Wonder if anything else leaks when there on stage

It won't be Slash now that he is sober and Whizzy isn't in the band.

Hope they play Sweet Child O Mine!!!! Fingers crossed!!!!!!

50-50 chance. The last time it was played was December 8, 2018. I'm pulling for you.

Will we have the privilege of seeing the yellow rain coat Rose indoors?

Guessing it’s a warm up for fall tour coming up. I’d guess whatever tonight’s set is will be fall set.  I’d give my left nut to be there.   Have fun all that are going. 

I agree, this is nothing more than a warm up show and future shows will have a similar setlist. Hopefully you have a right nut or I would reconsider.

Looks like he slimmed down a bit. Looking good, similar to some of the lady boys walking around Las Vegas.

Not to be negative because I am as excited as everyone else here and could care less at this point about a new release because it will never stand up to previous material. I am just glad they are hitting the road again and will be attending a Las Vegas show in November, but Axl Is going to sound just the same as he did when the tour ended earlier this year and most likely worse due to the layoff, also the chances of hearing anything new or unreleased  is about as likely as your wife offering you a good time tonight considering you are 20 years into your marriage. Not likely.

To be fair it, it’s Vegas. There is a lot of wealth in Vegas and there are many people who have the cash to purchase those tickets. Or maybe those tickets will be comped to high rollers, etc. Vegas is a different animal. Yeah, maybe it won’t be for the diehard fans to attend, but the band is playing cities they have not played before. I live two hours away from OKC and Wichita. The band are playing those cities for the fans who didn’t have access before, that’s something that deserves some recognition. And the prices are silly as fuck. 600$ for a floor seat. But most of those tickets will eventually be discounted. But, the price points are kinda sickening. Metallica charged 40$ for higher bowl tickets in Wichita. 

This band does nothing "for the fans" and that's ok, It's a business and I get that, same with the $1,000 boxset release and $300 stadium seats. Ridiculous prices to boost their bank accounts, the fans mean absolutely nothing and nothing they do caters to the fans.

It'd be sweet if GNR put half as much energy into releasing new music for their fans to buy as they do looking for lawsuits. 

The band will never change, unfortunately. 

New album hasn't started yet, what a shock.

No it's an attempt to tell you that Weiland wrote the lyrics and re-worked a lot of the early material VR gave him to work with. 

And that's really just your opinion. Outside of Contraband I find Slash's stuff generic and boring. That's my opinion. 

It must be Axls opinion also. After all he did pick up the telephone and call the guy who makes "boring generic" music.

And Scott Weiland re-worked and wrote the lyrics for. 

Slash created the song long before Weiland came in the picture, although Weiland did write the lyrics. Sounds like your comment was an attempt to diminish Slashs role but like i said, Axl hasnt created anything near as good as Slash has since the original band broke up.

100% agree. I've never cared for much of Slash's work outside of Guns N' Roses.

I've always thought Axl made Slash better, especially on some of Axl's "babies" like November Rain. I can't imagine a brilliant solo like that was Slash's original interpretation. Axl probably asked/encouraged Slash to modify it so it fit more into Axl's vision of having that epic finale.

Not sure about this. Nothing Axl has created since the original band split comes close to Fall to Pieces IMO, a song Slash helped create.

Coming off a massively successful reunion tour that had enough original members to satisfy the older fans, Guns N' Roses would be wise not to take too much time off. 

Not quite sure how the saying goes, but it's something like "you gotta stoke the fire while it's still hot". The band can't be idle to the point where everything they accomplished over the last 2 1/2 years is forgotten. I think as long as there's something new by the end of calendar year 2019, there'd be no serious momentum lost. Even if it's just a couple of new tunes for a soundtrack....they need something to maintain interest.

That's my thoughts exactly. The longer they sit and do nothing the less likely people are going to remain interested. Our attention span in the U.S. is good for a few months and that is being generous. The time to release a new album was when they were selling out stadiums, but they never seem to strike when the iron is hot. 

Hoping for a great ending to an amazing tour. We were truly spoiled and will realize that when it remains completely silent through 2019-2020. It's also to bad that there won't be much of a turn out for this final show. The ticket sales look pretty bad. 

Who cares about a new album. They haven't released one since 1991 anyway. Their catalog is fine just the way it is, all they need to do is introduce more Illusion cuts into the set list and hit the road again after a 6 month break.

I'm having mixed feelings on this subject............... Was the audience boo-ing when the show was stopped? Did some kind of riot begin?

As far as I know, the audience took it pretty well . It is quite understandable that some people, or the majority of them, would be disappointed because you don't expect for a one time show thing to stop abruptly, unless it is some kind of inevitable disaster.

This is not the case, though. Axl was feeling sick and he warned the audience about it. He tried to offer the show for as long as he could. His effort is appreciated, but maybe it was not the best decision to be made. Or it could have been handled better. All in all, I'm not sure why there are so many people in this forum throwing insults at the Abhu-Dabhi audience and taking it so much to heart, as if Axl was their dad or something.

Whatever is posted on Twitter it is fucking irrelevant to this matter. Twitter is not the official voice of a concert crowd. Twitter does not represent a whole city, or country or even a group of people. Each person is responsible for what they say or tweet if they do it through their personal account. They can say whatever the hell they want. Doesn't Axl use Twitter to say whatever the hell he wants and the nutswingers are always fighting for his 'freedom of speech'??

It really bothers me to read some shit..... especially when the band themselves have thanked Abhu-Dabhi for being supportive, for giving Axl positive vibes to pull through, etc...... and here we have people in the forum talking shit about other people they don't even know.... I mean.... yeah, some of those tweets are pretty unfair and ill-intentioned but why give credit to those few assholes? They are a fucking minority and represent no one but themselves.

 

Hopefully Axl will be recovered for next show and this whole mess will be over and forgotten.
It's a drag to keep reading the preaching of the holier-than-thous.

 

It's not about people acting as if Axl Is their dad. It's about peoples egos being so big that they think they deserve MORE. They got a  two hour show ,which is equivalent to what they would have got from any other headlining act. Some wouldn't have even given them 2 hours.

Such an awesome video, another great crowd.

I hope that they will play Welcome to the Jungle and Paradise City. 

Hearing rumors that neither will be played. There is talk that they will most likely be replaced with My world and Shotgun Blues. I guess we will find out tomorrow.

I am not one to judge whether either of them is hot or not  Slash is the fucking man and always will be but there is a cheese factor these days with the hat permanently stapled to his head on stage. Plus a chunky dude in his mid 50's might want to start thinking about ditching the leather pants. Just stop trying so hard. He actually still looks like a bad ass during the soundchecks.. Why not just go with that?

I don't know about Slash being cheesy. The hat and leather pants is who he is. He has been doing it for 30 plus years now. Slash is just Slash and being cool just comes naturally for him. If he would have just started this than I could agree, but that is not the case, although I must say you are one of the better posters here and I agree with the majority of what you have to say.

Wowww..I can’t recall any other time that the audience has sung together in NR that way. Has this ever happened before? Pretty cool actually!!

They were a great crowd and gave it their all for Don't Cry also. I think their was a crowd back in 2010 (maybe Bucharest) that sang every word In November Rain also. I will see If I can find the video.
