Not understanding the hate on Trunk here.  He is a good dude who is holding the flag for our genre of music. Meanwhile the other host (Keith) hasn't seen the band we love since '88!?  

Most here are GnR snobs.. haha

I'm guessing people are buying a bunch of these at once and trying to capitalize on ebay. Lame stuff there as they are trying to profit off of fans and the band. They're colluding in trying to drive the price up on these. Wait a few months and you'll see these popping up at more reasonable prices once the hype wears off.  

This isn't much different as to what the actual band and it's representatives did with tickets. They sold tickets for hundreds of dollars the the diehards. Then added shows and when they realized they couldn't sell all the tickets at the high price points, lowered the prices. So the real fans got screwed. So it's something we need to accept as the norm. 

I'm looking for a Detroit shirt in large. Can't find one on eBay. Anybody know where I can get one?

50 grams of weed... Holy shit!

Other than that just seems like idiots being idiots.. And even then 

It doesn't mean he had 50 grams. It's 50 grams or less. He could of had 1 gram.

I don't see what you're getting at here?

Do you mean all the headlines about the arrests? 

I went on Google expecting to see a load of bad reviews for the NJ shows.

Yea.. Most of the headlines are about the arrests and not about how the shows are. But all of the reviews are amazing.. 

Both concerts were AWESOME... The unfortunate thing is if you type Guns N' Roses in Google look at most of the headlines. I hate the media.

Each show gets a different litho usually with a city specific theme and usually numbered. Last night's was the first set not numbered which is a little unnerving. No one else questions this a little bit? Even if it was an added show how hard is it to hand number 400 lithos?

Foxboro's weren't numbered... and I think one more city wasn't either. 

On Sunday they also had a bunch left over from Saturday night's show... To be honest, in person I like Saturday's better than Sunday's Devil. The textures and coloring is really cool.

Really?  There was definitely more than 100 people there, it's a pretty massive space.  I was there maybe around 7:30ish?  Great view of the stage and thought for a moment about staying to watch the show from there because it was so cool and comfy,  but decided not to.  Worth a look at least if you have a Chase card.  

Inside the actual massive Chase lounge area, where you generally would have needed a ticket to enter, there was another small roped off area for Chase cardholders only. I didn't have a ticket in that section but showed my Chase card and they gave me a wristband. Then, in this small little area towards the back, they had free food, desserts, bottled water and soft drinks for card members. It was a nice little perk.

It was by the Verizon entrance.  

 

BTW, for anyone interested, Chase has a nice members only lounge set up on the 2nd level.  All you need to do is show your Chase credit or debit card to get in.  Better food and cocktails, ac, clean bathrooms, and a larger merch stand with no crowds.  

 

 

Would you happen to know what section it's by?

Do we know if last night's litho was still available after the show? I'm wondering how interested people were seeing as how the design was lackluster.

I saw someone buying one right at the end of Paradise City. 

If you were from the area you'd know why. It's really cool and much better than yesterday's in my opinion. Even though pictures from yesterday's doesn't do it justice. It is actually better in person  because of how it's textured.

I don't get it. The neon Statue of Liberty logo from ester day would've made an awesome litho 

I saw that and thought that too, but with the concert actully taking place in New Jersey, And with the posters and shirts saying East Rutherford, it makes more sense to have the Jersey Devil. And it's more badass then that and lens itself better to GNR than the Statue of Liberty. 

Anybody have any pointers on where to best buy merchandise INSIDE the stadium. I got there so early yesterday that I was able to purchase the lithographs outside the stadium then bring them back to the car. But won't be getting there until later tonight and I'm sure the lithographs will be hard to come by when 7:30-8 rolls around. 

Anybody going tonight that didn't go yesterday who wants to swap tonight's litho with one from yesterday's show? I have an extra from yesterday and I'm going tonight but might not be able to make it there in time to buy a lithograph. So if you buy two, we can "trade"

It's only going to be able 100 degrees over the weekend. Sweet.

i'm parking at my friends house and walking 45 min.  sounds like my best idea yet.

How about getting an UBER from there to the concert and walk the way back. Would only cost a few bucks

Best Rocket Queen of the reunion so far. 

Anybody have any pics of bootleg shirts that have been for sale outside of any of the venues? And what time does the merch trucks usually open?

Anybody going to be tailgating for this? My friend and are looking for a group to "crash" with. And by crash, I mean contribute by bringing food/alcohol. OR, if anyone would want to join us that works too. 

Anybody know when and where outside the stadiums the merchandise truck is usually located?

Where is the Merch truck usually located?
