Wow. What a show! I don't know how these guys have this insane energy to pull off an almost 3 hours concert!

Guns N' Roses were truly all guns blazing tonight. Axl looked fitter, and probably made up for the show he had to cut short last time. Crowd was electric as well.

Shame on the posters here who were saying they'd laugh if they open with It's so Easy etc. They did play songs like Bad Obsession, Pretty Tied up etc which were not played before. Axl is 61 for God sake. If you don't like them, don't complain. 

Axl did miss some lyrics in couple songs and I think Slash messed up the intro of Chinese Democracy unless he was improvising? Fortus was really good too!

Wow! That's one heck of a lithograph! Awesome work!

I was there at the concert. Couldn't really tell if Axl was sick until he told us. The other band members were definitely firing in all cylinders. I was surprised by Duff's vocals in Attitude. He was really amazing. Axl kept his movements to minimal and only tried running around once if I remember correctly during Double Talkin Jive.

yup too expensive plus I don't care about the race. Let me know If I can get to the concert alone and I'm in.

messed up and confusing options. You need to buy the whole F1 ticket to see the Guns and it's not clear as well if we can go to Du Arena without going to the race or we can only go from the F1 race.

I heard on the local radio this morning that GNR asked the organizers for a full 3 hour slot to do their whole show

Great! Thanks for the info. Will try to make it then.

It doesn't worth dude, I would rather spending that money on AFD Boxset (which will be hopefully available at Virgin Stores at some point)

trying to get hold of a ticket. If I can manage, will go otherwise not worth it I guess.

guess it's just gonna be a few songs, and very popular songs indeed. YCBM is in for sure!

I remember seeing your picture when they came to Dubai. What an amazing concert. Went 5 hours before it actually started and I think you guys were there at that time also

Not sure if it will be worth going to Abu Dhabi and getting in to hear few songs? but after all it's Guns n Roses. Are you going?

does anyone know if it will be a full 3 hours concert or are they just gonna play few songs and that's it?

I think the setlist is pretty much perfect at this point (though they really should play Slither) and I hope they don't change it when they come to Europe, because I haven't heard/seen them live yet. I don't get the bitching about the setlist. If you think it's boring, stop watching those streams. Like someone said: sure, it's the same setlist but with a different audience every night.

Well said. Let other people enjoy who haven't seen them live. Loved the set list. Although I wished they included Don't Cry.

I read in a local newspaper that there will be a band opening for them. Gates open at 4 PM and the shows start at the same time (I doubt it). It might start around 6 but I will not be taking any chances.

9 more days! can't wait! Not sure how many people from the forum are attending.

I agree...all this analysis and nit-picking is oh so rock n roll...gimmie a break...I'm into going to the live shows and enjoying the moment. I rarely watch any of the live vids...even when I was a pre-teen w/ the Live in Tokyo vids I rarely watched. Most older artists are not going to sound like they used to (Mariah Carey for eg) ...it's the most difficult instrument to preserve w/ time. 

I do agree that Axl should've taken more responsibility w/ his gift and not smoke and work out more...but in the end I too am grateful they're all alive!! that's a miracle in itself. Sorry if I sugarcoat it and am positive but I guess I'm enjoying the moment!

Well Said. We should be grateful that these guys are alive considering they are from 'live fast, die young' era. Each to it's own but we should be appreciating that the band is together and playing music again. 

The truth is Axl Rose is 55 years old! Almost the age of some of our parents! He has done 10000's of concerts in his life. How do we expect his voice to remain the same? I'm sick of seeing so many comments about his 'Mickey Mouse' voice or comparing it with '92 or '06. 

We should be glad that he's alive and kicking and still doing shows. For a huge fan like me, I am really excited to see GnR live for the first time in my life. I will take anything what he offers. After all it's Guns n Roses!

It's almost sold out by now. VIP Area and General Stand has few tickets left. 

No worries. If anyone needs anymore information about Dubai or anything else, feel free to ask me.

Taxi's are easily available. You can use Uber or another app similar to Uber called Careem.

It says 4 PM so you best believe I'll be there at 4. Not missing this chance haha. I've got a FanPit ticket which is supposed to be right at the front.

Timing still doesn't make sense. 4 PM is too early for the most dangerous band in the world and for Dubai standards.

Can't wait!

It says Doors open at 4 PM and Event starts at 4 PM as well. 

Most probably the show will start at 6 PM.

I bought my Welcome To The Jungle Package during the pre-sale through Nightrain membership, then just after a couple of days they opened the public sale. I don't know the point of pre-sale privilege if the regular ticket sale is just 2-3 days away. I think this privilege is only advantage for those in locations where tickets are selling like hotcakes. 

I agree. Don't see the benefit of Nightrain membership as such.

So Excited! Purchased the ticket for Fan Pit which is right next to the stage. I hope it will be worth it! Who else will be there? This is too good to be true. Not in a life time indeed!
