On Friday Duff was shopping for couple hours, and Slash had dinner in the restaurant Groteski. Slash had a bodyguard with him and didn't give any autographs.

Short article about the local crew, which consists of 800 employees and 80 volunteers.
GNR crew is almost 100 people.

Another article (in Finnish) about the exhibition:
It includes some kind of studio guide written by Izzy!
I hadn't heard such thing even exists... It could be just a tiny piece of paper, but significant stuff nonetheless, as far as rock music history goes.

Who is playing lead guitar on Bambi? That shit kicks Ass!! RIP Prince!!
That's a great question. Both Bambi & Cracked Actor are on the Believe In Me CD-single, but it doesn't have any info about the musicians. No luck on discogs.com either.

If it's CD2, I'd suggest "Sea Of Horrors"
If its all-new stuff, "Stay Of Execution"

Looney Tunes is awesome! Everybody Knows is as well, but for me it's linked to the old band... So I like both, but for current use I'd vote for Looney.

Based purely on YT footage, I think overall the shows were great. There's always things you can improve, but positive outweighs the negative imo.
Now the band is not just interesting, but even a bit exciting. I've been more or less bored with those musicians' separate careers, and I'm happy to feel like they're now able to capture at least some of the magic they once had.
If I was to nitpick the shows, including details that don't even matter that much, it would go like so:
PROS:
Band all in all sounds great
Axl sounds great. Some weaker moments, best moments amazing
Slash sounds amazing
Duff sounds amazing
Fortus sounds great
Ferrer is mostly good
Melissa seems to sound good
Lineup seems promising
Especially Axl seems genuinely happy
Coma
Nurses
Set flows quite well, less instrumental jams and shorter breaks
CONS:
Advertising is intentionally misleading, it’s not the old band
Corporate feel to the show visually
Highlighting 3 members makes it seem like a trio
Selling new AFD merch is annoying
Ticket prices and some of merch screams cash grab
Having 3 AFD skulls on video screen is a terrible idea
Most of animated videos are horrible
Dancers are unnecessary
Some clumsy-ish moments, new lineup
Ferrer seems bit lost at times and drums are too fast on several songs
Second keyboard player/special effects person is still unnecessary
Too many ballads in the set

Then Maybe the other one could be Richard's daughter, Duff did talk before that Richard's kids were also around the age of his kids.
Seems it's Shade's friend, she mentions it in the comments:

Was this part of the VIP Package? or they are groupies and somehow managed to get a pic with Fortus and Reed?
In that pic the person second left is Dizzy's daughter Shade. Don't know about the other woman

Axl was never into entertaining guests before the show, he's doing all the preparation shit while Slash and Duff have always taken this time to have some social life with whoever was around so that doesn't surprise me. Also probably watching Axl training his vocal ranges or having massages isn't that very interesting.
Wonder why they spent that time in the bus instead of in the club though...
Maybe because of the pic? That must have been pre-planned..

I hear Brian Johnson is available.

That was, to quote Mama2haileybug, absolutely amazing.

Still better than Pitman.
I'm very thankful for the keyboard section of the band. Reed and Reese - the true stars of the band. What would Guns N' Roses be without bongos and sub-bass?
Your name seems vaguely familiar.. Anyway, I'm fine with Melissa. After all, gentlemen prefer blondes.
