gnrkoncerti Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 In LA show Axl said something like "We had a lot of trouble to do this show..."...So what kind of trouble they had? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcoM Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Los Angeles Times: Can you talk about the L.A. show at the Forum on Wednesday night? Axl Rose: Well, LA will be interesting. I’m looking forward to it. We had a great time in ’06. We did three nights at the Gibson. But this year was very weird because the industry was trying to force us into a smaller show — just one, and then make it two. But the real thing about it is that the sound’s not that good at the Palladium — and why are we going down, when we can draw more? So we’re doing the Forum, but it really wasn’t done right. We had to fight for that.

dalsh327 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 When it comes to venues, there's usually a lot of discussions on where bands are going to play. It sounds like the local promoter was trying to get them to play a theater when Axl wanted to play an arena. There's 2 "cheap" venues that bands rarely play, the LA Forum and the Sports Arena by the old Olympic stadium. The Palladium has a capacity of 4000, so that's prob. why he didn't want to play there. Nokia Live is a great venue because it borderlines on arena as far as people go, and the sound is pretty good there. But for a GNR show, where people want to stand up and use pyros, an arena's a better place for their show. I think Hollywood Bowl should be on the agenda this year. They can actually get a full orchestra and get a fireworks show if they did a show there. And with AFD 25, makes sense to play there. It has 18,000 capacity.
