GNR 1991 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 i've always wondered if it's easier for axl to get on stage earlier on west coast time than east coast time. any thoughts on that? just curious. never really looked into it before.I saw GN'R in Oakland in 2006 and they hit the stage around 12:45, which I think up until that point was one of the latest ever. This was a day or two after Axl's open letter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARX77 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I've seen them 3 times and they've always been on before 11. Just sayin'...i noticed in your sig you've seen some west coast shit. i've always wondered if it's easier for axl to get on stage earlier on west coast time than east coast time. any thoughts on that? just curious. never really looked into it before.It'd make sense, i think he tends to hit the stage before 11 at most west coast shows now that i think about it... Kinda weird He was on around 10:00 for most of the 2010 cdn tour wasn't he? Aside from montreal i think? Most shows started before 11 on that tour anyway i think....11:30 Toronto show but he apologized for being late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So to me all east coast shows ive attended have started rather late for the most part. I understand that and thankfully have the means to get hotels and taxi's. Only show ive left early was greenville show and ironically it had the earliest start time but I had a real early business meeting the next day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARX77 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Wasn't Rio last year REALLY late? Like "middle of the night"? Or am I way off?They've come on past 2 AM in S America I'm pretty sure or close to it. I think in 2010 in SA after the tornado collapsed the stage, they came on real late. RiR was was past 2 AM right?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Wasn't Rio last year REALLY late? Like "middle of the night"? Or am I way off?I thought so to.I just did some quick googling and seems it ended about 4:30 AMish, so 1 or 1:30 AM start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazey Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 It'd make sense, i think he tends to hit the stage before 11 at most west coast shows now that i think about it... Kinda weird Probably because he's still on east coast time and that gives him an extra three hours to get his arse in gear in LA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Lahey Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 (edited) I believe he took the stage at just past 11 pm in Vancouver last year. And he took the stage around 11:30 pm in Everett back in 06. Not sure what time he took the stage in Tacoma back in 02, but I think it may have been around 10 pm. So yeah, I don't think it really matters what Coast he's on.He saves the latest start times for South America though. That much I do know.

It was funny as shit. Before jungle he said something like." Sorry bout the time delay got a little crazy jumping off shit last night, was getting ready for the show and was like WTF? But we r hear now"Then later on he said something about hearing a radio DJ say GnR live tonight expect them to be on at 2 AM. "so I'm early, right?" Great show!!
