Will Vegas be your last GNR concert?

[PirateRadio]

As it stands, you can only go to five shows so far. Given the cost of the Vegas dates, I think I'm out. I'd love to hear new music, but I don't think I need to see them live anymore. However, if Axl is singing great, I'd consider it if the price was right.

[Nosaj Thing]

For more than two decades, Guns N' Roses stopped existing.  Fans around the globe have been waiting for Slash to perform with Axl again since then.  They both made us believe that it wouldn't happen.  That it was impossible.  0% chances of that ever happening.

Yet, it is happening.

The only thing that matters now, is how good Axl sounds.  At least to me.  I will not give Axl Rose a penny from my pocket if he's still a lazy, unprofessional musician.  If he sounds good, though, I'm ready to follow them wherever they perform.

[Subtle Signs]

I'll go to Toronto since it's only two hours from me and Canadian crowds are generally great. I wouldn't go again unless the AFD 5 were guaranteed to play and/or newly recorded tunes were in the set. 

[TheSeeker]

Axl played less than 5 minutes from my house a few years ago and I didn't go because his voice was shit

In 2010 I took a 10 hour bus ride to see GNR

What does that tell you

[ZoSoRose]

Naw, I'll still see them when I cqn. They're my favorite band so why not?

This is the truth.

Of course I will. Much cheaper and front row.

Front row won't be much cheaper for a couple years...unless you are talking about not needing to pay for travel.

[Original]

Good question/thread.  I don't know.  I'd like to say 'hell no' to your question.  I'll for sure see them if/when they hit Minneapolis, will I travel to see them again is the big TBD.

In Europe there won't be that seated nonsense. There will be a full floor of standing. And no way near as expensive as in Vegas. That's a fact.

[Słash]

Im not going to Vegas, but if the band was near me, then why not? I travelled to another city, stayed overnight there for NuGNR and for Slash also, so why not now? If everything fits in my budget then I would see them again and again. 

There are a very few bands which I closely follow and GNR is basically on the top at the moment for me, so well I am looking forward for more shows to come.

There's GA in Vegas and as I said front row won't be much cheaper for a couple years and I'll stand by that bc I don't think they're going to make it to Europe for a couple years unless it's a festival.  But cheaper is all relative once you start talking about world-wide economics anyway.

 

 

[classicrawker]

The real question you should be asking is this the last shows they will play together...........

 

But seriously I will not go see them unless I can get a decent seat at less than $100 of course unless Izzy and Steven or Matt were to join them then I might be willing to pay a little more....that of course assumes Axl does not keep the punters waiting 3 hours to start the show......If he starts his Diva make the audience wait BS I would not go if the tickets were free...........

 

 

[xBrownstonex]

The answers dont match the question:

 

if you say "will you be attending anymore GNR concerts after that?" and start the answer with "yes", then it should mean, that i am going to go to another show.

but anyway, of course i will be attending more shows.

Axl is quoted as saying that it's gonna be a full tour. So of cause they are coming to Europe, they always did. As for Vegas, yes there is a small standing section, but how many tickets did they sell for that? 300, for 250 $ a piece? There will be more in numbers and cheaper in price. And I will stand by that and you'll see.

[Archtop]

I'm in the UK so not attending the current shows. If they come over to Europe and Axl is in fine voice I will be tempted.

If they come as a full reunion I would sell my soul for tickets.

I hope you're right. But GnR played at the O2 in the UK last (right?) and that was all seated except a small pit at the front (like Vegas basically). I can't stand how sterile these big concerts have got. Bring back the days of the old Wembley Stadium! The only places I think you get full standing now is festivals - which is cool, but you won't get the same kind of crowd as at a proper GnR show. 

After a lot of agonizing (and obsessive checking of bank statements) I've decided not to go to the US and to wait until they (please God) do a European tour. Then I plan to take a tent and do my own mini GnR tour / holiday round Europe and see them a few times

I agree - I reckon European tour (including a festival or two) will be 2017. It's too late for 2016 now. Although I would gladly sell an arm or leg to be proven wrong

I call BS bro. You drive to see Dizzy Reed play bathrooms, and bumble sell hot sauce. You'll go no matter the line up

A fan said he said it....we'll see.

Remember we are talking "front row", not just GA.

 

For your sake if you're in Europe...I hope they do make it your way.

QFT.

the threads when there's no news...

If it's absolutely shit, and there's no sign of things getting better then I think any sane fan would jump ship. As it stands none of us have actually seen a performance from this particular incarnation of GnR so answering any of the above seems a little crazy.

Well, the UK is not Europe, like UKers always have the need to point out :-p ;-) But if I rember correctly, 2010 was standing... I almost went to that one, but decided against it, because standing was sold out... and then Duff showed up. Damn it.

Either they come this year, for a couple of shows or they come next year. It's out of the question that they are not coming. Mark my words.

See, my list of concerts. I've been front row at every show on that list, except Basel in '92, which was my first and I was inexperienced, Mallorca, where I was second row, the 2 Michael Jackson shows in New York, which were seated and Duff in Milano, which was a festival and I've was late.

Ok....good for you
