Woah Woah Woah.... Hold the motherfucking phone. BATON ROUGE? When? WHERE? Tiger Stadium?! Where did that rumor come from... 

GNR live at Tiger Stadium would be phenomenal. It's really the only venue large enough in BR to host Guns. I hope it happens. The only thing that makes it doubtful is the fact that they only played professional sports teams stadiums over the summer. No college teams as far as I remember. But you never know with this band.

I dont think that explains it at all. His tone carried on the same through the rest of the tour. It changed some during the Snakepit era, then again with VR. I think he used a Vintage Modern with the Jubilee head in stereo. I've heard the 2555x and it doesnt sound THAT much different than the original model. And his cabs are still just a box with V30s. Curious to see what his setup is for this tour. I wonder who is tech is these days?

Adam Day is his tech once again! I guess he figured if he was gonna go all out GNR then he needed to bring back his old GNR guitar tech! But back to his sound, Slash used alot more effects now than he used to. I've seen videos of his rig as recent as 2013 and his signal chain was alot longer than it used to be. That could play a factor too.

That plus the fact that he's not using the eq as mid boost for solos, which helped a lot to get that creamy UYI tour tone

Though I think he pulled out some old jubs for the Troubadour show, the ones without the marshall logo

He did. I saw those too. I think he may have had six total that he used from 87-91. And then in St. Louis his entire backline was destroyed but I think he may have managed to save two or three of the jubilee heads. I've seen them on his rack a few times over the past couple years

He used Marshall jubilees since at least the MTV show with GNR and all through the UYI tour and Snakepit tours even, just rebranded with Slash sig during Snakepit. Not sure what he's doing different now, but doesnt sound good to me.

The jubliees he's using are the new reissues. If I'm not mistaken, I remember seeing somewhere a couple weeks ago that he bought a few new ones at NAMM. Most of his old ones were destroyed in the St. Louis riot. Even though they're supposed to be exact replicas, the electronics change and advance over the years. And you also have to take into account the fact that his amp cabs are not the same. He's using his signature amp cab as to where in the classic era he used the jubilee cabs. I personally think his jubilee sound is much better than his AFD 100 sound

Dust N' Bones! Maybe with Duff on vocals since there's no Izzy? I want to hear them all scream the line "Just fucking gone!!!" at the same time! Breakdown and Locomotive would be great too! 

July 31st, New Orleans, LA Mercedez Benz Superdome

Count me in for NOLA!

Forgive if I'm wrong, but am I seeing Slash's old UYI rig on stage? I see several jubilee heads. That's one of my biggest wants for this tour, so happy he pulled it out of storage.

It looks like one of them are one of his older models. Most of them were destroyed in the St. Louis riot. But I did hear somewheres a couple weeks ago that he bought a couple of the new reissues at NAMM ??

New Orleans!!!!

Now the real question is Superdome or Smoothie King center?

I'd say the Superdome. I have no doubt in my mind they can sell it out
