I thought they were Mexican too. They aren’t?
 

Why would they be Mexican? Is Axl Canadian?

The General is weak. Monsters is a great track...a real earworm. 

The Warning will open for them. If you're attending, make sure to catch their show! They're phenomenal. 

Oh My Zeus?

On a more serious note, I think Oh My God is a brilliant song (especially from a lyrics standpoint), but it has a terrible, terrible, terrible mix. For selfish reasons, I'd love another release of it.

I'd say the enterprise center far more likely than the dome 

If reports are accurate, they sold 12,000-17,000 more tickets than the Enterprise Center can hold. Either, they continue the show at Busch Stadium, or they'll play the Enterprise Center on two separate dates (doubtful).

Maybe not, but it would seem to make sense to mention what kind of illness is being dealt with and the typical recovery time considering there are a bunch of upcoming shows. Not a big deal I guess but that was my intended point 🤷‍♂️

No one is entitled to that information. Postponing a show of this magnitude is a costly endeavor—a decision not made lightly. While a band member's personal issue is the cause of this situation, the band does not need to give specific medical details to the public. You are wrong. 

Hello! I've been a member of this forum since 2003 but began to lurk in 2002. It's been almost 20 years  My favorite Mygnr era was May of 2006. The NYC Hammerstein shows were beyond incredible and magical. As a whole, my favorite era of Guns N' Roses is the summer of 1991, but imo, this online community hit its peak somewhere between 2006-2008.

Maybe during the Appetie/LIES era.. I would argue that once the Illuions tour was in full swing most bands were trying not to be like him.  Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Metallica and just about every other band at the time.. I still remember playing those Tokyo VHS tapes for people in highschool and people making fun of his outfits.. That continued when I would play them for friends on the ship while in NAVY.. 

His outfits during the first leg of the 1991 tour weren't as ludicrous. I really dig what he wore during the May warm-up shows. It wasn't until early 1992 that a lot of the ridicule started to kick in as his styling changed. While the damage to his reputation had been done by 1993, he reverted to much less campy clothing during the Skin N' Bones Tour. 

Axl tends to perform well in Bogota given the altitude. However, the concern is valid since he's coming from Lima, which is at sea level. One can hope he acclimates in time (may equate to less running and spinning on his end).

I know this has been cleared up in previous pages, but for those of you who are still asking: 100% of the video's footage originates from the band's 1991 performance at the Ritz (theatre, not club). 

Yes! The Ritz show was the best choice they could have made....it was recorded with film rather than tape. The blu-ray will be unreal.

I love how we Argentinians always think its all about us...

Why would this show be any different from the many they performed in Brazil, or Europe or elsewhere hahahaha

I would love to be proved wrong, but aside from the incredible energy we have as fans, I dont think we are any different from anywhere else. and that this will be just another show.

I HOPE TO BE PROVEN WRONG 

I do think Argentinian shows tend to be different. How many crowds sing the guitar solos?  It's quite awesome.

I have a question too

what does "Live ?!*@ Like a Suicide" means?

 

In a suicide, life is extinguished, so calling it "live" was their attempt at irony. The album, while it sounds like a live album, was not recorded in a concert setting but in a studio. The crowd noises were added after its recording. So, in a sense, the album is as "live" as a suicide, meaning that it's a studio recording and not an actual live album.

How about this; instead of me doing a bunch of work for you, let's see what happens with the next GN'R tour of the US. The venue sizes and lack of interest will prove my point, again. 

If they book stadiums outside of NY/NJ and CA, then I think that would be the case. However, during their last US tour (2021), the country was still working through the pandemic's last wave, and I do think that most likely affected sales. I am confident that if they were to stick with arena or amphitheater shows, they would sell at least 75-80% of tickets by each show's play date. Out of the bands from their era, only Metallica, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and U2 has a higher financial pull stateside right now, and that's not so bad considering the band has toured the country several times since Axl, Duff, and Slash reunited in 2016. I'm frankly surprised they've stayed as relevant in the touring circuit considering what I feel is market oversaturation on their end.

i would love to know you r opinion on the best sweet child o mine post 90s 

for me i guess is 06 LA 

I agree with this assessment. Axl's' voice during those LA shows was absolutely perfect, and the band played well.

Do they really need to tour the US?

The answer is probably no. They have enough fans in Europe, Latin America, and Asia to sustain their touring enterprise for the foreseeable future. The fact that they can play so many dates in Brazil alone should be an indication. They could probably pull-off something similar in Mexico, Argentina, and Australia.

I didn't realize how lucky I was to be at Philly 2016 - ended up being one of the best shows of the era IMO. That was a great Nightrain, though I didn't love the faster tempo. Nightrain is about the swing.

I was at both Philly 2012 and 2016. His voice was unreal (especially in the 2012 show). Nightrain was a highlight.
