Popular Post Nalbi Posted June 21, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 21, 2017 I agree with most people here, I never complained about the current lineup for this tour, even though a tiny part of me always secretly hoped for Steven or Izzy to show up at the show I attended. But if they're going to do this, they've got to do it right, and the only way to do so is to have AFD5 on stage that night. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDemocracyRose Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) 5 days break. How much voice can he loose? Edited June 21, 2017 by TheDemocracyRose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beautifulanddamned Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 If Izzy and/or Steven are there, we are way more likely to get appearances by one or both of them during the remainder of the tour, since we know they would be getting along at least to some extent with the band and the money element has been worked out. At least there would be a good chance we would see one or both of them at the closing shows in CA before this whole thing comes to an end. But it's GnR so maybe this will only be a special experience for Kate Hudson and her buddies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) Im excited for good audio and SUPER excited for those fans that get in. Meh to the rest. There is no real AfD commemoration while 2 important members are willing yet excluded. NITL and the lineup are very good and Im satisfied, but that aint OG GNR. As long as it isnt, I dont care about am anniversary show. A remaster or something or even just a post on their website acknowledging the album and original gang would be "authentic" enough. Either way, hope Axl sounds good Edited June 21, 2017 by ZoSoRose 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackjacker Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) My wife's had good luck w/ these Sirius XM subscriber ticket offers in the past. Fingers crossed that between that and Nightrain that we get in. Edited June 21, 2017 by Blackjacker shitty grammar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's the AFD anniversary, playing AFD from front to back would be the best bet...same thing Metallica did a few years back in their anniversary show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

default_ Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Its cool and all but its ridiculous that this is a celeb gig. It'll be even worse if THIS is the AFD anniversary gig and features Steven and/or Izzy. Fuck off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DMathski Posted June 21, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 21, 2017 Why would anyone expect this to be a 30th anny show when there's no mention of that in the press release? Don't expect anything. Nothing will happen. Maybe Axl will mention it that's about it. Same old set list. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncitingChaos Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I told all you praising Axl's magical concert voice that he better be ready for something live that will be broadcast...I hope to god he gets this right! If it's just AFD the only songs I'm concerned about are SCOM and PC. Oh well this will be fun! I'm excited for the guys and I'm sure it will be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the biggest pressing issue at the moment...I knew this day was coming and Sirius is going to portray Axl's vocals in a slightly better way than YouTube does, so if he sings like he is currently then this will be a disaster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't expect anything. Nothing will happen. Maybe Axl will mention it that's about it. Same old set list. It's within hours of the release date of AFD from 30 years ago. And actually, if they play past midnight, it will be on the exact date AFD was released 30 years ago. So of course any fan with any sort of knowledge of the history of the band will assume it's the AFD 30th anniversary show. And that's exactly what the promoters and that band want you to assume. Whether they actually do it right, is another story. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he hasn't for pro shots before the reunion but the last time he was under pressure so to speak was for AC/DC and he knocked it out of the park. Plus the Coachella pro shot sounds awesome, even November Rain is good and that is usually a weak song for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold top 78 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I just hope this isn't another reunion chance wasted because of egos etc. They managed to fuck up the HOF and the Troubadour. Hopefully they play AFD in full and some of the UYI hits and release it on DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunsDK Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 So they are doing this show on the day before the actual AFD30 anniversary.. in NYC instead of L.A... and it's invite only. Wtf. I wonder if the band is actively trying to see just how much they can get away with.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IncitingChaos Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 However the way he changes his voice in Jungle could always lead to this this would be a disaster Just now, AlexC said: Nothing wrong with that Jungle, sounds great. Yea I'd consider that a small victory...not great but it's good enough. That's what I'm expecting. I'm hoping it's the best performance they've ever had and Axl is AC/DC Axl again but I'm keeping my expectations in the mediocre range for this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially izzy because, well, you know... he wrote the fucking songs. What a bunch bullshit. Of course he is a member of the band, after 16 years you aren't just an employee anymore, even if that would be the case on paper. It's also not true that nobody wants to hear CD, I like that album. Furthermore, CD sold several million copies, that's not a fail at all. It fell behind expectations, yes, but a fail is something different, not an album that sold several million times (billboard says 5.6 million, too lazy to read through this thread now: http://www.mygnrforum.com/index.php?/topic/170442-how-many-copies-chinese-democracy-really-sold/).

Fortunately the european leg including the Tel Aviv show ends only 5 days before this event so most likely Axl will be in good shape.
