I don't have channel 41 on Sirius XM.  It skips from 39 to 42.

You probably have one of the "Family Friendly" subscription plans. 

Those plans eliminate those channels, because they can have naughty words.

I was thinking based on the other hash tags it seems like she may just be congratulating the NITL line up for the tour, and the Appetite line up for the 30th anniversary.

BUT nice catch, I really enjoy when things go into full on investigation mode, trying to decipher little clues along the way.

How's the venue if they did some cool acoustic stuff?

The Stern channels are ALSO not part of the Family Friendly packages.

That being said: The family friendly packages....yeah, they're the EXACT same price as the non-family friendly versions.  All you have to do is go in and change your sub plan. Shouldn't cost you a thing.  I just did this for my wife's vans sub, so we could get GnR Radio there (since she usually has the kiddos, we picked Family Friendly) awhile back.  Took me about 5 minutes and a signal refresh.

How's the venue if they did some cool acoustic stuff?

It's pretty amazing, both from an architectural and historic standpoint.

The acoustics are REALLY good, but I think hold up better to "jazzy/bluesy" harmonics than to straight rock (like Metallica).  Guns material fits the bluesy bill, but we'll see how it goes with their percussion mix.  Drums have a way of being overwhelming in the space, sometimes. Heavy distortion effects, too, can be a little overpowering...but that's not a real Guns staple, so...  I have to say: I can't wait to hear the SCOM "wah wah" bounce off those walls. It might be akin to a cosmic experience.

IDK what Guns will use for a sound setup, but the Apollo has a pretty impressive d&b system for in house sound.  I think it's a V series, as the sound is very warm, but not as "bright" as some modern systems (again, perfect for Appetite tracks, especially....but maybe a TINY bit less so for some of the UYI/CD material). It'll be interesting to see if Guns sticks with the in house, or brings in their own rig.

The only real issue, in the whole house, is the 1st balcony. It's a narrow slot, and the sound in there can be pretty muted, especially the further back in that balcony you move.  The sound system does it's best to accommodate, I think, but NOTHING can really solve that problem.  It's an old theater that wasn't really built for modern music acts....more for variety/vaudville/stage content.

It's every week with these freaking guys...

[izzyjim]

Thinking about it, since there was no time for rehearsals, the only Izzy/Adler scenario I can think of is a guest spots for couple of songs.

GNR Sudamerica has set up a stream of the channel on youtube.

Hope this helps non-US listeners.

I know this is a long shot...If anybody does have an extra ticket or one they'd like to sell...please message me... I'll pay BIG...

I can meet at the venue around 930

or if anybody from the band could help a brother out....

Check in starts (I think) at 7 PM and you have to be IN YOUR SEATS by 8:30. They won't check anyone in after 8...if you're not there, you're not in.  Because this is being broadcast, they're pretty strict about these guidelines (or they have been for the Sirius Shows I've attended in the past).

So....don't paypal anyone telling you to meet them at the venue by 9:30.

Well I doubt I could have gotten my hands on anything... but thanks for the heads up!

Why is that a problem unless you make one. Perfect time to sleep before or after. American sports is hard to follow when the games start at 3am or similar.
