I just don't see this happening. I'd bet more on Crash Diet being played than VR songs. 

Me too. But considering how they are playing cool with this regrouping ("Not in this lifetime Tour" haha), I wouldn't totally discard this possibility. Anyway, more than VR songs, I hope they bring back some of those gems from UYI!

Nice to see there's already a stream up and ready to go for the show

Wild prediction for the night, we're going to hear at least one Velvet Revolver track and another song off of Chinese Democracy besides the title track and better 

It would be amazing of they played any VR song... though i think it is pretty unlikely (not IMPOSSIBLE, but unlikely), it would be good to see that. 

I'm not sure about the streaming thing, but I'll stay tuned anyways.

Just got word that the GN'R Museum is NOT going to happen today or tomorrow in Vegas. They "tried" to make it happen, but couldn't for some reason.

Where did you hear that?

What time does the show start?

It is set up for 9pm Vegas time, but we know that they won't go onstage that early...

Oh no, I hope the show is not low energy due to Axl's injury 

Maybe I'm mistaken, but, if the short videos from Troubadour are a good picture from what is going to happen, Axl's focus will be on his vocal performance. He'll be more standstill for sure, he's not a boy anymore, and I don't know about this injury, but he's singing well and he's having a good time (at least, it is what it seems). We cannot expect more than that from Axl.

Besides, he'll have Duff and Slash by his side. There's no chance this show will be low energy, IMO.

I hope of many videos. I would like to create a multi cam show. Did a great job with Mönchengladbach gig and i tried Troubadour. Little bit of Multi cam on It's So Easy and Welcome To The Jungle:

 

Yea, you can flagged me for stealing videos. ... I don't care!!!

Please do it! Hopefully we'll have high quality videos from tonight!

God! How I love watching people gathering, everyone with those cool t-shirts taking the streets.

Everybody smiling, converging from a lot of diferent places.

This is awesome. This is a great time for us.

This is truly amazing. For us that cannot go to Vegas, to see you guys gathering is awesome.

I just hope this forum does not go down like it did last week. It is the best place for us to see what's happening during the show. 

Guys, did you see this? I wonder if they will stream the GNR gig!

Duff's It's So Easy (And Other Lies) and Reckless Road.
I guess I just like Duff's better than Slash's because he seems like the nicest guy ever. I love the way he talks about the his bandmates. Aaand he's the coolest.

 

Anyone read How To Be a Man (And Other Illusions)?

Edit: oops, just saw the replies above. I can't find this one to buy here in Brazil.

They didn't publish yet in Portuguese. I'm Brazilian too, but I had to buy the English version on Amazon.

I'm still reading it, and it is a good book (not as good as ISE, IMO, but, still, a good book). It's more like a collection of Duff's articles on Seattle Weekly. It focus a lot on his life post-GNR. Maybe the most interesting part regarding to the band is when he described his "reunion" with Axl in 2014 for the South American tour. 

Hi everyone! I've been around here for a few months, but only now I feel comfortable to answer something at this forum. And sorry for any mistakes, English is not my first language.

I only read Slash's, Duff's and Steven's books, in that order. Rather than saying that one is my favorite over the other two, or that one is better than the other two, I prefer to see them as three different points of view, coming from three guys with VERY different goals.

Even though Slash's book is not as personal as Duff's, I think it is a good book, considering that its goal is not to expose the deep thoughs and emotions of Slash, but "setting the record straight" about his departure from GNR. Whether all the facts are true or not, that's another story, but you can see that his focus is to explain why he left Guns and everything in between. Considering that, I think that the book does what it promises.

Duff's book, on the other hand, is an attemptive of exorcizing his demons of the past and showing who Michael Andrew McKagan really is. It is, by far, the deepest and darkest from all three, and the one which deserves the label "autobiography" the most. Maybe this is why so many people like this book.

Steven's book, as it seems to me, is more similar to Duff's on its goal, yet it also tries to clarify (or not!) what happen during his five years as the GNR drummer. In terms of facts, it is the less reliable of all three, but c'mon - not only Steven, but Slash and Duff were totally fucked up by alcohol and drugs back in the day...

After reading all of these bios, I'd do ANYTHING to see Axl writing his own book about his life. Not only because I also want to see his point of view about everything that happened in all details, but also because his life story is something else. He is incredibly inteligent, and a storyteller by nature (IMO). To talk about his fears, his tragedies and glories would be really something. I hope he does this one day!
