I would have been more than content with just the one hometown show. Really...why? I thought Axl sounded great/good. (From the snippets I have heard). Tiny stage so no one could do much moving around, 1st time together in 23 years.... I think Vegas is gonna be magical. So are you selling your tickets?

Birk Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 im not gonna lie i was fuckin salty as hell when they annouced the show last night. ibreally wanted to see theb1st show of them together. But now i feel it has me even more excited. Slash looked a little stiff up there so i think it was a good thing. Just think when we see them they will be playing dl the amount or songs in an arena. gonna be fuckin nuts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't tell now whether I think this means he's more or less likely to show up in Vegas. I know we weren't promised either of them in Vegas, but for a while it seemed Izzy probably would, now he's more out than in it seems. Then the possibly of Adler got stronger so that sort of made up for it. But now I'm not sure either shows up. What I still don't get is WHY Adler didn't show up. Not because he should.... because it's always been "the three" announced.... but because I don't get why he is keeping so quiet then. It's so out of character and how he's been in the pat. I feel it must mean that either he is still going to show up (at Vegas I guess).... or maybe he's relapsed? But then if that were the case I think he'd be shouting his mouth off all over the place. Even though he wasn't there last night, I still feel like he will show... otherwise him being completely silent doesn't really add up to me.

I think he has to show up SOMEWHERE at one of these April gigs. Like you said, I just wouldn't get the silence. Matt and Izzy have seprately answered questions on this, no matter how small and Steven has said nothing. There's no way NO ONE is trying to talk to him. Either he has to be quiet cause he's in, he's NOT in and he's being paid to keep quiet and not whine about it, or worse case is that he's just relapsed, although I really think that ISN'T the case. Either way, I agree with you that the fact that he's not talking while the other two have has to mean something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proud10 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 If Adler showed up for the first Vegas show I think anyone who was mad about the troubadour gig would shut up real quick, lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjasmund Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I think they will show and we'll see the original lineup together. They are using the faces of original GnR for promotions. I remain hopeful Vegas has a surprise for is. Rumor last night was a back problem/surgery for Adler kept him sidelined. Who knows tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birk Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 is there any confirmation that Adler really had a back injury. If thats the case you wont see him at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coloradofan Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 As an update to my stub hub ticket fiasco. The ticket replacement team called me after having the issue escalated and has sent me a what I assume is valid ticket. He said this one came from one of their larger brokers with years of history so I'm sure it will be fine. As I said earlier, the guy who sold this ticket had at least 6 others when I bought mine so i feel sorry for the other guys who don't know better who will show up at the arena on Saturday and have no choice but to accept a refund. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willl Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) With all the excitement of GNR I had forgotten to book a hotel room for my first 2 nights in Vegas Just booked the Excalibur as it looks close enough to NYNY for the fan meetup, and Im staying at the NYNY on the night of the gigs so thought I'd book a different resort for my other nights. Can someone get me in the MGM Grand if we're having a meetup in there as I'm travelling solo and won't know anyone. Don't wanna miss out on the fun Also somewhat worrying is that I haven't yet worked out how the hell I am actually gonna get home. I have a return flight to Dublin booked and land at midday on Monday, but there is no possible way for me to get back to Orkney that same day. I can get to the mainland UK alright, but the boat to my island doesn't leave until 5pm the following day so I'll need to camp in the Scottish Highlands for a night. Either that or stay in some shitty hotel charging more than the Vegas hotels for a fraction of the service. This is gonna be one hell of a journey lol. About 5 days of travel for 4 days in Vegas All of this because I thought there was a very slim chance that Izzy and Adler would appear, but last nights show has deflated all of my optimism that I'll be seeing the AFD5 Edited April 3, 2016 by downliner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did I say wrong? My next post actually said I was looking forward to the gigs regardless of the lineup, and my original post didn't say anything in the slightest bit negative, just that I'd booked it hoping for the AFD5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Izzy himself says he won't be involved, but some random dude on an internet forum that I've never met is saying otherwise..... fucking book that shit right now, just in case The more I think about it, the more I'm starting to realize that if they were to be involved in the tour as guest performers, how playing at the Troubadour may not have made sense at the time....from maybe the band's perspective. I think we saw Guns N' Roses' official lineup last night and they want it to be known that this is the current incarnation of Guns N' Roses and that if they were to have others play with them, it would be as guest performers. Now had they had Izzy and Adler play with them, fans would automatically assume they were in the band and would expect them as full time members in all their future tour dates. By having one or maybe both make an appearance at Vegas,with a full production show, where they can clearly announce them as guest performers, would alleviate fan expectation of them being back in the band full time. Just a wild guess on my part and basically grasping at straws in order to keep my hopes up.....but like you said, I have no expectation of seeing either of them in Vegas. I think having these three reunited is already extremely special and nothing many of us expected to happen less than a year ago.
