That does throw me off a little, but at the same time, I figure it'd probably run 6-9. How does GNR sneak all the equipment and guests/press/crowd from the previous show in without the public seeing? And If the previous gigs stuff is there all day, it'd be tough to move in/set-up all of Guns stuff without being detected right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncitingChaos Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I hope it's a show for celebrities, family and friends haha I doubt we get much footage from that kind of show though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely if they play there, it'll be announced beforehand so people can buy tickets. Maybe on Friday morning, like the article suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most shows that start at 6 will end at 8...GNR won't go on stage until after 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, even if electric, they would probably only have the same gear that your local Friday night band would have....so that isn't much. They could have it already in place and hidden...or load in after the other thing is without much of an issue. Though at that point I think everyone would know what's going on.

I don't think I will be down until maybe 4 or so, I have a conference in Pasadena that day, and I am presenting, so I have to do it. I live in the valley so I am going home and changing and then heading over to the bow too. My pic in profile is me, but this is just a regular pic from today. I am tall/blonde.

From the social media pics, maybe they are already set up there and the Girl Rock thing is a ruse? Anyone out in LA know about the "Girl Rock" organization? Edit: and putting 2+2 together, Emby's source had them at the Whisky at 6 pm....which is the SAME start time of the Girl Rock event at the Troubadour. Whisper down the lane effect maybe? Maybe it's really at the Troubadour at 6 pm and the Girl Rock thing is the April Fool's joke part. Edited March 31, 2016 by Kasanova King Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rft2003 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Now that I'm thinking about it this girl school has been sold out for awhile. What just popped in my head is its booked as girl rock (school) as in (G)irl (R)ock GNR. I'm either tripping or a genius. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd either be stripped down accoustic or have gear for this show similar to what your local band would have for a Friday Night gig at the local watering hole. Places like this have multiple event load ins and outs all the time. Hell, several years ago Prince played an unannounced late night show at a place about the size of the Troub here in Indy and borrowed equipment from the bands that were already there that night. These things work out if a band like GnR wants it too, it'll work out just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't doubt this but at the same time I'd think they'd want their own instruments just for the fact that it's the first time anyone will hear them in decades and they'll be subject to a lot of scrutiny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point being we've all seen the pic of Duff and his multiple bass setup right? He ain't gonna bring all those....he'd probably bring one or two. Same with the rest.

Ak1nney Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) It'd be so easy to have their gear there. A couple full or half stacks, bass amp and head, drums, keys off to the side. Some of you are really overestimating what it takes to have a basic set up to play a completely normal rock show. Everything would be miced, guitarist wouldn't have their 6 cabs all lined up at a club. Roadies could load the stuff in early Friday or Thursday, takes like an hour to set up and get ready. No chance GNR goes acoustic first time back. Edited March 31, 2016 by Ak1nney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Nova Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 Well, this thread hasn't helped much...I'm just as lost as ever. I'm still about 50/50 split about whether this is really happening (mostly because of Billboard saying it could,) And if it is happening, I'm still split about 50/50 between the Troubadour and the Whisky. As a fan that can't be there either way, I'm paying way too much attention to this....lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Nova Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 Ok, I found the Girl Rock website. http://www.rockcampforgirlsla.org/ It's a rock camp for Girls. Nothing on their website says anything about having a showcase at the Troubadour this Friday. The only thing mentioned is a Lady Rock Showcase at the Satellite and it's Sunday, not Friday.

Alright I think you may be on to something here. Between this show being sold out, yet there being no evidence of it happening, as well as the whole (G)irl (R)ock thing (GNR? lol), this may be the best lead yet.
