There is no proof slash and duff worked on the Song. Remember, the version we know is 20 years old.

Half a million!?!?   That MUCH?

I am bummed.

Honestly guys, I hate to bring you the truth, but back in the day, billboard was bringing out facts about sales - down to the ticket.

outside US and London, they hardly exceeded over 2,500 tix on a solo gig basis. They played 10k Arenas that were 1/5 full

Do some research, those links were posted here back in the day

 

Whatever you brought, it‘s not the truth...  i saw them twice on a solo gig. First time in holland with around 12000people and second time in germany with 18000 people.. 

Russia ;-)

it`s 2nd in the german album charts

this is ridiculous people. There is nothing to defend about axl`s performance. i`ve seen him sing on different nitl shows, with ACDC, in 2012 and at RAR 2006, so i know what i`m talking about. i know some people try to believe you can`t make the voice out when you`re caught in the moment, but i guess they know that`s bullshit themselves. of course you can hear him. the concert in berlin was a desaster. i was there. i`m very rarely posting here, but this bullshit i`m reading is getting out of hand. this goes for the same old "he`s bad at the start of a tour" bullshit as well. does anyone seriously believe that? he might be getting better with time, but in berlin it was different.

axl had some very serious vocal problems. it wasn`t just the sound or whatever. i was afraid he had to end the gig early to be honest. if you paid attention, you could clearly see him fight through it. he was skipping several lyrics in most songs and sang some parts completely different like in this i love. this was because he just couldn`t do it. he also was constantly talking to the band through the in ear monitors and left the stage anytime he could. at one point i could see fernando talking very angrily with tom mayhue, but i`ve obviously no idea what went on. but it was obvious they had some shit going on. and then they skipped you could be mine, coma, yesterdays and so on...  you guys saw the setlist.

i know some people thought his last performances in 2017 were great, but he was having problems back then too. i`m speechless, that only so few people actually hear that. and whatever problem he had seems to be getting very serious now. i know some of the problems came from the sound system, but axl`s voice was cracking so hard, i thought it could be completely gone at any moment. he couldn`t even hit simple notes... and people next to me didn`t even notice. i have tickets for the show in Gelsenkirchen and i hope they`ll find some way solve this.

same goes for Prostitute

how about this guy:

what are you talking about? all these shows were basically sold out after thousands of tickets were returned. except for Wembley, which is bigger than the rest of the places they`re playing. I didn`t see an empty seat in Hamburg.

and this is how the original looks like:

I´m most excited about hearing them play Double Talkin`Jive! Fuckin`heavy song and Slash`s solo is out of this world on this one! I´ve seen it live once at a Slash show, but that`s not quite the same...  I´d fly in from Germany and would obviously love to get these tickets, as i`m a poor student and flight, hotel AND ticket is quite a lot of money for me. There were strong rumors about a show in germany this year, but it seems that plans changed..

as i`ve got to choose, i`d say east rutherford, NJ.

wow! i never realized how fucked up tommy is..

he looks like he`s got some serious drug problems

who said they`re playing three new songs?

I dont think alot of people will buy tickets to see this. Hope im wrong

The German theater showings had 2-3 people per showing, according to someone who posted here a while back.

And that's in a country where GNR will never perform again.

What's the story with them not playing in Germany? I haven't heard that one.

that`s because it`s bullshit. and there were definitely more than 2-3 people, who ordered tickets per showing. it`s right that they moved it from the big screen to smaller ones ( about 200 seats i think) and those were far from sold out, but they would have filled up quite nicely. it was the same deal with the zeppelin concert, which i went to.

i see nothing new there....

NO CHINESE DEMOCRACY

Universal denies the release of the new Guns N' Roses

Guns N' Roses disappoint the fans once again.

Although the nearly solemn oath of Axl Rose that before Christmas announced the release of “Chinese Democracy”, today the denial of the Universal. The album - attended for 2 March - has not been included in the releases of the major, that since ten years, with the fan from all over the world, wait for the release.... etc...

2 March? We're not expecting the 2nd! We were told the 6th! So it obviously wont be coming out the 2nd! Mind games! Also theyre gonna deny coz they might be wanting for the last possible moment for an announcement, to shock everyone.

albums don`t come out on tuesdays everywhere.... think about it

Some parts of this letter sound like Axl is trying to convince himself ("we believe it's true GNR record") or like is trying to run away from pressure ("at the end, it's just an album")....

really bad interpretation....

just take it for what it is. he said it`s just an album, but one they put all their passion and whatever into.....

In HTGTH someone even modified my pics and applied a watermark "HTGTH" on them.

That sucks.

bullshit.... gypsysoul scanned the pics and put a watermark under them. there are like 10 different scans floating around dude.

eyeliner worked wonders for Green Day, it turned them back into rock gods after years of relative obscurity...

Ozzy is even older than Axl and he never goes onstage without.

Marilyn Manson anyone?

what about Alice Cooper?

Nikki Sixx, and his mates...

That´s the thing, they´re on stage while wearing it. Not in private, except for freakshow Marilyn of course...

a photoshot isn`t quite private, is it?

think before posting... i don`t like him wearing make up by the way.....

Its not bad.

Although I'll be really worried if this (alongside IRS) is the standard of the the more 'rockin' songs on the album.

The ballads we've heard so far are fantastic, but I wanna hear Axl singing over some serious rock music............ Not grungy synth music with piano intros.....!! I want to be blown off my seat....!

LA

i`m completely satisfied with the rockers we`ve heard so far...( and we still didn`t hear the studio versions yet...)

chinese democracy

better

IRS

rhiad and the bedouins

Bull shit...

Right, and how do ya know, sweetass? It is just what I was told.

Cos Matt calls the majority of CD rumours bullshit, unfortunately for the community here at this forum he has largely been right ..... hope you're telling the truth.

I don't like being right... don't get me wrong. With no sourse other than 'some guy at a bar I was having a few beers with', you can pretty much make an educated guess and throw the bull shit flag.

No offense to the original poster. Last week, we had some dude fabricate the gunsnroses.com website itself saying the CD would be released on December 18th, and they even made up a pretty believable Photoshopped image of the page. Too bad the contents of the story sounded like they were written by a 10 year old.

So, people will have to do better than 'some guy in a bar over a beer told me...'.

exactely......

a "bestellformular" doesn`t sound too far fetched though....

bullshit or not....

threads like this are bullshit.

we`ll get to know soon enough and definitely not from a record store....

Ok, so you wd. not like to see that list?

There is no reason for my friend to lie, he is not even a big fan of GNR so why shd. he fool me?

Any1 else here from Hmaburg? Go to Michelle Records and ask, they will confirm!

heres the link... http://www.michelle-records.de/

i didn`t say i don`t believe you..... but even if this is true, it doesn`t mean anything....

i got my hopes up way to often this year, to be dissapointed by a record store rumour again... if you ask me, the rolling stone rumour (november 21st) was true as well..... it was just post poned.....

out of curiosity, i`ll probably call the store tomorrow though...

bullshit or not....

threads like this are bullshit.

we`ll get to know soon enough and definitely not from a record store....

now all you negative idiots (the tour will fail/is doomed) can shut the fuck up....

does anybody here know for a fact that they only sold 1000 tickets??

i smell bullshit

i think some people are paranoid.....

it`s still a month until these shows take place....

Ze Germans aren't the most passionate of people. Serious skeletons in their collective closets you see.

seriously dude.... what do you expect??

it was fuckin 4 am in the morning and cold as fuck... i was at rock am ring and the crowd was great. watch the korn concert from the same day(8 hours earlier though...) 70000 people jumping....

gnr started their set 12 hours after i went in front of the stage... and i was seriously happy having survived korn by the way... lots of people were standing there for more than 8 hours before gnr even started... did you ever go to a festival?? if you did i can`t understand your reaction... gnr played after the headliner. they took the stage from 1:45am to 4am....

and well... they cut a lot from the concert... axl said thank you like 15 times during the concert, because people were chanting "guns n roses" after every song.. i think it`s on the broadcast when he says "a very generous crowd"... i was really surprised about the positive response the band got, especially the new songs, which were very well received imo.
