Everybody is scrambling to get tickets, then they announce Las Vegas as a warm up gig for Coachella. Everybody is scrambling to get tickets, then they announce a warm up gig for the warm up gig. Everybody is scrambling to get tickets, but none will get any. I kinda think that sucks. Yea but none of us are important enough to be in GNR's private circle. If this show is for the people close to them then that's fine. Atleast we know Axl will get a sound check/ rehearsal in before the big shows if this turns out to be real.

Just like in life it's all about who you know so there will probably be industry insiders there who wouldn't know Catcher from Coma and that sucks for the diehards who deserve to be there but that's how it goes sometimes. Since this is all a fantasy right now anyway,I just know a few ,hardcore GNR nerds would find their way in without having to pleasure Dan Duff to do so. I would pretty much pleasure anyone to get in a gig like that ahaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if it's private then they should just keep it private and not announce it. And why are hangers-on more important than us? We keep them in their jobs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it'd be beggars and hangers-on,more like friends/family along with important industry people and of course,celebrities. It'd be nice if a portion of the tickets for this hypothetical gig were set aside for fans/the GNR fanclub as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlslash Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I expect it won't be a full concert. More likely a press conference and a few songs, a la Motley Crue's reunion in in the mid-2000s. Vegas will be the first full public show. Holy crap, this is gonna get fuckin good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand this 100% It would be sort of poetic though, if it's a full reunion and they're playing one of their early clubs as the first one.

If you are important enough to the band to be there then you have likely played some kind of role in getting them where they are. It's a nice gesture to do your sound check in front of those people as a way to give back. The fans will likely see a full tour and have every opportunity to see this lineup. However they want to do it is their thing. I have a hard time being mad at the band for scheduling a show at a small LA club, I think it's a great way to start this run. but nothing has been confirmed so let's see what the details are first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And fuck celebrities, they can get the expensive tickets for free in Las Vegas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GibsonLP Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I could see this also being a tour announcement gig. Play a few songs with full press coverage and announce the tour which then sells like crazy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problem with "important" people hanging out at their rehearsal place. I just would have a problem if this "rehearsal/warm up" show, for which no tickets would be available, would be announced as this big event.

The Mods and Admins along with one randomly drawn Supporter (how's that for a PERK!)can have a WWE Royal Rumble style match with the winner getting the lone spot reserved for MYGNRFORUM.

James Bond Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 If all five are truly involved it makes you wonder why they didn't just announce the line-up already. Maybe the initial rumours from around December or so that there'd be "AFD gigs" and a "touring line-up" are true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GibsonLP Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Plus you'd want the big news to coincide with a major tour announcement? 1 minute ago, Babooshka said: I remember that.

Lowrlder54 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I think its going to be a free event, first people to RSVP or something. Maybe Night Train members will get priority? I don't think it will be a full show, just a tour announcement, press conference + maybe a few songs . If that is the case, I'm sure it will be a mad house over there, good thing i work 2 miles away from Whisky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paranoyd androyd Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) been saying for a few weeks now that i would be really surprised if there wasn't a private show at the Whisky or Troub Edited March 21, 2016 by paranoyd androyd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vissud Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Have to be honest, I just assumed Adler fell off the wagon, but I can't imagine the Whisky would mislead people so much here, with that juxtaposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Nova Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Well, I wasn't sure earlier but after Whisky mentioned G N' R by name, there is obviously something going on now. One of two things comes to mind....the first, some sort of G N' R event at the Whisky....the second, would be Adler rejoining G N' R for the reunion..........possibly both?
