If Axl gets 50 and the other 2 get 25 each that is 100% of profit, of what profit?  What do the others get then?

Profit after all the salaries are paid. The others are paid salaries, then Axl, Duff and Slash share the rest. But as far as I know no one really knows whether its 1/3 for each of them or whether Axl is getting more. I remember someone involved saying Duff got off really well, I'm interpreting it that the 3 are probably sharing the profits equally.

Am I the only one who thinks it does not makes sense for them to split the money equally? Imo Axl should be getting more, he's ruining his voice gradually with singing, there is higher cost to him doing the shows than to the others. Also, he is the frontman. 

God the visuals are awful.

If Fortus doesn't know that song and/or is learing it from Duff it could be a VR's leftover... You can also hear Slash noodling all over it in the background. 

Pretty much my thoughts. It doesn't sound very sophisticated honestly, if there will be new GNR music, I hope for more than this 

Hmhmh, I'm not satisfied with the sound. In the first shows, Axl was a bit too loud, now Axl and Richard are not loud enough in the mix.

I've seen different people point out they are having a hard time hearing Axl the past 2 shows. Is the sound engineer nodding out or is Axl preserving his voice? After checking out some videos im a little concerned 

Yeah, I noticed on the vids from the last shows Axl is quite low in the mix. Maybe they noticed people complained in the beginning of the tour that Axl was too loud in the mix and overfixed it a little bit. 

God, the quality of the production is awful, live performances need much more dynamic camera work and the sound sounds like in ear monitor, not something to be presented to public. Really hope it will get better in this respect. 

Isn't Axl taking some antidepressants which are making it way harder to lose weight? I think I read something like that somewhere couple of years back

hahaha, finally, after all these years someone else with positive opinion of My World. I like it. 

I wasn't that keen for this to happen, but now seeing the huge smile on Steven's face for the whole time he is on stage is great!

I'd say the best Coma so far, at least on Axl's part. What do you think?

This is just something that happens to lot of guitar players, there is a little idea that comes in while jamming, lick or rhythm pattern or little piece of melody, sometimes it sticks, you use it here and there, come to like it and develop it into something more but meanwhile in the process you use bits before. it's something that was happening to me all the time when I was playing guitar and actively composing.  

I'd love to hear Axl's work on the basis of Fall To Pieces. He said it somewhere that Slash did it before leaving GNR and it was one of the things that were supposed to be on the next GNR record and Axl worked on it (if I remember correctly)

It seems like Axl is using his walking stick in the picture. Anyone knows whether he's still using it? I want to locate where is this picture from!!!

These complaints about Axl sounding better with AC/DC are just nuts. Whenever you hear Axl with GNR sounding weak, think whether the stuff he's singing at the moment could be done with the kind of register you remember sounding great from AC/DC. Of course not. It's because the GNR material is very versatile and you can't just scream your way through it + it's often much more difficult in terms of breathing. 

Watching the videos I'm really glad about Slash. He has put a lot of work into it since coachella and the warm up shows.

Still no Coma? :'(

so he still needs chairs? and why plural?

Yes. Axl needs couple of thousands of chairs for an evening. He's an unusual guy you know.

Have Axl been in for rehearsal?

Well according to what the production manager said he has been.

Nothing extremely exciting but it's a 15 second clip of rehearsals. Unfortunately, the audio isn't live (it's just the studio track) and it mostly highlights Duff since it's a Fender exclusive.

Haha, love Mellissa listening to her bose headphones through the hoodie 

I always thought that deep down Going Down was a great song, but Bubmblefoot work on it was just fucking terrible. Also the production and overall sound of the demo we got don't suit it at all. Axl vocals all over would take it to another level

Any decent Hells Bells?

Checked some reviews in czech media, all are positive.

not sure how google translate will do, from my experience it's usually quite struggling witch niche languages as czech.

I don't really think it was that much of a off night from what I've seen so far. Back In Black is REALLY good even compared to other performances we've seen so far.

I paid 20.00 for a beer at a concert here in the US back in 2012 and another 20.00 for a vodka tonic at Peter Frampton in 2014. at GN'R I wised up and had three cocktails from booze I brought from home at the hotel before the concert then I took some prescribed pain meds during the concert and had a pleasant buzz going on thru til it ended. it's ridiculous they way they overcharge for booze at events,  not just concerts but sports events and such. especially since the price of the tickets alone are often astronomically out of control

Hahaha, you could get 10 beers for that price at today's Prague gig. And people still complained

No it was a bottle of beer ?

Ah, ok, I never noticed. Am surprised, always thought Axl was this disciplined professional who drinks only water on stage, should have known better
