First ones in the pit.

Our view:

Gonna try and stream the show later. Make sure to check my Periscope when the show starts:

You guys were the first ones in the pit? Did you have vip or just regular ga tix?

To the folks that attended,  was it loud enough? My main beef with Vegas is that it wasn't very loud.

Setlist was MEH but I still have hope 

Gotta watch really high quality videos now so to judge better.

It looks like it was a great show anyway. Some of the pictures are amazing.

Which songs would u drop? It's a great set except for the seeker which I think should be swapped. A lot of the songs can't be dropped just cause of the importance.

About 2:40 ish

3+ hour shows are gone unfortunately

Did gnr play over 3 hrs is that a fact?

Looks like a successful kick off. As much as my life sucks it gives me great pleasure to follow threads like these. That said, lose the seeker. There are tons of greats to fill the spot, just sayin. I'm excited for Seattle and I hope they are all in the zone by then. I caught a few songs thru periscope and a lot of peeps were saying this was the best show yet? I hope that helps sell some more tix. I've given up on the possibility of izzy or steven so idgaf anymore if they show up. I'm actually tired of folks bringing it up, obviously it ain't happening. Anyhow looks like everyone had fun. I'm looking forward to the videos and pics. Cheers

Are they speeding up the songs?

pit tickets are available for this show, i just pulled some up.

Who's bringing the inflatable dolphins?

Alright, from that standpoint, I understand what you are saying.   We're good.  Here's the thing, I think.....on a forum like this with diehard fans, the band can almost do nothing right, even if it was the AFD 5 it would likely be ripped apart for whatever reason.  However, in a general sense, this regrouping is awesome.  But, in a place like this you have to expect that a lot of people would be a lot more excited about a true reunion than just a regrouping of 3 of the original 5 mixed in with hanger-ons (richard and frank specifically, Dizzy to a certain extent though he's been around since the Illusion records at least).    

A lot of people would still be bitching even if it was the afd5 "just a nostalgia band" "cash grab" "where's the new music" and that one guy would be " wtf where's dj ashba?" LOL. Whatever I'm still pretty stoked for what it is. Whole damn thing could implode and be over. People will be super pissed they missed one of these shows if that happened but they are too busy whining how it's not meeting their expectations to enjoy it. Sure a lot of thing could be better about the whole thing, but it's freaking amazing to see what we got so far. Never thought it was gonna happen.

If the band doesn't want to pay Izzy, what makes you think they're going to buy an expensive opener who wants much more than exposure to a GNR audience.   For those of you who will be seeing Chris Stapelton as the opener, you are in for a treat.  I saw him recently in San Antonio and it was damn good. 

What are the details on the izzy negotiations Eddie? Any word on who may be opening on the west coast shows?

It's probably just gonna sit on the alt like perfect crime and won't likely be played, but we will see when the tour gets underway. I'd trade that song for the seeker any day

Wasn't Niven the one who said Axl wouldn't reunite because Axl thought Slash was the devil? Maybe Axl was caught up in this struggle and now alan thinks he gave in? Anyhow del seems to be keen on the whole satanic ordeal and he's pretty close to Axl? Is it all theatrics or is there more to it?

There's nothing to suggest that they fell out. 

Angus made the reasons pretty clear in the recent interview where he spoke with Axl and Cliff. Brian's health issues are the reason he's out of the band, and if there's any ill-will it's probably only because he may not have expected them to continue without him. It was Brian's own call.

You think? Brian "I've got an issue with my hearing, I may not be able to continue " then the band drops off his gear at his residence and makes a formal statement without consulting him. 

Seems like hasty decisions were made without proper communication.

HOW DID YOU AND SLASH GET BACK TOGETHER? HOW DID THE WHOLE THING HAPPEN?

 

is something that would logically be appropriate...

Was it Fred durst or steven Tyler? We need details (pitchfork in hand)

I Wonder what fernado could be referring to? But he always throws out some random info that seems to never amount to much. Hopefully it will be something good.

Also, it may be a bit off topic. that Bon Jovi Commerical for Direct TV or whatever, The first time I heard it, I didn't realize it was Jovi till I looked up. He sounds way to much like Jack Black. I cant be the only one that thinks that.

I think Slash is saying he wishes he could go back in time and change things like the commercial does. But maybe he is just loling @ jbj 

Jim I think you're an excellent comic. But please -Dave grohl? Axl is killing it and you should enjoy it while it lasts. It could a been some nobody from an ac dc cover band that's what the options were. You seriously think that would a been better? Angus wants to continue on so that's happening. If Brian was capable I would hope it would be with him, but that's not the case. They had a bunch of shows sold and Axl stepped in to help, end of story. Hopefully Brian returns but if he doesn't I hope ac dc continues.

Tom Petty would be unreal. He just put out a new Mudcrutch album, so... Nah. If that happened, we would journey to FL for that. My old lady worships TP...

What is this tom petty talk? Just speculation? That would be awesome if it happened. No opener? When has that ever happened with gnr? Doubt on this tour they would have no opening act just doesn't seem plausible. I'm guessing maybe they are gonna hit the weaker selling shows with decent openers to boost sales. Seems like a smart move

Maybe he gets the opportunity to see how a different band is operating and he gets some ideas. 

AC DC are rock legends. Love their tunes and Axl is doing a great job you should really check out some of the videos. That being said, I'd rather see gnr move forward and release some music than have Axl spend all his energy fronting that band. He stepped in and helped out so the show could go on. After that's done I'd like to see him do some things with gnr.

Sometimes I wonder if any one in the band brings up this forum...like if they got a social media person and he said "hey what's your biggest forum where the fans go...Nightrain? Maybe we can interact with some of the bigger gnr fans and do some cool things for them" 

Fernando: "no, gnr fans are assholes, they all go to mygnrforum...we don't go there anymore" 

Even though this is the biggest/best gnr forum some users take it too far. I'm all for criticism but some folks take it too far. Guess that's the Internet. Keyboard kowboys.

Cube's son came out the first night...

Pretty sure Eazy's son came out the second night and performed one song.

ahh, i must have missed that. it would be awesome if they opened for gnr and while i think it's awesome i bet a lot of gnr fans hate rap music.
