I found a video on YouTube from the 89 show, which up until today I never knew existed. Unfortunately, even though it was awesome to see of course, the video has a green x across the screen. Do you by chance know of another video of that show? I emailed the person in the contact info but haven't gotten a response.

Thanks again!

Ah I see, awesome. I have seen the performance of piece of me that he did with I think Sebastian bach and Lars from metallica, but I thought that was from 90 or 91.. Was this a different performance? I apologize if that sounds like a dumb question haha. And here I was thinking I knew everything there was to know about GNR.

Marc,

First off, I'm sure it's been said many times before, but it is just fucking awesome that you have an account here and are so forthcoming with all of the questions from us superfans. Just so cool man, we all owe you a debt of gratitude..this board has seen some dark times, like 2003-2004, 2005-CD's release in 2008(with the exception of the 06 tour). You simply being here gives me a little excitement, just the thought of finding out something new about my favorite band. So thanks a lot for everything you contribute here!

I noticed you mentioned the RIP Magazine Party in 1998... Was that a typo intended to be 1988? If not, what happened in '98..? To my knowledge the only stuff that happened that year was axl getting arrested at sky harbor intl. Airport here in Phoenix..

So, if we can't post links, how can people like me who have not yet heard the leaked songs hear them..?

I had to do a double take, I didn't think it said "pants" lol

The only solo spot I don't mind is Richard's. The rest are piss breaks. Nobody comes to a GNR show to hear Bumble and Tommy play their original shit.

False.

eh...sorry dude, but it's true...most people at the GNR shows think of that stuff (Rons) as cheesy metal. I like some of it, but mostly just to see him shred on the solo's.

This is great...another brief moment where GNR is almost real again.

i wonder if the dancers were the new addition that pissed bbf off bad. certainly sounds like tommy's not too into 'em. wonder why. chicks rule. and it's a total sausage fest on the gnr stage.

also, the part about the flying piano was pretty sweet. to be honest, that sounds cooler to me than the idea of hearing the band struggle through some poorly rehearsed outtakes from chinese democracy.

sausage fest? So every band that doesn't have dancers onstage is lacking, and a sausage fest? I really don't think of it like that, and I never have, in the 3 times I've seen GNR, Aerosmith, Van Halen, etc.... I don't expect that stuff when I go see a rock n roll band, and I don't think too many other people do, either. If I wanna see chicks dancing, I'll go to a strip club or something. I don't really want that shit at a rock show.

^ I kind of agree though, I've never even heard of this person. People die every day...should I grieve every day..? I think threads like these are retarded, when none of us even know who we're talking about.

These threads show support for those who were close to the deceased, in this case members of the GNR family. It's like if your brother's friend or coworker passed away and you had never met or heard of them, you'd still offer condolences for your brother's loss ... wouldn't you?

Exactly,its a common courtesy.

It's not the same as that, because this is a fan forum for a band. We have no relation to the band whatsoever, we are fans. So this person dying is no different than reading about someone in the obituaries. Sorry, just the way it is. Death is unfortunate, and sad, but when you don't know the person...can't really empathize.

That cold as ice twice as cold comment was just retarded. I'll be devastated when I lose a member of my family. But an associate of the band I like? lol. come on. you guys are out there.

"I don't really give a [expletive]. . . . If they all want to go play a song and get their award, I would have no problem with it. Do I think I'm part of that? Hell no! It's all about the original band, and that's fine. It's all about 'Appetite,' really."

Now we can put that garbage to rest.

Is it me or has Axl got a look of paranoia and almost shock and dead in his eyes?! Not just tonight but I've noticed it in pics in recent years as compared to his younger years he never had this look-always were expressive as compared to now look very hardened. Hard to explain. Eyes are the window to the soul I really believe haha!

It's you. Is this conversation really happening,seriously?

It hasn't even got as far as a conversation! But it's ok you don't hav to be rude. Everyone's entitled to their own viewpoint. But I looked up a few old threads talkin about some pics of him in 2010 and others noticed the same thing.

So,it has surpassed the various overanalyzing of words and gone to interpreting "looks" in eyes?

I'm not being rude,I'm establishing how far off the road of internet etiquette this has strayed.

Would be nice if people were required to wear their S/Ns to concerts.I know that sounds uber controlling,but I don't say anything online I wouldn't say in person.

All the anonymous identities have enabled a new type of behavior,because it doesn't involve interpersonal interaction.

this new type of behavior? You mean like posting memes to take jabs at people?

As frustrating as it is, Izzy has probably just come to realize that anything associated with 'old gnr' is awkward and uncomfortable because of how Axl wants nothing to do with it. It's like a father who remarries and just cuts off all contact with his original family. Family reunions, or birthdays/funerals, whatever, would be weird and uncomfortable.

lol, dude, if I ever met someone who analyzed me like that, I'd punch them right in the face.

Cool how much the crows sings along with SCOM as opposed to the other sons. But still...don't think I'd care to see them do any full covers.

I hope I'm not being misunderstood. Of course, I'd prefer GN'R to play, but it would be incredibly lame if no one played any GN'R tunes.

It would make the band look like a bunch of big babies and make things even more incredibly akward, as in "that's it?"

The band is a bunch of big babies. Not just Axl, like some would like to believe, all of them are.

I just don't want to hear any of the classic music covered by people who have the potential to put Fergie to shame.

With less than 2 weeks before the induction, the fans are watching as our reunion hopes start to disappear like Marty McFly's family in a polaroid picture.

And Thin Lizzy is your opening act.

Yeah. I just read that. = I don't know anything, this is Axl's band.

That’s amazing. There’s a couple of pretty good guitar players in that band, as I remember. I think Scott Gorham is still with them…

Yeah, absolutely. It’s going to be exciting. = who are they? I don't know much about music. I've got some cool hats on my website though.

There Was A Time and Prostitute should be on that top. Only Estranged or Coma are in the same level.

This has turned into a "What are your favorite GNR songs" thread. lol.

Great to see 'Better' on there, but I'd replace 'Live and Let Die' with 'Estranged' in a heartbeat.

casual rock fan = LALD

hardcore GNR fan = Estranged

Understand?

If Izzy and Axl don't show up, I honestly have no interest in it. Like someone's said before...we see Duff, Slash, and Steven all the time...I'd rather see VR live than watch those guys at the HOF.

Izzy is not responsible for how other people use their Illusions.

Plus, I would rather have CD II than this love in anyway.

Can we now have a mass internet brawl about who takes Izzy's spot if Axl shows and they perform?

...Really, dude..? You're like those guys who say stuff like "Hell with the pressure, Axl's not cavin in!"

Lame.

isnt it funny, we are discussing about middle aged men, who got everything in life anyone could ever fucking even dream about, sometimes I think have these babys ever gone through anything real shit in their lives....fucking hell.

Nope they got famous young, never had to grow up. It's what makes them fun to watch, but pisses me off in situations like this.

duff seems to be the only normal guy from all 5 of them.

slash: wont shut his mouth about axl hating him.

steven: wont shut up about hating the new band

izzy: doesn't care about fans, won't show up.

axl: big child, full of anger and surrounded by his yes-men. won't feel comfortable with people as important as him.

duff: hasn't said anything negative. hasn't fueled rumours (afaik). classy dude.

The thing is, that's because they're constantly being interviewed and asked about those things. Rock magazines know their readers are interested in the Axl/Slash thing, the HOF, Steven's feelings about what happened, etc. No one cares about what they had for breakfast or who they're gonna vote for. If you bugged these guys' houses or cars or something, I'm sure you woudn't hear them talking about this shit every day. But when the media gets to ask them about it, and they don't say "No Comment" it comes across as "Slash not shutting his mouth" about it, Steven "Not shutting up about it."

just my 2 cents.

We all know Izzy doesn't like the spotlight, etc. but this is fucking stupid. This is the one time you can really honor your fans. Izzy's taking it to another level with just not showing up. That's not "cool" in my book. It's a big fuck you to everyone who go them into the HOF.
