This. I am very happy that I had been patient and didn’t spent any money on the upcoming gigs in Germany. Today I decided that I definitely won’t go. 

Same, had there been some sort of change, maybe I would have made an effort to travel to Dublin. But I set my expectations very low, and thus this did not surprise me. 

You do know that he, Beta etc. are all just "yes-men". They manage what Axl wants to have managed. They probably just have a bit of freedom with the creation of merchandise.

If it's new music you're wanting, blame Axl, not these "yes-men". 

Honestly, they'll just strangle the market. They seem to think that a bank account of the average Joe is endless. But when rising prices, people will have their limits to what prices they can or are willing to pay. 

Was comtemplating going to Dublin. But ultimately decided it's useless to spend that much money. Had it been Nine Inch Nails or Radiohead, there would have been no question. At least they vary their setlists quite alot. One or two new songs aren't going to win me over anymore either. 

I really can't believe how powerful and better this sounds compared to the released version. Years wasted tinkering that only made it worse.

Really tiny venue. Should be cool for the ones that are able to go.

Looking forward to S&M2 with only a week to go! Travelling from the Netherlands on Thursday.

50% fuck you Jimmy Iovinne, 50% fuck you Bob Ezrin. 

100% it turns out Axl was right the whole time.

Honestly, in my opinion the songs are the same (and I still don't care for them too much). It does prove it was completely unnecessary to keep polising them though. 

Way too many words in the chorus. Other than that it's a likeable song to me.

This might just be a baseless opinion, but I kind of feel as though there are a bunch of talented selected musicians at work given a task to create this kind of music. And while they are good at what they do, is it really what they personally want? Hadn't had that feeling previously, but it crept up on me while listening to this multiple times.

Is perla getting money from the reunion ? She and Slash divorced before the Reunion so surely she isn't entitled to anything from the reunion specifically. And no Axl doesn't own Slash. 

One word= alimony.

Fun fact=

I went to the pop-up store in London and because I was one of the first so-many, I received a free T-shirt. It was the ugliest tour T-shirt that they had on sale at the merch booths of the gigs. So I went to one of the merch booths with my shirt and said I regretted buying that one and was able to exchange it for the local date one. 

This is an incredible album. Been playing it on repeat since it came out. 

I believe vocals are probably last to be recorded. Speculation is fun, but a confirmed sight of Brian or Axl in Vancouver will put the speculation to rest. Simmer down guys

Insane that all this stuff is leaking, sadly haven´t been able to get my hands on any of it though.

Its so easy to blame one side when you don't have all the facts. 

For all we know part of Izzy's negotiations were a limit on touring. 

 

I mean the band has been touring for over 2 years now..  Do you guys really think Izzy would have done that or wanted to?   He hasn't toured in 25 fucking years.   

 

The only thing we know for sure is we don't know the whole story.   Jumping to conclusions is silly and childish. 

 

I'm not saying A/S/D aren't to blame,  but hey.   Maybe they're not?   Like Izzy said sometimes things don't work out.   It sucks but you move on.

You do know that Izzy called upon Axl’s bullshit and said that negatiations fell through because they didn’t want to split the money equally?

Someone dropped the ball in negotiations 

No, someone (Philip Anschultz) offered big money for Axl, Slash & Duff to reunite. Those three simply did not want to split the money equal amongst original members when the offer was already on the table. And had I been in Izzy's shoes, I would tell them to f#ck off aswell. He's part of the reason they are able to play these shows for that kind of money in the first place, having been a creator of the product they're pushing. But I guess having golden swimming pools is more important to some then celebrating the past together.

Very well done. You deserve a huge thanks and applause for all the hard work! Looking forward to the dvd/blu.

Streaming till the super deluxe comes down to a reasonable price. I’m in no hurry. Even if it was half the price, I still wouldn’t bother with the locked n loaded version.

AFD remaster. That is all.

Izzy and Steven aren’t joining the band until this well has run dry. 

Not happening. Their main competitor Download has booked them. I’m glad there’s no competition on Belgium, as the lineup of Graspop is insane! Hollywood Vampires just confirmed themselves as well.

Goddamnit. No GC tickets for Nijmegen without ridiculous early entry surcharge? I'm not paying €325,- for GC!

I managed to score GC for Nijmegen in the presale (no early entry), but they sold out pretty quick. This year at Nijmegen I checked a few days before the concert and there were GC tickets available again. Also plenty on TicketSwap. Just be patient!

Extremely well done!! Very much looking forward to seeing the whole gig.

The range with which he sang Free Fallin back then, is completely gone from his voice now.

Please god, no cover of Free Fallin with Mickey. They'd have to rename it to Free Failin
