SlashisGOD Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 I voted awesome shows, but one never knows when it comes to GNR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Axl won't be that good. First few shows of a tour are always rough for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Energy and "happiness" pays of some possible voice problems IMO. I don´t know if the guys are REALLY in good terms (not just burocratic, but personal, as friends again), I just want to see these guys having a good time playing GNR songs again as a band! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlreed44 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 I'm thinking positive and we will see HIGH energy Axl, Voice takes a hit but cant beat the excitement of the shows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busngabb Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Still up in the air as to whether the shows even start for me. What happens when Axl turns up late and refuses to go on until they are an hour late. Do Slash and Duff ignore what they said in the past and let him get away with it, or do they kick off at that point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 LOL at people who somehow think the shows won't happen. AIC is supposed to start around 9:30 right? I imagine they get 60-75 minutes (that's what Loaded got in 2011 BTW). So when Axl hits the stage around 11:30 he'll still be 'on time'. Anyway, regarding the shows, I'm expecting something around the level of the last Vegas shows or the best of the 2011/12 shows, but with Slash and Duff picking up some of the slack basically. It'd be great if he sounded like 2010 or 2006, obviously people would think that he would be preparing for this like he did for those tours, but Axl's had his share of fuck-ups........

BigD62 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 I think they will be excellent with no drama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonofnazareth Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 they'll be great. I don't think Axl is careless enough to be unprepared for these pivotal shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caught_in_a_Coma Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 I dunno but I'm gonna be on here, hopefully catching streams, talking about this historic event 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDemocracyRose Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Still totally unreal to me that Slash and Axl will be on the same stage again. Will see it happen before I believe it... ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he cares about his fans, has any pride and cares about the GnR legacy - then yes. That's what any other professional singer would do it. This is potentially the biggest rock tour of the last decade. It would be absolutely outrageous if Axl didn't show up in shape and ready to kick ass from date one. Absolutely outrageous. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Axl didn't reunite with the guys to lay an egg. I hope they kick ass. The band will be fine (awesome). Axl isn't 28 anymore, so he isn't gonna sound 28, but what I don't want is laziness out of him, and I don't expect it. I think he's motivated as hell. GnR are gonna blow the roof off T-Mobile Arena. Too bad too because it looks like such a shiny nice new place! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Nova Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 They know all eyes will be on them, especially the first shows....I'd be shocked if they don't come out swinging, sounding really good....including Axl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I have seen much from Axl the last decade that makes me confident he will come out swinging though. We will know soon won't we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-W.A.R- Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 it usually takes a bit for Axl to warm up and get in the swing of things vocally/conditionally i just hope hes not full-on mickey mouse because if he thought the internet was garbage in 2001 he hasn't see anything yet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonofnazareth Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 (edited) how much more complaining can fans do about the mickey voice? We have already complained and complained...if the mickey voice is still present, there is nothing more that fans can do to resolve the issue.

Archtop Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 I have my fingers crossed for all those going to Vegas that it will be awesome. I will be here sat on the sofa, hiding behind the cushion until somebody posts that Axl has brought his A game and 2016 will go down in forum future history as the year we want him to sound like. If he can do it for the first shows the others should be in the bag. We will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanboy Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Axl will be back as an angry machine like the old days, and blow our mind. Ok, I know..I know...Im out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussTCB Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 For me, chemistry will be key at the first show. Axl doesn't have to sound 100%, they don't have to absolutely nail every song. I'd just like to see them all care enough to put on a good show together. Another occurance like Van Halen 2004 will take the entirety of the wind out of my sails for the Saturday show.

StrangerInThisTown Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 It seems more than likely that he'll sounds better the first few shows than later ones in the tour, because then the excitement of having slash and Duff wore off, and it will become normal for him again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
