Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Well, seeing as the Band seems to be like a run away train and everything will come good in regards to the album, that I have no doubt.
As they played Ireland in 2006 and played in the bleedin RDS for gods sake. Why on why they played there i'll never know. Circumstances with work prevented me from going the last time, but I WILL be there next time the band come to Ireland.

Anyway, the point is where in the Country would you like to see them play.
Personally being from Cork, I'd like to see them in the City but that isin't likely.

Another possibilty is Croker, but would the band fill out the stadium ? 70,000 + seats and the field makes me think not.

Maybe the odyssey in the North could be a venue.

An outside chance would be in Millstreet, but this only holds 8,000 people.

And Slane could be another option either as a festival headliner or as a stand alone gig.

If I had my way, they come back here and play the Fillmore Detroit (formerly the State Theater). It's slightly larger then Hammerstein Ballroom and I'd love to see them in such a small environment again.

Really, they'll always be booked into Cobo Hall, Joe Louis Arena or the Palace Of Auburn Hills, but I'd still love to see a show at a place like the Fillmore.

Do you think they could fill out the venue in the first pic in my original post ? I try to be positive about things but I'm not sure they could fill it.

i think that G'n'R after CHINESE DEMOCRACY would have no problem at all filling any one of those stadiums up to the brim.

I just hope that they come to the Qwest center here in Omaha, NE. That would make my life, its only 30 minutes away from where i live now. :drool: i can just see it now tixs go on sale after i've been waiting in line for the last 3 4 days. Since the albums release most of my friends would be into G'n'R instead of Lincoln Park ( :puke: ). I could actually see my whole school there. All the hot chicks with there short skirts and..... :drool: :drool: ?:drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:

omfg i cant wait :beer: :headbanger:

Well, I'm from Iceland and first we need a promoter that actually has the guts to get GN'R to Iceland. A promoter (RR promotions) was offered GN'R on the last tour and the declined because of Axl's reputation. They told us so on their forum.

Given that they would actually get GN'R over here when Chinese Democracy is released there are few possibilities, three are the most probable.

Egilsh?ll: The biggest indoor venue... a football (soccer) building. Metallica, Maiden and Roger Waters have all played there. When Metallica played there were 18.000 people in there (keep in mind, Iceland is a country of just over 300.000 so that's a pretty large number). However, now they will probably not allow more than 15.000 for security reasons since people were fainting and shit during Metallica.

Laugardalsh?ll: A sports building, probably around 6000 people can be there at once. This building has the best sound of all the concert buildings in Iceland. Many artists have played there... too many to list.

Laugardalsv?llur: A fooball (soccer) field, I have no idea how many people could attend but probably around or over 20.000. However the timespan in which a concert can be held there is short, since it's used for football the whole summer and the winter is way too cold to play outside here.

Having said all this, I hope that GN'R come here on their next tour. GN'R have never played in Iceland so it would be really cool, Bumblefoot also mentioned in an interview that he really wanted to play here. And since Axl loves the nightlife, he'd be really happy here... fucking crazy nightlife.

I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Guns N' Roses played 4 times here, the 4 times at the River Plate stadium which is the biggest argentine football stadium. I attended the fourth show, the last one with Slash/Duff, the 17th of july in 1993.

When Guns N' Roses played there, the total capacity of the stadium was around 76.500. Now the capacity has been drastically reduced due to the seats that were placed all around the grades. Now, if I'm not wrong, the total capacity is around 65.000.

I think Guns N' Roses can easily make one stadium show in Buenos Aires. There are other smaller stadiums like the Velez Sarsfield stadium (Queen, Manson and Nirvana played there) and obvioulsy there are some arenas, similar to the NBA ones, like the Luna Park Stadium (around 15.000+ people)

In my opinion, Guns N' Roses should do ONE show in Buenos Aires, at the River Plate stadium. Two dates there would be too much, but just one could easily sellout in a few days. If GNR dont want to make stadium shows, well, I think 3 shows at the Luna Park stadium would be great: more chances for me to see the band live, and the overall sound quality at the Luna Park stadium would be better, that's for sure.

For example, a less popular band than GN'R in argentina, Pearl Jam, did two stadium shows (Estadio Ferro) in 2005. I saw TONS of Guns N' Roses fans at the Evanescence/VelvetRevolver/Aerosmith show in april this year: lots and lots.

All I am sure is GNR has in Argentina around 60/70.000 people that are gonna go to the show.

A cool venue in Athens, Greece is Karaiskaki Stadium...

http://www.stadia.gr/karaiskaki/karaiskaki.html

Way better than Terravibe (where they played last summer), in the city of Athens (which would draw a bigger crowd) and the company responsible for gigs there actually promotes them...

Not like Didi Music (last year's promoter) who did little to no promotion for last year's gig.

The Olympic Stadium would be huge for such a gig...

http://www.stadia.gr/oaka/oaka-f.html

If they played in my town (Thessaloniki) I'd like to see them at Kleanthis Vikelidis

http://www.stadia.gr/harilaou/harilaou.html

or Kaftanzoglio stadium...

http://www.stadia.gr/kaftanzoglio/kaftanzoglio.html

Here in Vegas, I gotta say seeing them at The Joint was about perfect.   I'd also like to see them play the Pearl Concert Theatre in The Palms.

For they never played in eastern Germany and already cancelled two dates there (Berlin 2001 and Leipzig 2006), I suggest they could play a concert in the beautiful city of Leipzig.

The great composer Johann Sebastian Bach worked and is burried there. It is also the place from wich the demonstrations began that lead to the downfall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. It has a big university and a nice music scene. Lots of great bands played there, from Oasis to Rolling Stones. For it can also be reached in short time over the Autobahn from both Dresden and Berlin, the show would be sold out in two minutes I think.

THE ARENA (indoor) / ZENTRALSTADION (outdoor)

the joint is a great venue, but House of Blues is much better in vegas...

Los Angeles wants you back Axl!
but come to Los Angeles proper

Staples Center
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/83/Staples_Center_panoramic.jpg/800px-Staples_Center_panoramic.jpg)

i would love to see them at the fleet center in boston just cus i live like 10 min from there but  that would? Fucken Rock!!!!!!!!!!



Peace

Wachovia Arena in Pennsylvania, Please?

In Johannesburg, SA, Coca Cola Dome is a 20.000 seater, but if they were hoping to get a stadium sized crowd, then Loftus Stadium in Pretoria is the one to go for....abotu an hours drive from jhb, most major international acts go between those two venues, depending on the size of the crowd they're hoping to attract....

Locomotive Stadium, Sofia, Bulgaria (30.000) - At this place Black Sabbath, Iron Maidon, Depeche Mode and a lot others did great concerts. The other place could be the National Stadium 'Vasil Levski' which can host about 55.000 people. Now that would be great!

by the way, these are the two places I've mentioned:

Luna Park Stadium (15.000+)

(http://www.tele-proyecto.com.ar/semanario/agenda/informacion_general_archivos/Luna_Park.jpg)

River Plate Stadium:

(http://www.u2achtung.com/00/u2005/imagesstades/EstadioRiverPlate.jpg)

Hey Paul!

For me, Staples was always my dream GN'R show, BUT:

The floor is not cool, because they have seats!  Seats on the floor!  That is insane!

Esteban, River Plate would be most amazing.  Argentinian crowds are among the best. 

Staples Center sound isn't really the best so until they improve that i wouldn't be too happy if they chose that venue.

Parken (50.000 +), Denmark or  Forum Horsens (85.000), Denmark

If Gn'R return to the Netherlands with CD in stores I think the Amsterdam Arena (50.000+) could be an option.

(http://www.stadiumguide.com/arena6.jpg)

Without CD the Gelredome could be a good alternative (26.000)...

(http://www.stadiumguide.com/gelredome5.jpg)

Eastern creek raceway, Australia just like they did in 93, Although i doubt they could pull a crowd that big, But who knows after CD comes out?

I would go down their to see it,
I was only 4 years old then, But now, I could go down their to see it ,
Definetly a huge f'kn capacity...

I am also from Cork? : ok:. Croke park and Slane are just too big for gnr without the album. I would give my right arm to have them play the "live at the marque" week in Cork next year, The Who, 50 cent, Faithless, Slayer all played there this year so they should have no problem attracting gnr. Its only a couple thousand people but it would be great to be that close up.

The could play Marley park that around 20,000+, which is a good size for a gig on there own. There always oxygen or the electric picnic but I cant see gnr playing oxygen as it is a very young crowd and the electric picnic might be a bit to laid back to have gnr. Any place in Ireland would be good. ;D

It would be amazing to see Guns N' Roses at Slane once more.

They could manage to play there with or without an album, trust me... Hell, they even "outsold" Metallica at the RDS last year.

Whenever they choose to tour in Europe again, they should (and probably will) go for 25,000+ venues.

Here in Belgium, it would be great to see them at the Roi Baudouin stadium, or even at the festival park in Werchter :yes:

A huge outdoor concert ... :drool:

Slane is 80,000+, as far as I know the RDS didnt sell out, I no people that got there tickets a few hours before the show. Anyway Mountcharles wouldnt take the risk of slane not selling out, he needs the cash, hence the Stones this year. If they did a joint show with AC/DC or something it might happen but on there own without a record released in how many years I cant see it selling out.

I never said that they would sell it out, but they could easily play there and still have a really big crowd.

But I don't see it happening either, I think that they'll choose another place when they choose to come to Ireland again.

We got a nice intimate little venue in our town ...

(http://www.mapseeing.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/windowslivewritermadisonsquaregarden-29fcmapdc08c1289c37.jpg)

My money would be on Marley..I think that place holds over 30,000. I think its a really cool place for a concert. They had no mosh pits either for the who or aerosmith which meant you could just make your way up no matter how late you arrive!

I saw them at the RDS Arena last year. That venue served its purpose just fine! It's not the most modern place but that's not why we go to these concerts is it? It's a nice extra if the venue is special but it's not essential.

ive seen the band in a few different places...twice at MSG though....the MSG shows were def the best arena shows ive seen....but nothing compares to hammerstein last spring

earls court, would be good for indoors.

i hope they play the nottingham arena again, just because i find it has excellent sound quality.

I don?t think GNR could play crock park or slane..Not even with a album to back it up..

"Ruckus Arena", It seats just under 24,000. They played there in June 91.

(http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb259/soliussymbiosus/IMG_0728.jpg)

Down the road, Churchill downs. It can hold 170,000, but for shows, tickets are restricted to 50 or 60,000.

(http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb259/soliussymbiosus/DSC01724.jpg)

although im from Holland i would love to see them play in the Royal Albert Hall (London)
(http://www.flg.co.uk/gallery_pages/images/royal-albert-hall2.jpg)

(http://i21.tinypic.com/izltt0.jpg)

Although GNR has aready played 2 historic shows at this venue and Rock in Rio 2001 (which was not here) I would give my left nut to see this line up play

? Right the fuck here...The Maracana in RIO and i am pretty sure they could fill it.

If they were to come to Scotland again, they'd likely play the SECC like they did last year.  Its not a great venue, but its the larget non-stadium gig in the country, and they couldn't sell out any of the Scottish staidia, except for maybe Easter Road, at a stretch.  Most hard rock/ metal bands play the SECC - I saw Maiden there last year, and VR, Incubus and Rammstien have all played there not long ago.  Still a crap venue, though - the sound is horrendous.

I seriously doubt they'll be able to fill the stadium, but I would love it since it's only a 10 minute walk from my place ;D
but I think I would prefer to see them in a smaller place, where I can actually see the guys from where Im standing, and not just some small dots way in the distance.
do you know the capacity of the stadium btw?

I think they should do a tour of all the professional football, basketball, and baseball arenas in the united states...make a road trip out of it.  take the night before the show off, watch a game (make it in the contract that they get box or floor seats to the game), and then the next night play the concert

They should play the Barrowlands!  I fkn love that venue.  Can you imagine how deaf and pyro-burnt you'd be from seeing GnR there! amazing...

MICHIGAN"S BIG HOUSE!!!!

HBK *

I'd shit a solid brick if GNR were big enough one day to sell out the big house in Ann Arbor!

i agree very much.even though i went to hammersteins in ny.

as someone said.. even though i'm swedish i would love if they shot a DVD at royal albert hall :yes:

What's the capacity of that venue? :o

After seeing Gn'R at the Hammerstein last year, I'd love to see them play the Grand Theatre here in Ontario, Canada:

(http://img370.imageshack.us/img370/5413/grandkn1.jpg)

It's about half the size of the Hammerstein :beer:

Would love to see them do the new Wembley, but never gonna happen I guess

Oh, I wouldn't say that.

The interest for GN'R in the UK last year was pretty huge.

I prefer small joints to large stadiums any day! Unfortunately, you have to go where the bands are to see them. But for Chicago, I have a few picks:

Metro - small
Aragon - small
Vic - small
Double Door - very small
HOB  - great sound
Northerly Island - right on the lake, rocks, great sound, must be in summer
Allstate Arena - best indoor place, they played last tour but noticed a lot of problems with the sound

No sports stadiums because the music doesn't sound as great unless you have equipment to fill it. Saw the Stones at Soldier Field and thought the sound kind of sucked but I also saw a concert at Cell Field and again, sound sucked.

Marcus Amp - Wisconsin - many memories and great shows!

The official capacity is listed as 107501, but that's because they've always had football games there. I don't believe a concert has (or ever will) been held there. I would assume the capacity would be higher in that event though seeing as they'd be using the field for seats as well as the stands.

Thaks for the reply Russtcb.

If no concert has been held there, I'd love for Gn'R to be the first ;D

Ah nice one ked. Ya maybe croker is a bit out of the picture until the album arrives, but its 82,000 minus the hill and nally where the stage would go and then whatever number of people on the pitch. Could easily be around the 90,000 mark.
