Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke!


« on: April 06, 2016, 12:51:12 AM »

What are you expecting from these shows, this lineup? Personally, I'm setting the bar pretty fucking high. I'm so glad they didn't just put together a nostalgia lineup (Gilby? Matt?). The fact that they kept Frank and, especially, Richard has me excited about the band musically. I expect this lineup to bring it, and bring it BIG. I know the excitement and the energy will be there. I want them to show the world that they are back, and that the new guys rock, and they're ready to kick ass and take names. I am so fucking excited about the show on Friday!!!

Use Your Illusion I (1991)

I'm expecting a more epic, and fleshed out set, with more room and a bigger crowd etc.

22-24 songs.

Should be incredible. Gunning for "This I Love"

Chinese Democracy out 2014!


« Reply #4 on: April 06, 2016, 01:35:20 AM »

I think they might be a little more relaxed already. Not that there seemed to be any tensions at Troubadour, but I'm just assuming that the first gig was faster and more compact than what we might see later this year.

And this!

Its something different and will be a big surprise


« Reply #5 on: April 06, 2016, 09:20:46 AM »

I am hoping for a show similar to RIR 3 where Axl and the band kind of take there time and deliver an epic performance.

Also hoping Axl and the band talk a little more at these shows about the band etc. They should treat this like a GnR convention. 90-95% of the building is the hardcore fan base.

But ultimately, if they play a 3 hr monster set each night that would be great!

I can't wait for this weekend!  We know probably 90% of the setlist, so I'm not too concerned about what they play...a little variation between nights would be nice but whatever.  I'm really interested to see their interactions, Axl's ad-lib conversations with the crowd, and what (if any) surprises they have in store. 

On a side note, I am this close to forgiving my parents who forbid a then 10 year old Ginger King from going to a Guns n Roses concert in 1988.  I never thought I would get the chance to see Axl, Slash and Duff on the same stage.

I am hoping to live vicariously through others who are going to the show - by reading up on tonnes of amazing reviews and seeing some awesome pictures and videos. I think/know it will be an epic night. I am looking forward to articles in newspapers, magazines, online following the show. I hope the show will trends on twitter and facebook. Following the tour dates, I hope some new material will finally be released!

Hahaha

I already told my Mom that her probation is still ongoing until they hit the stage on 7/14/2016.

Mom did 25 years, 25 hard years, on the outs with me on this point.

I had a similar experience when my dad, having had a few beers, promised to take me to a GNR show in the 90s when I was a kid. My mom, of course, when I told her about it, forbade me from going and promised something more appropriate for a little girl...and that has never happened either. I blame her since then. Hahaha.

What's our best guess when they might hit the stage? You know for those of us who need to set an alarm for live text and nowadays, of course, Periscope. I just hope that it won't crash. I heard of an event, which 60,000 were following and then Periscope crashed.

Safe to wake up at 10pm and then it shouldn't be too long a wait. Or is that just way too early?

I think that is your best case scenario.

That such a weird town because its a 24 hour town.  You might sell an 11PM start in Las Vegas.

Its on these stadium in a few months that shit has to end.  He best be out there by 10:30, tops.  I hope its more 10PM.
