GNR rehearsing?

[Tyson]

  With Axl out and about in NYC all the time, where the hell are these guys rehearsing?  Are Axl's bandmates currently in NYC as well?  With only 2 and a half weeks to go before their first performance in nearly 3 and a half years, I'm very curious as to how hard they are rehearsing and how serious this new comback is being taken.  What do you guys think?

The old band always did it without Axl because he wanted to save his voice, I assume its the same with this  band. Axl alluded to this in 2002 when he said Tommy let the rehearsals.

Yea the band (both old and new) plays to a backing track of Axls vocals.  The Tokyo video shows that if you watch the interviews close enough.

Axl never (ok...maybe not never..rarely) reherses.

Axl never (ok....maybe not never...rarely) sound checks.

The band reherses the music (apparently with Tommy leading the rehersals by most accounts).

Axl sings at the warm up shows.

I assume there is some communication between them all, to talk about set list, etc.....

I also think it's a good idea for Axl to be whipping his ass into shape.  Going on tour requires alot of energy.  The better shape he is in, the better frontman he will be.

I wish he would take his perfectionist stance towards his live performance as he does with a studio record

I think its ridculous that axl isn't at the rehearshals.... he should be practising for two hours a day... because if he isn't he is going to have a rude awakening come Hammerstein.... I want him strong and ready not weak and unprepared.

He never has before, why would he now?

[novemberrainx89]

nah, i think he'll rehearse...the whereabouts though i have nooo idea. But then again, the NYC are his how you say uhm.  Practice shows? <_< don't kill me if i'm wrong 
I'm not really sure
But i'm expecting a good show, hopefully he doesn't blow off a concert lol

Axl has been in new york all this time because that where the album is being mastered.

[GunnerOne 84]

I really think he will be ready for these shows. He booked 4 of them, and in NYC, where attention is going to be maximized. If he blows off a show or sucks it up voice-wise, the press will eat him alive. Even if he is not at the rehearsals with the rest of the band, i am sure he is practicing in NYC, even if he is just singing to a recording. Plus it seems he is in much better shape than he was in 02, so he shouldn't get out of breath like he did then.

Maybe he canceled the tour to get into shape?

Come on there is got to be something behind him being there so long. The shows and all that. To me there more to the story here.

A better question is, it's like three weeks until the shows, who the fuck is going to be playing guitar? Is it gonna be Richard & Robin, or is there a third guy in the mix?

[MR W,AXL ROSE]

OK so we have a few axl sightings over the past 5 months,each one being on a night out on the town.so what does he do all the other times when hes not out boozing and partying,exactly,hes rehearsing his lines and singing techniques.dont worry about axl being in shape coz hes looking better now than he did in 2002.hes probebly done quite a bit of practice WITH the band over the past couple of years but we dont hear about that do we.hes also probebly spent sometime with the band lately that we havnt heard about. ? .

and who says the band aint in NY or somewhere near there.

At this time for a new guy to learn the songs in 3 weeks not going to happen. The only thing is if the guy has been in the fold for sometime and we just don't know it yet. OR it could be someone who has play with them before like a gilby or izzy or paul.

I also think some of the guys are in NY. Dizzy was on Sirius last week and Sirius studios are in NYC. Surly him and Axl had to hook up while they were both in the city.

There is no way that the 3rd guitarist is brand new in the last few weeks, or that it's a nobody. It has to be a huge name or it wouldn't be such a secret. And no that doesn't point right at slash.

Though one can hope....
