I'm going Nov 18th

Here are a bunch of vids from the show that are pretty good quality

Hellfast GNR 2012

I watched the Paradise City video and goddamn thats the best PC I've heard in a long time.. Axl's vocals sounded great.. but he seemed in a pissy mood.. he barely moved and cut the end solos short.

Say what you will but he buys great fucking jeans

How much do you think they cost?

They are true religion jeans... in Canada they cost between $250 - $450.. but us Canadians always get ripped off.

Oh I agree!!

With that said i wouldn't give a fuck if I had your salary

When you see all the money that is wasted it would still blow your mind no matter how much you were making. However, I am grateful to be one of the people they are wasting their money on!

probably between 2 and 3000 a week.

Some of you people are so naive, I'm just a normal guy and I make over $3000/week so I'm pretty sure ALL members of Gnr make WAY more than I do!

A little quick math and I see that that's around $156 000 a year. I doubt say Bumblefoot or Frank make much more than that. Not that it's our business of course.

Sure, all the guys make a comfortable living, but if they get paid $1 000 000 per show, for example, out of that they have to pay the crew, transportation, late fees, and so on. Duff talks about about the late fees in his book, mentioning it goes beyond just a venue fine. They also have to pay the overtime for venue staff and security.

I'm still betting they all make much more than I do, especially when touring. I would actually assume that Bumblefoot earns more with just his non-gnr related work/projects than I do. In reality it doesn't really matter what they make to me, I just find it hard to fathom that somebody in a (relatively) huge rock band would earn so little.

What do you do for a living to earn 156,000/year? especially when you posting on a fan forum 11 am in the morning?

Not trying to be an ass just curious....

Answered already.. and its only 9:30am where I live . I'm on holidays right now.

Situation, What do you do to earn 3000 a week? I want in!

I work in finance for an oil company and I'm on the lower end of the salary spectrum.

With salaries like that no wonder why we pay so much for gas

Oh I agree!!

What was so awful about Tacoma in '02?

Well.. I had been waiting my whole life to see gnr live.. the first time they came to my city I think I was around 13 and I wasn't allowed to go to the concert so to say I was excited was an understatement. I actually had tickets to the Vancouver show the day before the Tacoma one but that didn't work out well. My biggest disappointment was Axl.. this was not the Axl I loved when I was younger... to me his voice was terrible, for the majority of the concert I couldn't even hear Axl and when I could hear him I wished that I couldn't cause it was so terrible. The arena was half full... I don't know how to fully explain it was I was beyond disappointed. Axl fully redeemed himself to me the next gnr concert i went to in 2006 though.

best to worst

1. Edmonton - 2010

2. Edmonton - 2006

3. Calgary - 2010

4. Tacoma - 2002 *TERRIBLE*

Do you Alberta and BC Canadians hate French Canadians?

Yes, with a passion.

but,but he's not fat. he looks like most average 50 year olds....

Are you actually disputing that? I'd wager he is actually in better shape than the average 50 year old American man.

Ali

He's a rock star. Rock stars are not fat and certainly not average American men lol.

Good to hear if it's true.

Rock stars are not fat or overweight/bloated? Duff must have missed that memo in the early 90's. Same thing with Meat Loaf, Scott Stapp and Rob Thomas. They're human, so human issues are not beyond them.

Ali

I really don't get it why people have the need to say "he's human" over and over after RIR. Sure he's human, rockstars are human, they're not fucking Martians. The image of a fatass is not really what comes to mind when you think of a rockstar now does it?

I mean really, do you think of Axl as an average middle aged man? Sure, he's a man and he's middle aged but he's Axl fucking Rose.

I agree... he's human but you can't compare him to the "average" middle aged person... unlike the average middle aged person, he's rich and has the resources and time to get a personal trainer and workout daily.. most people don't have that luxury. Too bad he obviously didn't chose to do that before Rio.
