Check your local Kohl's...they have a monochrome colored shirt with the 2016 variant of the bullet logo on it! Looks pretty cool! 

I think this is a monochrome version of the original bullet logo. The "ROSES" lettering is off-center, more to the left, it's dead center in the new version. Cool shirt anyway, can't buy that one in Germany :/

Dude wtf, the last couple o' shows the songs were played only a little bit too fast, but right now they're (or probably Frank is) fuckin' RUNNIN' through Jungle... sounds very lame when it's played THAT fast. It's really fast right now, sadly...

You mean these aren't real? LOL

Ahahaha oh man that's awesome, love the giant mic as well Which band is that?

Awesome one last post and I'll stop, but this is just too funny, these are Immortal's fake cabs AND amps (as if Immortal weren't ridiculous enough themselves :D)

But the most ridiculous thing is the inverted cab cross, hahaha

I was wondering about this as well. If you watched the performance yesterday, during Rocket Queen the little girl in the tophat was dancing during the song. I found that hilarious.

For real? Ahahaha, I gotta see this

Edit: Just watched it, though it would've been funnier if the girl just danced on the Marshall logo...

Still can't decide if I find the screen-cabinets funny or at least a bit ridiculous

For the most part - yes. The stuff on stage is just for show. I can't say all bands are like that (Brian May, for example, still uses his same set-up including mic'd amps on stage), but it's becoming pretty common these days what with the more elaborate stage set-ups and desire for consistency between venues. That's talking arena and stadium shows - small theaters and clubs are probably still the usual way, but again, it depends on the band and crew.

Sometimes cabs are mic'd backstage (I assume Slash goes this route since he's pretty old school), other times the particular musicians's rig goes direct to the board. Geddy Lee doesn't even use traditional bass amps anymore - he goes direct to the house mix.

In-ear monitors (or front of stage monitors) can be used in either situation since amp cabinets on stage don't make the best or most forgiving judge of levels.

Yep, I also think Slash uses mic'd up cabinets. Recently I watched a Rig Rundown of Richard Fortus' stuff used in 2014 or something (def not NITL tour), he uses a combination of cabinet simulators that run directly into the house PA and traditional mic'd up cabinets. 

Whats also funny is that most bands nowadays (Slayer for example) have huge "walls" of Marshall cabinets on stage which are completely empty and "cut in half", so they basically just use the front of the cabinets, purely for looks  This way, the roadies don't have to carry so much weight/speakers that, in the end, won't be used anyway...

Edit: ...and then you have GN'R, takin' it to the next level with f'n screens in their 'cabinets'  haha so awesome

You only need a monitor to get feedback.

Haha true, totally forgot about that as well

where are the "strippers" from the early shows this year?

Gone, and I hope for good...

Great. Right when I actually had the time to watch it, they've blocked it. Sheesh.

Google the "Artisan News" Youtube Page and watch the video there, it worked for me. Probably they disabled the embedding of their videos.

Edit: Cool lil' clip btw, it is nice to see/hear the guys talkin' instead of all those teasers w/ overdubbed original songs...

Then what does he do to get the feedback effect without having working amps or cabs onstage? 
And I did notice him going towards them when he wanted feedback in a few videos.

I don't know how the feedback works, probably it's just insanely loud and it happens 'automatically'? 

In the attached picture from the Detroit show you can see that the onstage 'cabs' really are screens, I find it funny how they even went as far as displaying images of the actual cabinets and speakers (including the Marshall Slash Girl Logo) on the screens before the show starts

In the video Slash posted on his Facebook page (from today's Washington gig) he walks off the stage and you can see his amp rig (including the Silver Jubilees and Slash Signature heads, which are essentially exact clones of the Silver Jubilees, AFAIK) and his guitars, so he definitely does not use any of the onstage stuff.

EDIT: I know how feedback works, I just don't know how he does it in this particular situation

2 San Francisco E-Tickets for sale!

Hey, I had to make some changes to my holiday planning (flying to the USA from Germany for GNR), which is why I am now going to go to the Los Angeles shows instead of the San Francisco show.
Of course I couldn't wait and bought SF tickets the day they were released. 

Now I have 2 E-Tickets for sale, Section L107, Row 35, Seats 11 & 12, which I'd like to sell for 300$ for both, the price I paid at Ticketmaster, because this trip is going to be veeery expensive for me as a student.

Contact me if you're interested

@Tyler Drama and @Black Sabbath back at it again 

awesome how on the first pic the hand is placed so perfectly that the bullet logo says "guns n poses"  

I don't think a single one of the amps on stage was used. Amps on the stage of huge stadium shows are just for looks, behind the stage is where the main amp rig(s) are located, mic'd up. A lot of photos of Slash's amp rig were posted and it was also shown in the teaser videos, it's still the Silver Jubilees. 

Also, the loudspeaker cabinets on stage are actually screens for the stage visuals/videos  that's kinda cool, but it shows that the onstage-amps are actually just for looks...

So A = Axl,

and J-SHAFT = Duff ???  J-SHAFT?!

Ahaha, gotta admit I haven't even realized the A and / thingy, but I just literally had to laugh thinkin' about how Duff's internal nickname might be "J-Shaft", wtf?

If this was authentically recorded on 18, June of this year then there is no way in hell we'll see Steven on the upcoming tour.   

As sad as it sounds, this is just what I thought as I was watching the video...

Nope, just ALG. 

And in the case of ALG, it's not about playing the drums fast/slow/whatever, it's about "feel" and groove, the shuffle rhythm might be kinda hard to play if you're only used to straight rock n roll drumming. Being on whatever kind of drugs Steven was obviously didn't help.

Yeah, it really is a nice song. 

Sucks that we won't get to hear "Burnout", though...

EDIT: Ahaha awesome, that's nice to know, thanks for your research!

Turns out this album was released in 2005. Haha, so this is Slash's Chinese Democracy

Kenny Aronoff plays Drums but it does not feature Duff, Lenny Kravitz or Iggy (Pop, I guess), and it only features one song with Slash, which is called "Vocalise".

First of all: if this is the wrong Subform, please move this thread

I just read an interview with Slash in a 1992 issue of Guitar World (screenshot attached), does anyone know that song "Burnout" he's talking about?

I can't find any "tribute to Les Paul" album from that time period, but I'd love to hear that song, especially because it was intended to be a GN'R song, and it seems to feature a killer lineup of musicians.

Probably the whole project was scrapped anyway, Slash mentions that it was very disorganized.

Izzy's working on a new song!

 

Sounds pretty awesome!

"Izzy Stradlin Buys New Guitar Weeks Before Guns N’ Roses Tour" 

He didn't even buy a fuckin' guitar. The headline says guitar and the article itself says Marshall Amp, which is what he apparently really bought.

Axl seems to be pissed that people annoy him by wanting his signature and then immediately sell the sold stuff on ebay. I guess I would find that annoying as well...

I wouldn't mind seeing AIC again but I don't think that's the case. Very happy with Lenny though 

Oh AIC has dates that conflict so definitely just a misprint 

Okay, it seemed kinda fishy anyway, and the publisher of the German version of Rolling Stone is infamous for its "quality journalism", so...
