No, they are not enough. I've been going to shows since Vegas 2001 and he hasn't sounded good since 2006 in all honestly (some in 2010). He turns the instruments up so loud at some shows that it drowns out his voice on purpose. If he gets in SHAPE, I think he could sound great again.

One really positive thing to come out of this is that Fernando is no longer managing the GNR brand. He's not running the social media, not posting pics of hot girls he wants to bang, not tweeting at Taylor Momsen.

A professional agency clearly is in charge of the GNR brand now, which is remarkable. "Fortune 500 Fernando" thankfully is sidelined from managing "his band".

Do you know this because of the trailer? I was just trying to figure out how you knew for sure. Would be awesome if so!

I don't think he was being sarcastic in that bit. If he does this reunion he has to be shape. If he comes out looking like he did on the last tour(s), it will be a huge let down for everyone involved. People say they don't care, but they do...he will look better, sound better, and feel better. Here's to hoping that happens for the sake of this entire thing...

I'm assuming people forgot about Slash's brother commenting on Axl being on a strict diet. That says it all right there. The last time he got into top shape was 2006 when he started believing in Chinese Democracy again (even though it came out 2 years later). I'm fairly certain that it's going down.

Or you could just buy my super rare GN'R sunglasses from the late 80's tour at this link...

one pair gone...let me know if you want these. You will most likely NEVER see them again...no where on the internet for sale..PM me!

Besides wasted constantly clogging up this thread/threads, I mentioned that 93.1 mentioned the 25 shows being booked as fact through a "source"...probably from here but it was announced on the radio like it was real.

93.1 the fox in Louisville, KY said the same thing about the rumored 25 dates on the radio today. They said that they heard it from a confirmed source in the industry. Hope this is true...

I have a few pair of Guns N' Roses 1980's era sunglasses. I've heard they used to have them on tour in 88', but I can't find ANYTHING on them. I'm going to sell a couple of pair if anyone is interested before I list them online.

I have a feeling this might be true. I might actually plan a trip around this....points for wishful thinking, eh?

As I put in my post earlier, the 80's with something to prove Axl has to come back for this tour. If he comes back in 09-14' form it will ruin it for me/everyone else involved in my opinion. I'm pretty sure he's taking time off to get back in shape and get his vocals in check, but just in case he reads this I want him to be extra motivated. I saw him in Vegas in 2001 after he was out of shape in his Rio comeback, and came back completely shredded with his vocals honestly sounding better than ever. Even Silkworms sounded great, because he had that raw power in his voice. We need any Axl from the 88,91,93, or 2001 to comeback and make this tour successful (hell I'll even take parts of 2006). It could be great, if Axl decides to put his heart and soul into it and not half ass it.

There's no way in hell Axl, TB, or Slash would let this whole thing blow up THAT MUCH if it was BS.

I guess this is the calm before the storm

It has to be. Way too many people claiming they've heard this or they've heard that. I can see this happening, but the only way it can be successful is if we get the mid-80's hungry Axl Rose ready to pounce on one of his biggest feats ever. If he comes back as the 2009-2014 Axl Rose, I don't see very many people caring too much. Get in shape and get that voice back man! I saw you do it when you came back in Vegas in 2001 after being out of shape in Rio....you can do it now!!!

I keep thinking how much I need to save up for this.

This is the correct link, sorry about the first one.

I've been tinkering around with a video I made and added some Axl and Buckethead to the mix. I think it fit together pretty nicely. Vimeo was having an 80's concept contest and I figured I would put this in the mix, but I really like how the harmonies of Axl/Buckethead turned out. It's not meant to go platinum or be taken too seriously, but I like the way it came out overall. I added a buddy of mine to the last section before the last Axl/Buckethead harmony and wasn't sure about it at first, but I thought it would be something different to have him rapping over a small part...anyways here it is..

I wonder if they will tour the States next? Did they say anything about making an announcement or who they negotiated with? I want this to be true.

Is it true that Slash stated he wouldn't do any interviews until his tour is over? I'm going to see him on October 3, so maybe I can ask him somehow..ha.

Do you still have the large available or any other shirts for sale? PM me if so, your box is full or just let me know. Thanks.

going on ebay.

How do you know it's bootleg? Usually bootlegs are worth more than the shirts officially sold at the show and more rare for sure. Can you provide some proof?

They didn't make that many of them. I believe they only sold them during the Use Your Illusion tour overseas and not in the US.

I also have this 92-93 dust n' bones shirt for sale. Let me know if you're interested...thanks.

I guess you can consider it a vintage XL..I honestly haven't seen any sizes for sale anywhere. That's why I'm thinking about keeping it.

forgot to add that in there...it's an XL.
