Vegas 2 is my favorite Slash solo from the improvised songs.

how did you get tickets?

I just waited outside for hours.

I'm hanging out outside in front of GameStop on the side.

I'll be hanging around outside the venue just for the fun of it. It's not far at all from where I live.

Did they ever announce anything about winners? I haven't seen an email so I can safely say I didn't win.

Both shows were great. I was way the hell up on Saturday night and a few rows from the stage on Sunday. The sound was solid in both places. Axl sounded better on Sunday for sure. Slash's This I Love solo was better as well.

I know I'm in the minority, but I hate Coma. It's cool to place something that hasn't been played in a long time, but it's 10 minutes long and he just doesn't sound good on it. I'd rather have two other songs.

Had a good time at both shows. I have a friend that works for Livenation. Ended up leaving with a VIP box from the expensive ticket and these little cloth things from the meet and greets.

I'm a big fan of Slash's solo in the April 9th This I Love. Ranks right up there with Finck's for me. It just works.

I'll be at both Jersey shows. Up high the first night, floor second.

In terms of live, I like the 2006 versions quite a bit better than anything after 1988. My focus is on Axl and Finck's solo. I like the studio version the best, though.

I hate Dead Horse.

Can anyone name a singer that actually sings better with age?

So many bands tune down there guitars to accomadate the singer as they get older.

I think Grohl's singing ability has definitely improved over 20 years. That could come with his confidence, though. Axl was always confident. Grohl wasn't.

Also I don't think Springsteen has changed so drastically. I like it better now I think. It sounds even more every-man.

Fortus is the only one whose solo I'll actually listen to when I put on a live CD or watch a concert. I'd take his playing over Ron's or DJ's any day of the week.

And I think Slash is exceptional. So fucking what.

He needs someone younger and smarter that doesn't cater to him like a two year old. It'll never happen.

I listened to that whole album yesterday. I didn't like it at all. It sounds like one continuous song and there aren't any catchy as fuck choruses like the last one. Dark Paradise is a great song.

I bet metallica is up there. Of course Enter Sandman but I know I've heard the riffage from For Whom The Bell Tolls too.

I guess I was just questioning locally. Guns seems to be used across the board, though. Every stadium, every game. It's quite interesting to me.

You've got some awesome shots of Axl.

Couple great pics there. I like them a lot.

Queen also came up, but personally I've only heard three. Bohemian, We Will Rock You, and Champions.

We missed AC/DC. They're pretty close.

I want to say I've hear that ad Live and Let Die before, but only the part where it picks up before the "what does it..." part.

Is there an artist or band that has more songs played in sports stadiums regularly than Guns N' Roses? I was arguing with a friend about it.

Regularly played:

Jungle

SCOM

Paradise City

You can pretty much guarantee these at any sporting event.

Heard more than once:

Brownstone (intro mostly)

Out Ta Get Me

Hair of the Dog

Nightrain

At least one of these is played at every game I attend. Some of these may be local in terms of their play, but some aren't. I heard Out Ta Get Me at least twice in the NHL playoffs so far. Brownstone intro was played in the current NBA game, game 3, on ABC. I have no doubt heard Hair of the Dog and It's So Easy in Cleveland sports games. I'm pretty sure Indians primarily.

My buddy and I couldn't think of anyone even close to having at LEAST seven "pump up" songs in sports. We figured Ozzy is close if you count Black Sabbath, too. And they occasionally play stuff like Kanye or Jay Z, but mostly in the "here's the new hit song, we're hip because we play it" kind if way. So we guessed probably three or four in those cases.

Pointless thread? Absolutely. But we're drawing blanks.

I don't really give a shit what the info is regarding the end of Vegas or Ron. Nobody else should either.

The constant begging and shit isn't gettin anywhere. It only drives up the value of the so-called info. Same goes for the bootlegs that people are holding. If nobody gave a shit, nobody would give a shit. It's that simple.

If Ron leaves, good for him. Thank him for touring. Thank him for helping on the album. Thank him for his pleasant fan interactions. It's the best we can do. He put his solo career on hold for essentially 8 years to go nowhere but sideways. I mean, it's gotta be a pain in the dick to be a composer and tour constantly for 8 years playing songs you had no part in writing.
