I don't get all the hate for this venue. Maybe it's because I'm in the UK and bands playing small, hip venues has mostly been a cool thing to do.

I like them. When they are good they are really good. Some of their stuff is a bit middle of the road but they release a lot so that is bound to happen. I think they are a good value live band, their crowds seem to go mental for them. Dookie is a brilliant album, up there with AFD in terms of a defining sound at the time of release. I listen to it quite a lot.

Civil War! Yay :-)

Sounds like you all had a great time. Can't wait for all the pics Powerage.

I wonder if this is how this show came to be. Maybe Chris and the guys booked something first then Axl decided to join in because the original band playing that night was moved to accommodate GnR weren't they?

It has to be Duff really doesn't it? Followed by Izzy perhaps, then Slash and I think maybe Steven and Axl could vie for last place.

Marc may think differently of course.

Just to add, that is based on growing up more as that is slightly different from changing.

Some interesting quotes here from Scott about set lists and creative direction.

I see thanks

And he does the best voice when he calls for an interpret, as if he's talking to a bunch of idiots.

Ive always wondered if he meant to sound patronising.

He sounds like he's talking to a three-year old. I'm sure it's on purpose.

Awesome in any case

Which video is that?

That video posted yesterday of him signing autographs at Kansas showed him wearing pink trackies and carrying the cane. Seeing as tracksuit bottoms are for comfort rather than style makes me think the cane is for more than looking pimp.

I miss the sleeveless tops where you could see his arms and all his tattoos. Trivial I know but I can't remember a recent time he has worn something like that. He looked good in them.

I can see that all the public negativity, the petitions etc...might have motivated Axl into wanting to prove something. I don't think he cares what forum folks have to say but he could have got pissed at the media over the Governors Ball.

I'm going to say no but will be happy to be proved wrong.

Yes, I loved the YouTube one.

Just going through the comments again. Pure gold! Lol

We should award gold, silver and bronze for the best ones.

Honestly I think it is pretty cool to see a band play in this type of venue. I hope that whoever goes gets some rarities!

Oh and the comments section of that website is getting crazier lol

Yes it's gone mental now. It should have stopped when it was funny.

I think this will be a cool gig to attend. Well done to those who got tickets, I guess they are trying to make good their promised to nightrain members about exclusive stuff.

I think so too, I'm not sure why it's getting so much hate....

I don't know why either? It is like that old saying, haters gonna hate.

I would have thought the opportunity to see them this up close and personal would be a good thing in most peoples eyes.

This is a great fan opportunity. I guess they really care about sounding good at the Governors Ball because with only 600 tickets I can't see they would be making any money.

It's going to be a bit like having the band play in your house.

Ha ha

Ha ha. This is too funny. Own up those responsible :-)

Just read the rest of the comments. Lol!

Can you imagine if Axl realises the entire crowd was mygnr. It would have nothing on St Louis.

isn't really Guns N' Roses without Slash. Chinese Democracy was crap.

Who posted that one then? Naughty!

On topic, 600 is tiny. Could we fill that with mygnr? Cheaper than a million plus for a private gig.

Probably an ebayer.

That picture always makes me laugh. Slash couldn't be any further backed into the wall. I wonder what they were discussing?

Axl's going to have a lot of time to rethink his relationship with Slash/ the former members, as this tour is about to wind-down. Although, they've talked about another run in Vegas, I can't imagine these guys being together this fall to make it happen. The constant touring keeps Axl from having to think about his reunion options, if there are any. I imagine finding a proper management team to orchestrate a massive tour would be difficult. I agree with many of you that the team in place now is not adequate and would need to be relegated to handling Axl's needs only.

I believe this lineup is days away from being through. Before too long, you'll see it slowly disband. As evidenced by the Dallas performance, the current band doesn't care anymore. They're tired and they know that there's nothing that they can do as one unit to record together, at least with Axl anyway. They're lifeless on stage and even Richard's enthusiastic thrashing of the guitar moves seem contrived now. You're about to see Ron, Pitman, and Frank get their electronic music project moving after this tour is over. DJ will become occupied with his other projects, and Richard and Tommy will find things to keep themselves busy and then we'll be back in the dark ages once again.

I love the current lineup and have always had hopes that they would create music together, but I guess it isn't meant to be. It's clear that they all think Axl's a great guy but several of them don't care for the people that manage the band/ his life. Night after night, they are out hanging with the fans after the shows, only to be told that Axl can see them now, and then they are led to Axl's VIP holding area where Team Brazil opens the doors with excitement to a heard of chicks...and band members who have waited with the fans to hangout with the singer of the band they're in. It's gotta be weird for them.

I've enjoyed this run while it lasted and hope that if a reunion ever does happen, they do it right, and record at least 2-3 new awesome songs together before the tour occurs. I also hope the ticket prices are less than US$200 but I think I would pay a small fortune to see everyone on stage together again.

How do you know this?
