The fact that they are still selling nose bleed seats is a good sign IMO.  Also, I'm looking forward to seeing a bunch of GN'R fans taking over Washington Street in St. Louis on Thursday!

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.

Axl sounding great on Nighttrain.

I'll see a couple of those guys in St Louis next Thursday.  I cant wait for that one.  

Speaking of St. Louis, I will be there as well.  Is there a convenient bar that other attendees are planning to pre-party at?

Axl's voice is shining a little on Civil War.  His best vocals of the night so far. 

While I think Civil War is solid, I have to disagree here.  ISO, DTTJ, WTTJ, Estranged were all unbelievable!

My view.

wow! what a lucky dude

Anyone know how the acoustics are for concerts in this dome?

Less than a month before this show now!  Depending on what happens at the Apollo show (AFD 5???), this show may get real interesting.

Awesome. Thought i would check in to see how the show went. Read through several pages of people bitching about the setlist. Mygnr forum at its finest. Personally love the setlist and hope its similar in St. Louis.

Agreed, and preferably the acoustic 'Lies' version

Nah. I'm pumped for this. I didn't think I'd see a SECOND show this year (I have St. Louis already lined up). Great news for me. I don't get Live though. It woulda been cool.

I, too, have St. Louis lined up, and honestly think I would rather have Live than Deftones.  Just never been into them at all, and kinda seems like a bizarre pairing.  If they were going to go with a odd pairing, I kinda wish they would have tried to get something more local to St. Louis, like Wilco.  Oh well, its not like the opener matters all that much anyway.

So....clearly the build up was too much for what the announcement actually was.  I can't help but wonder if they truly will let the 30th anniversary pass without something during that week prior to St. Louis.  I expected to at least see something scheduled for that time.  I'm also surprised that there wasn't a Bluray or live album announced.  Sorry if this has been discussed - just now logging on.

was hoping for something a bit better than Deftones for St. Loius.  Today in general has been disappointing to me on the GN'R front after the build up to today's announcement.

alright ive known for a couple a days what the announcement has been thats why my screen name is what it is i hate to see u guys all suffer throught this waiting most of you will be disapointed  but one thing we can count on is the seeker wont be leaving the set list 

Guns n Roses is going on a double headlining tour with The Who 

Ill humor you and ask if it applies to currently scheduled US shows? No openers announced yet.

This. It only makes sense with the LA Radio teasing everyone, so it's most likely going to be a night or two shows in Hollywood or LA.

That may be part of it, but the recent timeline graphic posted on Twitter makes it seem that there could be more to it than that.  My guess would be remastered AFD, 2016 NITL Live DVD and/or Live Album, and a special AFD show in LA prior to St. Louis (with guest appearances by Izzy and Adler).

Any recent rumors about NA openers?  I would think these would be solidified in the near future.

Maybe they'll do something special for the stl show. Great for me since I'll be there!
