  1. Just a bit of a longer break me thinks... it won't be over! However, I can't say I'm not slightly worried about the state of Axl's voice when he returns. Long breaks aren't always good and this might be the worst it's been at the end of a run (understandably though - age, fatigue etc.) If they return after a hiatus and/or a record I think it might be time to completely re-organize the set and how a guns show goes. This might be the last of the '3 hour mammoth sets' with a bunch of songs he can't really do anymore.
  2. Yep, same here. I was hoping for £50ish (although to be fair they are only £60 before TM's extortionate fees) These days the pull for seeing Slash is in these sorts of venues - Arenas are meh and I've got my fix of seeing Guns in bigger venues
  3. I have such a weird relationship with the Nu-Guns era. I'm fairly young and only properly discovered the band around '08 and the CD release - and I subsequently spent way too much time watching 06/07 stuff on YouTube. Then the 09 tour came along and there was a lot of hype around that and the 2010 run (which was pretty bloody awesome from an Axl perspective), but that was about it really. It quickly fizzled out soon afterwards and by 2013 I was basically checked out with Nu-Guns. The reunion has been fucking amazing. Sure it's been purely touring for the most part but being into Nu-Guns even for just a few years felt like some weird basement cult you weren't supposed to be a part of. The vibe at Guns shows now is really positive and overall it just feels like following a real band again - even if it's just a legacy one at this point. The TLDR version of this: Nu-Guns was a thing but I've basically wiped my memory clean of it since April 1st 2016.
  4. At the minute it's just the O2 presale I believe. TM's will start tomorrow, general sale Friday
  5. Snagged a couple of 02 priority tickets to Newcastle. I mayyy have skipped this if it was all arenas but that City Hall venue was just too tempting
  6. They're of CD quality, yeah, but something still sounds a bit unfinished about them to me. Absurd is actually maybe the most 'complete' sounding song - Hard Skool / Perhaps sound like they have the nucleus of a tune that wants expanding/reworking. Atlas is probably the next 'most finished' tune but even that sounds like it could be extended in some fashion, to Catcher's sort of length with another verse or something. Bottom line is we're only getting these because of the locker leaks - I truly believe we'd have heard nothing otherwise.
  7. Eh, they'll probably leave OMG because it actually released in an official capacity, even if it sounded like a demo
  8. Yep, the midlands has only had Download 2018 so far, and that's if folks dont mind a day at a festival. Not to mention the north or Wales
  9. It could be the heat but Axl has sounded a bit tired over the last couple gigs, feel like the run maybe peaked around the Paris show. The break has probably come at a good time, although it's quite a short one. Hopefully it's a bit cooler by the time the US run kicks into gear
  10. Yeah, I'm not sure either. If it was another 2/3 years id consider going with similar setlists to 2023 tbh. If you think about it these setlists are some of the most different we've had since the old days. So much of the newgnr era, and to a lesser extent early NITL, was AFD/CD heavy. These UYI-filled shows are definitely something I feel less tired of - I never thought I'd be hearing songs like Bad Obsession/PTU and Down on the Farm live tbh!
  11. Pretty much this. Quite happy I didn't bother last year now, especially with how the UK shows went
  12. Wish I was back in Budapest for this show! Enjoy it guys
  13. The sleeve on this is a super cool idea and looks mint but the massive ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED absolutely kills this design imo. It's so obnoxious
  14. I believe they mean The Darkness tour
  15. I'm not even sure this audio is from the rehearsal... it just looks to me like they took some 'Selects' KOHD chunk and half synced it up to a rehearsal clip. Can anyone spot the clip from elsewhere
