I'm guessing no.  I'll ask anyway. 

Have they released updated tour shirt / merch that includes the dates added?  The merch with all of the tour dates ended with Vancouver.

My tour date shirts end with Nov. 5's Mexico City.

Island Blue in Victoria.

Dammit! 😂 Looks like I'll be hitting up Ikea.

Framed my litho and put it behind my drums

 

Where'd you get the frame?

I picked up a shirt outside the stadium about half an hour ago; they were all out of the deadpool lithographs. I was told they would have more inside once the stadium opens.

After a bunch of us waited a while for the lithos to come out, it turned out they had 30 in the box for the outside merch tent. First guy in line bought 10, next guy bought 5, a couple bought two a piece. After I bought my solo litho, they limited it to one a piece.

Merch stand opened up at about 12:45pm. Lithographs haven't arrived yet .

I'm in the line for merch at the Terry Fox Plaza. Guys at the booth said it'd be ready "in 45 minutes" so that'd be about 12:30pm or so.

Tees are $65.

Are Alice in Chains expected to be on stage at 6pm?

Looks like they begin their show at 6:30pm when they're opening for GN'R according to Setlist.fm

Deadpool? At least my brother will be happy with this one. I'm just glad it's not a Luiz Berger design.

Vancouver '17 was an incredible design but this one is good too. I presume it's Deadpool-inspired considering Reynolds and the red/black but I'm also getting an Evil Dead/gunslinger vibe with the dual guitars and guns.

Anyone know what time the merch booth outside the venue opens? 

I might head down there around 11am but hoping to hear from someone else if the merch booth is open before then. Don't want to be standing in the cold October Rain.

This show has sold so poorly that I just upgraded my tickets from the back of the bowl, to the first row on the floor behind the pit. 

 

Ticket prices have dropped dramatically.

Is there a way to upgrade tickets you already have through Ticketmaster? Or did you sell what you had already and buy new tickets?

I'm wondering this too... I was able to get a litho before the 2017 show, hoping to do the same this time.

As far as what they sell outside the venue, I think it's the same stuff they sell inside. But the gnrmerchtruck.com items might be made to order, and are lower quality. From what I've read, the ones they sell online have the city-specific artwork on the front of the shirts, while the shirts they sell at the show have the artwork on the back.

From Ticketmaster:

TOUR MERCHANDISE

Tour merchandise will be available for purchase outside on Terry Fox Plaza, and inside on Level 1 (103), Level 2 (205, 216, 222, 229, 233, 249), and Level 4 (420, 435).

Planning out my day for the Vancouver show and based on what I've read the last few months: should I be at the stadium before noon to snag a litho from the merch truck?  Aiming to get a few shirts from the truck as well. Or should I grab them inside the venue?

When GN'R was in Vancouver in 2017, I had my brother grab the merch while I was at work. He grabbed a litho and some shirts for both himself and me and the quality of the shirts has held up since then. Is there a merch truck/inside venue quality discrepancy now?

I'm thinking to go around 11am. 

I'll be going to this show with my brother and dad. Saw GNR in Vancouver last in 2017 with my brother. Saw VR on 2005 with my dad. Gonna be nice to go the three of us.

I think they park it out front pretty early but I plan on lining up early so I'll see if I can find out when it opens.

Could you also let us know what type of payments they take at the truck? That'd be rad. 

Never been to a concert at BC Place but I know Rogers Arena has started taking debit at the merch stands. BC Place cash only still? 

Finally got my tickets on Friday. So stoked. Only ever seen VR in '06 at the Coliseum. I'll be in A7 on the floor. 

Would rather just have AFD and selected Illusions songs come to Rock Band DLC than a dedicated game. I feel this is likelier than a standalone.

Don't Cry!

 

Man that dude singing along off-key really ruined the recording for me. Axl sounds pretty good on the song, though.

So it looks like it was just Jungle and NR on the stream. 

IIRC there was a leak a long time ago--I want to say around 2005-2007--of two versions of There Was a Time: one with vocals and one without. This was before the orchestra and choir was added. This is a very similar recording and a good one at that.

If this is true, i need this leak. The ones I have all have orchestra, including the instrumental leak. But the orchestra was present on the '1999' version. So it had to be already added by then

I'm probably misremembering it then; I think Chinese Democracy just added the choral arrangement at the beginning and more strings throughout. It's been a long time.

Our band is still in the conceptual stages.

Lead/Vocals: Me

Bass: Ian

Rhythm/Vocals: Jordan

We're gonna write a concept album.

I'd rather have Ron than Robin.
