Cut 2 PostMalone songs, and you have pretty OK album.

It has ups and downs, Goodbye snd Green Men are highlights for me...

It won't be on my best ever albums list but will listen to it now and then...

Huge Sabbath/Ozzy fan here and pretty much how I feel.It has its moments not a great album but who has a discography that can compete with Ozzy’s??? We’re all here on a Guns board but if you compare the two it’s almost laughable .At least he continues to try 

No real surprise announcement was made today that his no more tours has been canceled

Ticketmaster is playing games with the TX show. They hardly sold any tickets and now all of a sudden it looks like most of the tickets are gone. You can tell by tell pattern of the remaining seats that they just pulled a bunch of seats to make it look like it is selling better. 

They did the same with the L.A. show

Anybody criticizing the ticket sales right now is ridiculous. That’s all.

I don’t think people are being critical,they’re just being honest.Ticket sales have been awful thus far.And although it’s only been a day for general on sale if the past is any indication it is a good gauge as to how the tour will sell as a whole 

Saw Pumpkins a year ago and they sounded great , solid opener 

I went on Ticketmaster just out of curiosity and the op is absolutely correct ,sales are abysmal 

In my opinion the article has a lot of validity.I was just excited as anyone else that Slash and Duff we’re back in the fold.I always thought what if this band never broke up they came out with such great music in such a small time frame ....well here we are 4 years later and it’s the sos.Someone said most people dont care if they release new music ,I for one am not one of them .I think back to all my favorite bands growing up and how every single one of them still releases albums and tours behind them other then one .Maiden,Metallica ,Pearl Jam the list goes on and on and it makes going to shows that much funner .This tour is definitely a pass as I’d any future tours going forward until new music is involved which is most likely the 30th of Never .

If they couldn’t sell out an arena in a big city like Miami what makes them think a stadium tour will sell well?I just don’t understand the thought process here but we shall see .I was surprised that Motley Crue /Def Leppard tour was a stadium tour and it is apparently doing great in regards to sales .It just seems a bit overly ambitious.Here in LA they’ve done 2 nights at Dodger Stadium 3 between the Forum and Staples and the Palladium show as well.IDK I’ve had a great time at the 3 shows I’ve seen on this tour but I have no desire to see them again in a stadium setting 

Another run of stadium dates here in the States seems overly ambitious,I can’t see this selling all that well .Been wrong before but we’ll see how this shakes out .Seen them three times since Slash and Duff came back into the fold and recently at Palladium  so it’ll be a hard pass for me 

Is their a tougher ticket then these guys these days ?Tried to get tickets a couple years ago when they played Seattle for 2 stadium shows sold out immediately.Got a pair for both LA shows for this tour through verified fan went online out of curiosity This am and every single show is completely sold out for this coming tour.One of my all time fave bands and have seen them numerous times over the years they never disappoint 

Slash has a new interview on guitar.com where he states that nothing definite in regards what to do with new music that’s been recorded.

Rumors were true ,official announcement of tour just happened.Looks like tickets will end up only in fans hands and the secondary market will be shut out or at least that’s what the band is trying to do.i apologize I’m not very savvy with tech don’t know how to attach links but it’s out there 

Sounds like a spring U.S. tour announcement is coming next week .Been a long time since they’ve come to L.A. hoping rumors are true .2 dates in L.A. area in mid April 

Title song of new album is out ,collaboration with Elton John I dug it.Not great at attaching links but run a search and you can hear it for yourself 

Killer locomotive,first time in 27 years too wow now for some dead horse and hard school .Not an easy song to sing and Axl definitely pulled it off and the band sounded great 

Bummer to hear but it happens ,addiction is a horrible thing that everyone whose battled it can say ,you’re never in the clear just day to day no matter how many years out .Best of luck to him 

Difficult not to be skeptical and have low to no expectations of this being true if history over the last 25 years has taught us anything .Ill believe it when I hear it

I personally think he needs to shelve YCBM. It sounds dreadful. 

I used to think the same the other night at the palladium I was pleasantly surprised it was passable to good

Man I’m a way bigger GNR fan than Maiden, but to sit here and say Axl’s condition/voice/performance is good for his age is just being a blind follower.

This is a Maiden show I was at last weekend. Bruce has been doing it longer than Axl, is 61 and battled throat cancer a few years ago. 

 

Maiden is a killer live band for sure was at the la show previous Saturday they sounded great as usual just not a huge fan of stadium shows .But as far as last night idk I feel like I was at a different show then a lot of people to me he sounded ok my buddy’s thought the same and the crowd seemed pretty into it I saw Metallica a couple years ago at palladium as well and would put guns show as on par or better and sans the occasional mosh pit the crowd just as if not more engaged 

I don’t know to me Axl was not mailing it in he’s freaking 57 time is freaking undefeated I was at the show and in no way was that man not giving all he had he sure sounded pretty good to my ears and seemed to be having a blast up on stage .Who the hell knows maybe he’s got a few extra pounds because of side effects to medications to help treat some sort of mental illness .When I was down and out I got on meds and gained 25 lbs in a short period of time I was able to come off the meds and the weight came off maybe he can’t get off the meds just saying we don’t know him and to make assumptions that the man is lazy and doesn’t care and that’s why he’s gained weight is a bit unfair he was always in great shape until the last decade I guess I’m speculating but maybe it’s a side effect he didn’t look like a guy who doesn’t care last night 

Last night was a fun show in a more  intimate setting .I had a great time as did my buddy’s but like others have stated it’s basically the same show for the last 3 years .I got slither (which went over great with the crowd and sounded solid ) shadow of your love and witchita lineman which I didn’t hear during previous 2 shows .What made this show a good experience for me was it’s setting .Having a chance to see Guns in a stripped down show was the only real reason I wanted to go .Having seen them over 10 times over a 30 year period I wouldn’t have attempted to go if show was at the forum or staples .The band sounded great Axl had his moments great and so so but overall he was pretty good and seemed to be in great spirits and more talkative then in recent past .The crowd seemed to eat it up and was lively though there was a lull during the later of half of set when things slow down considerably and a few parole made their way to exists but not many and most (probably 90%) stayed and were very involved .Idk or I doubt I’ll try and see them again not because it wasn’t a good show because eventually it reaches a saturation point .Just hoping for new music at some point

Fun show band sounds good axl’s fine not perfect but overall sounds good to my ears crowds pretty fired up in here too
