ACDC8

and just a peek for all of you 

and yes, lot of unsold tickets as folks in Vancouver are spending too much on housing and grocery and the rest goes to pot (Snoop sell out in days, although it was in an arena but still) or LGBTQXYZTPQRST1234+ rights/supporters (Beyonce was beyond packed at the same stadium with way more expensive tickets). Jeez... (sorry but not a pot head neither a Beyonce fan). 

The boys are back in town

You can see a couple videos on instagram if looking for "Moncton stadium" as a location, but very few posts. They had a lot of tickets to sell, and and tickets were going for more than half of the price. Not a GnR fault, it is just a very strange area for a band as big as GnR to play with very expensive tickets most of the Canadians on that side of the country cannot afford, sadly.

No one is there. No streams. Impossible to really say anything.

This guy was streaming for a while (as @kingcanyon posted earlier)

How weird? Just 3 pages to first show.

I know... still can't get why they are playing there (again, very happy for the folks on that side of Canada) but the majority of the folks there have a very (VEEEERY) slow pace living there and might not enjoy posting/streaming much 

It is the very first time indeed that they are playing in Moncton, and to be honest, it is quite unbelievable that they are getting something as big as GnR to play there frankly (Maritimes folks, I'm happy for you, but that is true as Moncton has a population of about 85 thousand people only, they don't have any 4 or 5 stars hotel, and absolutely anything nice to see or do, unless you were born and raised there and still, most people would say how boring that region it is) so not sure if Axl was/is staying out of town and getting a private jet to get there. I believe only Del and Jordan made a few posts from there, so I'm positive the rest of the crew are like wow, this place is quite remote lol (hence their "rural" Litho btw)

I was just waiting for you ladies to post it lol

No one is believing her - no photos, no videos, and she is married and making her husband to look like a fool. Attention seeker to say at least, feel bad for the guys (both her husband, her SON, and Mr. Rose)

That sounds realistic. Singing Rocket Queen like this https://youtube.com/watch?v=IxiCwqZtDeE must have done some damage :/

I know you guys are discussing vocals (and indeed, beyond fantastic here), but impossible to not pay attention to Pitman's performance LMAO. "Incredible times" 

Thank God Slash exists and it is back to this band. Love Axl more than anything but apart from in DTJ and kind of not paying attention to the drums, is really PAINFUL to hear. Everything sucks (apart from Slash's) and those saying that it sounds great are DELUSIONAL 

It looks like it is about to start

What are you guys seeing on the stream? I know it hasn't started yet but Im only seeing two people talking trash? I can't find another stream...

https://live.rockinrio.com

Just got their email. Would love to get that book, but $999 USD is a bit too much. Was getting the other one but they don't ship to anywhere outside the US apparently... "thanks" Gibson.

I know the vast majority will hate my comments, but I don't give a crap - I've been a loyal fan of this band for the past 30+ years, I won't change because of the majority... 

1. "OMG... they released a new song... which is not technically new, but still.." - ok, cool, good for them, good for you, but to me, it will never be a new song because it is NOT a new song - never released it is very different than a "new" song. It will not turn my day from great to fantastic because of it. Sorry, I have VERY high standards, and a "never released song" is not a new album. Not a big deal, AT ALL, to me. 

2. Spelling school as SKOOL is SO F@ EMBARRASSING. I remember some time ago reading someone's comment on being an "Avril Lavigne" thing, and that person read my mind... lol It seems like a "School of Rock": movie thing (btw, I love that movie...) But no, not for a Guns n Roses title. The whole "fn" and "fam" and now "skool" now is just... I even don't have words... Fn was very cool back in the 90s... but its excess now is ridiculous, sorry. The "fam" is even more, and "skool" is beyond and above more. 

3. Get angry at me... (I don't give a f@) - I DIDNT LIKE THE SONG. Well, actually, I did like something: Slash's and Duff's parts. Chorus is great (Axl's voice... I LOVE that voice). I ended up never listening to this song before, but bc everyone was always so freaking crazy asking for it, I thought it was THE song. Shadow of your Love, over the new releases (not new, just never officially released), was 1 billion times better. The WHOLE song is great. Hard School (I refuse to type the other way, I'm not 12 years old) has excellent pieces, but as a whole is not a great song, in my opinion. 

Happy for you guys that are so happy about it. Happy for them (GnR) as they can make even more money from it... 

Will my opinion change the world? LOL, NO... Will this make me adore them less? NO... I just think there was too much anticipation for something that is not "THAT" good. Moving on.

I don't really think pyro is that important to the overall GNR live experience. It's nice to have but it's expensive and they have a cool enough stage and video screens. They're not KISS.

"You wanted the best, well... they didn't fucking make it... So here's what you get... From Hollywood, Guns n Roses" 

too lazy to look for another one... 

I'm out ppl, good night, I'll check it later (maybe) - or tomorrow

Velvet Revolver - Sao Paulo/Brazil - 2007

Slash (with Myles and Co) - HRC Orlando/US - 2012

I'm in - I'm like VIP treatment lol. Seriously (although I do like VIP treatment): been here since 2006, found out about the Hammerstein shows through here (eternally grateful) and even though I don't say much, you guys (not all of course) are like "fam" (and of course I'm rolling my eyes with the highest level of cringiness inspired by ultra-cringe GnR social media posts). Best forum EVER, true fans and not just a bunch of sycophants

I thought they were Canadians... LMAO. I think I get away from this computer today and pay more attention to how the money in my country looks like LOL (nah... I prefer to stick with the computer, #coronaviruspanic)  Regardless, that setlist was printed on January 31st, so yeah.

I just simply need to know...

Was Axl less bloated and cracking jokes?

changed my mind

PPL please stop saying that HS was on the setlist: that is a photo that someone posted on facebook, God knows who posted it (anyone can create a "setlist" and print it out and post it online), and even if legit, it is from JANUARY 31st. We all want new songs, but last night Axl did a great job (besides the coronavirus joke and the dirty mention to whoever he was referring to - that is not a nice way to refer to anyone that works for you - unless if those are from TB, that it would be ok LOL )

Just now, ACDC8 said:

Apparently this was printed on JANUARY 31.. and we don't know who printed it - if it is legit.
