  1. What concert are you talking? My general musing is 1) Can you imagine if there was another universe where Slash and Duff never left the band - and they continued releasing albums after 3 or so years? Really lean into the things that they were doing individually and make it GNR? 2) The 2002 setlist was really strong. The Chinese Democracy era was a strong period. Shame we didn't get more out of it.
  2. Speaking of vinyl, has Lies been re-released recently? Is it only available in the big box? Greatest Hits was my first purchase. What makes it unique now is Sympathy for the Devil, which didn't have a wide release.
  3. That's what they call their online store that sells a selection of the concert merchandise online. https://gnrmerchtruck.com/ I'm pretty sure the event tee isn't 100% like the shirt at the show however the overall tour shirt I bought seems identical to the one at the show.
  4. I love that the GNR Merch Truck is open and selling t-shirts for today's rescheduled show.
  5. https://cashortrade.org/guns-n-roses-tickets/ I'd check it out. SPAC has been offered on that site for ages. If you've never ever of the webcite, don't fret. It's legit. It's used mostly by jam bands but anyone can use it. It severs to allow fans to hopefully sell to other fans at the same price (or less) than what was paid.
  6. Very interesting. $50 is face value. If it's legit, a great deal. The ones I'm seeing online are several times that price. Let's pretend it's legit - you are paying the same price as those that bought it at the venue. If it's fake, you've paid $50 for a fake. Everyone's financial situation is different but I'd wager face for a shot at legit is worth the work. My $0.02. FWIW, I was walking around towards the end of the show and it looked like the Pittsburgh poster was still available at the merch stands.
  7. @gnr1967, bravo on you for waiting that long for a brief encounter with Axl Rose. The show ended around 11pm - for you to wait almost six hours for the possibility of seeing the legend is dedication. I've seen them in Atlantic City 2012, Washington DC 2016, Hershey 2023, and Pittsburg 2023. This probably is my favorite. I spent most of the show in the G/A front area and the last few songs on the first base side. If you can't fully see the video board behind the band, you're really missing out on a really cool visual part of the act. This was my favorite for a lot of reasons outside of the band and this and that. I am a dork / nerd when it comes to music. I love all types of music. I like new music. I love when GNR plays the new tracks or tracks that haven't been played forever and a day. My wife shared that the folks went crazy for the old stuff and not really the new stuff. I understand why but also part of me would love for them to write another anthem song to close out the show. That's a nerd in me and I know songs don't matter as much as performance. I've never seen a live debut of anything. It was really cool to see Perhaps live for the first time. I'll take the positive spin. I've heard the song a bunch since it's official release. I was shocked that Axl sang the whole chorus. I'm sure that will change. It was great. The merch was great and happy to spend my money. The sound was great. It was a good time. I look forward to the next tour. I have a cute picture of my kiddo I might share once I figure out how to upload it.
  8. Pretenders crushed it. My wife and seven month old enjoyed it. One of them even slept peacefully through the music Good stuff.
  9. When you say you bought the song, what do you mean? There are places to buy this online?
  10. What a treat, indeed. The song is released, the have good merch available for pre-order, AND they released a music video that's pretty cool. What a week. I hope tonight is even more awesome.
  11. GNR Reddit might not like a lot, but posting a link to the radio version is hunky dory. https://www.reddit.com/r/GunsNRoses/ ^^ Pinned link ^^
  12. Wow. Just wow. The final version is so much more amazing than I could have imagined. I really like the sound/vibe/vocals. So awesome.
  13. Riddle me this, where else would GNR play except a stadium? The optics of 30K or 40K in a stadium that could seat twice as many isn't great. Where else? If 30K people attend. + That's bigger than the local amphitheater, at 25K. I've been to shows when it's that full - it is zoo to get in/out of there. + The local hockey/basketball arena certainly couldn't hold this many people. Unless they are playing multiple nights at places - even a half filled football stadium is larger than any other venue I can think of. At least in terms of "traditional" venues - outside of a stage in the woods. Look on the bright side, infrastructure to support twice as many people. Should be slightly easier to get in/out. I realize perception is everything.
  14. I really like this one. https://gnrmerch.com/collections/kids/products/sweet-child-omine-white-baby-onesie Speaking of official merch, it looks like some of the merch bags at the show includes a 20% discount to the GNRMerchTruck.
  15. That seems like an odd response. You were banned for mentioning that a new tune was a available on a jukebox at a bar? Seems overkill.
  16. It could be nothing. It could be something. AT one point during the show - maybe after Rocket Queen - it looked like songs were thrown out and vetoed by Axl. It looked like Frank said something and Axl shook his head. It look like Duff said something and Axl shook his head. No idea what happened except Frank and maybe others nodded, and Axl said "no".
  17. Great show. Some weird women around me that bummed things out. Overall, the band is great. It was a lot of fun. I enjoyed watching the bands chemistry. It all sounded great. Even better than watching glastonbury at home.
  18. I can't recall if it was you or another member I want to thank for providing your experience from Hershey park.
  19. Are you saying Carrie Underwood is the worst opening act ever?
