    Atlanta Show at The Tabernacle 3/1

    in 2012 Tour Dates

    Posted · Edited by Verruckt

    Thanks! I've only been able to find 2 videos on YouTube. I figured there would be a lot more than that.

    I know, it's driving me nuts too!

    In lieu of new videos ... if anyone else (like me) didn't know who Kat was, this is a pretty good introduction to the lovely Katarina Benzova:

    I really hope someone captured and uploads some of Axl's banter to YouTube ... I could tell there was a lot of it from Axlrosefan4life's stream but I couldn't decipher a word of it! Dying to know what he said! Or if anyone who was there can offer an approximate transcript that would be welcomed as well!

    I'm surprised at how much I've come to like Motivation. I'm glad he's stuck with this one over the covers he was doing earlier in the tour. Great song.

    That song alone live made me get Tommy's two solo albums. Very cool stuff by him. ONE MAN MUTINY is also an awesome song

    Thanks, I'll check it out!

    Oh My God, it is so freakin' annoying to hear OH MY GOD be shouted before every song. Get a grip people! Must be pretty annoying for the band too.

    Sorry if it is axlrose4life yelling that, I do appreciate the stream!

    Gotta agree, the OMG thing is so 2011. Just relax and enjoy the show as it is!

    Honestly if the record company is the problem

    ...

    To say that if an album doesn't come out this year means it's the label's fault is not correct.

    ...

    People need to stop looking at moments like the R&RHOF induction, Rock in Rio, and the club tour as if they're the circumstances that are prompting potential release of new music. One of those might coincide with business arraignments, but first and foremost, it's about money. You're only fooling yourself if you think otherwise.

    Actually I think the OP was saying that if new music is not released this year, it will prove it's NOT the label's fault.

    The New York Times ran an article a couple months ago about the tremendous boost in sales that historically follows an artist's induction into the HOF. Here's a quote:

    This hall-of-fame effect is well established in the recording industry. For instance, sales of Bee Gees albums surged to 1.1 million in 1997, the year of the group’s induction, from 210,000 in 1996. Sales of Fleetwood Mac albums jumped to 3.2 million in 1998, when that band was inducted, from 483,000 in 1997, according to SoundScan.

    So the record company has a huge financial incentive to release new GNR music this year. Ergo, if new music fails to materialize, it must be the band's (i.e. Axl's) fault.

    Not saying I necessarily agree with this analysis, but I think it's what the OP was saying. For one thing, it seems to me the financial incentive runs both ways. But personally I would never pretend to understand the convoluted inner workings of the music industry.

    I'm probably not going to be able to make it (wife is having her wisdom teeth out that day), but I live in ATL so I know the area. It's not nearly as bad as people are saying, especially since the GA Aquarium went up nearby. Phillips Arena is also nearby, and Centennial Park. It's not a dangerous area as long as you keep your wits about you.

    There's a Ted's Montana Grill less than 500 feet from The Tabernacle, on the corner of Luckie Street and Spring Street. It's a nice place with a full bar. If anyone wants to meet up before the show, that's where I'd recommend.

    Derr-Hurr,thank you for enlightening us poor ignorant hicks,we doesn't know them high-fallutin' words.

    I wasn't trying to be pedantic, just pointing out what seemed like a relevant fact considering the title of this thread. Nice Deliverance impression though. Now squeal like a pig, boy!

    New top banner please?

    That looks awesome!

    +1

    Might need to clear it with the band's management though, since the chick on the left is presumably a copyrighted image. Very nicely done though.

    I think you guys are confusing "Fanaticism" with "Fandom". They are quite differernt imo and I´m closer to the latter. A fan supports the band with loyalty in the good times and in the bad times whereas a fanatic develops an irrational obsession and turns into an intolerant freak.

    Actually, from an etymological standpoint they are the same thing. The word "fan" is a shortened form of "fanatic". I get what you're saying though.
