Rubicon

I've been to Dubai and Gelsenkirchen.

The gig in Dubai was 2017 and it was fun but the crowd seemed a little tamed. Maybe it was the lack of alcohol  (You can't get drunk if a beer costs 14 €)

The Gelsenkirchen gig this year was awesome. Got FOS tickets on the blackmarket for 80€. Totally worth just going for it and try to get a ticket right in front of the venue.
We got drunk of what was left of the budget (more than we planned ) ... so this was an epic night with a hell of a hangover next day...

Nah its not worth it, you get the digital tickets straight in your inbox, its not like you have to wait untill its closer to the event. And the actual hardcopy tickets are just the same, just printed and shoved in an envelope.

Thanks... That's what I thought. I don't want to spent 6,50 € on mail if they have just plain tickets you know? 

Does anyone know if it's worth the extra price to order tickets by mail for the NL show?
I've never ordered tickets via ticketmaster and normally use Eventim in germany. They have those nice "fantickets" which are worth collecting

As I’ve said before,everything out of the design is copyrighted by the band and Coachella,except for The skull hand,which is “riot of paints” a user on the Nightrain forums and whom I’ve acknowledged since,she was cool with it cuz she knew my intentions was just for fun out of excitement of the band and to make it a cool Twitter post.Thats the whole reason I never complained or expected anything out of it.I’m responsible for the “rearrangement into a full idea” so to speak.The band should acknowledge “riot of paints” because that whole “skull hand middle finger grabbing the AFD cross” is her sketch.They flipped the skull hand,modified it a lil,made the cross more clear,and moved the “GNFNRs” logo to a different spot For the band to make it more of their own,as shown in previous comparisons.Like I said before,Which pretty much is all of the bands/Coachella copyrighted art anyway as well as Riot of Paints skull hand.No disrespect but I think this is the last time I’m gonna talk about this,I don’t wanna keep repeating myself.All information about this is in this thread as well as during the Coachella shows thread.

I've totally lost respect by now...
I'm not sure if the band is to blame or just whoever runs the management. But this is not the way you treat your fans...

If this is for an Izzy tour: I'm in...

If this is for a spot in GNR: Please lord, NO!! I still have respect for the guy because he's avoiding this whole circus.

I think this is just plain stupid... 
What's next? GNHotel? GNThemepark? GNRental? 

I'm wondering if Axl sold his soul to the devil and that mo****fucker is just making fun of him 

I swear... I'm going to knock out and rob the first person I'll ever see wearing one of those stupid 1500 $ jackets or those sunglasses. Who ever buys this shit has definitely too much money. This is getting worse by the minute...

I don't think the show sucked...
We had a real good time yesterday and people around us were awesome. 

I just think that it's just not worth the money they are asking for FOS tickets. These prices are ridiculous. I've see incredible shows for 80-90 € and I always end up in the 3 first rows. 
And it's not like there's anything going to change anytime soon.

Aren't you there? Thought you where trying to get tix for the show?

Yeah I was there... I scored FOS 2 tickets for 80€ each... what a party  ^^

But the sound was awful. I could totally hear all solos from slash but Axl sounded so muffled... hell, sometimes I was wondering which song he was even singing.

Am i wrong or is the voice under all other everything else? The solos are on point but the sound? Hell?

On my way to Gelsenkirchen . 

cross fingers that I’ll get a ticket.

So.. 19.30?

They're staying in Düsseldorf and Axl is always the last person that gets to the venue... I'd bet they're not starting on time 

I'm gonna be there around 18.00 and will try to score some cheap tickets. 

I don't mind Izzy's aging... We all have to go there I guess.
But fuck: That guy used to be the best dressed dude in the band! 
Now he's dressed like my grandpa

There is no money is recording new music. The shows are based around nostalgia and new music won't affect the general fee paying audience (especially now they're touring festivals). There's nothing to gain, rather than nothing to lose. And that's why I suspect we'll never see music from this lineup. Actually, they have a lot to lose by heading in to a studio - the amicable relationship on which the multi-million dollar tour is based. They fall out, split and poof, the megabucks disappear. 

That's exactly what I think.
People paying these crazy ticket fees because of the nostalgia. They would totally jeopardize this if they'd promote a new album.

Not to mention that this is also about money:
I mean, why would Slash or Duff contribute to music for a band they doesn't even have any rights of? I could imagine they'd save up the good stuff for other projects.

All the anticipation before the Troubadour... I live here in southamerica and I literally was up all night listening to LA radios. There were some rumours about a press conference in Tower Records, that they were setting up a stage in the back... then we knew that some people were unpacking guitars and shit from a truck. Here on the forums, there were people saying that Guns N' Roses would be playing a secret show at the Troubadour, some others said the Whisky...

And that's were CSI GNR came from. People started looking at the Whiskey's and Troubadour website to see their schedule, and I remember there was a band that didn't exist at the time Guns did eventually played later.

That has to be the best time I had on this forum. People were flying from all over the world FROM RUMOURS. That night... I can't fucking believe how exciting was all of that back then.

And then our friend @Fede streaming the show from across the street. And seeing the first pics of Axl and Slash together.

 

Shit, man. It's sad this won't happen ever again. Nothing compares to this 2 days.

I totally agree!

Man, I would've killed to be there during that time. First time in my life I actually knew things at first hand... and still no way to get there sucked.

I went to see GNR in Dubai. Hell of a ride and way better then getting tickets for germany. Great gig but still... nothing compared to the excitement of the days before Troubadour.

No fckn way I'm paying again more than 160 € to see the same show over and over... 

I can't believe I'm really saying this...
But I actually like Axl on that pic. It reminds me of the old days. There are a shitload of old pics where he has the exact same expression.

Speculation is a bad thing.....Unless you know the facts

Man... you didn't get the memo where this was just a joke, huh?

For Christ sake: I don't really care who is rude or not or who staked him or whatever.
Fact is: Slash chose to be a rock star. So f***ing deal with those creepy people... If that's his way of dealing with it: fine!
I just hope that he'll be nicer to the fans who buy his records and GNR tickets that pay for his divorce...

How do you know he was in a bad mood ??? Could of been a prick and got what he deserved....

Just a speculation... if I'd been flying coach instead of the bad ass GNR airplane I'd be in a freaking bad mood

Slash went to Nashville after Little Rock to do that Gibson thing while the rest of the Band went to Miami. They weren't going to charter a jet just for him so he had to fly commercial from Nashville to Miami.

I guess that explains the bad mood

I've seen a lot of teenage kids wearing rock bands' T-shirts, mainly The Ramones. I once told one of them something like "you listen to The Ramones? that's great!" and the disarming answer was "huh?.... oh, no, it's just a cool T-shirt"

 That's quite the same thing that happened to me once...

But there is still hope:
I met a guy (about my age) with his 13 year old daughter in line to see Mötley Crüe. 
I was like: "Wow... it's cool that you listen to this stuff..."
Girl: "Yes...I love Rock! My Dad takes me to every concert. He took me to see Robert Plant... He is great!"

 I was very confused and really impressed that a girl that age even knows who that is. 
So: There's still hope for the next generation...

I feel so extremely sorry for the fans who actually paid a sh*tload of money for those tickets and got ripped off with an ordinary NITL show
