[rebelhipi]

i hope we will get a real quality video in a couple weeks

[gnr-4-ever]

Too bad there's no livestream, hopefully we get new HD pro shot material soon.

Whoever is going to the show tonight - have fun!

[Alan]

I leave for London in a couple of hours, I've always enjoyed London shows, they just seem to have something more going on than other shows.

That's a shame least everyone can view it as intended rather than a YouTube rip

I actually think this is good news! some editing, better video and sound quality etc...

[Ericnor]

I don't get the phrase "high demand for delayed viewing".
Has there been critical voices against the live stream, and complaints that the shows should not air live?

In my opinion they should have done both the live stream, and a delayed viewing.

Was looking forward to seeing the show live, not knowing which setlist, what rants, solos, guest appearences? etc....

It will still be cool to see a pro shot later, but for us fans, it will (to me anyways)be kinda like seeing the champion league final in football the day after, when the result is already in... some of the excitement will be gone.

[new gnr fan]

Maybe a new live DVD?

True - but you can just avoid the thread for tonight's show and searching youtube a lot easier that avoiding news about a championship game!

[adamsv1999]

So the band has found yet another way to disappoint their fans!

Yeah, I could, but the quality there is far from what I expected to be seeing tonight. Still different to follow a show live too, so will probably have a problem to stay away from the updates later anyways

Fuck, what a wanker.  I'd guess there's gonna be 15,000 ish that aren't gonna share that point of view.  Shit happens, get over it....

oh that sucks 

This sucks big time!   

I'm certainly not angry about this ... just really really really disappointed. 

I understand it's business.  And if, as the e-mail states, there's a "high demand for delayed viewing" then I guess Spock was right and the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or the one.

But why the fuck does "the one" always have to be me!!!! 
I was really really really looking forward to the LIVE stream.  And now I guess I'm going to shell out way more than $4.99 to purchase something that I know I'm never actually going to watch (but I'm a sucker and a fan and want to own more useless crap because I'm always the one that doesn't have all the cool useless crap that everyone else does).

As the saying goes ... Oh fuckin well 

P.S. Thanks for listening to me vent and feel sorry for myself!   

P.P.S.  Looking forward to tonight's show's updates and pics and stuff!!! 

[samoice]

omg why are they playing Myles on vocals paradise city???

[One.In.A.Million]

All who are going to these 2 02 shows, have a fuckin ball...

I was planning on going to both as well, but couldn't get the time off work, damn. But I'm back on the tour for the Rotterdam and Paris shows, can't wait, should be fun.

So....let me get this right. You are bitching that instead of watching a HD live stream which, in a perfect world, sounds AWESOME - you get a perfect HD live recording a little while later?


Even on the best servers/streams such as YouTube/Coachella/Rock in Rio there was choppy picture, sound glitches, etc.
Now we will have a professional HD mix with no fuck ups and mistakes due to servers and high demand?


I am going to politely ask you sir to get the fuck out and not let the door hit you on the ass on the way out.

[wadey]

i hope everyone has a fuckin' blast at tonights show 

Manchester was awesome and hopefully the band will be on fire again

Why do you have a problem with him being dissapointed? What's the big deal? I'm dissapointed too. I wanted to see a stream and now I'm not...not a big deal either way but people are allowed to point it out and GNR has a tendancy to dissapoint fans quite a lot. Doesn't make me or him any less fans of the band. It makes us honest and not living in a dream world.
