rockphantom Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 (edited) I received my wristband a few days ago. I am having second thoughts regarding the ACL gig on October 11th. I am not fond of festival environments or of the oddballs that turn up at ACL. I must be aging out of the concert experience, as most shows tend to be more trouble than they are worth at this stage of my life...

rockphantom Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 (edited) Is ANYONE from the forum going to the October 11th GNR gig at Zilker park? I bought tickets for the 2nd weekend, because there is traditionally a lower turnout compared to the first weekend. The highly anticipated University Of Texas Vs. Oklahoma University "Red River Showdown" will be taking place on October 12th in Dallas. This football game is a religious event for many residents of Austin, and should help reduce the amount of people in attendance for the second weekend of ACL. I am going to stay at my friend's condo which is a 15 minute walk from Zilker park. Parking for the ACL fest is usually a BITCH!!

rockphantom Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I am putting this out there for grins. Would anyone in the Dallas/Fort Worth area being interested in buying my October 11th ACL Wristband? My instincts are telling me not to attend this show. I would like to sell the wristband at cost ($120) and could meet up locally (at a police department) to make the transaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just out of curiosity, why are your instincts telling you not to attend the show? Not criticizing, just curious. Edit: I just read your earlier post which explains it. I can totally understand that.

rockphantom Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 The forecast for Friday in Austin is rainy and cooler. I hope the rain doesn't affect the GNR gig at Zilker park. https://weather.com/weather/weekend/l/e8257297923f80e205c6eb6505c009ea71b092fe1a4ec6a68e59ad83da4f0698 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNRfanJen Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 4 hours ago, colgatetoothpasteyum said: Since it's an outdoor music festival rather than a stadium and the staff is not exclusively for GNR, do you think I could get away with a "Play Hardschool!!!" cardboard sign? I plan on camping at the rail. I can tell you right now, from personal experience, that won’t work. I had made a sign that I was proud of, brought it with me into the park, camped at the rail, and held it up for all of 3 seconds I think after ISE/Brownstone, before Gio (the same guy who cornered Rick today), literally came and took it from my hands, rolled it up, and put it down on the ground in front of me where I couldn’t reach it. I bet he felt so high and mighty taking away an innocent sign from a small girl in the front row. If you still want to try it then please be my guest, I’m just giving you my personal experience of what happened to me just a few days ago at the same festival. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only chance is if you take it out at a time where Axl sees it before Gio or any of the other guys do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aw, well, I'm not a small girl, I'm a big guy, but if they're taking away the signs even at festivals than I guess I shouldn't even bother. Anyways, even though it's exciting to see they played Locomotive, I really hope they play Coma on Friday. It's my favorite song and it'll be my first time seeing the band.

andrew032302 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Hate to say that, unfortunately, due to school, I can only go on Saturday. It’s upsetting, but it’s not like the guys are ever gonna stop touring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post rockphantom Posted October 8, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 8, 2019 (edited) Well it appears that my lodging plans in Austin fell through (my good friend has to take care of business out of state). Unless something changes, I won't be at the gig on Friday. It would be hard as hell to get a hotel room at this stage, and I don't want to inconvenience any of my other Austin area friends. I'm too old for the BS associated with attending rock shows. UPDATE: I will be heading to Austin on Thursday night!! I am unsure if I will capture audio of GNR this time. It's going to be very windy and wind noise ruins all audience recordings. Locomotive is the only thing enticing me to tape the show. Otherwise, I think it would be fun to just relax and enjoy the GNR gig... Edited October 10, 2019 by rockphantom 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how did those people who held up those "slash balls out" signs end up being able to hold them up without security getting a hold of them and axl excitedly wanting to hold one of the signs up?.

rockphantom Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 If I arrived at the festival around 4:30pm would I have enough time to get a good spot for the GNR show? I'm not expecting to be in the front row. I would like to spend as little time at Zilker as possible. It's in the 50's and damp down here!!

rockphantom Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 What are the odds the show is called off? I'm out with a friend at a restaurant and the weather is terrible. Cold, wet, and drizzling. The worst possible weather for an outdoor show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
