UK_GNR Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Have there been any whispers of any other shows to be added? Got a trip over to the states in October and would ideally like to catch a show but don't want to arrange flights etc for a more convenient date / location to be announced. Thanks.

Stryker Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 (edited) Just booked my flight and AirBnB for the first weekend. First time visiting Austin....should be fun! 12th time seeing them, but who's counting? Edited May 21, 2019 by Stryker 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockphantom Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 I noticed this blurb over at https://www.aclfestival.com/tickets/ under the 1 day ticket option. Would GNR be willing to end their show by 10PM? A streamlined 2 hour GNR gig (8-10PM) could actually be better than the 3.5 hour marathon gigs of 2017. Performances on 8 stages from 11am to 10pm on the day of your choice in Austin's Zilker Park 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockphantom Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 I am considering going to the 2nd Austin City Limits Festival GNR show on October 11th. While I was a die-hard fan during the golden era (1987-1993), I haven't been following the band closely since 2017. Axl's "Mickey Rose" performance on the SiriusXM Apollo Harlem, NY July 2017 broadcast completely turned me off. What are the odds that Axl will "Phone It In" during the October mini-tour? I would rather not waste my time (I'm a VERY busy person these days), or money at the Austin gig, if it's highly likely that it will be another "Mickey Rose & friends" performance. Honest feedback would be appreciated! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest feedback would be appreciated! Thanks! I honestly think it depends on whether there's new music on the horizon... if they do end up releasing a single/soundtrack song around September/October, I think Axl will show up prepared. If it's just another batch of shows to keep the paychecks coming in, well... If there's rumblings in the fall about new material, I'll be cautiously optimistic. Otherwise I expect him to sound worse than ever.... unfortunately. Axl's track record is pretty bad (at least in the last 8 years) as far as being prepared for a tour. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just go and come back with story. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say that if bad Axl vocals would ruin your enjoyment of the show totally then there's a high chance you won't have a good time and as you say you'd feel like your time and money were wasted. If you can look past it however then I'd say go and have a great time. Edited May 26, 2019 by Jw224 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you actually there at the New York show? Have you attended ANY shows this entire reunion period? If you answered "no" to either of those questions then you just answered your ultimate one.

rockphantom Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 I have attended three shows on the NITL tour. Both Vegas 2016 gigs and the Arlington, TX 2016 show. The predictable NITL setlist no longer interests me. I lived in Austin for 13 years and know what to expect at the ACL Festival. I have been to the ACL fest before (my friend won VIP tix in 2011), and it wasn't my scene. LARGE crowds of people going in every direction tend to make me uncomfortable. The main interest in going to the ACL gig was to catch up with good friends in Austin, who I haven't seen in 3 years. I have low expectations for the October GNR gigs.

andrew032302 Posted June 10, 2019 Author Share Posted June 10, 2019 1-Day General Admission is $105 and go on-sale at noon. Saturday usually sells out the fastest so I would worry about buying passes ASAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockphantom Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) To follow-up on Andrew's comment, according to a reply I received on this thread, it makes sense to buy single day GNR ACL tickets when they go on sale.https://www.reddit.com/r/aclfestival/comments/byywtn/tomorrow_is_the_day/eqnzhlp/ I will buy my ticket at 12 noon (Central U.S time) on Tuesday! I think the tickets will cost around $115 including fees. Edited June 10, 2019 by rockphantom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockphantom Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 The daily lineup for ACL has been released. Other than GNR, I have never heard of any of the other groups. I'll just watch the 2-3 bands that go on before GNR on the main stage. Hopefully, I will be pleasantly surprised. https://www.aclfestival.com/lineup/by-day/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
