VELVET REVOLVER Confirm ALICE IN CHAINS Tour

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

Maybe they haven't figured out a way to profit from the shows and are looking at other options.

Heh, I got free tix for the VIP section at the VR/AIC show I'm going to. Talk about dumb luck, eh?

Thanks Jarmo..Thats an amazing price, i payed $250 for Nickelback and donrt get to meet them

[Grouse]

I usually hate those fanclub deals but this one looks pretty sweet. If I lived? in the States I think I'd actually become a member...

[w.axl.rose]

hell yeah when vr comes back to LA im gonna get that slash package   

[guns_n_motley]

no offence, but 300 to meet slash?? seems kinda pricey. what happened to waiting near the tour busses till the band came out?

actually I think its pretty cool.  much less hectic then bugging him for a picture outside of his tour bus when he wants to relax.   

its an opportunity for someone who wants to meet slash bad enough and have a pretty cool experience.   

[Malcolm]

Has anyone heard or want to speculate as to how long each band will play for?

[w.axl.rose]

my guess is AIC will have a 90 minuet set while VR will get a 120 minuet set

[freedom78]

my guess is AIC will have a 90 minuet set while VR will get a 120 minuet set

Why would the band with one album get a two hour set?  AIC has five albums of material! 

[Tank]

When some of you guys get your tickets in the presale tomorrow you wanna post here to let the rest of us know if its gonna be GA or reserved and about how much the tickets are?

[w.axl.rose]

my guess is AIC will have a 90 minuet set while VR will get a 120 minuet set

Why would the band with one album get a two hour set?  AIC has five albums of material! 

because VR are the headliners?

Hmm...I read both articles, and nowhere does it say VR are the headliners or that AIC are not.  Seems like more of a dual headliner show to me.       

[monkeychow]

That meet and greet thing is way cool...hope they do that kind of thing when they come back down under.

[Malcolm]

I got the VIP  package to meet Slash for the Toronto gig, Third row seats and by the way its reserved seating, no pit which I like..Anyways im so excited I get to meet him..Should be great
