SteveAJones Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) A consequence of Axl flatly refusing to do the things one needs to do to sustain a viable solo career. Unless he can somehow bring himself to start aggressively promoting this band and this tour I think we've reached the end of the line.

highvoltage Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 For what it's worth too... I'd add that Newcastle is a pretty small market to sell out the Stadium. Most big bands play at the Entertainment center or don't play there at all. I never saw them getting close with ticket sales at the Stadium, especially when they were announced so late (compared to the other tours at the moment).The Ent-cent has much better sound too... not trying to spin anything, but it's a good thing that it's been moved there IMO.

wasted Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 This board is consisent, if anything.Only in the world of GnR could having to move to a smaller venue and 2-for-1 ticket deals be viewed as a positive or as the norm. To a select few on the board nothing is ever Axl's fault......and everything the current version of GnR does is golden.15 people could show up for the next concert, Axl could fart the melody to one song and then storm off stage, and about five of you would be on here saying what an amazing show it was and would be going full battle against any poster that wasn't praising the 5-minute show.Must be an odd feeling to be so wrapped up in idol worship that you lose your ability to think logically. I can't imagine how pathetic that must be for some of you.Does this 5 minute show involve a riot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normal stuff here.these are the same people that called axl all kinds of names based on a "source" that said he requested bucketheads, guitar to be removed from the display at the hard rock. yet if these people scrolled down like 3 posts they would see it was utter bullshit, but instead they kept running with it.they dont care about what is right they just want something they can fit into their agenda.

Did we ever find it out it was wrong, though? I could have missed something, but last I checked, it was inconclusive. And there's a difference if that's the case.

Nosaj Thing Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 ^ What he said. Could've been Axl, Beta or someone else. Assumptions everybody, just that. We're quick to dismiss that it was Axl or Beta based on "nothing" but we should believe it was someone else based on...? Come on, don't make me laugh.

Come on, don't make me laugh.why would we believe it was axl, beta or whoever in the gnr camp or someone else all together? the guitar was on the other side of the country. no one had it put in storage, it was all based on a false premise to begin with.

The sound is very awesome there. I was just attracted to the fact that GN'R would be playing my favourite team's home ground. Haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewolfshead Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 If Slash's shows were being turned into '2 for 1' deals, and being downgraded in capacity, we would never hear the end of it: ''Slash plays half empty clubs blah blah blah''. Yet Rose bombs in Oz and it is considered a 'successful tour'. Rose fans are freaksYep, it would be hilarious if it wasn't scary. All this talk how Slash plays to nothing but 2000 seat places and in Sydney Slash sold out a 14,000 seat arena and "GNR" is downgrading to 6000 seaters."Be here at the end of the tour! Axl will slam his mic down and say good fuck**g night.......this = successful tour. Sydney Entertainment Centre? It's listed as a 13,250 capacity venue for concerts, and GnR is playing in a 21,000 seat arena in Sydney. Why are you comparing Slash playing in Sydney with GnR switching locations in Newcastle? They aren't "downgrading" in Sydney, they're playing in a bigger venue than Slash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You always think someone has to win.I just enjoy when people present accurate data which can be backed up. That's all. Which is what he did. I just really appreciated him bringing some factual information into the thread. When I said he "won the thread," I just meant his contribution is perhaps the most meaningful and/or relevant.

DieselDaisy Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 The reason the Axl defenders claimed the story was 'false' was based on the premise that the guitar turned up in LA's Hard Rock Cafe, where I think it lies today (as if the Vegas Cafe would never have considered, passing it on to another branch!). But for me, the jury is still out on that story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I am 50/50 on it, as I said. But it is in line with the person who removes Slash t-shirts from venues (and he does do this: you cannot whitewash it any other way). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
