only going to one. Wich night do you think they will be better. :nervous: Title: Re: GUNS IN VEGAS!!! CONFIRMED!!!!! Post by: dankrass on August 16, 2006, 07:15:46 PM I think you can count on the band being on their game both nights.
Axl will be well rested and should have no problem delivering back-to-back vocal performances. I'd say either one, but if I had to pick (I don't, I'm seeing both), I'd see the 2nd.... the only reason being they havent played in over a month and, though they should NOT be, they could be a tad rusty the first night. Title: Re: GUNS IN VEGAS!!! CONFIRMED!!!!! Post by: Chief on August 16, 2006, 07:42:19 PM If I had to choose i'd pick the first vegas gig because there is a possibility they may bust out a new tune/single!!!

Thats cool man. I was leaning toward the second night for that same reason. BUT.. The energy level might be off the hook the first night being a sat. night in vegas and the first show in a while. If there are no tech probs then that could be the better show. I dont know, I have till sat to think about it. thanks man. :nervous: : ok: :peace: Title: Re: GUNS IN VEGAS!!! CONFIRMED!!!!! Post by: DaNutz on August 16, 2006, 09:51:36 PM Theres a virtual tour of the joint located here:
http://www.hardrockhotel.com/virtual/index.html Looks very cool...Does anyone know if the floor is at an incline? Im only 5'7 and seems like If Im somewhere in the middle, I may have trouble seeing. Also if you get up to go to the bathroom or grab a drink, how hard is it to slime your way back to your spot? (Im thinking Id try for a spot behind one of the rails). Thanks!

(Im thinking Id try for a spot behind one of the rails). Thanks! I I remember correctly it is not on an incline. I think there are ramps on the side of the room for wheelchair access. Maybe........ I went to the bathroom twice during the last LV gig and got back in no problem at all. I got in late and still was able to get fairly close. The place is small, any spot is a great one! Title: Re: GUNS IN VEGAS!!! CONFIRMED!!!!! Post by: Falcon on August 16, 2006, 10:32:13 PM Looks very cool...Does anyone know if the floor is at an incline? Nope, no incline. It's a great room, saw The Cult there at the beginning of March and thought the place was very cool. Title: Calgary + Vegas??? Post by: gnr2thebone on August 17, 2006, 02:45:51 AM First time posting here guys, but have been reading this board daily for the past 4 years!!! I'm from Calgary, AB Canada and was wondering if anyone from here is heading down to the Vegas shows? I went to 4 shows in 02 and there is no way in hell i'm missing this one! Would be great to hear from some of you from Calgary, or even Western Canada for that matter. Title: Re: GUNS IN VEGAS!!! CONFIRMED!!!!! Post by: gnr2thebone on August 17, 2006, 02:54:00 AM Do any of you know if all the tickets are GA or are there sections that you can choose from on Ticketmaster? Also for any of you who went to the 01 shows there how easy is it to move to front assuming that the whole place is GA? P.S Can't wait to get my nuts kicked in at this show!!!!!! GNR2THEBONE Title: Re: GUNS IN VEGAS!!! CONFIRMED!!!!! Post by: Spirit on September 15, 2006, 02:44:21 PM Didn't bother to create a new thread, but I'll guess there will be a new 'update-thread' tomorrow...
So, what do you think... any surprises tomorrow, can we hope for a new song? Personally, I hope they'll play Catcher In The Rye! :beer: Title: Re: GUNS IN VEGAS!!! CONFIRMED!!!!! Post by: LittleFly on September 15, 2006, 03:17:02 PM Personally, I'm expecting a set list much like the most recent shows overseas. There has been no single or announcement :-\
Still, I can't wait to see the updates!! Who's gonna be sending them? ;D Title: Re: GUNS IN VEGAS!!! CONFIRMED!!!!!
