Yeah for real. I asked a few of the locals and nobody seems to know

Probably 7:45 Anyone able to get a litho from the merch truck?

Yeah it was snowing like crazy when we left

Yeah even with the top closed off I don’t think they will fill up the field. There’s still tons of tix left. I think PNC holds around 35k. I’m guessing 15-20k and I think that’s being generous. Regardless, I’m looking to have a good time no matter how many are there. Pittsburgh is a tough one. In 02’ the Mellon arena was only half full and in 16’ Heinz was closed off on the upper deck. Both shows were some of the better shows of they’re respective tours. I guess Pittsburgers would rather go to Kenny Chesney concerts lol

Haha well at least you got a handshake out of it. Maybe Axl had to run and find a bathroom…..I remember him saying he had montezuma’s revenge lol. That was a long night, but makes for a cool story now. That was a fun show. I remember feeling amongst the die hard fans at the Hammerstein show, but definitely felt like a die hard at the bowl. Wasn’t it only like 400 capacity?

That’s a bummer! Last year for Motley Crue at PNC, they gave you a tube with every poster. Maybe GNR will do the same? At the louder than life festival a few years ago, guns did that, but that’s the only time I’ve ever seen them. Granted, since then, every show I’ve gone to has been out of lithos thanks to the a-holes who are making $ off them. I wish they had a limit on them .

That would be awesome! Good luck! I once waited outside a venue once (The Brooklyn Bowl) until 7am in the rain to meet Axl. I was standing by his tour bus, my thought was he had to come out sometime and I’d be there. I saw Del, Dizzy, and Fernando, all were actually pretty cool, but none said anything about Axl other than they thought he already left. I figured of course they would say that, to get me to leave. So I stood on the public sidewalk until about 7am and then the bus started up and pulled out lol. It was a long drive back to Maryland, that’s for sure!

Since you’re in the pittsburgh area, have you seen the merch truck? I’m hoping to get a litho and shirt before the eBay crowd snatches them all

I met Del once. He was pretty cool, took a pic with me and BS’d for a few minutes. Go say hey!

7:45

Good question. I’d like to know what time to arrive to be able to get a litho and a shirt that is my size. I showed up at 5:30 In Hershey and was too late for both

Unfortunately, that’s only 1.3 beers at PNC

Cool. Hopefully they still have some in Pittsburgh when I get there.

Take the nightrain!

Does anyone know what the deal is with the North American tour litho? They are on eBay and numbered out of 1000. I was at the Hershey show, but didn’t see any. Are they selling 1000 at each show, only selling at select shows, or selling 1000 total for the entire tour?

Do you, you won’t be disappointed! Tix are very reasonable!

I’m not sure, I didn’t see anything outside At Hershey, but someone said there was. By the time I got inside they were all long gone. I’ve never had a venue not allow me to bring in a tube, but PNC is pretty strict. Last year for Motley Crue, the tubes came with the poster

100%

The tix for this one are crazy cheap. I think this show will be humbling for them. Last stop in Pittsburgh was 2016 at Heinz Field, they had roughly 38k there, so the upper deck was closed off. This show should’ve really been at the star lake pavilion or PPG arena. It still looks like it’s less than half sold, upper deck has the $18 4-pack offer. I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t start giving tickets away to the Pittsburgh pirates season ticket holders to try and fill up some seats. If it doesn’t sell , do they close of the upper deck at a baseball stadium? TBH, I’m glad this show isn’t selling well because hopefully I can get a shirt and poster without having to wait over an hour, and be able to get a few beers without missing half of the show. Last year I saw Motley Crue and Metallica in that stadium. I liked the stadium, sound was decent, easy enough to get in and out, but the lines were ridiculous for everything.

But neither have had the massive success GNR has. At a time GNR was the biggest band on the planet

If it’s too far to drive, fly! Work will always be there, GNR won’t

Anyone interested in grabbing me a litho at the show? I could meet you after the show and pay you or you could send it to me (Maryland) and I’ll pay for yours as well? I’m coming, but won’t arrive until 7ish, so I highly doubt they will be available at that time

Any guesses on the litho this time? 17’ was pretty weak with the chocolate bar and 21’ was decent, it’s blacklight reactive and is themed one of the Hershey park rides, not sure which one.

Maybe we’ll get the debut that night? Glad I finally decided to grab tix the other night. BTW, the prices have dropped some the last few days, I scored front row on the floor, for a little over $300. There were still about 15 left in the front row of anyone is thinking about going.

Haha yeah 10 was early for new guns. I remember pittsburgh 16’ they came on at like 7:45 and shocked the hell out me! I remember one show in Cleveland, the night he canned the “pigeons of shit metal”, they didn’t show up until like 12:30-1 am, It was pretty crazy!
