whatashame Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 forgive my lame question, but having not been to a GNR show since 2012, I dont know if they are still late or not having booked to see them live in 2017, I do wonder - do they still start shows around midnite? 11:30 pm was the time I saw them start a show five times live.

James Bond Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I think Toronto had one of the latest starts at a whole 9:50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 It was still light out when they come on in Pittsburgh. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickodez Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 (edited) They were mostly on time this year. They were a little late in a few nights, but it was not their fault. Crazy year. There is funny video of the LA shows, the band was not late, but a lot of people were late thinking the band would be late. lol Edited December 17, 2016 by Rickodez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussTCB Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 The show in Detroit started like 8 or 9 mins early. As soon as the lights dropped I was like "Well this is a pleasant surprise" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RONIN Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 40-45 minutes late in San Diego. Looks like for the most part during this tour, they've been on time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The show usually starts around seven They go on stage at nine Get on the bus at eleven Sippin' a drink and feelin' fine last time i saw them in Zagreb in 2010. they were only 30 minutes late. But, the start time was scheduled for 11:00, so it was a long wait al together, but I had no problems waiting In 2016: GNR being on time, no Axl Rose rants, no drugs in the band, they just come out and to the gig... weird times indeed for RNR, and the most dangerous band in the world Edited December 18, 2016 by MisterNo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernsoul Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 The problem when Axl was late, is there were always people who somehow didn't expect it who got pissed off and those who had to leave after a few songs When they did it at festivals, a lot of the crowd was then already against them before they started which killed the chances of a good crowd before they began Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themadcaplaughs Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 The Atlanta show I saw was supposed to start at 9:30, and the band took the stage at 9:20. For comparisons sake, when I saw them in Atlanta in 2011, the show was supposed to start at 9:00, and the band took the stage at 10:45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you really enjoy waiting 4 hours for a band to go on stage when you go to a show then by all means... I hope for your sake they let you guys wait for many hours.

I hope they go on time for you and for anyone else that doesn't like to wait or is unable to. I don't get many chances to experience Gn'R live and this is the ideal way for me to experience a show, any show, always was. You respect my opinion...yeah ok. My stupid opinion lol.

I hear what you're saying, maybe just go to the show hours in advance to get as much out of it as you can because chances are they will probably be on time.

ChristmasFnatic Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Can we all get along and just meet in the middle? Pray they are late for only 2 hours, instead of 4 or being on time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindy100 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Personally I love it when Guns come on late. In Vegas on 8 April they didn't come on until midnight - fantastic! Yes, I was knackered the next day, but the excitement of the whole build-up on the night was totally worth it - this is how they used to be - this is one of the things that made GNR so bad-ass! I loved it then and I love it now. I don't want them to be mainstream, I want them to be bad boys! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
