Ready2CrashandBurn Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 (edited) Who plans on attending this show? I know I will be, but I'm curious to see what kind of response there will be in Philly. Philly was skipped in 2006, and we all know about the 2002 incident, so I know there are mixed feelings in the city, especially with Pierre Robert bashing Axl everyday lol. Also if anyone can help a brotha out with the pre-sale for tomorrow, it would be greatly appreciated. The Pit at the susquehanna center is small and intimate, and they don't overcrowd it. It will be an awesome spot to see the show.*gunsguy edit:*SETLISTDexter IntroChinese DemocracyWelcome To The JungleIt's So EasyMr. BrownstoneSorryShackler's RevengeEstrangedRocket QueenRichard Fortus Guitar Solo (James Bond Theme)Live and Let Die (Paul McCartney & Wings cover)This I LoveSonic Reducer (Dead Boys cover) (Tommy Stinson on lead vocals)Dizzy Reed Piano Solo (Baba O'Riley)Street Of DreamsYou Could Be MineDJ Ashba Guitar Solo (Mi Amor)Sweet Child O' MineInstrumental Jam (Another Brick in the Wall Pt.

Philly Guns Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I will def be going to the show. Everyone here has been killin Axl since news came out about GNR coming back to the area. So unless there is a killer opening act, I could definitely see a poor turn out for the show, which is ashame. People should move on, but ya can't blame em for feeling this way, and Philly is the wrong town to pull a no show on, we never forget lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAxlMorrison Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I haven't heard anything negative at all, and I have been listening to WMMR nonstop trying to win tickets since, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) Pit tickets aren't available for the presale for this show, I guess.Saturday it is, then!EDIT: Pit tickets are $112 dollars?! I'm holding off on this show, then. Hopefully Philly or NYC get announced. Edited September 29, 2011 by Black Sabbath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedilips Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Pit tickets were available this morning at 10. I got a pair, then decided I wanted to try to be more center-oriented and back a few and scored a pair in section 102. I guess the Pit sold out shortly after I got mine.

Philly Guns Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Just got my tix, section 202 in the center, close to an aisle just in case of a riot, need that quick escape. My gf is coming with, and she worked at the first union center in Philly that night when the riot happened, so she is a little doubtful Axl will show up again lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I guess the PIT tickets for this show sold out... I'm surprised at that seeing as how they were $115 a piece. I was still considering going, as well, but oh well, I'm going to East Rutherford. Thinking about Albany since the tickets are so cheap, but it's a 6 hour drive for me.

uzi your illusion Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Was holding out for an MSG show, but I'm going to DC the week of thanksgiving and its only a couple hours drive to Camden so this might be the best option. Hopefully by this time Axl will be in top form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmapelian Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 not going.........after the 2002 Philly show I told myself I would never attend another GnR concert not in NYC Plus, they don't go onstage till so fucking late I would not want to be stuck in an arena sitting around waiting for them to decide to take the stage. When they play in NYC, it's easy to go to a few bars before hand and arrive around 10-10:30 which works perfectly since they usually take the stage after 10:30. But in Camden or E. Rutherford, that's not so much an option nor is waiting around for 2 hours between acts.Not to mention it's my 20 yr HS Reunion that night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uzi your illusion Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I was holding out for MSG too, but fuck it I caved and bought tickets for the wife and me. Section 102, Row X , Axl is going to give this crowd his all , he knows that the Philly press is going to be judging him hard, and it'll be awesome to watch him tell them to suck it. Can't wait, saw Guns last year at Sweden Rock and at the Hammerstein in 2006, each time better then the last. Oh and by the way , I'll probably get to hear "Estranged". Worth the price of admission if you ask me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnRDuff1 Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Ill be going. Got the pit tickets at 10:05 am last Thursday. Saw them in the meadowlands in 06 and was at the riot show. Nobody who would go to this show thinks Pierre's opinion is worth shit, so that won't be the problem. Philly fans being bitches who can't move on may be though. Yknow it's not like we didn't get our money back. I hope people don't go and then have to hear the 15000 that go gloat about it. Where will we do it though? MMR would rather be right than let the truth about GnR be heard. Preston and Steve were bashing the rir show (such a surprise). Fuck 'em. But I hope the turnout's good so he'll come back and I don't have to drive 2.5 hours again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GnRDuff1 Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 How big is the arena? Do we know if Buckcherry is opening this as well?[/quoteIts not an arena at all. Its a performing arts specific ampitheater styke venue in the summer. in the fall, the lawn is closed off (usually) and it holds 7000 people indoors. I guess they're accounting for all the butt-hurt Philly has over the 2002 thing. Uhhh Buckcherry? Considering Josh and Keith were going to be in VR at one point, I'm very surprised Axl would have them open. Never been there before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Nova Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 (edited) When are tickets going on sale for this?

(Camden is considered as being within metropolitan Philadelphia) This venue is literally 10 minutes from downtown Philadelphia, just over the bridge.The OP should edit his original post and put Philadelphia in parenthesis next to Camden.

I was at the 2002 no show and I was pissed at the time. People grow, they get over things, I did. And the whole "Philly crowds are the worst" is the most overblown, media created illusion there is out there. Much worse happens in other cities every year and barely gets any attention - like people getting killed in parking lots, beat up, etc....if a fan throws a snowball at a Philly event it's all over the nightly news. And I highly doubt fans that are paying $100+ per ticket are going there to get back at Axl....lol.

We are like the Axl Rose of all city's apparently lol. I am pretty sure any crowd is gonna be assholes when someone doesn't show up for their own gig/I am sure there will be people at the show who will be totally blown away at how great Axl and boys are and just won't admit it, or just say well he is fat yadda yadda yadda.

Most people would feel perfectly fine going to a show in L.A. (Annual beatings among fans at events, killings, etc.) or a show in Canada (riots at least once a year) than to go to a show in Philly where there have been maybe 5 incidents in the past 50 years, mostly related to booing, snowballs, etc... (And the Philly 2002 no show WAS NOT a riot....there were maybe 10 chairs and a few beers thrown....it was over in 5 minutes and it stayed within the venue...more like a few fans just letting off steam) It's amazing how people just buy into whatever the media feeds them.

I was also surprised when I saw VR and BC on the same bill in 07(?). No bad seats from what I remember and I was pretty far when I saw Maiden there.

I've never been.Also after reading this thread I am scared Axl will not show. But like theres no way he would do that twice right?!
