for those members considering attending a gnr show this year...


Recommended Posts

are you waiting to see if there's a new setlist with some new songs? are you waiting to see what kind of shape axl's voice is in? what's going to do it for you if you are sitting on the fence trying to decide?

I'd like to go to the residency since I missed the last one, but I may just wait and see if they tour the u.s. and hit somewhere closer to me.

As a broke student located in Europe, Vegas is too much of an ask for me financially. If they were to play anywhere near me - irrespective of new songs - I'd go. As I always have.

Why? Because I love to see GNR songs being performed by Axl Rose and world-class musicians.

I was kind of on the fence about Vegas but decided to go for it because it's gonna be a fun weekend and I'll get to see my favorite band twice. I'm excited to go and have a good time.... The setlist and Axls voice in the upcoming shows will play a part in how stoked I am closer to the show ("OMG cant wait for The General!!1!11!!!!") but I'm excited regardless. New songs would be a great boost though :thumbsup:

I'm at a wait and see how his voice his and shape he is in. I live in fl so west coast travel is tough with work and family.

Although no matter what I'm seriously considering going to the award show in LA

I loved the residency. It was like being at a GNR convention. My wife and I met people who we stayed in contact with, and it was so cool being in a place that was wall to wall GNR and full of rabid fans. Also seeing band members all over the casino was a real once in a lifetime experience. I am very fortunate to live a short distance from Vegas...

I could probably live with the same setlist if he could deliver on it. It's not ideal, but whatever.

The same songs bum me out, but Axl's live condition is the far more pressing issue to me. The only thing worse than the same old same old is the same old,...but not even done well.

Can't wait for Rock on the Range. New tunes would be great,but in all reality, I conceded a long time ago.I keep showing up and grabbing the top tier VIP package. Take my fucking money ! That is all.

If they come to the northeast, I'll go, hoping for a decent voice but expecting very little. I'll go because I guess that's what I do. I go to see Axl when I can. For better or worse. And, at this point, I'm always aware that it could be the last time. I suppose I'm a sucker, but if he has one moment per show that almost reminds me what he once was, that's good enough for me to attend and jump and scream like a kid. I have no illusions about what I'm paying to see, but he is still kinda Axl Rose every once in a while.

From what I hear those shows weren't the best. Which did you like more? What did you think of the "bowling alley" (lol)

I liked Brooklyn Bowl more. The only memorable moment of Terminal 5 was when they started playing Estranged. Then Axl botched the vocals and ruined it. It was a poor show.

Brooklyn Bowl, as a venue, gets more shit (pun intended) than it deserves. It's not a bad little place for a warmup gig. It's not like some bowling alley randomly decided to put on a GNR show. They have shows regularly, and it's a nice, intimate atmosphere. As far as the show.... we all know what ultimately went down, but I'll tell you what, man, when they opened with You're Crazy and Axl fuckin' nailed it, I thought we were in for something special. It wasn't to be, unfortunately.
