Here Today... Gone To Hell!

My question is why are we so fascinated with live GNR concert updates? Myself included.  We almost know what the setlist is going to be every concert in exact order, but still we are all here looking for up to the second updates about the show.  Some of us complain, some of us expect a new song, some expect nothing, or some expect a major announcement ... and time after time we get nothing but we already knew, but the next concert we are all online for every detail about the show.  It's like we all love GNR, we all want something new, we never get anything new, we get upset, but yet we always come back because we love the band ... ironic right?

yeah its like gnr is a drug that we are all addicted to and when nothing happens its like an angry come down and when something exiting happens its like a buzz

well, i stayed up for the first concert in Mexico, but went to sleep before the second one since I new it'd be 3am before i would go to sleep, that and I had to get up early.

I don't see what's the big deal with other than the warm-up, tour starter & finnishers and somehow special shows..

We've been dancing with Mr. Brownstone.......

are you using the Firefox logo ?

We want to see if there's a riot.

Or a no show.

On wikipedia under like "concerts" or something it says Bruce Springsteen fans in particular do this all the time (text message the setlist to the internet) but there's no mention of GNR fans.

But on the other hand, I'm sure there's a Britney Spears forum around that someone text messages whatever song comes up next on the CD at her live shows.

i can't help it.. i need toknow what they are playing where ever they are. i'm not expecting anything new.
if i had my wa i'd be at every single show, but i can't so this is the next best thing.

1.) We're all a bunch of mother hens, for one.  Cluck cluck, motherfucker!
2.) We seem to be obsessed with the idea that Axl might mention the album, on stage. 
3.) We hope that someone vaguely looks like Merck, so that we can say he was there and then Beta can call us liars.
4.) We use the band's ability to not cancel as evidence that things are going well (thus, the panic that seems to set it around midnight  :nervous:).
5.) We hope they'll play a totally new song, so the rest of us can bitch about having not been the ones to hear it, thus giving new life to our collective sense of entitlement.
6.) They may have changed the color of the logo on the sleeve of one of the tour shirts, and that's important, damn it!

Yes?

^^? ?:rofl:  #1.. :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:

The greatest fucking post I have ever read here in my life :beer: :beer:

I can't believe I'm the fist one to say so...come on man..that shits funny right there

This Internet thingy connects people around the world........why not use it.

PS. Ever heard of groupies.....

my take on it like others is that it is fun we like gnr and something to do with other gnr fans so we like it

To me its just something about Guns N' Roses, I live on the east coast and stayed up to watch the Inland Invasion webcast, I try to stay up for the first few updates when they tour.  I think I do it to make sure everything goes smoothly each night, but I do hope to new There was a time also.

To go to a live show is such an amazing experience...it's so much fun to re-live it through fellow gunners! 

I agree. The live NYC shows were amazing

I dont care what's going on at another show, and all I ever want to know if there's any reasonable album details.
I dont care about the setlists, the solos, or Axl's shoes color.
I'm only hoping we get some bit of info as to how long it will take them to finish mixing, and whatever else there is yet to be done.

I just happen to love GNR and I like to know whats going on at the shows. I really stopped expecting something a long time ago so I don't get my hopes up and be let down because of my own self when they don't do something special.

I've stopped reading the live-show update threads in real time.  Now, I just look the next day.  I just don't get the people who weren't at the show, and see the same setlist for the 100th time who say "Wow, what an amazing night!"  Um....why was it an "amazing" show?  Because a band is performing?  Sad to say, I just don't get it anymore, and I've become indifferent.

Still mixin'? i hope they finished mixin' a few months ago

I'm not a setlist mania.
How they perform is more interesting than what they play.

the attractions are

this
It's a great feeling to cheer for a band and board mates at the show live with other nuts from all over the world.
a sense of solidarity is there, which is, yeah just virtual but otherwise we will never able to be all together at a show so...

and this

little happenings are also fun. I like hearing tidbits.

well i know for those of us who have been fans of the band since the illusion days and before....GNR playing any type of concert is still a HUGE deal...at least for me.....we had 8 years of no concerts...just seeing them active is great...and thats why I check the updates....

that is true.. with the live updates.. there's a sure axl sighting.. and to be honest.. the last 15 years have had more christ sightings in potato chips and more elvis sightings then axl sightings...
