This x 100

Somebody's clapping was off tempo on the eighth row. Wouldn't happen if Melissa wasn't a part of this.

Dang... This sounds great!

TB rarely communicates with fans so directly like she did. You still choose to bleieve there's a chance. I'm sorry but you will be very disappointed by the end of the night.

Didn't say I expect it to happen. Just saying the comment doesn't mean anything.

All the same, would it really kill this band to stop making everything a surprise? Maybe they get as much entertainment from watching us scramble and nerd out on this forum as we do from watching them on stage.

Beta's post doesn't really confirm anything. She didn't say they AREN'T going to be there. She just clarified that her post isn't confirmation that they WILL. If they are, the entire company (Beta included) is in a nondisclosure agreement. So even if they are going to be there, it only makes sense that she congratulate the album contributors but not reveal their involvement.

I mean, if they ARE going to be there, they're not going to spill the beans with a Beta Facebook reply (or Instagram or whatever it was).

Nothing has been confirmed nor denied. Heck, Izzy probably doesn't even know yet if he's going to go on stage. "Maybe I will. Or won't. Squirrel!"

My friend told me that Adler flew into New York yesterday. Can not confirm but he usually isn't wrong.

GNR CSI begins now!

I'm an eternal optimist...I think Adler and Izzy will make appearances. I don't know how or who, but I think this show will be a very different/special show. Of course, I won't be surprised if it's just a normal show with the entire AFD played.

I'll be surprised if Adler DOESN'T appear.

I'll be surprised if Izzy DOES appear.

I was ready to bet any amount the AFD5 WON'T be there.

Then I had a dream last night that it DID happen.

Dang it. Now my hopes are higher than they were, against all odds. Why do we do this to ourselves???

Personally, I would like to hear a 12 minute version of Rocket Queen. The Slash/Fortus combo is a strong one. Locomotive, another interesting option, the same basic idea. 

With or without Axl having special relations with someone in the studio?

if they are, hopefully someone asks them about Izzy rejoining and Frank departure

This is probably why they won't meet with fans or do interviews. Dodging the big questions.

Dizzy deserves far more respect IMO. I don't think it's so much that people dislike Dizzy as much as the ancient "Keyboards in GNR" argument. It's the keyboardist on the opposite  end of the stage that usually drives people nuts for towel flinging or being too "lit" or whatever. Dizzy has been around long enough to get some respect.

Then, the RRHOF finally gives him a nod, and he bails... but that could have been a job security move. Idk. As someone who plays keys myself, I never liked how the pianist never gets much credit.

Just checked this "Big Announcement" on my way to work.

I want to flip a table over. It's bad that I can lower my expectations as much as possible and still this disappointed.

GNR getting an announcement out is like Ricky Bobby trying to get in the car with the cougar.

After Jimmy Kimmel/Coachella week, I'm like... if they announce Axl's popcorn burned in the microwave, I'll want to pat them on the back and be like, "You did it!"

Here's the Part B of the bummer that could be Wednesday's announcement:

If they announce an AFD show without Izzy and Steven, we're going to be speculating on here whether or not they'll show up until the concert is over. Troubadour 2.0, only without the new excitement.

We know better, and yet we'll still be torturing ourselves if it's an AFD show.

(And hey - if it IS an original 5 show, then we can just argue about Dizzy being involved to play on post-AFD songs that they'll probably include).

Hoping for AFD5 (plus Dizzy for some Illusions, etc. songs, but let's not start that side debate lol).

At best, we'll get a new song.

Official prediction: nothing about AFD 30, and the NITL tour is getting a few more dates.

Point of optimism: They silenced Adler and tweeted Happy B-day to Izzy, and that's about it.

Dizzy

Sadly, I'm mostly like Axl in the sense that I went through 21 guitarists before getting my album out. It was a band format, everybody quit, and it became my solo project. (Except my album took 5 years, not 14 or 9 LOL).

Crap!! I'm a dictator!! LOL
