Saw VR once- there 1st tour and was at a small Mpls club.  It was very cool seeing Slash n Duff back together on stage again. 

Saw Slash with MK&C last year.  Saw Steven Adler  (Fremont Street in Vegas). 

**Saw Axl Rose with a bunch of musicians I had never heard of a few times.  

1994-2016.

At least for Izzy his bank account grows every time it's shows due to Slash playing that riff for 3 seconds.

I don’t know if Izzy and the others receive mailbox money for this commercial?   It’s literally just Slash’ part.  I doubt anyone else is getting paid.   

Estranged, It's Alright and YCBM.  (live versions of all).  ***bonus track of Sail Away into SCOM

Ain’t It Fun.  LALD.

LOL, GA tix at Metlife are now $395 face value before TM fees hahaha

Wait it out.  I just scored Bruce 4th row  tickets for next weeks St Paul show for $200 a pop.   Until now they were close to $1K per.  Just play the game. 

You all do realize that “we” the consumer set the price right?   Bands charge what people are willing to pay…the old supply vs demand.  I almost always play the dynamic pricing game and wait it out.

No doubt.  Snowflakes would have cancelled them in 10 seconds.  - https://www.foxnews.com/media/slash-claims-guns-n-roses-wouldve-been-canceled-today-glad-we-didnt-have-internet-back-then

Amazing that Axl basically disappeared from public eye so long…literally went from biggest “star” to totally disappearing.   With his hat on- wonder if that’s because of hair transplant, his hair was definitely thinning last we saw him in public (‘94ish).   

Figure out a way to either include an acoustic set in middle or mix in more acoustic/semi acoustic songs like-  Your Crazy, OIAM (in these times he'd have to use some alternative lyrics), Look At At Your Game Girl, It's Alright, Dust in Wind, Patience).  

Throw the towel in on YCBM.  

I remember the fur coat and basketball game rumors.  When a Philadelphia Riot ended a Guns n Roses Tour.  -  https://ultimateclassicrock.com/guns-n-roses-2002-philadelphia-riot/

The “most dangerous band in the world” would still toss whistle and microphone into crowd.  Lame ass move on Axl to cave to the pressure.  Disappointing.

This. I don't get the love for him. He seemed like a spoilt brat post 2011. Constantly moaning publicly with stuff like the above. Having a go at that fan when he responded in the first place. Badmouthing gnr all over the place yet staying in the band regardless for his easy money. If it was that bad and he had integrity why not leave "axls band" as he called them.  

Agree.  Axl gave Ron a decent payday and probably helped Ron’s ego so he actually felt relevant and that he’d “made it”.  When in reality he was just a touring musician in Axl’s solo band.  Dude was embarrassing.  

Back in 2008 or so it was rumored that Axl was going to release a video for Better.  Whatever happened I wonder?  Anyone have any insight?

I was expecting crap...but that was really good!!  Impressive all around.

Led Zeppelin wrote/recorded and released the following in a 35 month span:

LZ I

LZ II

LZ III

LZ IV

Granted they were in their prime, but it shouldn't be that hard for Guns to make even 1 EP.  Axl must truly have nothing left in the old creative tank.   In which case they should  just play every song they have on tour  and mix em up night after night...25 songs a night/take 5-6 out and in each night.      

Definitely the UYI era live stuff.  Love watching those shows.   Such good memories….it truly was TWAT!

Looks like it’s in the setlist for her tour that kicked off this past weekend:

 

That was great.  Love that she is such a die hard!!!  

To me it's GnR's greatest song.  Love it!!!  

How am I just now stumbling on this?- 

Vegas residency.   Something like Def Leppard did at Zappos Theatre.  Vegas is an easy in n out so Axl could buzz home to CA between shows.
