Just like the first one, eh? 

Haha it totally escaped my mind that Izzy was out by then.

Second times a charm?

More so than NITL, a skin n bones tour would REQUIRE Izzy. 

Anyone have Shotgun Blues stuck in their head now too? 

I also like the hated songs, Shotgun, GITR, BOB, rhiad, scraped. They’re obviously not as great as some, but they each have a redeeming quality to them, IMO  

Not my world. 

I love both. But II does have My World...

I couldn’t disagree more with the past their prime part, besides Axl I guess. 

Dammit, I’m late!!

Probably nothing. Silence. 

I’m so happy I went to a second show. I thought the arena show was much better than the stadium show. 

I dunno, I was 10 years old when my favorite band “broke up” and I NEVER thought I’d see Slash and Axl share a stage “in my lifetime”. So how could I complain about a dream come true!?!?

I’ll be there man!  Free show!  How can you complain about that?  I’ll be the long hair in the front row hollering “Silkworms”!!  

I'll be the drunk guy yelling "FREEEEEBBBIIIIRRRRDDD!!!"

But seriously, yeah I'll probably be there.

Never mind the casual fans... There were tons of GUNS N' ROSES fans that bailed during the whole CD era.. A good chunk of those fans are back and buying tickets.. I would argue that more casual fans even know songs like PTU, Bad Obsession and Locomotive more than CD stuff. I know I have a lot of friends that know a good amount of the illusions who aren't die hards and none of them know CD... One of my buddy's song he was most looking forward to seeing was Estranged and he is more of a casual fan for sure. There is also a big difference between not knowing and not liking.. There seem to be more people that don't like CD than deep Illusions cuts.. That includes a lot of die hards...

I hate to break it to you but this tour isn't neccessarily for US. It's for the casual fan. At least that's how I feel about the tour. 

I love breakdown, PTU, locomotive etc, BUT casual fans would be just as confused hearing those tracks as they would hearing catcher, prostitute. Right?

Haha awesome 

I don't think they will release any new music because Guns N' Roses. 

Yeah time to put a bow on it and do some real interviews!!

Rewind to 10, 15 years ago. What would your past self think about you complaining about slash, duff and Axl reunion show set being too long? 

For 20ish years I thought I'd never see the day. I wish they played longer sets honestly. 

I could watch slash solo for 3.5 hours

I don't know about you guys, but I'm not really trying to get milked on releases of material I already heard. Unless it's a live reunion release I guess. 

I'd want the opinion of another bass player

also want to inject a little love for Geezer in this thread 

I disagree with all of that. Nonsense.

Youd be surprised how good and fresh a remaster can make an old album sound. When The Doors remastered their albums there were things that were so compressed and buried due to the technological limitations that were clear as day. Their albums sounded brand new all over again. Same with the Stones and Led Zep remastered.

Nah I get it, I typically enjoy remasters. But wasn't that the whole point of AFD tho? Basic. Raw. 

Uh, yeah!!!!

Seeing a couple stops of this tour has only made it worse for me. I'd also accept just about anything. CDII, an EP, anything!

I'm against a remaster of AFD. If it ain't broke, don't don't fix it!!!

Only other versions of the old material I would really be interested in is that "raw" version of UYI that Slash talked about in his book. 

Plus there were no smartphones, camera phones etc. All my music news in the early 90s was from Kurt loader and Serena autchell or whatever in those 5 minute MTV news updates with the peace sells bass line intro. 

Let's let's not forget the total disrespect to the paying concert goers who waited hours for him to hit the stage. If he did at all. 

That'll make a fabnase turn on ya

Love it.
