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


Recommended Posts

I can find flights for $300-350 for any of the first 5 dates. It's up to almost $700 for the last three. BS - what prices are you seeing on flights for June?


Hmm...I'm gonna call BS until we see an official announcement then.

All you have to do is Call the hard rock and find out for your self. All i'm doing is relaying information i got to you guys.

I'm thinking of going to may 24 Saturday and May 25 Sunday. Because may 26 is memorial day so it makes it easier to get off work

Flights for me for may 24-26 is $335

Oh, I don't doubt you that they're saying those are the dates. But it's odd that there's already a gig scheduled at The Joint on one of the supposed days.

Yeah that is strange. Someone call them up real quick and ask about that as well.

Those dates look accurate however I would caution anyone making travel plans to await an official announcement on them, reason is the dates may change and I would hate for anyone of us to loose money on flights or travel plans

Stay Tuned

So you guys are willing to say ($350 FLIGHT) AND ($250 EACH NIGHT HOTEL) to go see GNR play the same shit they have been playing for years now, in "HOPES" to hear MAYBE 1 song? Amazing how people have money to blow on something like that, and you wonder why Axl continues to tour nonstop geesh

Yeah I'm sure they're ecstatic that their main purpose as a group is mainly playing songs of a band they weren't even fans of :rolleyes: . What musician would be happy having the central focus of their career being dedicated to playing songs they just feel "meh" about? That's totally different from hiring somebody from a different group you didn't like to play in your band. And it's certainly obvious Axl's not motivated when he's just clearly (effortlessly) going through the motions. And it's certainly obvious that Bumble is openly frustrated.

It's been clear to me personally that this "band" isn't striving to do anymore than just tour for money for a solid year now. But I can't fathom how anybody could have the expectation they'll ever do anything creative again at this point. :shrugs:

It's clear as day this all about keeping Axl's bank account balanced now. Nothing more, nothing less.

Just because they weren't fans of the band before, that does not preclude them from enjoying playing the songs now.

It's clear as day that all musicians make their living and balance their bank accounts by playing music.

None of us really know how the guys feel about playing these shows. They could find them incredibly fun. We don't know.

Ali

We know because they said they weren't fans of the music themselves. I'm not buying that their personal music taste would just change all of the sudden after doing the same ol same ol year in and year out with Axl. C'mon now :lol:. Its a nice paying and consistent job for musicians that have otherwise limited alternatives for the same. It's not exactly difficult putting the puzzle pieces together based on all the information we have.

Yes musicians make money on their music, Ali. I never disputed that. But it's become clear as day nu guns is still around SOLELY to keep Axl's bank account afloat. Not to be creative. Not to make and/or (God willing) share art. It's solely a cash grab now. And it's sad all those wasted years amounted to so little :shrugs:

It's not clear as day at all that the band is around for purely financial reasons. Sorry, it just isn't. These are very talented musicians whose options may not be "limited" like you think. Yet all, with the exception of DJ, have been around for 8 or more years.

Looking at things in a black and white way, and through a prism that only reinforces your pre-existing notions may not be correct. Like I said, they may like making a living and playing together. It doesn't have to be one or the other.

Ali

One last time, yes we do. They said it. Themselves. It's basic math from there. While they might enjoy each other's company, there's not a musician on the face of the Earth who genuinely enjoys playing music time and time again they were not only not creatively involved with, but they weren't even fans of to begin with. Unless, of course, the price is right ;-).

There's glaring evidence clear as day. Looking at it the most realistic way possible is better than looking at it in some far fetched, wishful thinking pov. "Maybe it grew on them...". Right. :lol:.

Aside from Dj, none of them really have a solid plan b outside of Nu Guns. Sure Tommy has the Replacements, but that was always more of a cult band. Once the reunion flare wears off, it'd be back to bars or bust for them. The rest could get the occasional gig here and there, but none that deliver the stability and consistency of nu guns. Not to mention the paycheck. That's what I mean by "limited alternatives".

If Axl was really serious about continuing nu guns creatively speaking, we wouldn't be having another rehash of more of the same. It's all but officially confirmed that we're not getting new nu songs this tour, and Bumble confirmed they haven't worked on shit since being off tour.

Axl would be rehearsing, taking better physical care of himself. But he's not. He doesn't care anymore. And even if they were starting from scratch, there's no way they'd have to tour, tour, tour to fund for new music. 2011, even 2012? Yeah believable. Kinda. Now? Lmfao. It's all amount maintaining luxury without having to crawl back to Slash. Clear. As. Day.

If you can't see that by now, it's just because you don't want to.

Bumble confirmed they have worked on each other's song ideas in his AMA. Like I said before, Looking at things in a black and white way, and through a prism that only reinforces your pre-existing notions may not be correct. It's called confirmation bias.

Ali

They've worked on song ideas, but nothing that ever went forward with Axl's involvement. Which is kinda needed to get shit done.

What you're looking at is strong denial. I'm looking at glaring facts and the obvious.
