Wish like hell here was a bootleg of this show.

Maybe the taper stayed at home after reading your posts.
It's a joke!

Probably never even bought a ticket with no guarantee Axl even shows up.

He does that, you know.

He does what?
Don't be so sensitive. It was a joke! After all you were warning people from attending the shows.

After all you were warning people from attending the shows. 

Not really. 

But its your dime, bro.  Have at it.

[D-GenerationX]

Wait a second.  I was trying to remember just what was my offense this time, and I think I recall.

Wasn't it that I said I would never incur travel expenses for such an unpredictable performer?

Well, that's true.  I would not.  He comes to my town, sure.  I'm on it.  But to incur flights, hotels, changes to my schedule, etc?  No way in hell.

I believe it was at this point you got all huffy because, as you saw it, since no shows had been cancelled lately, that was not a realistic fear.

Well, that's your opinion. 

Of course, we don't all get our shit covered to go see this band.  The rest of us have to foot that bill ourselves.

[jarmo]

So maybe the taper didn't go because he got scared after reading your posts!

I traveled on a train from NYC to Portland, ME and then back on a Greyhound from Worcester. Show was canceled. Still wouldn't go on and on about it or the reputation.
By the way, that's in the USA, North America. Not exactly in my home country...

Did you fly over to the US for the express purpose of seeing GNR?  Or was that something you did while you were here?

I'd absolutely go see GNR if its when I happened to be in Vegas, as I will be in 2 weeks.  But I'm not making a special trip for it.

I traveled to USA and then continued to Canada to see GN'R. Of course I used the time there to see things.
Even without the show in Portland, ME, I enjoyed visiting the city.

I've made "special trips" to Vegas with the sole purpose of seeing GNR.  The second they announce another residency, I will be making a third trip.  I have yet to see a better venue for them.  Big enough that they have their space and yet I can get so close and then before and after the concert you have Vegas all around.  Hard to imagine anything better as a fan.   

I don't understand picking on Vegas.

The Joint is a great venue.

Me too. I also have made two special trips to Vegas for the sole purpose of seeing Guns and I do not regret a minute or a penny. In fact, I wish that I could have stayed longer for more shows. I would do it again--and will do it again--in a heart beat.

Correct that--I've made three special trips, and gone to both residencies. Waiting with baited breath for the third.

I personally love travelling to Vegas, from Canada.  Not only to see guns, but just to see the city.  I come down around 4 times a year, as is, without guns playing...

If guns does another slot of shows in Vegas, I would like to see them switch the venue up..

I have seen many bands in many different venues..  From the house of blues, to playing in the middle of a wave pool, to 150000 at the mgm...  Nothing really against the Joint....  It has just been played out for me.

I think it's all about the fact that it's at the Hard Rock. It kinda makes sense.

You can look at it like that.  And it is a very, very nice place.  Especially since the remodels a couple years back.

Personally though, I always stay on the strip.  So travelling to the Hard Rock, is a always a bit of a drag.. 

MB out of all the places, it is what works best for a residency though...  How the whole hotel becomes electric with guns energy running all over.  I like how they theme certain places in the hotel after the band.  It makes for a great experience, one I don't think another hotel would do.  For a residency....

But MB a hotel would..... And if so there is some great venues on the strip..

One of the best concerts I ever saw in Vegas was at the Mandalay Bay Hotel.  It was the band Weezer and they played the concert in the middle of the wave pool on a floating stage.  I stood for 90 mins in the water with waves crashing against my knees, seeing the show.  With bars all around, I never went thirsty.  Such a great show...

There are just many options out there.  The band just doenst have to stick to one, because it works very well..

One of the t-shirts sold at the end of the Las Vegas run:

I'd love to see a new style of t-shirts, that relies less on skulls n stuff.  It doesn't really go with their music so much anymore. Something more minimal.  Like Pearl Jam's style.

Don't be one of the unwashed masses please

Travel to see you fav band.

Spend money to travel to see your fav band. 

If the concert is cancelled.  Have fun in that town that night.    Party. Have fun. 

You are here every day posting    Travel to the band

You would rather post at home for hours instead of travelling. 

Shit. Travelling is cheap.   

My time is not cheap.    Travelling to see gnr shows are some of the highlights of my life.     

I am going to rock in USA in May.    Why gnr doesn't play there blows my mind.

If gnr plays one live show in North America this year I will do my best to get there.   Only reason I wouldn't.   Is two small kids.    Have to make that work

Oh, Rock In Rio.

I saw that line-up when I was out there a few weeks ago.  Looks like a hell of a roster.
