Nightrain... wake up everyone who fell asleep during Knockin'.

Knockin'...

Okay, you guys/ladies have a point about Coma... this November Rain isn't the best, and I am not usually critical of Axl's voice. He does seem to be struggling.

November Rain

Hope they're not skipping Coma/that we missed it. Love that song.

No streams going at the moment? Can't find any on the FB live map, but don't know about elsewhere.

Guess they kept Wichita Lineman, then.

Fair point.

 

But the art in the box set was a must. They were celebrating a moment in time, you can't erase history. It is who they are/were. IF they ever released a UYI box set, there wouldn't be that kind of art.

True about the UYI box set. Would be cool if they released one, as I love the Illusions. Though preferably not at $999.

Out of all the crap to complain about, you focus on that shirt? You must be a woman. Are you forgetting what band you have chosen to support? 

 

You should be more concerned about his shitty performance.

I actually don't think Axl sounds too bad. The sound on my stream is just echo-ey. Which I have commented on as well. This is my first ever comment on clothes, I think, since I joined this forum.

Yes, I am a woman, who's been a GN'R fan since '87. I love (most of) their songs. Doesn't mean I don't think these kinda shirts aren't trashy. Same with some of the art in their $999 box set. And they're middle-aged men now, not the guys who used to live on the streets in the environment they were in. Most have wives/girlfriends. Some have daughters. Be kinda nice if they grew out of that stuff?

I'm not usually one to comment on clothes. I don't really care what they wear. But Axl's love of shirts like this... I still remember the lady in the trash can, and this isn't much of an improvement.

Sleep well! Hope there will be some good videos for you when you wake up.

What's wrong with that, just sit there and calmly consentrate on listening, not trashing about

I get seats these days, because I am 5 ft 2 and too old to get pushed around. No way I can actually sit down, though. It's nice to have that bit of space and not having to queue for hours for a good spot, but I just can't imagine just sitting there, like at a classical performance. I gotta be on my feet, taking everything in and singing along (badly).

Gosh, people are actually sitting down. Sitting down at a rock concert?

Am I the only one who thinks that Axl sounds good, the echo notwithstanding?

I wonder if Periscope has gone out of fashion and it's all about FB and Instagram now?

Jungle!

The Dennis one is far away, so you can't really see anything, but the sound's gentler on the ears.

Ooooh! Here were go!

Nothing live yet ?

There's a FB stream linked above. The Giuseppe one. Band's not on yet, though.

This Giuseppe guy is very excitable.

Hiya @Fernando!

Argh, was doing a show last night so I missed all this. But thank you very much for stopping by and shedding some light on things!

I am probably way too late, but just in case you stop by again...

* As you are in charge of the fashion designs, would it please be possible to have some more ladies' shirts with designs that don't involve skulls, blood, robots etc? I am not dissing them, and I am sure a lot of people like them, but I have also discussed this with some other female Guns fans and it would be cool to have some different designs to choose from. And also a choice between a deeper neckline and a regular neckline, as preferences for this differ. If you need some ideas, hit me up.

* I understand that no extra European dates will be added for this year, but if you are touring for several more years, could you please consider Manchester in the UK/ the north of the UK again? We love you guys up here.

* What are you most looking forward to on the upcoming tour?

It’s £129 at EMP and HMV. 

Ooh thank you! That's a huge difference! Wonder why Amazon is so out of sync.

Amazon dropped the super deluxe set to 138.74!

Gosh, I hope UK Amazon will follow. Currently £169.99 ($230).

I've voted for the Super Deluxe edition. I am interested in the book and I quite like the flyers and the picture prints. It depends on whether or not it will be available on Amazon UK, though. As it stands, I can only pre-order the digital download there. If it turns out they won't be offering the physical set, I'll pass, because if I have to order from Amazon US I will have to pay for shipping, and customs and import tax on what is already a rather expensive item, and I don't have much confidence in the GN'R merch site.
