I believe all the shows were changed to 730 at some point. There's no opener and GNR have been going on at or near 730, so be prepared for that. 

cool, thanks for the info

The tickets I bought from stub hub have an 8 PM start time. Is that what everyone else's tickets show? The start time was changed to 7:30 PM recently?

That is because so far on this arena leg there have been no openers.

Really? I guess thats good if it means more GNR. Thanks for the info.

Who's the open for this leg of the tour? Who opened for the NY and NJ shows, and who will open for the Boston show? Is there an opener, I can't find this info anywhere.

So, I can't seem to find a list of the openers for the upcoming NA shows. Does anyone know who is opening for the upcoming Boston show later this month, and the NY shows?

those vids that look pro-shot are from the video screens at the shows

Its Slash - Axl- Duff...Guns n fucking Roses for the most part...all i ever wanted.  Set lists- see my 1st sentence.  They are kicking ass again!

Exactly. I don't get why some people still have to complain. Izzy and Duff were gone from GNR long, long ago, throughout most of the UYI tours. Did people complain that the lineup with Sorum and Gilby where not GNR? They sure as heck were! That was the lineup most people saw before the Axl-Slash breakup. That's basically the lineup we have now but with two better musicians in Fortus and Frank than Sorum and Gilby. Dizzy has been here forever. Get over it. Axl-Slash-Duff-Dizzy plus a rhythm guitarist and drummer is GNR. I myself TOTALLY LOVE this tour. The band I saw this month is AMAZING, and it IS GNR.

Nobody aged better than Lenny Kravits.

 

yeah, I mean, he didn't even age at all somehow

Prepare to wait at least 2-3 hours no matter where you park. The alternative is to take the Rally Bus from South station. It will leave 45 minutes after the show is over, but it will get out of there fast enough. 

It would be great promotion for the band at this stage in their careers and at this day and age. Would any GNR fans not buy tickets because of the opener? Hell no. Would any non-GNR or casual fans buy tickets because someone like Lana Del Rey is opening. Yes, most definitely. It can shift the tour and the audience from being a nostalgia tour of middle-aged metal heads to a totally popular 'in the now' tour with a mixed crowd. 

She does have a song named "Guns n Roses" and she's a huge fan

does anyone have a recording of the whole show?

What time are they supposed to go on tonight?

For everyone saying Slash was too quiet, the dude has to be, because of his pacemaker:

“When the doctors put the defibrillator in me, it was for maintaining a normal heart rate. For most people this isn’t a problem, but it was for me.

“Once I get up onstage my heart rate sky-rockets. When I took the stage with Michael and got into it, I was suddenly hit in the chest by a shock and my vision flooded with electric blue light.

“This happened about four times during each song, and I had no idea what was going on.

“I thought I had a short-circuit in a guitar cable or a photographer’s flash had popped in my eyes.

“Each time it happened I had to stand there and make it look as if everything was normal. I saw it later on TV and you couldn’t tell, so I guess I pulled it off.

“It was extremely disconcerting until I figured out what was what.”

You can imagine that his heart rate could have easily skyrocketed during last nights show if he was not careful!

All looks TOTALY revitalized!! WOW!! I haven't seen him like that since the UYI tour. Maybe being away from these guys weighed more heavily on him than we thought. On every post UYI show I've seen up until last night, he looked either bored , irritated, out of it, or too mellow, but last night he looks like the Axl of old!

I'm still a bit in disbelief and bracing myself for several potential disasters that tend to follow Axl and this band, like Axl not showing up, or a riot, or a fight onstage, or just Axl sounding like shit. I hope none of those things happen, but I honestly can't get too excited until they manage to play a show or two without any disasters. If they do, then shit's real and I'll be totally excited.

If Slash, Axl, Duff, and whoever else they round up actually pull off a reunion, they should absolutely play the last 3 songs of CD live. Madagascar , This I Love, and Prostitute were made to be plaid by the old lineup. They cover topics that are either from the time of the old lineup, and/or about the old lineup. I would love to see it. What do you guys think?

Looks like he hates taking pics with those people.... yet he keeps allowing photos with him....

well, he's making an effort for his fans, I respect him for it. He may realize that as much as it may be a nuisance to him, it's a huge deal to those fans

I wonder if Axl has been taking medication for his bipolar disorder. Those medications make you gain weight, and often make your mood a bit similar to how Axl seems these days.

sure, Duff's not the best songwriter, but if getting him back in the band also brings Izzy back, then we're talking when it comes to songwriting.

WTF? Is that Ingo Rademacher in the middle?

It is certainly intriguing that multiple people who worked on or heard the album prior to its release stated that the strongest tracks of the entire bunch were some of the ones that remain unreleased.

Bach and Brain listed The General as their favorite (or one of the best)

Marco Beltrami worked on Seven, Soul Monster, The General, and Thyme. Stated that Seven was the best of the bunch.

Axl said that Soul Monster may be his favorite of the group

Pitman listed "Beta's Barn"

I believe Tom Zutaut said Atlas Shrugged was one of the better songs

I think Axl said in the chats that "Checkmate" was a bogus titile, the working title of that song was Jackie Chan

Why would a band do that?

A comeback album, which took over a decade to release, your trying to jumpstart (and introduce) an entire new band to the public that will make them get over what happened with Duff/Slash/Izzy...........and you purposely choose NOT to put the best songs on it? And not only that, you then sit on those "best songs" for another decade????? It really makes no sense.

Because there was a ton of legal crap surrounding the release of CD, and maybe Axl threw them off track to what the best songs were, gave them some of the easier listening pop tracks and said fuck off.

thanks, I fixed the link

I can't make it so I put them for sale at stubhub at a good price so that a couple of fans can enjoy the show. If anyone is interested, go to:
