Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Well, it is finally over.  Fans worldwide got an oppurtunity to see Axl and the boys in a smaller venue, multiple times.   In addition, everyone had a great excuse to take some time out of their daily lives and had to wonderful Las Vegas.  I look back at the two shows I went to and just reflect on how much fun I had.  At the end of the day, that is really what it is all about.  I just wanted to create a thread to show support for a follow up residency.  I would be glad to return in 2013 for sure.  I think this is something special.  I also think it helps build the relationship of the fans and the band.  I.E. you say hi to them as everyone is wondering about the Hard Rock during the day.  Yes, this was something special and from my stand point, a huge success.  I just was to drum up interest for 2013!!!

I loved the residency! Soooo glad I finally got to hear TWAT twice when I went which made it worth it right there. Ovation Hall at the Revel in Atlantic City has been getting a lot of big acts there. Would love to see them play a handful of shows 3, or 4 there!

But overall so fortunate to see the band 4 times this year !!!!

If GNR did a Residency in Atlantic City it would be very bad for my employer and family!!!   : ok:

looks like these things are going to be pretty common as def leppard has one next year

Ditto!
 :yes:

I think AEG, Hard Rock,and GNR had a really successful residency, sounds like the band enjoyed the change of pace and the days off, but it must have been funny seeing band members in the casino, even if there were no Axl sightings.

there were definately Axl sightings...obviously not as many as the other members...seems like Dj practically lived at the bar/casino, which is awesome of him to hang out with the fans so often. But Axl definitely spent some time down there as well.

Just let me know when and where - I'll be there.  I've planned three trips this past year around going to see Guns!  I'm officially obsessed! :yes:   But - yeah this residency was by far the most fun.

It'd be awesome if they did one in Miami FL...my hometown! Or anywhere on the East Coast of Florida. I missed them last year due to longterm illness.  ??? >:( I'd love to see my first show EVER!

I would LOVE a GN'R Vegas Residency every year. Vegas is easily my favorite city on Earth and I try to get there at least once a year. Seeing my favorite band there this year was a trip!

When I got a chance to talk to Fernando last weekend, I asked that hopefully there's another residency down the road and he told me that New York, Brazil and Europe and interested in having one but who knows when it will happen. Either way I'll be at the shows when the time does come :D

Oh yes, a residency in London, Paris or New York will do me just fine.  ;D

Or another show at the Chicago House of Blues! :beer:

Good sign that it'll happen again, esp. with this going as well as it did.

Hopefully there's new music in the works next year.

My question too.  The guys were together for a month, in one place, any progress made towards new music?

Looks like you guys are looking to get yelled at by Beta  :hihi:

New music?

people want that?  ;D



im all for a residency in new york !!!!

i dont know if 12 shows in a row would sell all that well... but thats certainly just a guess , vegas was a blast for the two nights i was there

lets hope

Beta's not going to yell at us for looking forward to more from our favorite band. 

The woman just spent a month in Vegas with the band and crew......... ;)  She's doing a great job!

 :hihi: I wasn't questioning where she's been or what she's done. I was making a joke.

I am not saying another word on that subject.  :hihi:

It occurs to me, after 3 weeks of Christmas music, we haven't had a new Christmas carol in a long time.  Maybe we can get DJ on that.

Just seems to me that the quickest way to get Beta to yell at a user it to ask about new music :)

Well I'll do it!  As much as I love GnR live, I would really love for them to get in the studio and make some music.  As long as they are touring, theres little time to make new music, correct? 

I was in Vegas this past weekend and did not attend a show.  Not because I don't like GnR, but because I've seen this show 3 times already in the last year, and 5 other times in past years.  To me, the show is great, buts its essentially the same thing.  Adding Estranged, Civil War, There Was A Time and a couple others have been great, but i would like to see them move on now to a much broader set with SOME old stuff, Chinese, and new music.  Axl can keep touring if he wants, playing the same music, making money, and no doubt doing what he loves....that's his choice.  I'm just saying, new music would be great, and in my mind, it's what keeps bands relevant.

I don't understand that.  Asking for and anticipating new music is a compliment.  It means you like the band.  There are plenty of bands out there I hope to never hear another note from.  And I'm sure there are many bands who wished people would ask them for new music.  I don't see it as pestering the band, I see it as cheering them on.

People, from what I've seen is Beta yells at people who start rumors about what they think or hear or she gets mad at people who act like there insiders, like they have some inside source and they know something and start spreading the BS around. I've seen her get mad at people for using derogatory language about the band and/or Axl on the new music subject. All these things I think she has a right to voice her opinion, she's just being a mama bear to the band. If she yells at you and you think your right then stand up and say so but everybody backs down because they know she's right. And yes, we should want new music from the band but demanding it or expecting something that's not realistic and being an asshole about it will get you....... well we know what will happen. :nervous:

I just think its laughable that the people take it as an insult or being disrespectful for wanting / asking for new material from Axl and the current roster of his band...

We all love going to the shows...but im sorry for wanting more than that

i know i know... we are not owed anything... but that doesnt mean we shouldnt want it

Axl has all these songs.... its his right and decision to release them....

but as a fan... i want him to release them....

i dont know why that would upset any member of management ... that their fans want the product....ha

Because we should just shut up and be happy with what we got, and stop asking for what we didn't get....  :rofl: : ok:

In Axl we trust.  If it isn't Axl's vision, I don't care for it.   : ok:

I live in Jacksonville and wanted to see them at the house of blues but I couldn't drive back to Jax at 3 in the morning.

We left Strugis at 3 in the morning and let me tell you they don't call them the black hills for nothing.  It was dark out there.  Good thing I was coming from a GNR concert.  I was still buzzing.

I hear ya there. I did a couple over night drives back to Detroit during the last GN'R tour. One was from Chicago which wasn't so bad because most of the highway is pretty populated plus I had a fellow user from gnrevolution with me for over half the trip.

The other was from Youngstown back to Detroit and I only had my fiancee with me in the car and she passed out pretty quickly. The drive from the far east side of Ohio back to Detroit at like 3 or 4 in the morning was very eerie!! The buzz from the concert carried me a good way, but I gotta tell ya, many sections of the highway looked like something straight out of a horror flick  :hihi:

I drove 4 hours back to Miami after the 2011 Orlando show..you could have done it!!

Both Orlando shows and both Miami shows were great. Vegas was amazing as well so i would love for them to do another residency somewhere on the east coast.

And it was so worth the drive! Still can't believe I got too see GNR in my favorite place in the whole world.

Love GNR road trips.  I still want to go to Red Rocks.  And you know where it is!  :smoking:  It's the principal of the thing.  It's democracy.  It's time to make a stand!

It would be interesting  to see if another country or city would get a residency next year in 2013.

For example London, Tokyo, New York, San Paulo/Rio or Sydney could be possible locations. I have always wanted to know the logistics of touring/merchandising for bands for turnover and operation costs. I would like to know how it worked out as a business model for GNR doing these Vegas Residency versus the US tour. Can`t be cheap for a band that size moving it stage set up and rigg over a large country.

Personally I hope they do both. If an album is Imminent I am sure another world tour is planned. If not 2013 could be good to do residencies and prepare and plan the next album.

Still holding out hope for a residency on Florida's east coast, as traveling for me is hella difficult (logistics for far travel in a wheelchair can be hell). I'd LOVE to see that first GnR concert I have heard is so magical :-)

I would love a Toronto residency :)  : ok:

I concur :beer:
