maXx

that was my home town crowd there.. and it's a good jam, but to me eddie is definitely the pearl

Reported for not knowing anything.

ha ha ha a ha

Pearl Jam's my answer, who would've thought?! Best band around, imo. I just love everything about this band! Going to see them again this year, fuck yes!!!

The Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby are great albums that you should own.

i like all that you can't leave behind

must be those magick crows

i agree about the band, they are an interesting bunch.

maybe the tables are turning for axl

i wonder if they'll add australia to the tour, is there any word on this?

The rumors we have so far suggests Europe in the summer, US in late summer/fall..

It's anyone's guess, but could fit in between South America and Europe, or after the US.

thanks, will just have to listen out. hopefully it all plays out well for them and they decide to come.

Just got home, it was a really good show. Axl sounded better than I expected, even on This I Love. Axl had almost nothing to say all night, but he seemed to be in a good mood anyway. Whole Lotta Rosie was a nice surprise and sounded excellent. I would have preferred Prostitute or Catcher over some of the other new tunes, but I'm impressed with the length of the shows they're playing these days. The only part of the set that didn't flow very well was This I Love leading into Nightrain. It just seemed like an awkward choice at that point in the show.

from what i seen so far, axl is in fine form. he looks relaxed and the band sounds tight and smooth. i'm sure you guys will load up some better qual vids -

WTF?!?!

If GNR ever comes to my town I gonna were a white t-shirt with huge black letters saying: "Guns N' Roses - Slash = FAKE Guns N' Roses".

youll try to get in and be told to take it off. at that point, one of three things will happen:

you will:

a.say 'yes sir' and do as your told

b.go home

c.cause a scene and get arrested.

either way im laughing at you.

ye, that was quite funny - and out of the blue

Slash had a hand in writing half the material this band performs live, for somebody to consider wearing one of those shirts from way back in the day with him jamming on a Les Paul isn't some kind of CrAzY cOnCepT.

and if you think it is its probably because you're dumb enough to buy into the feud and pick sides

Do you wear a t-shirt with Slash face just to show that Slash had a hand in writing the old songs??? Well, so, it's a protest. You wear a t-shirt with Slash face as a way of showing your disapproval of this new lineup.

i would wear a shirt of slash to say that i support him for his role in the bands history, from my own point of view and not because i bow down at the feet of any of the other past or present members.

But the fat that i was even at the new guns concert would say that i support them and axl's efforts for success. no hate.

getting told by security to take it off at the door would bring bad blood into the whole experience and cause me to question wtf ? [which is what is happening here]

Wow, just a matter of time before this story is misinterpreted and spreads like wildfire. Stating this is confirmed could be interpreted as "slander" if it damages the band. This is like Slash now saying he personally turned down Axl and $100 million to reunite, when the truth is Izzy, Duff, Axl, and Slash collectively turned it down. But no, the headline now is Slash turned down Axl, which is false. The security firm, if they did this, acted incorrectly, AS THERE WERE NO INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE BAND OR MANAGEMENT FOR THEM TO DO THIS AT THE GATE! INCREDIBLE AND MIND BOGGLING THAT THIS FORUM IS OFFICIALLY SAYING THAT IT IS CONFIRMED AXL TOLD SECURITY TO ACT LIKE THAT AT THE GATE. THIS IS SLANDER, AND POTENTIALLY ILLEGAL!

It was confirmed.To Madison. Hours ago,even.

We did not advise any security to ban any sort of apparel.... If they did, they did it on their own accord, or under someone else's order - from within their management.

Fernando Beta's son posted this at HTGTH

what i want to know is how does a security firm arrive at an independent decision to ban the wearing of a shirt as a means to avoid disturbances - it's not exactly public headline news that axl experiences discomfort over slash. To so thoroughly research the history of the band, and then of all things, to ban that at the gate. it's just weird that it wouldn't come from within, without internal consultation. maybe winnipeg is just paranoid.

it's not really confirmed if we are getting conflicting reports

the forum members who say they witnessed it have written quite believable posts

It's not about whether or not you like Chinese Democracy or Axl continuing on with GN'R name.

You are right on this one. This thread is about axl kicking out fans that wear slash shirts. And its our fair right to disagree with this behaviour and still be good guns n roses fans. remember who created this thread. This thread is especially not a place to answer your personal questions why certain people post here. thats totally off topic. If you are so interested in the motivation why peope post here start your own topic in the fitting subforum. Other then that I reckon your post as try to stir up hatred towards slash fans.

Yeah sure, but the thread is bullshit, it's not true... Axl didn't kick anyone out of that show, there's two videos from guys who worked the show, who've never even heard of this! Even Fernando said it wasn't true, you'd think he's know, right? The fact that this 'rumor' is being kept alive by a bunch moaning pricks is very relevant, certain people around here just want to believe this is true, so they can push their own hate fueled anti Axl trolling agendas. I don't think it's 'off topic' for people to be discussing whether or not these people should be allowed to post here.

Who created this thread has no relevance at all, 'Madison' isn't infallible. In fact, the 'confirmed' subtitle should be dropped from this thread, because it's anything but, and quite likely the opposite.

get rid of the people that make you uncomfortable right. just like the slash shirts.

i can't believe some of you think it's ok to be censored this way. it's only a t-shirt.. it's not a machine gun. this reeks hugely of fear.

Now a bunch of them will tell you "it's just a shirt,who cares?" I guess I can't blame em because a bunch of these GNR educators (and ,no it isn't their fault) weren't around to experience the true spirit of GNR and all the things that went into them being an inspiration to so many for more than just music. There was an attitude and a lifestyle that went along with the music. There was something special about Guns that allowed them to still be around and relevant after 25 or so years and with only one original member left.

To some GNR fans, all they know of Guns is Axl and insert name here

I understand that Guns evolved musically, and that is cool,they always have. Banning Slash shirts though? That is about as anti-rock-n-roll as you can get.

I'm fully prepared to be schooled now by the GNR-educators on here.

much of rock n' roll nowadays is about as anti rock n' roll as you can get

i can't believe some of you think it's ok to be censored this way. it's only a t-shirt.. it's not a machine gun. this reeks hugely of fear.

But if that's the case, then I think Fernando and others need to find out who is giving instructions on Axl's behalf.

Unless Fernando is the guilty party. I wholeheartedly believe that this dipshit and his mother feed Axl a lot of nonsense to justify their useless "positions" in the GNR camp.

Sucking at the power teet as some might say.

Dont fucking talk about people like that, he is a member here, and a rock solid great guy anyone who thinks otherwise is jealous of his position in the camp, he is Axls family like it or not,

i wonder how axl's life would have gone had he never met beta ... he credits her with saving his life, ..but who knows ?

People who goes to a GN'R concert with a Slash shirt tends to ruin it for everybody

Yeah, you are right.

Why do they need to wear a Slash t-shirt? Come on...

Yeah, why would someone wear a Guns N' Roses tee shirt to a Guns N' Roses concert?

check mate

i like what KBear said ^

... and this too, i must admit has crossed my mind

I think he would get more support if he didn't parage around as Guns N' Roses.. Axl Rose is a pretty powerful name in itself.. He could totally have a more than successful solo career..

there are two of this topic going - merge?

thanks for the update axl, how about you talk to us a little more.. we like it when you talk. we like you. there's no one else like you...

did you tie dye them? one's lighter than the other right?

great effect anyhow. i like that look.

That's how they are made

they come up on ebay about once a month

did you tie dye them? one's lighter than the other right?

i like your uyi shirt.. the bone (faded yellow?) one

is the vegas one a large large?

i hope so for your sake, how awesome to experience a new country together with a concert by one of the best bands in the world. good luck to you

i wouldn't bother with a re-release, i don't like the new thick vinyl.. and anyway you can get them anywhere.

Thick vinyl - like the re-releases is supossed to be better quality. Many quality nuts will say 180 gram vinyl sounds better than regular vinyl 120-140 grams like the older stuff. Plus the 180 g is usually virgin vinyl too which is better.

From a listening quality perspective I am not sure why you would prefer the older vinyl versions???

yes, i know. i've heard this said before. and i've given it some thought too. there's something about having an aesthetic reminder of days gone by that.. are gone. there's listening-quality perfection, and there's listening-quality experience. i can have the perfection on mp3.. or cd.. or new vinyl i guess. but i can't have the experience except for original pressings.

My first PJ concert and it was incredible, that setlist was orgasmic. I was worried that eddie's voice would have still been f!ked (he has the flu three days ago and during the sydney concert which he almost got through but had to stop after 28 songs during crazy mary (lol only PJ), but he said next time around he will knock $20 off ticket prices for sydney), but I was wrong.. The band killed it on stage. Highlights for me were when eddie came out for under pressure during ben harpers set, even flow and RVM. Oh and I guess I should show these two items

They also played Modern girl, another brick in the wall, schools out (in honour of the schoolies)..... If you want blood (You've got it) (AC/DC) which was followed by blood haha.

are you a 10c member spoon?

so the gig was great for you. and you scored a setlist.. magic. i'm not surprised eddi got the flu, australia's weather has been all over the place, especially down here in melb. i noticed you highlighted a pretty impressive set of covers. that's what makes pj a standout band for me; they have heroes just like we do. and they make you feel like they're just one of the guys.

edit.. - i just noticed the pick (care to part with that??)

So, it really seems like Pearl Jam is coming back to Europe next summer! FUCK YEAH! This is easily the best news this year, since the touring announcement for this summer! HAHA!!! Wooooooooohoooooooooo!!!! Bring it on, guys!

"I just wanna scream, HELLOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"

would go see them anytime they toured my town too. well worth it, they got an excellent review in our media as well, of course.
