Binge_And_Slash

I can only seem to find lithos on eBay and not shirts!! I really want the Cincinnati, Washington and Chicago Night 1 designs on a shirt!!!  (I'd only get the lithos of the shows I was at.... still need to get the vegas ones haha)

I've obtained the shirts from both Vegas shows (I was at them) and had people pick me up one from Chicago Night 2 and Philly.

My favourite is Cincinnati, I'd love to be able to track down that shirt, unfortunately not seeing any of the shirts on e-Bay, only posters.

It's virtually impossible to find any GnR merch that doesn't have skulls or skeletons, anywhere, from any era of the band. I really like a lot of these show specific designs, but the skeleton theme does get a bit annoying.

I wish they used the AFD monster more. 

Chicago Night 1 and Detroit?

Edit: And Washington!!

Been looking on eBay but only seem to find the posters. If anyone bought one of these and wants to part with it please PM me.

Suprised (but not complaining) that it's exactly the same set.  Thought they woulda swapped DC for Patience at least, like Vegas. I know we've all seen that alternative set but Used To Love Her doesn't really interest me as a song I'd want to hear. Nice Boys I've seen before so again, not really much of a demand from me. Slither could be interesting however I'm thinking it'd be Duff singing it. Perfect Crime needs to come back though, I'd fucking love to see that.

Always a shock when forum members pass away. A certain lass(Red) that passed away about a decade ago still creeps into my mind whenever I hear the word "leukemia". I still get choked up when I think of her from time to time.

RIP to all of our fallen gunners.

That's who I was trying to think of in my earlier post!

And this is 2 months earlier in Las Vegas...  me, @troccoli, @Black Sabbath, Gillian, @Dazey @Tyler Drama  And some guy on the end I didn't even speak to so don't know if he's a member here or not

Me, Gillian (Sleeping_Like_An_Angel?) and her boyfriend outside the Olympic park after AC/DC.

We actually just bumped into each other and didn't plan to meet (I didn't even know they were going to the show!). 

@UK SUBS said it best, several years ago. The wait for CD was the undoing, I believe Subs said "Axl could have 12 tracks that were Jungle, Paradise City and SCOM and people would still say its shit and not worth the wait". 

To a degree I understand, one of my biggest infurations is it seemed in 2010 - 2014 they got the marketing live shows right (Up Close and Personal and Vegas Residencys) but it was too little too late, that should have happened in the 2001-2002 era, heck maybe even the 2006 era at a stretch. For what reason, we don't know, it just didn't happen (most likely not having decent management at that time... whatever happened to Mercky Merck anyway?)

I really liked Buckethead & Finck, but Axl's voice was out live. 2006 - 2010 Axl's voice was great, but as time went on it became clearer (especially in Vegas residency 2014) that nothing was ever going to happen now, and I guess I can see the point, Axl's replacement GNR were gone, and it was replacements of replacements. He probably got on with them all, great, but that isn't who HE wanted. (Aside from Fortus after Tobias left)

But the fact that Slash & Duff are at least willing to play Chinese stuff on the reunion tour gives me a little bit of hope that the leftover Chinese stuff isn't all dead and buried, it will probably have Slash and Duff re-recording parts, which means we'll lose some (guaranteed) great Buckethead solos and some (according to Axl) great Robin Finck solos.  I don't think Bumble will feature on any of that. Ashba... maybe.  Fortus yes..

2 LA shows? Yeah I'm gonna say it's pretty certain I'm flying out for those, then heading to Brooklyn at the weekend for NXT and Summerslam. Just unsure whether to stay in Brooklyn on Monday for Raw or fly out to San Diego n catch the last night of the tour.

I'm probably gonna get flamed for this or accused of being too young to "know what GNR was" but I'm not fussed either way if Steven plays any shows with them or not. If he is - great. If he's not - no biggy. It was like when I saw Izzy with Axl's GNR (on about 5/6 occasions) I wasn't standing there going HOLY SHIT. I was just like... Cool. But it wasn't make or break on whether the show was any good.

Yeah really great for you Americans they should add for you another 30 shows so they can't miss any city in fucking country, and they can't do at least 2 Wembley shows. Fuck my life it's so hard to live in Europe...

Chill man. I'm from the UK, they (including Axl's GNR) haven't been here since May 2012. Either save your money and sell shit you don't need, travel the world n go, or just wait patiently.

07/03 in Chicago, 07/20 in Boston, 07/24 in NJ and 08/18 in LA are listed on Ticketmaster now.

Wicked thanks. Is that a second night in Chicago added? I thought I saw that in the first round of dates. 

So gutted that San Diego is on a Monday was thinking of going to LA for GNR then fly to Brooklyn for NXT, Summerslam and Raw then fly out to San Diego for GNR, as it's the last night of the tour, before heading back to the UK. Fingers crossed SD sells out and they get a second night, but I'm not holding my breath. 

I can't see any new dates listed? Where and when?

Man, being a member of the paparazzi is such an asshole job. 

I really thought TWAT was gonna suck, imo Hammerstein 06 was the only decent time they've done it (and even that wasn't great - but made better because they did it at some Lisbon show in 06 it was DREADFUL) I thought the sound check from Vegas sounded shit too. But I gotta say last nights sounds decent my only complaint is Melissa playing the piano riff of the beginning over the first verse sounds too loud in the mix and out of time. Yesterdays was a nice treat too. I really was expecting this Reunion to be Cashgrab Appetite and the UYI hits and they've exceeded by expectations. The only cherry on top missing for me is Locomotive/Bad Apples and Dead Horse.

I might be interested Binge. Having trouble sending u a pm tho

You still game? I'm staying at Luxor. I'll try and clear my PM inbox - if not Facebook me (Jamie Liam Sanders)

I've got a spare Saturday GA ticket for sale for $400. (I bought the MLife deal at The Excalibur solely for these tickets - I'm not using the hotel room) so am just charging 50% of the overall cost. I'm still going so will collect at will call tomorrow.

It's so strange when something like this happens. Usually, you don't know the person, they're never anything more than words and images on a screen, but it's somewhat harrowing when you look at their Facebook and just know they're not there anymore. I remember years back there was a member, I can't think of her name right now, but her user was in ALL CAPS and had numbers on the end, and she passed in around 2006-2007 and people were sad she'd never hear Chinese. and I used to see her posts all the time and it was just so weird to know I wouldn't see that anymore, even though I'd never spoken to her directly. It's a similar situation now, I used to see Homan post all the time, and it's so upsetting that literally weeks before the reunion he misses it

Take care up there bud.

Pancakes at 4AM.  

That was the miracle of Luckys 24/7 at the Hard Rock. Between A4D, No Trickery and Kiss Rocks Vegas I think half the staff have seen me in there fucked off my face ordering Huevos Racheros.

I know a lot of people will probably just say "Nah they should just fuckin play" but I kinda hope Axl does a rant/story like he used to just explaining how it happened. You can't have a 23 year feud with someone, call them cancer, say the reunion will never happen then suddenly all is right with the world just because they signed over the royalties and allowed each other to put the other's songs on their respective DVDs. I mean yeah we can all speculate "it's Duff that did it". But why now? Duff became friends with Axl again 6 years ago. What took so long then? Why did Axl always shut the door in Slash's face when he made amends before? I just would like to hear the story, even a summarised 3-5 minute version.

Ah man don't .

At No Trickery I flew home on a Sunday, and I promised myself that I wouldn't get drunk at the Saturday show (I did for Wednesday and Friday's) . That went out the window as soon as I saw @Black Sabbath and I had to endure a 11 hour plane ride from hell with the worst hangover of my life on the Sunday.

I leave Vegas on Sunday this time around too...

So I leave for Dallas in a little over 24 hours. I'm really hoping WWE pull it out the bag. I think the road to mania is a little better than last years - and what a turn around that was!

• I can't see HHH/Reigns going on last. For me, it has to be Shane/Taker. Was Taker saying on Raw "This WrestleMania wont be my last" in a "fuck you Vince you don't own me" way, or him saying "yeah I'm gonna beat Shane no doubt about it" ?
• Where the FUCK are the Wyatts?!
• AJ/Styles 4?! ...Fuck sake. I love both guys, and am glad I finally get to see Jericho at a Mania. But the Raw/SD and Fast Lanes were not needed, THIS should've been the main build up and their first fight should've been at Mania.
• Zack Ryder in the Ladder match? What?! Vince... Vince... you have all this NXT talent and you chose him!? Tyler would've easily redeemed himself in this spot. Sandow could have had the rebirth. Honestly WTF.
• Andre The Giant Battle Royale III.... I'm not sure why they're still persisting with this gimmick match other than just to use talent so they've got a match. The whole thing gets forgotten in a fortnight.
• I'm hoping Sami don't do too much flippy shit at TakeOver and injure/restrict himself for Mania.
• There's going to be a shock return/interference in either HHH/Reigns or Taker/Shane. I just can't work out who. Sting would be good seeing as he is dodging retiring questions. Seth? Cena? Both also good... Just hopefully not Bore-ton.

One things for sure, if Mania sucks, the Raw the next night shall be pretty damn interesting!

(I'm also at Dallas TakeOver too!)
