If that was the case though wouldn't Bucket be listed in the writing credits?

Maybe - but it could be a similar situation to absurd, where Pitman and a lot of the NuGuns guys weren't listed even though they wrote it. I'm just not sure I trust the writing credits from GNR to be factual.

I'm no musician or expert but I think I can recognize Slash. I heard a clip that had isolated the guitar in the outro of The General, and it totally sounds like Slash.

Isolated would definitely help, as it currently stands its quite buried under heavily distorted vocals and effects.

Not to throw my hat into the "whose playing guitar" discussion... but to my ears it's Buckethead in the outro of the General, Slash throughout Monsters, and Fortus at the tail end of Monsters.

The General outro is pretty consistent with Bucket's wah sound/tone, fast picking, and half bends he does. I'm surprised so many people are 100% convinced it's Slash (which it very well could be)

Did GN'R start on time? I've read they were 30-40 minutes late at the last few shows.

They came on about 8:15pm - Alice in Chains finished at 7:30 so they were only late 15 minutes assuming they were supposed to start at 8.

It's almost like I used the search bar before posting here 

Does anyone have the high resolution lithos for Glendale, AZ and the Gorge, WA? I can't afford paying for that on eBay but I'd like to print them myself. 

I know there was thread started awhile back that collected all the high res images but I dont see those

Is it possible to have my account deleted?

I ask because I know a post of mine was taken out of context and posted as an article on UltimateGuitar and other news sites-which I was not comfortable with.

I know an option would just be to log out and not post but I really would just like to disappear completely 

I think I saw somewhere on the rules that accounts could not be deleted so I was just wondering.

When did this place become GOP central? Every time some star simply criticizes Axl people shit all over them, yet since Axl is attacking a conservative politician everyone's shitting on him this time? Never knew this forum was so politically biased.

I think people are just sick of the political temper tantrums from both sides (myself included) and don't want to come to a GNR forum to see more the political bullshit we experience every day of our lives outside this place.

The Taken by Trees cover has to be the oddest.

I actually really like that version. Gives a new vibe to the song.

Holy crap that sucks. Did they accommodate you at all so you could get in? I've heard that Stubhub does what it can in those cases, if you have bought from there.

I can't even with someone throwing away free backstage tickets...i

wow

sorry about that! I'd be so pissed off I'd do things i cannot tell

In some ways I cannot be mad at what your gf's sister did. At least she was honest, doesn't like the band did not want to put herself through that hassle. I would probably done the same if given tickets to an artist I dont give a damn about.

At least she didnt go there to fake it.

Accussing people of jealousy is usually like the most basic and stupid thing to say.

Their concert? Not really. They are selling tickets to "their" show. They want people to attend. Audience is part of the show.

If you dont want an audience then throw a private concert at someone's mansion and invite only the ones you want.

Their money? Kinda. The invested in the production of a tour and they are looking for revenue and to recover the investment.
That money comes from the pockets of the fans.

Yeah, they dont need to act like a UN Charity Foundation; neither like a brothel.

Well the story gets quite long and involved but the short version is I was an idiot and bought them from craigslist. They were through ticketmaster and they were hard copies (which are significantly more difficult the counterfeit). I pad $300 for a pair the night before the show, so it was a good deal but it wasn't anything crazy that made me doubt it. I met the guy who looked a bit sketchy and I asked to see his phone to make sure it wasn't a burner phone. He had an iPhone 6 so I thought it was fine. Anyway the tix were fake so I went to the window and no one at will call could determine if they were legit or not because they were well enough printed that the bar code actually worked but had an invalid code. They scanned them a sent them to corporate who then determined they were fake. They gave me the impression they could slide me some under the table as mine were so well printed but of course at the last second they didn't.

SO they then called me to the side to file a police report, while I was doing so another guy came up to file a police report as well. Keep in mind there were 50,000 people outside waiting to get in. The other guy looks at me and describes the guy who he bought them from which was exactly the same guy I bought mine from. This guy paid $600 for a pair. So judging by the fact that two people bumped into each other at the same police officer at the same time and got taken by the same guy, Im sure he got quite a few people there outside of us.

I then went back to the window and bought more tix. I'm finishing up Pharmacy School and living on student loans so it was definitely not in my "budget" to do so but I wasn't going to let some asshole steal my one chance to see GNR.  Sort of put me into a bad mood for the show but it was all still worth it. 

So funny story...my girlfriends sister is a model here in Phoenix. As I was driving with my gf to the concert she texted us and said that she got backstage tickets to the GNR show from her modeling agency. She then said she was too lazy to go the the show (she sucks). She said the tix weren't transferrable so she literally threw them out. Fastfoward to me arriving at the concert where I go to scan my pit tickets (hard copy tix) only to find out they were fake and I got robbed. So moral of the story-fuck models who get free tickets and throw them out 

Anyone have a glendale one they are selling? Id love one as I was at the show. I got there super early and they were sold out. 

Just got pit tickets for next to nothing. Pays to wait it out I guess! I'm bringing my girlfriend into the Pit-how has it been so far? We will probably just hang toward the back. Any suggestions?

FINALLY-the Phoenix Litho is next. Please don't suck

What a pile of shit that Skrillex is.

Reminds me of when I had to endure Kanye opening for the stones. 

I know I'm in the minority here, but I love me some Kanye...hence my avatar picture. I would have been in heaven there 

That litho is awesome. Im always surprised by the creativity of all of them

I thought Slash's solo was pretty solid...

That's a pretty cool idea!

Sorry just doesn't translate well live in my opinion (NuGuns renditions either). It's boring

That was awesome 

That was legendary. Good for him. Good on Axl for moving past all of the negative things said and giving him his shot. 

Those designs so far are awesome. I really hope Phoenix has a cool one and they don't just slap a sunshine or the grand canyon on it...

Just got back from the Phoenix show. Buckethead was stellar as usual

You would be looking at cancellations with those stats.

Yeah that's what I was thinking too. I would guess but showtime it'll be 50% capacity but thats still a terrible showing. It wouldn't surprise me if they block out the upper deck first and move everyone down to the lower bowl.

Everyone always makes it Axl vs. Slash.. If Axl was the good guy then why did Duff and Izzy leave because of Axl as well?  Never mind the countless other people who have had issues with Axl.. 

Slash,Duff,Izzy,Matt,Bucketed,Robin,Brian,Bumblefoot,DJ,Tommy,Josh,etc

Not to mention all of the managers he's plowed through. And how can we forget the actual objective evidence of 3+ hour late starts, inciting riots, 15 years of delays on an album, all the accounts of skipped rehearsals and not showing up to the recording studio, etc. 

I'm not saying anyone is innocent but for people to claim that it isn't primarily Axl...c'mon.

It's nice that he is redeeming his reputation at this point but the guy has shown that he can stir the pot with the best of them.
