I finally watched the Ritz show last night, and it is ridiculous! What an amazing show! I saw Guns for the first time 8 days later, and was absolutely own away in the middle of 38k people. I can't imagine how amazing it must be been in the middle of 2500.

Has anyone not gotten their Use Your Illusion Super deluxe set that ordered through the GNR merchandise website? My order is right now in Ohio with no scheduled delivery date. I'm not happy about this. I paid money and Fedex is messing around. I'm not sure what to do. 

I ordered mine from Target and it's finally getting delivered this afternoon. Evidently UPS delivered it to the post office instead of my house. 

Ugh...still waiting for my box. Thanks Target! 

Dammit, Target delayed my delivery to tomorrow...I want to watch that Blu-ray!!! 

Did anyone possibly order an extra colored vinyl set they're willing to sell for not double the price? I ordered the vinyl box, but waited too long on that set.

Small correction to my previous post: the show in Minneapolis wasn't actually cancelled; just the city was not included in the original GN'R/Metallica tour schedule (but was added later).

Any idea why Chicago didn't get a Gn'R/Metallica show?

He elaborates more in his book (I read it in one sitting yesterday - fantastic read and full of Brian's humour). He says that it got to the point where he couldn't even differentiate voices or guitar tones and would constantly keep an eye on Cliff to assist with his timing and try to find the key. It's honestly heartbreaking. He really felt like he was letting everybody down.

Meanwhile, Brian at the start of the tour was ripping through the set as amazing as a 68 year old Brian could. He sounded terrific and very refreshed. I'm happy I caught two of those shows. I remember the first Coachella weekend being a little shaky but the second one I was astounded. He was better than the Black Ice tour. I listened to the bootleg non-stop. He was smart about note and melody changes and it was fantastic.

Agreed...I thought Brian sounded pretty good at Wrigley, and it was a very good show . Then we went to the United Center show five months later. AC/DC has always been known as an extremely loud band. We had 10th row right next to Angus' mini stage and it was so loud that we could barely decipher anything other than what Angus was playing. It was much louder than any of the other 8 shows I saw before that one. I'm guessing they may have turned up even louder, or lowered Brian's sound because of his issues? I watched YouTube videos the next day from people upstairs and Brian was absolutely awful. They pulled the plug four shows later, but certainly should've done it much earlier. We drove to Detroit later that year for Axl/DC and it was easily the best show I saw since the Razor's Edge tour, and probably even better because I'm a huge Bon fan and the extra Bon songs that were added. 

All fantastic songs, but RNDTH is the first  Gn'R song I ever saw/heard live so it holds a special place to me...plus that intro with the bass followed by the guitars is unreal.

Haven't seen any yet. Haven't seen any since February 2020.  But I'll make my return to concerts in November in Vancouver for  Smashing Pumpkins with Jane's Addiction & Poppy. 

Jane's is one of favorite bands ever, but Perry is basically a lounge singer these days and Dave isn't touring, but having Avery back will probably get me to go. TM dropped tix to $24 and $44 for the Milwaukee show, so I'll probably make the drive north. 

I dig that song quite a bit

For all the deal hunters here in the US:

Walmart Super Deluxe CD is $196

https://www.walmart.com/search?q=Use+your+illusion+deluxe

Target is $202 then an additional 5% with the red card

https://www.target.com/s/use+your+illusion
 

Now how to get Amazon to recognize those prices?

The vinyl super deluxe is $396 at Target. I may pull the trigger at that price.

Damn, this show is fire! I've always wanted to see a rock show in South America and this is exactly why. That crowd is insane! 

I'm kind of disappointed that they didn't release a set with vinyl and cd's.

Anybody received any of their Nightrain merch yet?

My buddy got his basic package last week. I don't think the more expensive ones have been sent out yet.

I finally spun this on Saturday. I like a lot of Duff's side projects, and really liked Tenderness. There are about 3 songs on this that I really dig, but the rest is really bad.

In the upper deck. 

No shit...I guess I walked right into that one. I'll rephrase it. In which cities were upper deck tickets $200m

If the ticket prices reflect the fact that it would be the third go-around without much new to add, I'd be totally up for it. But I'm not paying $200 for upper deck seats at a stadium again. Arenas, a co-headliner, cheaper tickets, or something new would be necessary.

Where were upper deck seats $200?

Spaghetti's not really a popular album and I don't think anyone paid to see them play covers so... I know that's not how it works but you know... I bet the audience would go home a lot happier if GnR played the songs that made the people pay up and go watch them instead of covers they like. Plus, when you play the same songs every other night, no matter how much you like the song, you'll start to grow tired of it.

They're playing 8 songs off Appetite, Patience and the hits from the Illusion albums. That's what the majority of ticket holders want to hear.

Awesome show. There were actually things I never knew about some of the GNR songs.

anyway, it was very cool to see early days of GNR.

I liked the show very much. 

And both Axl and Izzy were in love with the same woman. When Izzy and her broke up, Axl told her he loved her and she said it wouldn't work. That's when he cried and she told him don't cry.

I never knew this either. Pretty cool learning new stuff about GNR.

Did you know Axl and Izzy loved the same woman and Don't cry was written for her? New news to me.

I did hear that a while back.

I thought it pretty good, surprisingly. Nothing on it that hard core fans don't already know, but it was fairly well done compared to most of the crap that channel puts out. They did say that Adler was the bands only native to LA when he was from Cleveland and the narrator called the UYI albums 'Lose Your Illusion' once, but that's not bad for that channel. There were some good interviews with the sound guys who recorded Appetite, Steve Via, Joe Bonamassa, Nigel Dick, Traci Guns, etc and some archive interviews with Axl, Slash and Duff. It's worth the watch.

I really don't need to hear BHS performed by GnR ever again

I'm a huge Soundgarden fan and I didn't want to hear them perform it...not a fan of the song.

I think its super cool that they have rehearsed two AC/DC covers for this tour! The axl/dc concert i saw in 2016 remains one of the best live concerts I have ever seen.. it was insane energy!

Same...it was well worth the 6 hour drive. It was an insanely great show!
