Kula2006

It would be too bad if Slash and Duff wouldn't use their reownded power over GnR for something productive or to force Axl to do sth productive...

After this tour it's pretty clear that any other frankenstein GnR group without Slash and Duff is bound to fail completely (or would anyone of you still go to a show with a new Nu Gnr combination that just includes Axl?!) so Axl needs the other two guys for any future gnr projects (if he wants them to be successfull)...

speaking for myself, it would be ok if it's only a on-time-only thingy, but i'm sure most of the diehard AFD-lineup fans would go to riot

 

...that means they are big asshole per se for you? -cause they have 8 out of 11 songs from AFD at the setlist the whole NITLT tour long, so 3 more songs would make a difference

The difference to the NITLT tour is that this show is specifically announced as 30th anniversary show for AFD - an album non of the others had anything to do with... 

I would say skip melissa and dizzy completely for these shows - I'm pretty sure that steven will be there too - not sure bout Izzy if he's  there I expect max 1 or 2 songs with the original 5.

The future will definitly show us what this reunion was all about. If there's nothing going on afterwards it's pretty clear that this has all been just a big cashgrab and nothing else.

Please no Slash solo stuff again - after these gnr shows I don't want to see Myles butchering GnR songs again...

Oh, boohoo... you poor rich people getting confronted with the commoner riff raff, who can't afford those hotels and has to stay outside to catch a glimpse. Way to show your arrogance. Anybody coming and going could easily enter and leave the Hotel.

To be honest the place was pretty full at around 13.00/13.30 - I don't think they could have handeled all the people standing there in case one of the 3 really would have come out and people would have gone crazy.

hm why the hell did I do a photo with Beta? 

several reasons without order of importance

I was standing there since 8 am so I was already there for like 2 hours when beta came out of the hotel for the 1st time. I never saw here before. She is the closest to Axl so I thought why not take a picture with beta

2) I asked her wether Axl would come out afterwards and talked a bit about viennese sweets and so on. she was very nice 

3) I saw it as a "warm up" photo. but then only Frank came back to the hotel. didn t care at all. When the Dizzy Richard and Melissa came out of the hotel I wanted only a selfie with Richard and Dizzy. Dizzy didn t turn his head to us.. but Richard was supernice and I got my photo with him. 

no big 3 photos that day unfortunately. 

I suppose some people do photos with Beta just because of her connection to Axl and maybe because she looked after him when nobody knew what he was doing...

I totaly understand what you mean - I woud never do that and one of the main reasons is that I don't wanna give her the impression that she is super important for the band and some kind of gnr vip. She might have been there and important for Axl in the time after the split but I still partly blame her that we didn't get this reunion 5 to 10 years earlier.

They will if they bring a kick ass new album over with them

Not in this lifetime 

Vienna concert was also great - not as good as prague but as it was my hometown concert and I met a lot of people there it didn't bother me so much that the concert wasn't that long as the one prague.

Also waited in front of the hotel to maybe meet one of the big 3 - as Axl did a lot of photos and autographs the day before. To bad I just saw the rest of the band  - no Axl/Slash/Duff. Frank even came out at around 12 to do some pictures but I didn't bother to get one with him. One thing I was really wondering: Why the hell do people want to take pictures with Beta?!?

So all I got is a short video of alle the others driving to the soundcheck

To bad the NITL tour is over for me - saw two absolutely great concerts  - the sad thing is - even if they come back to europe next year - they will never reach that level of excitement again (ever in this lifetime  ) 

The timetable in vienna has also been corrected - so don't expect anything it just means the show lasts a bit longer - that's it - nothing special

So tomorrow's finally the day =)

 

Haven't really been following the live threads of the other shows because I wanted the setlist to be a bit of a surprise (last time I saw them I knew pretty much the whole order beforehand).

Can any of you guys tell me when Guns normally entered the stage?

19:30 as start sounds mighty early.

As they have played a more than 3 hours set the last concerts they have to be on time as they have to finish at 23 latest there

I'm the fu**ing happiest man alive right now. After the Information that the plane already landed I headed to the Hyatt Vienna where AXL/DC was staying last year. 50 people or so were there waiting. I don't know how many minutes were gone because I was too excited after the big cars came to the Hotel. Then finally Axl came out to give every fan either an autograph or a pic. I took a pic with him and my mum was so nice that she let him sign my mobile case. So goddamn happy that I met God in person. Looking forward for tommorrow. Went to Hannover and it was soooooooo good. Sorry for the long text just wanted to get it off my heart! Have fun, rock on and see you tommorrow at Ernst Happel!✌?

Are all of them staying at Hyatt Vienna??

Ouch. Cool glass though. Pretty sad that everyone tries to get as much as they can out of people at every turn. Things were better before napster.

The facebook page posted this video of the band walking to the stage before the show. It's just so amazing to see that even after 15 months back together they're all happy, chilled and getting along, all walking together, laughing and interacting. And it's pretty crazy to see Slash turn around to specifically put his arm around and hug Beta right before he hits the stage. It's a long way from the 2006 nightime drunk encounter between the two; Beta and Axl relaying everything Slash said publicly and possibly causing the beginning of the end for VR; not to mention MSL's call with Beta where she ranted non-stop about Slash and VR. 

 

 

This is typical music business behaviour - as long as things are working fine everyone is friends with one another - money can heal a lot of wounds in that case. We will see how tight they really are as soon as we have the first crisis or when the excitement of  the first years is gone...

Went to the 4 season at ~11 - no people outside - a lot of gnr fans on the streets in the city center - weather is also perfect today for concerts

Do they live in the Four Seasons Hotel in Prague?

Hey guys I will travel from vienna to the concert on saturday - which rock clubs/bars could you recommand in the city center for saturday night? (if there are any)

Just because some seats are not selling fast doesn't mean a show doesn't sell well - I know enough people that would rather not go to a show than to buy overprieced seating tickets.... Maybe thats different in the us

In my opinion this is the last great hype surrounding this band - it will not get any better than nowadays

After the 2017 leg of the tour they should either release an album or drop ticket prices to still be able to sell out big venues - but reunion factor will be over after it...

Paied Meet and Greets are bullshit  anyway - know a lot of people who went to wwe tour, slipknot etc and all of them said that its not worth the money..

Another friend of mine is thinking about buying a VIP ticket for kiss next year - over 1000 euro and you can take a picture with gene. Would be interesting how much you guys would be willing to pay if there would be meet and greet tix (incl the big 3)

I hate to tell you there is no "big paycheck" waiting for Skid Row, there's minimal demand for them to actually reunite.   It sounds great to us that may have enjoyed the genre, but the people who buy tickets to see bands nowadays don't give a shit about Skid Row.  Opening for GnR would be the highlight of any such reunion for them.  Otherwise, they can tour on their and play theaters or do the summer thing in sheds with several other acts from the era, that's their ceiling.  

Bahaha, I hadn't even read what you said when I posted what I did

of course we are not talking about gnr type of money here - I would say they would double their attandance figures with a baz reunion - here in vienna I would estimate they would now play in front of ~1000 people

I'm not even sure if a supportband for the gnr would get any money for it - maybe they would even have to pay to support gnr...

Reunited Skid Row would be amazing - too bad I don't think that will happen - IF Baz reunites it will be for the "big paycheck" only and they wouldn't get it as supportband.

It would be the like this version of gnr just touring as supportband for the rolling stones...

There are still tickets available from time to time just have a look at the oeticket.com page - but you gotta be fast in case there are some spare tickets left..

Didn't ask for a specific date - it's enough for me to know that they will come to my hometown next summer
