Hmm I wouldn't know, though Stratford station is very close

Yes, it is, but when 40,000 people are using that station it might take a while.

I'm parking my car in Westfield for the gig then taking it to avoid any public transport mishap 

Yes. I guess that's best. It's gonna be hard to get from the stadium to the hotel quickly. Have you ever been there? I'm thinking if it will be better to go from Bow Road instead of Stratford, even though that involves a change of tube line.

Yeah. Gonna go there too afterwards... have some time to kill before flying back home at 7am.

Do you guys think there's any chance of Slash and Duff playing one song with AC/DC? 

Hmm not sure, if AC/DC ever have guests on stage... but who knows, seems like anything is possible.

Slash and Duff going to see Axl play with ACDC in the Olympic Stadium, London. Who would ever of thought this could be happening. Fuck me this year has been insane.

Oh, fuck me and I have decided to fly in just for the concert. A spur of a moment thing. Looks like it's paying off.

Has anyone been at the Olympic Park before? Do you reckon to get away quickly it's best to use the Stratford tube station or rather go to Bow Road station? Or doesn't it matter 'cause everything will be crowded anyway?

A total toolbag. Who cares what he thinks? He has no say in the matter? Axl is bringing everything. People are accepting and enjoying it. And whatever anyone thinks of Axl. He is rock n' roll and respectful of the Situation too.

Count me in for London... Also know a friend who is v/ good with meeting celebrities... He said he's gonna find out which hotel they'll be staying in if anybody's interested in me sharing that info with you lot

Yes. Please. Let me know.

I cant be sure but I presume it will be where ACDC always stay in London if Axl stays at the same hotel 

And where would that be?

And it was the only show without the rain . The long waiting in the hot weather was so worth it. I didn't want the show to end. 

Yeah. The weather in Prague was gorgeous. But really. It was raining in Bern and after a while I didn't notice or mind anymore, hope though it will be dry in London.

Put me down for London. Gotta add a third and last one. And this will be a first, flying in the day of the concert and leaving right the next morning at 7am. The first time I'm flying somewhere without having baggage and a hotel. 22 hours in London

@Andy14

Thanks. Yeah. I'm also biased towards that show, because I was there. But also if I wasn't. That was the show to be. We got an extra song and we got "Touch too much" and he was walking throughout.

The entire Prague show is on YouTube filmed by a guy in the front row with an awesome camera and Axl sounds brilliant throughout the entire show. I watched it the other day and it completely changed my opinion of that show.

Cool. Thanks. There is so much going on on Youtube and elsewhere. Impossible to keep up.

He sounds awesome again. Cracks or no cracks, he is sounding awesome night after night. I listened to the full Prague show, where his voice was deemed weaker or cracking, and he maintains an extremely high standard throughout the whole thing. amazing.

Where did you get that from? From Youtube or is there an audio only recording as well?

Why promote the pseudo-reunion? It's just a soulless cash-grab thing, and if the tickets are selling there is absolutely no reasoon why band members should invite awkward questions and have to fake enthusiasm.

What I find stranger is why Axl didn't do much promotion for nuGuns, after all that was supposedly his baby and a new chapter of GN'R. I guess it is as simple as Axl being completely fed up with media and couldn't be bothered dealing with it all. As I said, now he has to do it, and he knows for once media is on his side. With AXL/DC he can probably let his shoulders down a bit, he is just a guest there.

I'm not convinced that the GNR "reunion" is a "soulless cash-grab", as he seemed happy and was gazing at Slash, when he was playing, but with the rest of your post I agree... AC/DC is a glorified european vacation for him, with an easy pace of only 2 to 3 shows per week, playing with a hero of his and a good pay day.... and the US tour doesn't look much different.

Not Guns N' Roses.

Not to you and me, but to Axl and from a business point of view it was. And since GNR broke up over 20 years ago, it's obvious why there wasn't a GNR band pic in all those years.

That's certainly an optimistic spin on everything. While I don't agree with most of what you said, and history wouldn't really back you up, I do admire your ability to pull positives out of it all. Thank you for the well written response. 

With all due respect though:

1. Axl didn't take one full band picture in the last 20 years. 

2. How would an interview ruin or take away from the concerts? I'm not sure why you wouldn't respect Axl for doing an interview about what might be the biggest reunion in rock history. 

So if you respect Axl for not doing GnR interviews, does that mean you dont respect ACDC and Axl for doing their interviews?

NOW if Andy starts Bonk game one at state and Fousel game two - we could easily see a Ktn-Sitka state title. 3. We've got actually proof that Axl rehearsed with ACDC. Is there any proof at all that he has rehearsed with GnR? We know that back as far as Illusions that he rarely did. Obviously he must have practiced in his OWN. But did Axl join Ashba and Dizzy in a studio and practice for hours on end? Clearly not. 

4. I should have caveated that. Axl has been on time for a couple years. But pre-2013-ish he was pretty famous for being an hour to three hours late. 

1.

You were saying?? But really, why would he want to promote the fact that none of the original guys or guys the people knew, are in the band anymore? So the lack of band pics kinda was understandable.

2. It wouldn't, but also doesn't take away from the reunion that they don't. Most likely sometime down the line, they will.

3. Like it was pointed out, AC/DC is not his band, so he has no other choice. Wheras with GNR, it's his band and he knows his fucking songs... the guys have the get the music right. He doesn't need the band to learn the lyrics. But, as has been pointed out, there are rehearsal pics, so he must have joined some reunion rehearsals.

"and the current line-up of Angus Young, Cliff Williams, Stevie Young, Chris Slade and Axl Rose

I count that as a huge sign that Axl isn't just a temporary replacement.

Or maybe it only means that right now Axl is the guy singing for AC/DC. Really, this quoted sentence means nothing.

How the hell is it day and night at the same gig, was it a 8 hours? because the sun couldn't set to pitch dark blackness in summer in under 2 hours. Or is that some fancy stadium with a roof?

No roof. The show started at 20:15 and was over at 22:30. So obviously the sun set during the course of the show. It was pretty much clouded anway.

if his voice can make it through 88, it can make it through anything.  I would say its bullet proof at this point.

Well. If he couldn't make it through 12 shows in 1 month and a week, then it would be time for him to hang it up anyway.

The whole 'satanic'/'devil-worshipping'Anti-Christ/Devil's-Children' bullshit was just that - bullshit. They were never ever even remotely satanists or devil worshippers.

Yeah. It's amazing how many people fall for that shit like it's an actual thing. Mention Satan, Devil or Hell in a song and you're a "worshipper", whatever that is anyway.
