Quotes two and five:  One-fifth of all publishing of the #1 debut-selling album of all time?  Adler.  Laying down the party feel and groove to arguably the greatest hard rock album of all time?  Adler.  Taking pride in the music and the four other musicians who created and recorded it?  Adler.  The only one who says whatever the fuck he pleases and is still rn’r?  Adler.

Quick, but fun, legal facts to snuff out myth propagated in this thread by the few (I am NOT directing this at the three remaining quotes, merely answering their questions along the way) as users visit for news related to this viral marketing campaign imagined and launched by Universal:

LiveNation is the legal entity acting as promoter for the NITL tour.  Period.  No one’s personal “manager” is promoting the tour any more than you and I are by speaking or writing about it.  Universal is promoting the matter that it says will be divulged on Friday.

Slash maintains his own separate management and counsel apart from D/A.  Duff has his own separate management and counsel apart from S/A.  The singer is managed by his live-ins. The singer’s manager(s), thus, do not manage Slash or Duff.  Full stop.

The partnership formed by S/D/A can promote (or authorize third parties on its behalf, such as Universal) any and all endeavors using the imagery/artwork depicting the likeness of Adler and Izzy.  The S/D/A p’ship owns the back catalogue (AFD-UYI).  S/D/A control p’ship assets for licensing, synch and merch for all purposes, including promotional. 

Adler was unlawfully removed from the original p’ship, and thoroughly trounced S/D/A in legal proceedings, including for damages.  Izzy sold his equity share to S/D/A in ‘91.  A financially wise move—for the next quarter century.  Both Adler and Izzy maintain publishing royalties.

The singer owns the mark Guns n’ Roses.  He pirated it in a ’92 MOU to the p’ship agreement, and S/D failed to bring a colorable claim within Cali’s four-year statute of limitations.  Legal averments in pleadings (that were not denied by the singer’s counsel, and therefore deemed admitted) prove that the singer formed a new band on NYD ’96 and registered a new p’ship.  His new legal entity controlled the use of its assets after ’96, which translates to 15 songs, 14 of which landed on Wikipedia’s list of worst all-time albums.  The singer never controlled the back catalogue or original p’ship assets, though attempted to do so, and was met with litigation brought by Original Remaining Partners S/D, losing once again.  The S/D/A p’ship continued throughout with S/D in effect the majority.  This is why, e.g., the singer could not license songs or merchandize S/D/A logos and artwork.  To simplify, from NYD ’96 until 2016, there were two biz entities d/b/a Guns n’ Roses:  1. S/D/A and 2. Rose’s solo band (having legal use of the mark Guns n’ Roses—be it for a line of shorty-shorts, pianos or any other endeavor).

Each of these myths fester in stench on the pages in this thread.  One need not wonder long why a handful of users distract the rest with myth even when, in this case, it’s a release of some sort by Universal.  All that to get to this:  has the singer lost his mind?  He agreed with S/D to rerelease new-old music and potentially a few notes of new-new music?  Not in this lifetime.

Do you think he is going to include NEW music with this re-release, or what do you think it is exactly? Thanks for the post.

Anyone want to trade a Chicago for Louisville, or Louisville for another US poster? Thanks

I'm actually down with this. I've already started sending it out to some people, because it sounds so good. Damn man, at least give us the remix album you've had hidden away for years!

I wish I could hear this somehow...ahhh..my favorite song off of Chinese Democracy!

I have some Louisville lithos (which look great in person, underrated really) for trade. PM is interested.

Louisville or possibly a St. Louis litho for a Chicago??? Anyone?? Huge MJ fan, would love to have one if someone can pick one up for me!?

Got to take my wife, sister, and mom (her first time seeing them) to this show. I've seen them all over the US, and they FINALLY came to my hometown of Louisville, KY. For the people above me, Louisville has A LOT going for it. They really missed out on what they could've done with the lithograph (Kentucky Derby, all of the bourbons they had to choose from, our glorified b-ball teams, etc)...Axl sounded great, and I met up with a lot of people that I haven't seen in years, that all agreed that this was the best show they had ever seen. Axl sounded killer on "This I Love", as he belted out a 10+ second note towards the end. Madagascar was awesome as well....just wish he could hold out the Live and Let Die screams like he used to back in 02'. 

I have a couple of Louisville lithos that I picked up at the show. Would love to trade with someone again on here..

I’ll be there, can’t wait to see the artwork. I’m guessing it has something to do with horses and the jockeys faces being skulls, or something of that nature.

Between 3-3 1/2, setlist depending. I think the show ended around 10:45 last night, and they went on at 7:20. The third MSG show they went on at about 8 and the show ended at 11:30.

Thanks brother! I appreciate the additional information. I just hope the litho looks good. Does anyone know who is doing the art this time around?

Doors have typically been 6:30, but they opened at 6:00 in DC and GN'R went on at 7:20. I would make sure you're at the venue by 7, just to be safe.

I'm not used to them going on so early, ha. I guess I will need to take a half day, just to pre-game a little before the show, since it is on a Friday. I'm curious if they will stay in Louisville, KY, since the next show isn't until three days later. I'm guessing the usual 3 hour set as well? I've been following all of the set-list(s), just wasn't sure when they've been finishing up exactly.

Just curious, but do doors open at 6pm at every arena on this tour? Is GN’R always on between 7:30 and 7:45 with no opener? I’m just trying to get prepared for the Louisville show. Thanks.

I will trade a St. Louis for a San Francisco as well. Please PM me. I've traded with other users on here as well, so just let me know. Thanks.

I have a couple of St. Louis lithos I bought at the gig last night. if anyone wants to trade, specifically Nashville or Cincinnati if possible, I'm up for it for sure. Thanks.

My presale code: GNRTMGJHWTFL

Thank you, Kris. Do you guys think the Citi presale will open up better seats? I'm not trying to be too picky or selective, but it seems like Citi almost has better seats then GN'R's own fanclub! Thanks again, Kris! I might pull the trigger on some tonight. I'm just not sure if I should risk it and wait until the Citi presale to buy them.

In other words, ANY possible way I can get access to someones Nightrain they aren't using for this show to score some tickets?!?!! I would owe someone! I have paypal, lol!

What is the best option to get first dibs on these tickets? Is citicard just as good as a Nightrain membership? I scored some nice seats for St. Louis through citi, but LOUISVILLE is my hometown, and they have NEVER played here before. I really want to get first dibs. My phone has been blowing up all day about it. Thanks in advance.

I meant to add this to my post: 

 

They are section 143 row CC  the front row of the section if you look on the seating chart), seats 15-22. I ordered the entire row, but two people can't make it. If you get them, you will be seated next to some hardcore gunners! These are the seats directly behind the 250.00 seats, so they are the best seats you can get for 150.00. I bought them as soon as the presale started, so I lucked out on them. The entire section is sold out now. Just let me know what you think...thanks

Tickets I had listed are SOLD.

Tickets I had listed are SOLD.

for the people getting lithos before the show...are you getting them at a certain place every time? I remember going to Nashville way before anything and trying to find the litho everywhere, but finally figured out that the GN'R trailer was the only place selling them, and I was too late at that point. Is that still going to be the case? I actually want to score some when they come back to the US this time.

I'm going!  I need 1 or 2 more Slash side Pit tickets for my expanding entourage.  Anyone selling?  

I know you want pit, but I have the next best thing! Front row of my section next to the stage! Let me know

I have a couple of tickets available for ST. LOUIS, since a couple of people can't make it. We are in the front row of our section (I bought the entire row), next to the stage. They are GREAT seats, and you don't have to worry about anyone being in front of you or anything else. These were the next best thing to the pit in my opinion. I just want face value for them, so please PM if you're interested. Thanks.
