mr. address Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 anyone think that maybe they're doing this to work on the record? they'll all be together as if they were on tour, only without the grind of traveling. thus, they'll have spare time in which their playing will be sharp/inspired from doing shows every night, and the band will make money to pay for sessions. just a thought.

SoulMonster Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Yes, more dates! The band is on fire. I hope they get some work done before the end of October, then, since they might head directly to the East after the LV dates.Could someone explain to a simple foreigner why it is bad that the band shall play in Las Vegas, is it just because of the association with some other acts that have taken up home their or is there something genuinely wrong with playing in Las Vegas except that it is, naturally, a joke city?

I'm just frustrated that there's more shows and no announcement from anyone that matters about new music. Your enthusiasm is somewhat inspiring though. Bring on the first show so I can see where I'm going in regards to this band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalsh327 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 anyone think that maybe they're doing this to work on the record? they'll all be together as if they were on tour, only without the grind of traveling. thus, they'll have spare time in which their playing will be sharp/inspired from doing shows every night, and the band will make money to pay for sessions. just a thought.They did record some of Chinese Democracy at The Palms. I think it was mentioned Axl did his final vocals there for it. The "Sinful" and "November" on Facebook was kind of obvious. Not sure what the complaining about GNR doing a residency is about, it's in Vegas, people go there to spend money for entertainment and gamble. Going to see Axl go on at midnight is a non-issue. Everyone going there doesn't have to work the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumble's Bridge Pickup Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Do i smell a live DVD?Good point, this would be a great opportunity to film one cause you could pick the best performances of each song from 12 sources performed at the same place.However that's why I think there won't be a DVD.

Estranged Reality Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Live DVD would be cool, but we've been saying that for what, ten years now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coma16 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Wow 12 shows in the same city? At least ticket prices start as low as $45, hopefully they sell! I'm really hoping there is a release before these shows and they use this month in Vegas to record new material. India dates now seem legit.

W. Axl Rose of Guns N' Fucking Roses!!!!!Awesome dude. Just remember, you're more likely to die in the car ride to the airport then you are in the plane. Once you've arrived to the airport, the safest part of your journey starts. Seeing GNR is an amazing experience, something all hardcore fans need to see before the opportunity is gone.
