Did anyone see the brief snippet of video that Beta posted yesterday of them walking around inside a gas station? Axl walks up to her asking if they can make a steak sandwich in the tour bus? I wonder if he knows she records that stuff and posts it? 

He shares a bus… with Beta….  have any of you guys ever been on a tour bus? I’m not trying to be a smart ass it’s a serious question! If you’ve been on a tour bus, you’d be laughing and shaking your head as well..

Franks job is the 2nd most physical. I’d throw him in there 
 

get well whoever it is! 
 

Getting a flight plus hotel for a show to be cancelled sucks. 

I’m sorry!! Sucks to be out of money like that… but I just don’t see a gnr show cancelled for Frank. Not in this (or any) lifetime.

Its really because of low ticket sales. Every show has been empty.

I’d be inclined to believe this having seen the current sales maps…. But sadly I think it’s his voice. Hopefully he can recover properly to finish the tour.

That last sentence...what a load of crap, it's illness , it happens ! It's not happening every leg of the tour is it 

2 cancelled shows now since 2016 I think, Glasgow the other 

I wasn’t referring to cancellations, I was referring to the time frames in terms of Axls voice. But ok, lol

I’m absolutely amazed that this cancellation/postponement hasn’t been announced (yet) and that fans are finding out by being internet detectives. Hopefully it’s just this one show though since they are soooooo spread out this time around.

Poor Axl man…. this is really too much strain on his voice. These tours need to be capped to ~20 shows and 6-8wk off cycles in between ~20 show runs, at minimum.

I think they are waiting for 2027 to drop the rerecorded AFD featuring Tommy Stinson, Robin Finck, and Josh Freese, among others. 

….yea I can’t quite tell if you’re kidding about this but I think that’s a hysterical thought..

I don't see any recent posts on Fernando's Instagram.

I was about to say - looks like he hasn’t posted in years!

Get onboard with the Dead man, fucking amazing band. 

GD and GNR (and JGB too actually) are all listed back to back in my iTunes! Stevie has had stealies on his drum kit before, and Axl has talked about being a metal head hippie kid in Indiana - I love me some 77 and 89 shows.

I'd check it out.  SPAC has been offered on that site for ages.  If you've never ever of the webcite, don't fret.  It's legit.  It's used mostly by jam bands but anyone can use it.  It severs to allow fans to hopefully sell to other fans at the same price (or less) than what was paid.

Omg COT made it to mygnr!! The Heads and Phans in my life will never believe me🤣

COT is legit y’all - those who know, know.

Maybe they'll go the Metallica route next, 2 gigs 2-3 days apart followed by 1-2 weeks rest 

4 hours ago, Tom2112 said:

Hopefully not, that's excessively relaxed. Minimum 3 gigs a week. Especially keeping to the 2 weeks on/off schedule 

So both of these ideas are SUPER expensive to execute tour budget wise. It’s basically fly-in dates for everyone involved.. flights from diff points, hotels, transport…

Metallica is pulling it off because the designed a 360 experience and have sold every ticket of that 360…

2wks on/2wks off means your still paying crew ongoing.. even if off weeks are half pay..

Weekend Warrior tours do very well when spaced out properly, but again, it’s all fly in dates. I think Axls voice has sounded best with 2 shows a week on 4 days rest.

3 Pages:American fans are not hyped?

Nope.

Just checked the charts - I don’t see it. Susan posted a screen grab that the song was #1 with iTunes or something but I can’t find it on any chart this week (though it should be as it did great in terms of YouTube clicks)

I’ve listened to it a few more times. I dig the piano and the chorus is standard ok. I like that other people like it, but I just can’t get past all the layers of stuff. Sooooo much going on..

All chart listings:

*image grab in Susan’s stories say #1 Worldwide ITunes chart (over dua lipa) - this is from last week and she just cut the date off..  omg 😆 

G-d…. I remember all the rumors and Jimmy kept HINTING it all night and I was watching in a college dorm with friends..  damn when they were announced and the camera panned to Axl.. And then Buckethead.. and..

it was just SILENCE in the room.. like 10 of us were just shocked into silence for 30 seconds until someone else z claimed “what in the fuck is this shit” and others started laughing.

I was horrified. I don’t think I even listened to GNR until like 4 years later when I went to one of the Hammerstein shows in nyc..

I never need to see any of that footage again.. 

Lol Izzy is secure in himself and doesn’t give a FUCK about any of it.

Izzy’s contributions to gnr have allowed him to live the life that HE wants without having to justify it to anyone.

Stands don't look empty from the angle of this live stream:

https://www.facebook.com/pamela.rubio.351/videos/1007201897299487

I guess the field is supposed to be empty? If so, is that a common setting for this type of venue in the US? I surely know I wouldn't like to watch a show like that - especially from the stands with such a big empty space between my spot and the stage, but also in general.

It’s really interesting because in that video you posted… I can see the empty sections but my eye is trained for that so I’m very hyper vigilant. Look I’m not saying it’s “empty” per se, just saying that a baseball stadium for concerts gets about 38/40K caps with how the stage is set. it looks to me, based on the pics and video from the stage, that the uppers barely had anyone which made me speculate that capacity was about 20/25K.
 

The place where the pitcher stands (mound) never gets used so the entire infield and outfield (area between the mound and the back wall) doesn’t have seats or a floor (it damages the grass for baseball and it’s still season here!  Go Cubs Go!) 

just my thoughts and observations and opinions based on my trade. Not trying to insult or argue with anyone!

What a quiet show thread, especially for a large city. How was attendance?

Just looked at the pics posted by Del and Mrs Slash from the stage - floor looked full from the pit but the stands were.. empty. ESP up top. I’d say 60/65% (70 maybe as a stretch) sold but I can’t tell from just pics. At those percentages for a ball park it’s prob about 25/30K.

Me and my friend had listened to song a lot on various platforms and we came to conclusion that the sound from the official video is much better than any audio like Spotify as an example.  The mix is far clearer. Slash is really more audible and in front. Same as for some lyrics during the song. Does anybody hear that?  I think that the song has been delayed because the video was not ready last week (some shots in it seems really recents) but ended that the others platforms dont have "the final mix"  excuse my poor english; it's not my first langage. I love the new song!

It’s very interesting because I kinda feel the same way. Much better sound wise in the video than anywhere else - im still meh on the song itself, but I dig the video and launch. I really wish they did this before the tour started in June..

I think they closed the upper sections on Tues/Weds and are moving people down with free upgrades.

That plus every other row seating on the floor! A few more nfl stadiums are light but the arenas and smaller rooms did great!. Honestly!

Ok this video is pretty cool actually. Gotta give credit where credit is due. Good job GNR and management.

 

I like that whoever did the editing actually took time to try to get parts to match musically and visually. Also, there's a part during the last chorus where Duff is singing the correct words, so I assume that was filmed at a soundcheck.

I really like the video - I looooooove footage like that! Also, I feel it’s been observed in their socials (and discussed!) that there’s a pro crew filming! 
 

I’m sure it will be wild commentary by the time I wake up! Super exciting day in gnr world, for sure!

I'm sure this isn't the first time we've seen them, but Axl really has custom bottles of Don Julio... wonder if he just gets crates of the stuff before each tour kicks off?

 

Lololol when you click that link and go to the article…. There are all sorts of pretty young girls with Axl… and smack in the middle of them all?? Andre Gilliot 🤣
