eschman Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 Anyone still here that saw this show at Mandalay Bay?
Binge_And_Slash Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 I saw GNR in December of 2001 in Vegas at the Hard Rock in Vegas.Nah you're talking about the new band, he saw the one-off reunion in Mandalay Bay.
loosecannon3 Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 Yeah I was there. Waited for over 6 hours to get up close. Those were the days!
AmyL Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 I was at The Joint shows but not the Mandalay Bay thing.
GNR 1991 Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 There was a show at the Mandalay Bay? The Vegas shows I was aware of from 2001 were the Hard Rock and the House of Blues.Anyways, when we waiting for GN'R to hit the stage in 2006 in Oakland, I was talking to some dude who told me he was at one of those Vegas shows, and he said that Silkworms sounded totally different than it did at Rio. He said it sounded way better. I wonder if he was just stoned or talking out of his ass.
bucketmaster101 Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 Silkworms at Vegas was waaaay better than Rio (Y)
AmyL Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 Silkworms at Vegas was waaaay better than Rio (Y) I would have to agree with that too.
jellyzero Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 I was at the HOB show 010101. It was a great time but there was some dude beside me who was making a documentary about it and kept bothering me. I wonder if it ever got made.
Mastodonny Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 I was there. Drove from Indiana to Vegas in the heart of the winter. I have a boot of the show.

In 2001 it shows nothing at Mandalay Bay. I'm with you, I've only heard of HOB and Hard Rock, and of course Rio.

drtydane Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 BUMP. WHat are you talking about? The reunion minus Axhole?
eschman Posted April 20, 2011 Author Posted April 20, 2011 I most remember sitting outside the show for hours, andx the hotel peeps wanting us to stand the whole time. Also, this girl and her boyfriend kept trying to gt in front of me, but it wasn't happening.Btw, hard rock is in mandalay bay, for whomever was confused.Lol @ it didn't happen. It's the first show the new band did. Supposed to start at 1 am, but man it was late. I almost missed my plane to ak the next morning. So much fun though.
Janabis Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 Just to clear up the confusion, the House of Blues is inside the Mandalay Bay. This was the first show the new band did in the early hours of 1.1.01. It was easily the most memorable show I've attended, and there's a good audio bootleg of it. They returned to Vegas a year later to play two shows at the Joint in the Hard Rock Hotel, but there are no bootlegs of those two.

pdxballer Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 I was there 010101 at the HOB, which is in Mandalay Bay. It was a surreal night seeing Axl after all those years. When i first saw him, I was tripping out because I knew it was him but he looked so much different but i couldn't put my finger on it. After it was revealed that he had plastic surgery, then it all made sense. I took my girlfriend and we got right up to the front. She saw me act like a little girl when the band came on and still married me. LOL. Good times.
eschman Posted April 22, 2011 Author Posted April 22, 2011 Lol, we were prob just feet from one another.
Sweersa Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 She saw me act like a little girl when the band came on and still married me. LOL. Good times.Haha, awesome! I wonder if you are both immortalized in the HOB DVD. Let me know what you were wearing at that show.
