zeppelinrocksnexttognr Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 If they are getting between 3-5 million per shows, but they play a secret gig on Friday; I seriously doubt that they'd make anything close to that amount for it. Wouldn't other places throw a fit because of how much they're gonna pay them if they do a show for next to nothing? Either way, I'm stoked. I just hope everything is a lock for the tour.

In Social Media world, that means he is saying the sticks are not his and that he uses Vater sticks. Come on, this isn't that hard...it's clear as day. No conspiracy here. Fair enough, but I'm not really following a conspiracy though? As much as I follow GNR, when I get home and there's 9 new pages in this thread I just skip to the last 1 or 2 That's interesting I guess though, since I took the context of his comment being towards the barrage of Adler comments. I guess I'm late to the conspiracy then if it's that Adler will guest and those are his sticks? Fuck it, I don't even care anymore, I can count the days on my fingers, April 8th is almost here, I'm so fucking excited I expect to make it through the day of the show on nothing but a water bottle and adrenaline, just bring on the fucking show already!

They'd be playing a very paired down set, little to no stage production just balls to wall live music. Big shows would get the 'big show' treatment, there's huge costs involved in playing the other 21 dates that you don't have to factor in for a small club show in the city where all the members are based.

bbedwards Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Some of you guys really like to take an unsubstantiated fantasy and run with it! The sticks-likely are Ahead sticks (even though it's Ahead GRIP TAPE that we see the logo on, which could be put on ANY brand of stick. That said, they look like Ahead sticks). Yes, they are linked to only Sorum of the past GnR drummers. But did anyone think maybe these particular sticks are just for another member (Dizzy? Axl?) to do random percussion parts with? Cowbell or something? As far as the mic's on Slash's amps-looks exactly like how a skilled engineer would mic a guitar rig for a live show. (I should know, it's what I do for a living). No conspiracy that they're recording new songs a week before the tour begins. It's called dress rehearsal. All hands on deck, all crew, doing it exactly as they will at the live shows to work out the bugs with FOH and monitors. This is what rehearsal is for. Also no conspiracy that they're somehow prerecording tracks for the live show because amps are mic'd up professionally. Again, read my post above about rehearsal. Derp. Besides, why would they need prerecorded guitar tracks with 2-3 guitarists on stage? And one of them is a guy named SLASH? I mean, it's fun to speculate and all, but some of you guys need to reign it in a bit lol. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So...lets settle down a little. I'm not sure what your point is? I explained why GN'R could get paid $3 million dollars for a stadium show, while they most likely won't get that amount for a club show. Do you think Live Nation would have shelled out millions of dollars for a deal with GN'R if they went on a club tour this summer? No, Live Nation get their money back from ticket sales from the stadium shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not disagreeing with you about the above. Not sure what your argument is though. GN'R will get $3 million for a club show? I'm sure GN'R is happy to do a potential club show without demanding $3 million for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I've seen Metallica live 25 times, so I got plenty of them in their prime really. I agree for the most part, but I thought ATT was one of their better shows in recent memory... Kirk was a bit sloppy (solo wise), but the rest of the guys were pretty decent. James's edge? I guess some artists keep their snarl throughout their career like Axl or MAYBE! a Lou reed but Hetfield lost his in rehab... he's still a riff machine and has phases where he's vocally on fire. Was watching moscow '91 earlier, I had forgotten how good they were back then! so much tighter! but I think they could be that tight (or close) if they Iron maidened their set and played the same set verbatim every night.
