GUNS IN VEGAS!!! CONFIRMED!!!!!

[axlrosegnr]

Hopefully the sound will be bettter this time. I heard it was subpar the last Vegas show.

Was it the acoustics at the joint...or just technical sound board problems, etc..?

The acoustics are great at the joint....ive been to at least 40+ shows there....its what the place was designed for...most of the shows sounded great, some were so-so....yeah, the last time i saw Gn'R there, the music overpowered the vocals

last time i was at the joint the sound was great!!  GNR is probably harder to mix but hope their sound guy has been learning how to do it lately......

The last time I saw GnR at the Joint was the Dec. 29th show, the first of the two shows they did there. That show had a lot of technical difficulties and the overall sound was muddy.  From what I heard, the second show was great, they fixed the problems and rocked the house. 

Now I have to choose wich show to buy tickets for because Im only going to one.

Wich night do you think they will be better.

I think you can count on the band being on their game both nights.

Axl will be well rested and should have no problem delivering back-to-back vocal performances.

I'd say either one, but if I had to pick (I don't, I'm seeing both), I'd see the 2nd.... the only reason being they havent played in over a month and, though they should NOT be, they could be a tad rusty the first night.

If I had to choose i'd pick the first vegas gig because there is a possibility they may bust out a new tune/single!!!

Thats cool man.  I was leaning toward the second night for that same reason. BUT..

The energy level might be off the hook the first night being a sat. night in vegas and the first show in a while. If there are no tech probs then that could be the better show.

I dont know, I have till sat to think about it. thanks man.

Theres a virtual tour of the joint located here:

Looks very cool...Does anyone know if the floor is at an incline?
Im only 5'7 and seems like If Im somewhere in the middle, I may have trouble seeing.

Also if you get up to go to the bathroom or grab a drink, how hard is it to slime your way
back to your spot? (Im thinking Id try for a spot behind one of the rails).

Thanks!

I I remember correctly it is not on an incline. I think there are ramps on the side of the room for wheelchair access. Maybe........


I went to the bathroom twice during the last LV gig and got back in no problem at all.

I got in late and still was able to get fairly close. The place is small, any spot is a great one!

Nope, no incline.

It's a great room, saw The Cult there at the beginning of March and thought the place was very cool.

 First time posting here guys, but have been reading this board daily for the past 4 years!!! I'm from Calgary, AB Canada and was wondering if anyone from here is heading down to the Vegas shows? I went to 4 shows in 02 and there is no way in hell i'm missing this one! Would be great to hear from some of you from Calgary, or even Western Canada for that matter.

[gnr2thebone]

 Do any of you know if all the tickets are GA or are there sections that you can choose from on Ticketmaster? Also for any of you who went to the 01 shows there how easy is it to move to front assuming that the whole place is GA? P.S Can't wait to get my nuts kicked in at this show!!!!!! GNR2THEBONE

Didn't bother to create a new thread, but I'll guess there will be a new 'update-thread' tomorrow...

So, what do you think... any surprises tomorrow, can we hope for a new song? Personally, I hope they'll play Catcher In The Rye! 

[LittleFly]

Personally, I'm expecting a set list much like the most recent shows overseas.  There has been no single or announcement 

Still, I can't wait to see the updates!! Who's gonna be sending them?
