Trying to figure out if VIP is worth it. I'm reading that you have front access to the Oak Stage if you buy VIP, but is this where Guns will be playing, since they will have three stages going? I'm about to pull the trigger, but I think that makes or breaks it being worth it.

Not gonna happen... 

Like I said days ago, it’s happening. Hopefully a start of a new set list, and a new SINGLE.

Headliner will be announced on Thursday.

Slash played at Louder than Life a few years back in Louisville, KY and again with GN'R in 2017. I think he put in a good word for our city, because of the awesome reception that he received when he was here. A ton of high end bands have headlined the festival, and it continues to get bigger each year. I was pumped for NIN coming last year, but since it was flooded out, we never got a chance to see them. We also have Bourbon and Beyond coming up with the Foo Fighters headlining that festival this year, and I know that Louder than Life are trying to top them in terms of who they have. GN'R would be a huge get, and the rumor has been circulating for a good while now. Just hoping that we get that new single debut!!

The 2018 festival was cancelled due to flooding:

 

 

The festival is on different grounds this year. No chance of that happening this time.

It’s happening. This is where I live, and a couple of people have slipped up on the announcement.

Dont have that shirt sadly but is any of your other stuff for sale? or anything else you're after for trade? pm?

Yes, I would trade/sell some of my items. You can PM me on here, and we can work something out. I had trouble uploading pictures on here before, so it might be easier that way. 

I'd like to get a size Large if possible. I have a ton of shirts from this era and older for trade, as well as lithographs. I've traded on here before, and would love to again. Thanks

I have a couple of the St. Louis posters/lithographs that a friend picked up at the show with me. He wants to ebay it, but I figured I would throw it out there if someone wants one before he puts it on there. Just let me know..

The solo that kicks in around the 30 second mark is unreal. It blends in perfectly with the orchestration. I can't wait to hear a studio version of this...I'm a huge fan of movie scores, like Axl, and I loved the direction he was going in with this material. It makes me want "Seven" w/ Marco Beltrami even more. Good stuff here.

from what I heard, the 29th show was plagued with problems and they nearly left the stage a couple of time due to difficulties.

the following 31st show was reportedly perfect and on fire.

of course they recorded everything... 

I just saw where you said “no known recording”, which we haven’t seen yet, but we do know it was recorded/pro-shot. The only sound problems were when his mic went out on Oh My God, and when Finck threw his guitar out of frustration...other than that, the show was the best I’ve ever seen. It was my first show at 17 years old, and I’ve seen every lineup since. Silk Worms is an entirely different animal live, and it was played to perfection that night.

2001 shows recorded as follows:

2001-01-01 - House of Blues, Las Vegas, Nevada - proshot video, audience audio

2001-01-15 - Rock in Rio 3, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil - proshot video

2001-12-29 - The Joint, Las Vegas, Nevada - no known recording

2001-12-31 - The Joint, Las Vegas, Nevada - no known recording

They have a recording of the 12/29/01 show somewhere. I was there, and they had guys filming the entire show. Axl was on top of his game, as I’ve stated before, and THIS show would be the holy grail for sure.

I have to find these. I’ve been searching for hours! Ahhh

Dkdkd

I meant to put that I haven’t heard the studio cuts. I think Silk Worms would be awesome!

Can you post pics @grogmug?

It won’t let me upload pics from my phone on here for some reason..I’ll have to try it from my Mac.

As soon as I get back in town, I will post pics of the shirt(s). Sorry it's taking so long, but I will get them up in the next couple of days.

I am interested in the shirt from the 12/29/01 show. Is it the same shirt they had at the 12/31/01 show?  I was there and didn't get a shirt or lithograph and would like to obtain both. Let me know, I have plenty of things to trade.

Yes, it’s the same shirt that they sold at both shows. You can pm me pics of what you have if that works.

I bought the Buckethead G&R shirt (says G&R) on the back, at the Columbus, OH 2002 show. I haven't seen it for sale or listed anywhere since. I remember the merch guy telling me that they made a very limited run of these shirts, so I was seeing if anyone was interested in trading...hopefully for the 1-1-01 shirt or maybe something similar. I have shirts form the 12/29/01 show as well, with the entire band names listed, including Buckethead. Just wanted to throw it out there...thanks.

I've always wondered if we'd ever hear/see leaks from this gig (besides the few pics floating around). How did the band sound that night?

They sounded phenomenal, and Axl was still extremely mobile, even on the small stage. He was sounding killer on “Oh My God”, before his mic went out and he preceded to throw a tantrum backstage (I was up front on the side, so from my angle, I could see him stomping the hell out of the microphone). My dad was with me, and oddly enough, he thought Silk Worms was unbelievable live, in which it was. He still asks about it to this day, if it will ever come out ha..Axl still had the six pack going, and obviously cared a bit more about his physical appearance during this time period. I remember sneaking down to the gym at around 3am the night before, and Axl was training/kickboxing with his old bodyguard and Vanessa was keeping watch at the door. I’ve seen plenty of shows over the years since then, but the 12/29/01 show is by far the best I’ve ever seen by anyone ever.

My first show was the 12/29/01 show in Vegas, when I was 17. Let me tell you, Axl WAS more inspired then, than he was now with Axl/DC. I know he has some good stuff in the vault from this period. I really want to hear SEVEN or THE GENERAL the most... I would pay to hear what he has been holding back all of these years for sure, but not quite that much.

All 49 unreleased tracks from the Appetite era? They have to give us at least ONE new song, right???? I was one of five people to wait outside of Best Buy in 2008 for CD, damn it!!!!! If it’s just one new track, I’ll wait again.....well, I’m going to wait anyway, but still...just give us something! 

Anyone have the Chicago MJ GN'R shirt? I would trade one of my posters for one. Please let me know! Thanks in advance.

Here whats been posted on fb. Sounds about right.

Rumors say that there's going to be a remaster release of Appetite + a booklet of photos/memorabilia as a collage (collection of photos) and possibly a bonus CD with remastered demos and live recordings + possibly a bonus DVD with live footage and (maybe) the Troubadour reunion show. Around $150.00. And it might include some merchandise like a T-shirt,

so, nothing new....damnn
