I just read every interview he's given for the last decade and it's gotta be who I think it is. I'm almost positive of it. Again, it all adds up.

Voodoochild Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Also possible somewhere in this mix is an L.A. club show, with sources saying that the Troubador on L.A.’s Sunset Strip being the most likely location. Live Nation reps and Fermaglich have so far not commented on the tour.

First off, Billboard is very reliable. They are noting this is to occur in July and August (Leaving May and June open, which is interesting in and of itself). Additionally as noted future dates are possible as stated AND I'm guessing the delay in announcing this in general was due to a possible bidding war of sorts between AEG and LiveNation based on what I'm reading.

I think Live Nation will produce the tour simply because AEG doesn't run that many stadium-sized venues in the US. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if any of 'em are Mets fans, but I know Mike Mills and Peter Buck are huge baseball fans in general (they started a band called the Baseball Project, after all). Also fit the bill of GNR contemporaries in the HoF buy who don't have a terribly high profile individually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saltzy Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Honestly fellas, I'm too far down the rabbit hole right now to reveal who it is. Even if you were to guess who it is I wouldn't say so. At least not right now I can't. I can't risk him hearing about how I am discussing this on the open forum of the GNR message board and having it all fall to shit if he's not cool with it. Maybe in a week when this is all over or when he tells me it's OK, but like I said, even the members of the forum he is a part still do not know his identity. I only got it by telling a few people in the know there what was going on and basically begging them to tell me and under the assurance I wouldn't tell anyone. Then I did my own research and validated it. It all checks out. I am confident this guy is who he says he is, and that if this show happens he's gonna get me in.... or at least actively try to. My favorite part of our exchange so far was when I asked him why he was doing this for me. "Because you asked? I was on this board for years before I started sharing info about my personal life. There's a few guys who know who I am and have benefited from my connections and generosity. I do it because I can and it's pretty fuckin cool. It's just how I roll." Fucking awesome. His last note ended with, "I will contact you as soon as I score passes. Hopefully it will be early enough for you to get out there." Now I guess I just sit back, wait, (and freak the fuck out). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking about it, I still deeply hope there won't be any warm up show before Vegas but if there's one, it will be really hard not to take a look at what happened. I guess I'll try really hard but let's face it, I'll fail... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6lake sa66ath Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 (edited) 29 pages later, has anyone really considered this angle as per this Classic Rock article: http://teamrock.com/news/2016-03-22/guns-n-roses-ex-steven-adler-to-make-big-announcement The "big announcement" in fact is going to come from Steven and was never intended to be a "big announcement" coming from the Whiskey about a future gig or whatever there.

You know...it could have also been that the Whisky was tipped about the fact that GnR was going to announce the cities for their US tour and that is what the "stay tuned for a big announcment" was referring to. It was only 5 days before the 21 cities were revealed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think Adler had to be locked underground until the Vegas shows. It could have just been a tip on the us shows being announced, but regardless I'm keeping my eyes peeled April 1, 5th and the 6th.
