Has anyone confirmed is this is the real deal or if it's fake?

I'm very interested in hearing an alternate take!

this is the real deal

I can't believe someone posting on a forum just openly admitted to rooting against Axl and hoping Guns N' Roses would fail. Doesn't seem like a fan at all.

If you can't understand such a basic concept, I'm really not sure there is any hope for you.

ACDC is still ACDC without Bon or Brian

Marilyn Manson is still Marilyn Manson without John 5 or The Spooky Kids

Local H is still Local H without Joe Daniels

Black Sabbath was still Black Sabbath without Ozzy

and Guns N' Roses was still Guns N' Roses without Slash, Duff, Izzy, and Matt.

Still not REALLY an U2 album. Get it now?

Well if Bono, the legal owner of the U2 name, decided that it would still be a U2 album, it absolutely would really be a U2 album. I'm not sure why you struggle to comprehend such a basic idea. I think attempting to call others retarded is a coping mechanism for you since your obvious lack of intelligence makes you feel inferior.

To put it briefly, that's exactly what happend in the mid 90's. At first Axl let Slash and Duff sign a contract which said the name GNR is his if the band split up or a member of the band dies.

Then he quitted the band and offered Slash and Duff to be part of his new band as employees. Slash never agreed and leaved after a while.

The old membership was still existing, that's why Axl and Slash (and Duff to some dagree) had both to agree about everything classic-era-stuff-related like using it for movies and shit like that.

 

You are totally wrong, and Slash's book is not to be taken as a trusted source of information.

Let's say Bono decides to release a solo album next year with 8 different musicians in place of Edge, Larry and Adam but he feels somehow he's the face and voice of U2 he just can't let it go and decides to call his new album an U2 album. It would have U2 name on it but it would not REALLY be an U2 album right? Or do you disagree with me? Apply the same logic to his solo album, Chinese Democracy. If you're not retarded I guess you understood the point.

Let's say The Edge, Larry and Adam all quit the band but Bono, the legal owner of the name U2, was still working on the new album. Should he abandon the project and the name of the band that he founded, named, fronted and wrote most of the songs for, or should he work on replacing musicians who walked out so the fans can continue to enjoy Bono's life work. If you're not retarded I guess you understand...

They aren't going to overhaul it while this tour is running so it needs to finish. Can't realistically expect a new setlist until the tour has concluded

Right, but you said "please no more shows", and then said "we want a new setlist". I don't understand how you can ask for both. Those seem like a "one or the other" deal.

Please no more shows. We want interviews and new music, and a new setlist

How do you want a new setlist while simultaneously stating you want no more shows?

Who is Axel?

Just an FYI to those coming to St. Louis.  I live near there and am somewhat familiar with the city.  There are several bars within walking distance on Washington Street - most of them are west of the Dome, but there is a small Irish pub place about a block or so south east.  There is also a nice casino (Lumiere) almost right across the street from the Dome to the East. Attached to the casino is the 4 Seasons Hotel, and I would not be surprised if the band is staying there.

My guess is that there will be a lot of GN'R fans walking up and down Washington Street on Thursday late afternoon and it won't be hard to find pre-show fans to mingle with.

There is a pre show get together on Wednesday, July 26 at Hair of the Dog on Washington Ave, it starts at 7pm

Ok I've tried to bestow any criticism at this show but how fucking stupid is it to play "Rosie" in the place where OTGM gets played at this particular show.  It just goes to show you the douchebaggery that this band portrays when making what should be simple decisions.

Just.....stupid.  Didn't anyone say,  hey let's drop that cover tonight fellas and play one of our tunes from this maybe greatest record of all time that happens to turn 30 tomorrow.  

Whole Lotta Rosie is a b side from the Appetite era.

Wow, she is a real brain trust. The step parents can celebrate, what they can't do is impersonate the bio parents and lock them out of the party and pretend they don't exist or worse, say the bio parents actually didn't even want to be there while they have them chained in the basement . 

Nobody is impersonating anyone. The only person that stopped Izzy from being in GN'R was Izzy in 1991. Nobody pretends they don't exist.

I meant using their likeness to promote a show there not playing in. I didn't realize they have registered trademark for that.

The likeness was used on the cover of Appetite For Destruction. The display has no mention of a show, just #APPETITE30. We have no idea if this is for the show (since there is a show poster )

or if it's for something else. Steven and Izzy definitely could not sue for that. Or for being hashtagged on Beta's Instagram.

You know the poster itself is using Steven and izzys likeness to promote a show. So unless they are there, it's false advertisement. That lawsuit material right there. And remember Steven has sued gnr before.

The advertisement is promoting the 30th anniversary of Appetite, by using the Appetite cross. Arguably the most iconic symbol by this band, and also a registered trademark for Guns N' Roses. Sue for false advertisement, WTF?
