wfuckinga Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Axl If the announcement isnt made in enough time, I won't be able to book a hotel or flight. Please don't fuck this up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtle Signs Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) What if the reason for the delay is Gn'R are negotiating with a band to be the opener? They need an artist who can move a decent amount of tickets and be available for the length of the residency. I think they should either go with No Doubt or the Fake Alice In Chains. Buckcherry or Sebastian Bach won't sell any tickets and a band like A7X would likely command too much money.

Amir Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 They sold close to 90% of the tix at the last residency, didn't they? Though I guess it could be diminishing returns. Well done on A7X for getting to headline Download this summer, was very impressed when I saw them at RIR. Won't there be loads of tourists in the summer, anyway? Can see a lot of people just dropping by last minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's where the money is made on events like these residencies. Once they get you into the show (even if they have to give you a comp ticket) they figure you will spend money gambling and on food/alcohol etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouTube videos of the last residency made the crowd seem dead, is that typical of shows there? For every electric Elvis-type gig, there seem to be a hundred sad Wayne Newton/Meat Loaf shows.

If anyones curious.Makes sense, Dead Daisies' last date is 23rd Feb. Cutting it a bit fine, though, first week of March, is that enough time to rehearse? First show is 16th March. Short rehearsal time makes me worried it's not going to be that different from 2013... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChineseIRS Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I guess if they were indeed gonna play 3 "new" songs it would only take a couple weeks to work out. How much rehearsing does the rest of the set really need? Theyve been playin the songs for years....not to mention they didnt say at what point during the year they would add said 3 "new" songs.

Apollo Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 How do you fuck up an announcement? Didn't this happen with the south american annoucement as well?And the rockfuel announcements. What is with these people?Wait a damn minute, pahtna. Are you implying that GnR's management team isn't capable of performing simple tasks like making announcements of upcoming projects?

No one in their right mind would argue that GNRs management isn't made of capable professionnals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were probably just part of coordinating the announcement. And I'm not implying anything. I'm saying flat out that they are shit at managing a band.

Val22 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I get an email from The Joint about every week and so far they don't have the GNR shows listed as yet.I also checked ticketmaster.com and nothing either.Are the dates posted anywhere yet?

batman007 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I just called and tried to plea with them. I told them about work, flights, and crap. Like they care. The lady told me she knows nothing, and doesn't even know if it's actually happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coma16 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 My gf was just complimenting my NT membership t-shirt and said she wanted to come to the next GNR concert I go to. Told her that means we're going to Vegas! We needs dates!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlrosefan4life Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 i don't think those dates were right due to the Jim Jeffries thingWhen I called them bout 2 weeks ago they gave me the list of dates. A few days ago I contacted someone who works with the band and they said they are working through some scheduling conflicts. So I take it the Jim Jeffries bookings is what they meant by scheduling conflict. Guess we will see what happens now. But the dates I posted is the dates the Hard Rock gave me the first time I called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the dates I posted is the dates the Hard Rock gave me the first time I called.Def Leppard extended their residency last year at The Joint by a couple shows, which clashed with the UFC TUF Finale that was scheduled to take place there. UFC had to move the finale to Mandalay Bay instead, so I doubt the Hard Rock would worry about re-scheduling the Jim Jeffries booking to accommodate GnR if they had to. They'll probably roll with whatever dates GnR management tell them (within reason of course)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bonham Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Having 2 events on the same day is not a issue. I really doubt a comedian has a major set up. ( a mic plugged into the p.a?) Getting people in & out is not a big issue either. BTW, I really have no clue who this guy is. But the joint seems pretty big for a comedian. Could it be he's playing in one of the side rooms there? either way, I'm pretty sure there will be no issues.What he said. There's more than one room there at The Joint.

There is also the Vinyl, but Jim Jefferies is listed as playing The Joint.Having 2 events on the same day is most definitely an issue, especially considering they are both evening events. Not possible. Hard Rock will re-schedule Jefferies if GnR require that date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
