sturginho Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 People dissing this have no idea what they are talking about for 2 reasons:1. Gn'R frequently records in Vegas, so this is most likely an indication that the band will be booking studio sessions in Vegas together... lots of bands do something like this while they're recording - plus it's nice to make some coin to pay for studio time.2. Hard Rock is an awesome, awesome spot and The Joint is a sweet venue... those who think it's some sleazy casino, have no clue.I'd love it if they were doing this to bankroll recording of a new album and that having them altogether in one place for a prolonged period instead of on the road meant that they would have plenty of time to write and record an album, but can you see this happening?

Gagarin Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Less variable cost. Should be profitable. Probably easy on band too.To say that this is the end or that unless new songs it is the end is illogical. What difference is twelve shows? I'm only surprised they are doing it, but uh, isn't it nice they're still working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SONOFABITCH Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 You know I take back what I said that I would not go to this show. I would. The days of Axl Rose saving rock music are LONG gone. It is time to accept it for what it is. There are worst ways to spend an evening than listening to Axl's vocals of rock classics. Do I think the new band has any future in terms of new music? NO. Do I accept the new band? NO. Do I still want a reunion? YES. Will it ever happen???? Nope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st0n3r Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Well, this is all kind of expected. At least it's better then nothing. I do hope they release an album after these shows. If they start touring again with no album, it's kinda sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axlrosefan4life Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I'm going to the 23 & 24 shows. Questions about the VIP. No 15 min early entry. Is the meet and greet before show or after? I'd hate to fork out all this money and not be front and center Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Definitely can't go even if I found a good deal on flights - every flight I could take coming home either leaves at 1 AM on the 25th (Which obviously wouldn't be possible), or 11 PM on the 25th, arriving at home at 1 PM on the 26th (I've got classes that day).

downzy Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 It's interesting that they're calling the jaunt "Appetite for Democracy." That should pretty much sum up what you're going to get with these shows. A lot of Appetite, some Democracy, and the usual UYI/Lies songs. I'm also curious to see how many of these shows sellout. The great thing about playing Vegas from a band's perspective is that even if all the dates don't sell out soon after they go on sale, they benefit from playing a tourist destination. I've got to figure that most dates will still be available almost up until the performance date. People looking for something to do might jump on board when they're in town, rather than actually plan to visit Vegas for GNR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDemocracyRose Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 http://thejointlasvegas.com/Home/Events/Event-Details.aspx?id=235Guns N’ Roses has teamed up with Hard Rock Hotel & Casino to invade Las Vegas with a never-before-seen, one-of-a-kind music experience. Each night, the band will perform an electrifying show featuring a set list created exclusively for The Joint.Exact details about the show are being kept under wraps but fans can expect the raw and gritty heavy metal Guns N’ Roses is known for along with a few surprise elements. Produced exclusively by AEG Live, Appetite for Democracy is unlike any show the band has ever done before or will ever do again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stiff Competition Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I won't be seeing this because I won't go see Axl again after how bad the show I saw in December was BUT for those who still dig seeing him, this will be cooler than you think. Motley did it in february and it was amazing. The whole hotel had Motley shit everywhere, banners, magazines, shirts, poker chips, even the door hangers to tell the house keeping had motley on them and said "please clean my home sweet home" on one side and "don't go away mad, just go away" on the other. Hard Rock will really make this a cool thing for the fans and band. On top of all that kind of stuff, the band really gets in to a groove not having to travel so much with either staying in Vegas or going home to LA (depending on where they all live).The thing I am most disappointed in with this though, is the terrible defacing of Robert Williams artwork. What a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tat2d1 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I'm wondering if they will play some Illusion era stuff that hasn't been played in years. It'd be cool if they busted out "Coma" or "Pretty Tied Up". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
