Bruce Springsteen plays Bon Scott's hometown and opens the show with "Highway to Hell."

Perth Arena, Feb 8, 2014

this is what I mean.

be an artist,Axl.artists get good ideas(like Bruce doing this),they write music(Bruce and everyone else),

they RESPECT their fans.the ones that keep you with hookers and BMW's and all the money in the world.

if i pay 150+ for a ticket,that means I have to disregard something else I might want.

it's a lot of money just for a night.

it's DISRESPECTFUL to us fans to never change anything significant on the setlist over a decade(!).

i saw this show in 2006 at first.I want a major change in song order and songs played.

I'm not taking the slow Greyhound for 8 hours,finding hotel,spending cash i don't really have

on a show (CD,Jungle,Easy<etc)i know by heart.

even if it's axl rose live.

fuck that.

it means nothing anymore.

GNR after Slash and the boys is Axl.

it's him everyone comes to see.

"the last rockstar"....all that bullshit covering up that it's only a name.

W Axl Rose doesnt represent anything anymore.not rock n roll.he's a recluse,cruel millionaire

wasting money he gets by doing the laziest thing i can possibly think of.

instead of dealing with the past,celebrate the legacy ,he plays AFD live with some yes-men

30 years later to people who either werent there when Axl stood for something or are tourists who knows

a couple of songs and know the name GNR.

it's a shame people waste hundreds of dollars on an empty Axl.

Metallica,Bruce,Pearl Jam,the new AIC....if i wasnt hooked on Axl I wouldn't go to Vegas.

actually thinking of going.

some bs happened in my life and i have time.please make it affordable.

it would be good for me to see Axl now even if' he's a shadow of a shadow.

the better time i have to plan,the better.

make a fucking announcement!

Axl is one of them for sure.

not now.

Axl 1985-92.that's when he was AXL.

in 2014 he's just a charicature without ambition and drive.

Axl,Steven T,Plant,Kurt,Bon Scott,mick jagger,trent reznor.

but for a short time that now is forever gone Axl was the best.

in 1987-88 there was none better.

the UYI tours were frustrating but Axl was passionate.

my disappointment in Axl and what has become is immense.

todays the day in Cali where Axl actually lives.

happy bday.2014=change.

happy bday,my childhood hero Duff "Rose"Mckagan.

I've read the book it's so easy and other lies and dude's a cool motherfucker.

respect to making it to 50 after alcoholism,drug addiction,multiple bands,two year tours…..

Duff is a punk rocker at heart and it's him singing "new rose"by the Damned on TSI.

I think Axl disrespects the chili peppers with this statement.

Axl is 50 or more,he should know better,this was not right.

however,this is free publicity for Axl and the boys.

just by saying some random shit online the world of GNR fans blow up.

it will sell more Vegas tix for sure.

some people already think Axl is dead.

OP and I come from different point of views,I love the original lineup and all that.

however,I never thought of Axls hired hands as a real band.

it's Axl and some dudes who can play Sweet Child O Mine from 2002-2014 every night.

I reached the point when Axl called Slash a cancer.

that's not moving on and making music and work with interesting artists and the things he should be doing.

it's petty resentment about shit that went down many,many years ago.

and it's cruel,disrespectful,hateful and comes from a man whose soul is long gone.

this is my main concern for this years touring.

it's DISRESPETFUL to play CD.Jungle etc to the GNR fans.

it's so boring and so little is invested by Axl that to pay 200 dollars to see the same show I saw

in 2006(!!),we're in 2014,….no.

if they added just a couple of songs the CD diehards love like TWAT,Prostitute,Shacklers revenge EVERY night so they know they will feel good.

it's not enough for the "new"fans to only hear staples like Better and CD.

for me,a total makeover of the show.

new setlist,new stage,deep cuts we all love like Locomotive,PTU,Move to the city,Breakdown in a "new" version without the ending for example.

I think new songs written and performed by Axl is something we might never see.

he seems void of any inspiration.

I don't think CD2 exists apart from a riff and a drum roll.

Vegas will not happen for me unless there is a major change.

I'm looking for some kind of closure.

GNR(Slash,Izzy,Adler,Duff,Axl) were my main inspiration

growing up.

a little confused right now re no new music,no setlist changes,Axl not giving

a fuck.

maybe a surprise is coming but I think it's over.

in 1988.

with welcome to the jungle and AFD,

then i acquired the attitude.

I tried to look like Axl and be cool like Slash.

Powerful.

I'm VERY ambivalent about going.

i think i actually have the funds and if it's in april/may,the time.

but I at the same time refuse to see Axl,the man that inspired me,go to waste before my

very eyes.is it so hard to surprise a bit or pretend you care?

they need IMO to open with a song that's not CD or Jungle.

NIghttrain maybe like the old days or really whatever,just entertain me.

it's BORING with minimal changes over a 5 year tour.

in regards to new songs,I'm all for it.drop the embarrasing,show stopping(in a bad way)solo spots.

let's hear a new tune written by Rose/Ashba/Fortus or whatever.just.....make things interesting again

give me a reason to go.

i live 8 hours north of Vegas,I could do greyhound.it would be possible.

however,I think if THE SETLIST is the same and TWAT isn't guaranteed,I will not go.

they need to change the setlist.I have seen this a million times now.

I don't know,it is what it is.

I agree with OP.

Frank Ferrer is the worst GNR drummer ever.

No,I highly doubt any planning or rehearsing goes into this.

it will be last minute.

they can play "the set list" blindfolded ,sleeping.CD.Jungle etc….

I don't think anything will change.

I wonder why anyone at this point would pay 200 dollars to see this.

Axl proves his nay sayers right on almost every occasion.

I can't describe my disappointment when I realized that Slash actually was fucking replaced by

a dude in KFC hat.I mean,the chicken thing wasn't Slash or whatever.

now I see his contributions to CD,his igniting Axl all over again.

yeah,there was a time.

yeah,link.i don't believe it.

I just saw this.

respect to Bumble.finally.

this was real and from his heart.

oh man,and those prices...

I listened to illusions 2 this morning,"Get in the ring".

Axl seems to have lost all the passion and when you don't care about anything there is nada to be upset about.

Axl is just so far gone,he does not have anything to say for a rant.

if he shows emotion,it's only bitterness about the past and fake positivity.

no more inspiring rants when it's nothing there.

this whole thing makes me sad."take control of your life","don't let anyone fuck with you"…..it's gone.

answer to OP:NO.

W.Axl Rose is fading away before our very eyes.

my idol once upon a time.

my walls covered with GNR posters.

I think it's over now.

I don't see any change in Axl and he used 60 years on CD.

he needs to change work ethics and most importantly,change as a person,to create new art.

I just don't see that happening.

I wonder why Bumble doesn't leave.the money HAS to be really good.

Nobody's misimnformed. Playing in Argentina doesn't really count, they'd buy the ticket to see "Guns N Roses" even if Axl wasn't there.

And festivals don't count either, they may be one of the head linning bands, but that's because most of the people don't even know that

Slash's out of GN'R or just go to see other bands. I haven't heard about "GN'R" playing the Forum or MSG for a loooooooooong time,

and that's an obligatory stop for every big band that tours.

I know.they can't fill a "normal"arena/amphitheater in the US without Slash.

in SA they seem to be very into whoever bothers to play there.

W.Axl Rose,what happened?playing only markets where people take whatever is chicken shit.

I wish for Axl to get real again and stop this destructive/non artistic path he's on.CD,Jungle,easy….how lazy can u possibly be?

the whole story of W Axl Rose is a personal tragedy.

...And the whole story of Curt Cobain is a personal what?

tragedy.
