Guns N' Roses @ Vegas - May 21-June 7


Recommended Posts

Prince had multiple shows in the same day there. They had no problems. Its not like they have to really do a lot of work on the stage. I would doubt a comedian really has more than a mic & maybe a back drop.

Having the same show twice in one night is quite common in Vegas, but Prince's shows were at 8pm and 11:30pm and it's the exact same setup for both shows...

Jim Jefferies is scheduled for 8:00pm. The doors are likely to be open at 8:00pm for the GnR shows, a bit earlier for VIP.

The Jefferies show is likely to be all seated. GnR will have GA Standing at the front.

Why are we even discussing this? Both shows will definitely not happen on the same night.

Last residency GNR did, the doors didn't open until 9:30 and the opening band started at 10:00 for the weekend shows, and GNR didn't start till about 11:30. It could be done...especially if there's no opening band.

I don't remember having to wait around as late as that to get in, especially the night I had VIP tickets, but regardless - the advertised doors time was 8pm. Crowds at the venue are starting to get quite large by this time.

I'm not saying it's impossible, I'm just saying these 2 shows will not happen on the same night in the same venue. No chance ;)

Is an announcement coming today?

No, apparently. Here is what NGOG posted earlier today:

"Update: In typical GNR fashion, the Hard Rock have delayed Monday's big announcement.

Phone inquiries are no longer being entertained by Hard Rock staff.

Whatever logistic is holding confirmation up - many have speculated that a comedian's appearance conflicts with GNR's - we hope to update you when possible."

TB- talk about mismanagement. Get a real manager Axl.

Why can't these guys even get the simple stuff correct?

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the issue here that a forum-member tricked an employee into giving out info that she shouldn't have? And now that there is a scheduling mix-up at the Hard Rock you blaming TB?

If you check the events listing for the joint on the hard rock website...May 31 Jim Jefferies @ 8:00 and GNR @ 11:45. It's been up and down a couple of times today, but it's up there right now. That's the only date for GNR right now though. Hopefully the other ones start popping up too.

Yeah in all honesty, this isn't TB's fault. We shouldn't have known any potential dates or even a potential "Info" date. We were given a number to text for updates and that's it.

So because the Hard Rock gave out this info that they shouldn't have, we now have people bitching and blaming the band/management? That doesn't make sense.

True, I think. Although I think he just called, asked and got an answer. Not really tricking, I think. But you're right. Maybe we can't pin this on TB ;)

"Tricked" might not have been the best choice of words but I don't doubt that a good few dozen of members here kept on calling the hotel to get us what we need most...

FFS. Even the residency dates will trickle out show by show with this band :lol:

I guess those dates are confirmed then?

Uhh, yes.

Why doesn't this sort of thing happen with any other bands? False release dates have become the MO of GnR over the past couple of years. One time is a mistake or freak of nature......but this pretty much happens anytime there is some sort of release information with this band.

Try this on for size and tell me how it feels to you: "In spite of a fan notice on an internet forum, no specific dates have been agreed on for the potential upcoming 2014 Vegas residency. As soon as we know the dates, we'll pass them on to you."----Team Brazil, Axl, Del, etc. (That took me literally less than 30 seconds to type).

Followed up by "Thank you all for your patience regarding new music from the current band. We know it's been more than five years since our last release, and that you all are chomping at the bit to hear a new album. Our goal as a band is to have a new album in your hands by the end of this summer. Our band members want that album out as much as you guys to and we are all working hard to make that happen. We'll give you a progress update in a couple months. Thanks for your support!" --- Axl, Team Brazil, Del, etc.

This is stuff that EVERY other band in the world does, or that their management team is capable of doing.

There is no reason that GnR can't get this right.

Put me in charge and you'll have ZERO f*ck-ups like this happen. Doing publicity for a band isn't rocket science or brain surgery. There is absolutely NO reason that this kind of crap has to happen on everything that GnR is involved in. From music videos, to Harley Davidson commercials to movie theatre runs to album release dates to live DVD releases to concert dates............is there anything that goes smoothly and doesn't turn into a clusterf*ck every time?

While I agree with you in most of these cases, in this case GNR just said they were going to announce Spring Vegas dates soon, nothing more, so we can't really blame them in this case. Vegas DVD, London cinema release, everything else, yeah, I agree, but not here.
