Guns n' Swedes Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 He said that until a couple of hours before the show he thought that they were playing some club tonight instead of this show. I thought it was very Axl-ish of him, but how couldn't he know? It's been official for some time, no?The new management gotta work on those communication issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stiff Competition Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I didn't watch it, so I don't know the context of it, but the joint used to be much smaller. They changed it in to a larger venue in 2009, so he could of been referring to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there will be a few celebs in the VIP sections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guns n' Swedes Posted January 1, 2012 Author Share Posted January 1, 2012 Ok, calm down. I'm not trying to spread shit.I just thought it was funny/fascinating that he did not know. I would be less surprised if it happened in 88 for ex. I didn't get the impression that he was joking though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stardust Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Axl recently described the hell they went through to get to play in a better venue in LA, I really doubt he had no idea what he was getting into here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rock4eva Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Looking WAY too much into this.Totally agree, I heard it & of course he sounded serious. Thats the way his humour is, but most likely he smiled after saying it indicating that he was joking. Hardly think he didn't know he was doing a big concert until a few hours before the show when it would have been booked, negotiated, payments & contracts made way before the tour even started.

Gagarin Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) WTF you people. Yes, he was joking."I thought we were going to be playing at a bar somewhere"... either riffing on the fact that, 1.) The Joint is completely new, and 60% bigger. 2.) They keep trying to put GNR in a smaller box, so he was making fun of the fact that The Powers That Be would have liked to have GNR playing a dive bar... and here he his, looking at the first of two back to back sold out shows.I was front row when he was talking, and it was clear it was making a joke.

Coma16 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 He's well aware that the Joint was the size that it was. He indicated that he thought they were doing a bar that night and the Joint the next (NYE) - 2 separate venues. Maybe he was upset that they were there that night as he agreed to do a bar show? He really seems to enjoy those smaller shows and it is too bad they weren't able to get one in this leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
