Yes, that's the problem with Houston recordings. I've noticed the bass problem and i'm working on a final remaster because i'm planning a full gig with a free DVD release, so it will be soon corrected. Thank you so much and yes, TIL is going to be part of the release

How's this project coming along?  I wish there was something I could do to help!  It was an amazing night.

It makes me happy to see them live.  I like to be happy.  If I had the means, I'd go to every show.  I guess we're all different.

Getting pretty fired up about this show!  My boss scheduled a meeting with some folks in Houston tomorrow morning so I'll be getting there earlier than planned from San Antonio.  Excited to hear Coma live and in person for the first time!

I'm indifferent towards Trunk and if I were in his shoes I'd certainly be on here saying things like, "There are big things on the horizon!  I can't really talk about it, but I'm excited and you should be too!"  But to say, "I know why Pitman is gone and I will never be able to tell you about it."  In that case you don't say anything.  It doesn't stir up anything but negative speculation.  It's bush league.  You can make yourself out to be the insider without throwing that out there.

There is no time in Vegas!  No clocks anywhere!

Beer? Check.

Cigarettes? Check.

Ready to see my friend Richard take the stage with GnR. He's a super cool human being. I'm really happy for him that he's in this lineup.

It is quite fortuitous that we still have Fortus to comfort us!

I am assuming another 45 minutes to an hour before GNR takes the stage

Every time I've seen them, the changeover has been about an hour or 1.5 hours.  Enough time to get your merch, make a head call, and procure a couple of drinks to get you through the next couple of hours.

Wait Bob? Starts with a B, ends with a B ?

Ten seconds, Bob.

I will be there, not liking my options with the NT membership.  I wish I had a Citi card.  I guess I'll wait until Friday to purchase my tickets.

I'd like to see what Nuno Bettencourt and Axl could come up with...if it were up to me.

WAY TO BE HUMBLE, BRO.

He could hardly keep a straight face...your sarcasm radar is malfunctioning

If I was Axl I'd be in the back on Mygnr just laughing at all the people who are subjecting themselves to this shit to see me.

jokes on him. i'm a semi-unemployed alcoholic with nothing better to do. in your FACE axl.

That makes two of us!

Taking one for Team GNR right now...Axl owes me big time for watching this crap.

There are still 3 more artists performing before Gn'R. Ugh.

A watched pot never boils, indeed.

Heaven only knows if I can make it until GNR...holy fuck!

Damn...how's the fucking hot sauce? All this band related bullshit is redundant, how's the sauce?

Finally got around to updating my obituary today. I request that six members of GNR be my pallbearers so they can let me down one more time.

Just bought my VIP tickets. Seating all says general admission.

Still not sure if the concert will be in the AT&T Center or the Grounds. The official website says the grounds. SA Spurs should be in the playoffs at this time so maybe the concert will be outdoors.

Ticketmaster is always annoying...asked for parking pass but I thought the VIP tickets included that for the $100 price tag.

G N'Fn R in San Antonio!

It's going to be outdoors. What I'm hoping is that with our VIP tickets we'll be able to mingle with GA AND hit the VIP area when we feel like it. Best of both worlds is what I expect it to be.

I know this topic has drifted down the list, but I just wanted to add some context to the whole strep throat thing. My five-year-old son told me on Friday night as I was putting him to bed that his throat was hurting. I asked him if he thought he was getting sick and he said, "No." Saturday rolls around and he's not quite acting like himself and his throat is hurting, but he has no fever. Saturday afternoon: we're out of town heading to a birthday party. Said five-year-old comes and sits by me on the couch at my folks' house and his forehead is on fire! Thermometer reads 102 F. We're an hour from home so we give him some ibuprofen and he misses the party. Sunday morning, fever is still out of control and his voice is very hoarse, throat swollen, no appetite (not even for democracy). I take him to the urgent care clinic down the road, they swab test him and he's positive for strep throat (not to mention scarlet fever with the rash all over his body and an ear infection). Doctor prescribes antibiotics, but there's no rural pharmacies open, so I make the two-hour round-trip drive to San Antonio, give the boy his first dose of meds before bed last night. Second dose this morning. By this afternoon, throat is no longer painful, no fever, appetite is back and voice is clear as a bell.

All that to say this to all those haters thinking Axl was making excuses or someone was making them for him because he sounded better on day two: Suck it!

But I still agree that he likely didn't warm up before the first show either so I imagine it was a little bit of both.

I'd like to see Nuno Bettencourt collaborate with Axl!

I think the main reason that Axl won't be showing up is that if he would show up, people would expect him to play a few songs. And than everyone on the entire world will see how shit is voice/condition is right now. I think he still has nightmares from that disaster VMA's performance...

Wow. Really? Go see a show.

I'm reading this and am astonished by some of the comments I'm reading. He sang "Used To Love Her" in a higher "pitch"? Really? Christ almighty. I get dumber reading some of the comments here I swear.

Ali

Bumblefoot sounded great, but he doesn't have the rasp he used to...he is terrible now by comparison. Right?

I swear that is a females hat.

Blame Beta!

Are singers in other bands questioned as much about their rasp, deep and high pitched voice?

I love the so-called mickey voice.

If a singer in another band would sound like Axl does sometimes I wouldn't listen to them.... it's realy bad sometimes.... and good sometimes. The band is great

If you expect Axl to sound 25 for the rest of his life, then go home. If you expect him to sing his balls off to the best of his abilities, then stay. The man sounds awesome and gives every show the best of what he has. I respect and enjoy the hell out of it. Calling him out on this is ridiculous.
