Hey, this news is all very exciting. It's something we never thought we'd see.

But you know what I hope for more than anything as a fan? I hope that there is a catharsis for the old band on a personal level. Harboring feelings of resentment or hate is unhealthy. I say this without any understanding as to what happened when these guys parted ways, but I hope this means there has been forgiveness and that it's a good thing for their emotional well being.

I hope this reunion is an outward sign of some inward happiness for these guys I've idolized since I was a teenager. They've provided me a lot of joy through the years, and I think they deserve some as well.

Jarmo do you know how much time it took for the tickets to sell out? Some fan sites in Brazil are reporting something like less than an hour!

I heard 30 minutes

Coachella tweeted that the tickets were on sale at 8:00 PM (my local time) and then thank you at 8:59 PM. So definitely less than an hour.

I found buying a hotel package 8.6 miles from the venue did the trick... One man going two tickets flying! Over time here I come ...

I don't really get how some people (few though they be) can be upset that someone they respect has managed to get over a grudge with someone he used to be close with. 

As has been said, when the classic band imploded it was in a situation where Duff was an alcoholic (burst pancreas, anyone?), Slash was a drug addict and Axl's mental health was in a poor state (with bipolar disorder).  Matt had problems with drink and drugs.  Steven was sacked from Guns N' Roses (from Guns N' Roses!) because he took too many drugs and could not get his shit together.  How fucked up do you have to be for Guns N' Roses to decide it's too much to deal with?  I read an interview with Izzy some years back - he said that when he filled in for Gilby during the UYI tour, he didn't even bother to say goodbye when he left, because the others were so whacked out on drink, drugs, medication and paranoia that they hardly knew he was there at all.  And this was going on for years.  For all the fame and money, that sounds like a pretty fucking unbearable situation to be in.  All the stories of wild, youthful rock n' roll excess may look fun from the outside, but you can bet it all gets pretty loathsome. 

Have any of you had anyone in your life, someone you care about - a friend, a brother, a partner, whoever - who had some kind of addiction, or some kind of serious mental health condition?  If you haven't, take it from me, it can be pretty hellish.  However much you love them, it is fucking exhausting.  They say and do terrible things, often barely in control of themselves, often hating themselves for doing it.  It can be hard not to hate them back. 

So you need to bear that in mind when pulling up quotations from band members from however many years ago.  You should never speculate about other people's mental health, but the fact is that we simply don't know what kind of place any of these guys were in when they said some of the things that have been said.  Add to all that the lawsuits, the need to prove that they could make it without the other guy (Lennon and McCartney had a similar thing in the 1970s)... it all gets out of hand.  And we should be glad, shouldn't we, that they've gotten past that?  Why should we prefer that people who used to be such close, close friends should live in bitterness and estrangement for the rest of their lives?  Why should the mistakes, regrets and bad choices of men in their twenties rule those men decades later?  Should we not rather be glad that now, older, wiser, sober, healthier and against all odds all still alive, they can get together and rock again?  That they (and we) can relive, in part, the good ol' days, but without all the bullshit that turned it sour?

And even if this is a cash grab, even if they aren't really bosom buddies and are doing this as a cynical top-up to their rock-star pension funds, so what?  It's their music, they've earned the right to make a buck from it, haven't they?

Wrong- You need to check your facts, Axl does not have Bipolar disorder he mentioned it in the 2008 chats.

Axl:
?I?ve not been diagnosed as being bipolar though many misconstrue statements I made earlier as alluding to such and unfortunately there?s been an abundance of misguided or unqualified speculation of various events, but I definitely can relate to needing my own space,".

?In my world, all bipolar means (and not to offend or make light of those suffering from a genuine condition or involved with those who are) is that someone can try to take cheap uneducated shots or try to claim I?m bipolar thus justifying why they should get paid a financial settlement for whatever nonsense they?re up to.?

I stand corrected.  But was there really any need for that confrontational response? 

[EmilyGNR]

Some of the misinformation and the outright lies are repeated so much, it's very aggravating to those that know the truth.

[matty29]

I stand corrected.  But was there really any need for that confrontational response? 

No, there wasnt.

[EmilyGNR]

No, there wasnt.

Don't think he was asking you

And- it gets very tiring seeing the same lies told year after year. Misinformation repeated as if it were fact.

Tickets sell out for Guns N' Roses Coachella

By Afp

Published: 00:11 GMT, 7 January 2016 | Updated: 00:12 GMT, 7 January 2016


Los Angeles (AFP) - Tickets quickly sold out Wednesday for the Coachella music festival where hard rockers Guns N' Roses will reunite after more than two decades.

Passes for the three-day festival in the southern California desert went on sale online at 11 am (1900 GMT) and one hour later Coachella social media accounts said that all tickets were gone.

Coachella, which has become one of the world's best-known festivals, draws more than 180,000 people a year over two consecutive three-day weekends with identical lineups.

Guns N' Roses, whose 1987 album "Appetite for Destruction" remains the top-selling US debut ever, are scheduled as headliners on the two Saturdays -- April 16 and April 23.

The festival will mark the first time that singer Axl Rose and guitarist Slash play together since 1993 when they ended a tour in Argentina amid personality disputes.

Other prominent acts at Coachella this year will include LCD Soundsystem, the influential New York electronic band from the 2000s that is also reuniting, as well as pioneering gangsta rapper Ice Cube and singers Ellie Goulding and Sia.
