gnr5 295 Posted November 7 (edited) Cool vid Duff posted on his IG going over the last leg of the tour. What I picked up from this, and I'm surprised, it looks like they still take busses? And they are also flying commercial between some cities. https://www.instagram.com/tv/B4iV6_EnyNq/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Edited November 7 by gnr5 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Look at that schedule Living the dream, fortunately the GNR shows pay cheque well and truly balances out the time spent away from family etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe they are rehearsing new songs, not really new in the sense of recorded but songs like So Fine that appear on the alt list Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cineater 863 Posted November 8 Wait, I'm so fucking lost. There's no times or locations (just a city) on that calendar. He's really bad at the calendar. You'd think for an accountant major there would be more detail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

k12 171 Posted November 12 I am guessing Axl is not sitting on that bus, I wouldn't be surprised if he has a private jet that takes him back to California after each gig especially if there are like 2 or 3 days off in between, I know that is a popular thing among big time artists nowadays where they basically jet in the day of and jet out after a gig, the air is their highway, I am actually surprised to hear Duff doing the bus thing 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would need somebody to hold my hand, just take me to where I need to be. My calendar for something like that would be so packed. I'd be living off of it. No wonder they stay on the stage for hours. The only safe, uncomplicated place on the tour. Know what they are doing there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only safe, uncomplicated place on the tour. Know what they are doing there. They also have those people in each city. A buddy of mine works for a company that picks up bands at the airport they will fly into a smaller airport on private jet (for those that fly in to do shows) and drives them to the venue. Here in Minneapolis a lot of bands will "hub" out of Chicago and fly to shows in the midwest - Milwaukee, MSP/StPaul, St Louis, Detroit, etc.. While the gear/prod travels from venue to venue, the band fly's in, does the show and fly's out afterward. Not all bands do this, but those that do it gives them a sense of "home," while on the road. He has driven for Metallica, Bob Segar and others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does this mean we won't get that GNRAir Lithograph set? Maybe not.....but you can still pre-order your Captain's pin badge and Aviator Glasses. and try and help them take to the skies. It must be hard running an airline with no flights- the least people could do is buy items of clothing with their logo on. If you buy enough of it you could dress like a captain and might even win a prize at a local fancy dress competition! You could be beaten savagely on the train however getting to the competition, or laughed at by local teenagers, so exercise caution. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
