We just need to accept that Izzy and Steven won't be there. It really sucks, and it just won't feel right, but there's nothing we can do. 

 

There's one thing I can do : to buy a ticket to see this line-up.

But I won't.

They MUST play.

They deserve to be there.

Rumor has it that tomorrow is the celebration of AFD.  That means the five individuals who signed a recording K with Geffen, formed a p’ship, registered said p’ship and marks, and wrote, recorded and toured one of the most iconic albums in rock history.  Oh, and it was (and will forever remain) the #1 selling debut album of all-time.  For comparative purposes, next year is the 10-year anniversary of my team’s WS championship.  I can guarantee you that no one, quite literally, would accept Middelton, the Bucks or Montgomery trotting out anything less than ALL 25 living members of that squad EXCEPT Jayson Werth who’s playing for another team.  And that includes no stunt doubles or look-a-likes.  Everyone knows Phillies fans would n-e-v-e-r accept such a fraud, and ESPECIALLY if Middleton, the Bucks or Montgomery refused to bring back all 25 for pecuniary gain.  They’d be figuratively lynched for even considering such a fraud, and no one would give another hard-earned dollar to that franchise except for the random ownership apologist.

To the above quote.  How anyone can post, contrary to known public fact, legal impossibility with such conviction is nothing short of stupefying.  Slash has his own separate management and counsel.  Duff has his own separate management and counsel.  The singer is ‘managed’ by live-ins.  Gn’R is a trademark.  Gn’R is NOT a “band” consisting of S/D/A and AR’s employees (the what-have-yous on “keys,” Adler’s fourth replacement and the Izzy look-a-like).  The singer has owned that mark since NYE ’95 when he quit Original Gn’R (“Leaving Partner”) to form “a new band” and “a new p’ship” (quoting the singer’s legal notice and averments in pleadings).  Anyone reading any post referencing ‘Gn’R management’ immediately knows that whatever follows such an assertion is fictional because there is no ‘Gn’R management.’

Adler will be rockin his authentic swing and party feel to HIS songs.  But what about Izzy?  And what about you, the AFD fan?  Will you continue to line the pockets of S/D/A this fall by purchasing trinkets and $300 tickets to listen to 30-year old songs performed by 3 originals and their cover band?  There is no quarter of a billion dollar tour, trinketfest, and synch/licensing extravaganza without AFD just as there was no ’08 WS championship without those 25 Phillies.

AFD was and is authentic.  It is timeless.  What about tomorrow?  Have S/D/A, with their pot (now mountain) of gold, agreed to compensate/split the loot with that final fifth to man his side of the stage tomorrow for HIS songs?  Forget about LN and American arenas this fall, tomorrow is a S/D/A decision promoted by Sirius as a AFD celebration.

Great post, I agree 100 %.

Guys, was AFD released on July 20 or 21?

July 21, 1987. It was a Tuesday.

I think Adler might be there but not Izzy and if Adler does play surely they've got to let him play different songs that isn't OTGM and My Michelle 

Exactly.  Steven MUST take part to this event. He deserves to be there as much as Axl, Slash, Izzy and Duff. Without Steven, AFD wouldn't have been as great.

He deserves to be there, he deserves it much more than many people in the current line-up, obviously.

^^ it sounds like something off  "the fragile", pretty good.

Could the fact that they have used the cross with the 5 original members mean a Appetite set with the original 5?

I hope so !

Who knows. They've been selling merchandise throughout this entire tour with the same original artwork, so it doesn't necessarily mean anything. 

My question is this- who paid for the advertising? If Sirius put it up, I think it means nothing. If GNR put it up, it likely means something out of the ordinary is in store for Thursday night. While they didn't do a great job with promoting through interviews, etc., they did a really big billboard, bus, etc. campaign prior to launching the NITL tour. 

If Sirius had paid for it, their logo would be on it, imo.

It's probably something paid by the band. But who knows.

I dunno if I would say that but it is definitely borderline.. They are just barely good enough for me to feel comfortable calling them Gn'R... Sometimes they sound really good and just as many times they don't.. It is definitely the worst lineup Slash and Duff have ever been a part of.. Still better than nothing I suppose.

More than half of the current members shouldn't be there... It's as simple as that.

This show was a lot of fun. It should have been the only nugnr show because 2002 was shit and 2006 was kind of boring.

As some have said, they have already blown their chance.. I blew a ton of money flying to Vegas already in hopes that I was going to see Izzy and Steven there.. I can't spend that kind of money anymore.. If I had known what the lineup was going to be I would have never done it. 

it's still fakegnr, even with slash.

I would pay a lot.... Much more than for the current line-up, obviously.

It would be something special.
