Stryker Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Ticket purchased for section 10. More than I'd like to have paid, but the event is priceless. The band played their last show before I was even born, so I imagine I might be one of the youngest in the crowd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Axl sounds like Crap and there are 7 or 8 members running around on stage with only 3 originals I might get deflated quick.. Then if they start playing CD songs lol.. Will Adler and Izzy be there? I had pushed most of the negative thoughts out of my head until I saw some videos from that last Vegas show the other day.. Someone had posted Jungle recently and Axl sounded pretty damn good. But then I saw other videos from the same show and.. just ouch... They were terrible.. This is going to either be fucking amazing or a complete train wreck... \m/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try being me in this situation! So, I'm going to see David Gilmour on Friday in Chicago, right? I'll probably check the Vegas update thread out after I get out of Gilmour, but with the time difference there's chance the GN'R show might not have even started yet. If not, I'll head to bed then check it again when I'm waiting to fly out of O'Hare on Saturday morning. I envision roughly 50 pages, 50-100 reviews (between people who were there and people who saw YouTube clips) and around 500 different opinions of everything LOL. So then I get on a plane, land in Vegas, hook up with whomever is awake and get the same varying opinions live and in person, all while still waiting my turn for the second show on Saturday! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunsfanoldie Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I'm gonna have my phone on me but I don't plan to use it at all for either night. Maybe for a picture or two, but literally planning to drink in every moment. Then again, aside from writing down setlists which I feel no reason to do at these shows, I'm not usually tempted to use my phone during concerts. I paid $250 a night, I'm there for GNR lol!

You know how some cities are "walking cities" because it's best to pretty much walk everywhere (like Chivago)?

Subtle Signs Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) Maybe it's because I'm old but if someone is posting tons of pictures/updates during a concert ,how good can it be? Do people want Facebook likes that badly? I waited 24 years for this,my phone can stay in my pockets.

buzzsaw Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I've been to a lot of concerts. I take a few pictures at almost all of them. These 2 will be no different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proud10 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I try to take a few pictures during songs I don't like (not many for this show I assume), or take a short video during a repetitive chorus. I think it's nice to have things to look back on but recording whole songs is ridiculous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 A few pictures are fine. I think it was when I saw Guns in 2011, some girl had her camera out the whole time and would occasionally put it in front of me (I was front row, center) to take pictures. By the 3rd time she'd done it I was trying to smack it out of her hand So in short - take a few pictures but don't be a cunt 2 hours ago, Subtle Signs said: Maybe it's because I'm old but if someone is posting tons of pictures/updates during a concert ,how good can it be? Do people want Facebook likes that badly? I waited 24 years for this,my phone can stay in my pockets. While I'm not even 24 years old I agree with this at what point does someone look at the other 10,000 phones in front of them and realize it's time to just enjoy the show? Take 1 or 2 pictures if you wanna show people where you were sitting, that's fine, but unless you're bootlegging the whole show for other fans there's no need to be filming or fucking around with a camera half the time. Usually what I do is use my phone/camera for select songs and just rapidly take shots, and sort out the good ones afterwards. Maybe a 1-2 minute video, but it's been a while since I've bothered to film a whole song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't have to go crazy but yeah, like it or not, when I get to a show on this alleged tour, I'm taking pictures and videos. Not even gonna get wasted, just maybe a buzz. Otherwise, it'll just feel like a dream too good to be true. I'm gonna have to watch those videos back and stare at my pics a million times, then MAYBE I'll believe it. But to go crazy uploading? I won't but I'll appreciate the ones in Vegas that will because I'll be waiting in anticipation and excitement like no other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to the urinal, then heard Axl say "You're talking to yourself"... Missed the first part of Estranged! Not gonna miss a second of the first Vegas show pissing!!!! But I'm gonna throw em back til well after sunrise when it's over! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
