putting the new shows first is fucked up in my book

[oneway23]

Axl's not blowing off any shows... in case you can't tell this was planned.

Not for anything, but wasn't the 2002 tour planned as well?

[speed_stone]

God you guys are such crybabies..When did GNR say the 15th would be their first show?? what about the people in Rio who thought it would be the first..what about Philly, they have reason to bitch.. You just (stupidly) assumed it'd be the first... Deal with it, enjoy the show and shut the fuck up!!

lol @ people flying in to lisbon from other countries because they thought they'd be catching the first show

[BurningHills]

Well, you can argue that they never said the 15th wasn't the first show, either. It works both ways. Like I said, I don't care about that as much as making sure Axl shows up. That's my main concern for the 15th. Yes, it was all planned, obviously, but that hasn't made the difference in the past.

And I was at the Philly show, so I have earned the right to be skeptical!

Yes...really stupid to assume it was the first show considering that it was the 1st show as of this morning....when they went on sale....

something was fishy about the 2002 tour, it seemed that it was never well received, always on shaky legs, axl wasnt confident about CD coming out ... those are the vibes i picked up. ?now im getting a different vibe, everything that fortus said so far has been true ie tour in 06, tommy and dizzy never got anything right.....so the dates are a surpise to us, but not to management or axl, we were shocked when the first added the 15th and 17th, now we re shocked again in a different way, bottom line is we believe in gnr in 03,04,05 when nothing was goign on. now theres alot of action, lets have alittle faith and its not like we ll be waiting for the unknown, the 15th show is in 25 days, thats nothing ... i believe it will happen, but we just have to wait and see

[BurningHills]

See, that's the thing. It shouldn't be a game of holding your breath until the band hits the stage, and as much as I love the band and support this band (Hey, I kept the faith after Philly - do you know how hard that was to do?) that's the one thing that drives me up a fucking wall - why must there be an uncertainty as to whether the band will play or not? Does any other band have these kinds of issues? Look at the stones, these guys are 20 years older than Axl and honor all of their concert dates..with GN'R its a crapshoot, always has been and always will be.

If the show on the 15th does get axed, I better find out before I make the 2 1/2 hour ride to New York.

You know better...I was in Philly...we won't know until chairs start flying...

im trekking up too, however i have family up around ny, but it would certaintly be convienent if we were to find out it was canned before we got there, but it doesnt always work that way

[BurningHills]

Too true my man - too true.

[BurningHills]

Yeah, I have family in Binghampton as does my girlfriend, but I doubt either one of them would want me and my friend dropping by at 3 AM looking for shelter! 

[jazjme]

I dunno, but back in 91 I saw back to back GNR shows at MSG, DEC 9th , 10th...........wasnt a prob.

i ve been saying all along, if this version of gnr wants to be taken seriously, they need to perform as a band thats hungry, bc this line up hasnt really given the fans anything to cheer about, their most memorable performance was followed by a no show and cancellation, so they need to step out and sweep these 4 dates in ny

[punxnotdead]

If your pissed off and want to sell your tickets for the 15th or 17th let me know. I need 1 pair, I don't care what section. Please...

[BurningHills]

lol, i don't think anyone is ready to sell their tickets yet..we're just a bit suspicious as to how this is all going to play out now, is all! 

[GnR-NOW]

i hope for those of us who have tickets on the 15th, dont have to become part of that thread that was for people who were so close to seeing gnr but for whatever reason it never happened

[BurningHills]

I hear you man - been there/done that once already and I don't want history to repeat itself!

[GnR-NOW]

any other band back to back wouldnt be an issue, but everythings an issue with gnr, maybe its why we support them so much, who knows


im also going to stay away from any sites during that weekend, so everything will be a surprise when i go, the setlist , new member? .. everything ... even if they show lol

[BurningHills]

I'm still skeptical about these new dates, honestly. Ticketmaster still has no mention of them yet, and the new pre-sale password came from a different address than the other shows. Who knows.

If Axl doesn't show on the 15th, I'm through with this band for good.

[JennaSide]

If I don't get tickets to any of the other shows, I'm not sure I could wait until the 17th to be surprised! I'd want to, but ultimately curiosity would get the better of me

[GnR-NOW]

i didnt even get a new email concerning the new dates, but it doesnt matter, i cant really afford to buy two more tickets, so its the 15th or bust. ?like i said earlier though, these dates are a suprised to us, not axl or the band
