  1. This is tough, but here goes; 1. Night 3 06’ Hammerstein Ballroom 2. 16’Philly 3. 06’ Cleveland 4. Vegas 16’ 5. Pittsburgh 02’ 6. Orlando 11’ 7. Pittsburgh 16’ 8. DC 16’ 9. Hershey 17’ 10. Baltimore 21’ 11. Philly 17’ 12. NYC 16’ 13. Wilkes-Barre 11’ 14. Youngstown 11’ 15. Atlantic City 1st night 21’ 16. Pittsburgh 23’ 17. Silver Spring 12’ 18. Brooklyn Bowl 13’ 19. Buffalo 17’ 20. DC 17’ 21. Bethlehem 14’ 22. Hershey 23’ 23. Louisville 19’ 24. Hershey 21’
  2. Live and let die from the 02’ tour. I’d say NYC or Pittsburgh. Both have killer screams that keep going and going!
  3. It was awesome seeing your favorite singer front 2 of the biggest bands on the planet at the same time. After so many years of bad press, it was nice to see finally see him get praised by the media
  4. For me it’s “what if” they did the reunion in 2006 and released CD in 2007 with slash and duff? Axl was on fine form both physically and vocally in 06’ and velvet revolver was media darlings. It would’ve been even bigger than NITL was. They easily would’ve risen to the top as big or bigger than Aerosmith did during their second or 3rd act when they hit it big in the early-mid 90’s with get a grip and big ones. Also speaking of Aerosmith, it makes me think of Wayne’s world 2, which brings me to this, “what if” Mike Myers wouldn’t have insisted on using bohemian rhapsody in Wayne’s world 1 and went with the original song that the the producer wanted…. Sweet child o’ mine? Then GNR show up on mtv with a new SCOM video featuring Wayne and Garth and GNR carry that mainstream momentum into the mid-late 90’s when we could’ve got the majority of what became CD.
  5. I have a hit parader magazine from 1996 where it said “rumors continue that the legendary Guns N’ Roses are super close to handing in the tapes for a new album. Slash said good music is good music whether it’s recorded in 1987 or 1997 shouldn’t make a difference”. Then just a few months later, the headline in hit parader was that Slash split, and left GNR. So I think people still wanted them around, they were just absent. Also for what’s its worth, I know at my high school in the yearbook, GNR were still ranked most popular band until 96’ even in 97, they were 3rd, behind Aerosmith and Ozzy. I wasn’t in high school at the time, but both of my siblings were, and I saw it in their books. Also, in 2018, the school my nephew went to had GNR listed as the favorite rock band. That surprised me, but was cool to see
  6. Yeah I like to think it’s an intentional homage to uncle Ozz
  7. Does he say Satan laughing or satanic laughing? Originally I thought it was Satan, but after a few listens I’m not really sure.
  8. I think the big difference is that Axl never left Guns N’ Roses, everyone else bailed on him. I think he took it as a me against the world/last man standing carrying the torch for guns.
  9. Well Axl being a happy man and getting good press was great while it lasted. I bet he says fuck this shit, I’m out! Watching the documentary she clearly says it wasn’t rape, it was consensual. They were all young, dumb and on all kinds of drugs. It’s so convenient that the statute of limitations waiver expires in a few days and this comes like a week after GNR was in the news about their managers sexual assault allegations. But the mainstream press will likely roll with her side of the story, and the majority of people will hear that and not look any further. I think this is the beginning of the end for Axl being the happy guy we saw on stage this year, and GNR in general.
  10. Great man, good advice, I’ll move onto an unreleased song… ohh I know, how about the general?
  11. I agree they are different songs. I was saying/asking if anyone thought there could be more to the general than what we’ve heard. I mean it was locked down for 15 years and nobody outside of a few of Axl’s friends ever heard it. I guess I’m alone in this, but I wouldn’t be surprised that when it’s officially released that there is more to it. People are saying how they played it live, sure they did, but they also played silkworm’s live and the official release of silkworms became absurd and was different. Axl seems to like to be in control of when we hear his art, so I wouldn’t put it past him to troll us. That’s all I’m saying.
