G N' R Play Troubadour Friday, April 1, 2016: Axl, Slash & Duff Reunited

[JAEBALL]

Maybe I'm a sucker but I think it's on tonight.

[pilferk]

As much as I loathe cameras at gigs...someone film some stuff!

Exciting times! 🤘

PERISCOPE The whole damn show!!!

Alternately, skype it to someone who can stream it live on twitch or youtube. Obs super easy to set up!

[pilferk]

Those shirts look fake as hell to me! April Fools even has an apostrophe in it. If the official merchandise has grammar errors I'd be very surprised!

Same font, really, as on gunsnroses.com

what a time to be ALIVE

Haha, I work in quality assurance and can guarantee it could be possible. Surprising for some I guess but in that circus anything can happen

[D-GenerationX]

- This is a warm up show.  Hardly the full monty show you are going to get.  This is like scoring tickets to a preseason football game.

I can only imagine what you'd be like if you had a child..

"This baby is just the WARM UP. Wait till it grows up, who cares about this?!"

Sure, I can't begin to imagine why people would be excited about their favourite band playing a secret show, or wishing they could see it. God for-fucking-bid.

So you didn't understand the post then?

It happens, I suppose.

[pilferk]

You know what would legit make a grown man cry? Legit tears of joy and wonderment?

If Nightrain members got the Presser and show streamed live via the site.

I know, I know....unlikely. But....I'm just sayin.

so if this really happens, Chris Pitman was 300% right about money grab tour.
1. Coachella announced - everybody started buying tickets at insane prices, just to see their first "reunion" tour.
2. Vegas announced and all that repeated
3. now this again
that is, squeezing out all possible money goes better than expected

[Dr. Blutarsky]

There are a few more possibilities, could all be a ruse and watch them end up playing somewhere completely different in the LA area as its April Fools Day.

Clearly a small gig like this would be for the fans...friends, and family....not to profit.  Troubadour holds 500 people, I bet G N' R are losing money on this show after they pay everyone involved, etc.

They would have sold out Vegas and Coachella regardless, so your theory makes no sense.

ahhh disagree they would sell regardless and when is it NOT about making money?!?! I'm sure all of us on this board wouldn't do it for the "love". Anyway its gonna be fun

Going to see any show in Vegas is not cheap. Rod Stewart, Elton John, and Celine Dion are the same, or even more expensive

Any poster who knocks this as a money grab are the same posters who want to see Dj Ashba play Sweet Child O Mine because that is fresh and not nostalgia !... as the great Chris Mad Dog Russo would say..

IT MAKES NO SENSEEEEEEEEEEEEEE MICHAELLLLL

They should sell tickets and t shirts for as much as people will pay for them. This is America goddammit. Capitalism!

and btw those t shirts can't be fake... otherwise somebody has way too much time on their hands to photoshop those pictures!

Maybe you shouldn't enable opinions like this. Coachella is a festival anyway, GnR didn't sell it out, Guns + everyone else on the bill did.

you still don't get my point.

[AXL DEMOCRACY]

Exciting stuff. Friend of mine said about hundred people on line at Tower and Fernando is there giving out pizza! Very cool of him.

The pictures aren't fake, but I'd say the t-shirts are bootlegs. No way would they make silly grammar mistakes on official stuff!

[pilferk]

I think that picture pretty much sows this up, right? No longer "rumor".  That pic isn't photo shopped.  This is happening.
