Well..then..I guess we can't discuss it. Given your stated inability.

Well put Ginger. However I don?t think DJ will be there. He made it clear he will be on tour with Sixx A.M. and making albums with them.
P.S. pilferk knock it off with the title change. It has already been changed. If it took DJ all these years to figure out he was better off playing his own songs instead of somebody else?s well that?s his problem.
It was changed by jarmo ..and then changed again by the OP...to, again, inaccurately reflect the entirety of what was actually said.
I just don't get why, if we're going with the quote, we can't include the last..what..4 words? Would they not fit in the subject line?
Actually it wouldn't fit in the subject line due to character limit.

Thank you for actually answering the question!!
Fair enough.

And Axl has two new employees....Slash and Duff! Key word being employee....could have cut to the chase in 1996 and things may have been different.
Call me crazy... Axl may have had to invite them back...but I don't think for one second he is making a bigger piece of the pie on these ticket sales than Slash and Duff....
Axl was playing the joint a couple years ago to a few thousand a night in Vegas...
Slash comes back and they sold out 20k for two nights in 10 minutes...Slash is going to take a salary per show like Richard will? ehhhh
It has no affect on my enjoyment of it...but as a fan I am curious as to how all the backstage stuff will work and the business side of things.
They sold 40k in 10 minutes?? I didn't know they were both sold out.
Will having Slash and Duff back increase the attendance? Of course. But to compare this situation to playing the Joint is silly. You make it sound like GNR were forced to play a smaller venue and that they could only draw 2k. I would argue that if GNR of the last 10 years played at this new Vegas venue, they would get 10-12k if not more. So yeah, Slash and Duff bring in more people. Makes sense to me. But Slash doesn't take it from 2k-20k. I would say having those three on stage about doubles attendance. But remember, the Vegas shows are the first shows listed with the return of Slash and Duff. These first shows will sell better than most because they are....the first ones.
I saw GNR in 2011 at the Izod Arena in the Meadowlands. My date and I sat in the 200s. The place was far from a sell out. There were plenty of empty seats. Now that the three of them are back together, you can most definitely be sure that MetLife, Prudential Center, Madison Square Garden, Yankee Stadium, Citifield, and the Barclays will all have sellouts.

Yes guys, the addition of Slash and Duff make this thing big. BUT, it's the THREE of them being together. If Slash and Duff were in Guns N Roses without Axl, I'm sure it would be very similar to GNR of the last 10-15 years without them. Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but some of you make it seem like Slash and even Duff are the sole reasons why GNR is so popular right now, and sold out Vegas so quickly. If that were the case, VR would have been a big deal

If Slash and Duff were in Guns N Roses without Axl, they would probably gain as much attention and sell as much as GNR without these two did. Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but some of you make it seem like Slash and even Duff are the sole reasons why GNR is so popular right now, and sold out Vegas so quickly.
It's the combo of all 3 that make it a game changer. For every "up close and personal tour" or wedding the prior Guns lineup did, Slash was playing carnivals and opening for Def Leppard. Duff was writing a weekly column for the Seattle Weekly. Their sum has been (and always will be) greater than their parts.

No not the sole reason obviously.. like Ginger pointed out... Slash plays theaters with the Conspirators and opened for Aerosmith and other bands over the years.
However the ADDITION of Slash and to a lesser extent Duff back to GNR is the difference in what they can sell and charge for tickets.
Together they make this huge.

As a lifelong Yankee fan... GNR in the Bronx would be fucking cool! Metallica played there a few years back... I think. Any of those places will be sell outs for at least one time.
