I feel like this is going to be a very special show. They haven't been to Greece since what, like 2006, and that wasn't even real GNR. Plus it's the last show of this leg and there's no curfew. It's gonna be something for the fans (doubt any new songs though)

Second this.

I think we 're gonna have a special setlist.

Fun fact , GNR played in Athens 2 times , 1993 and 2006. Izzy was not in the band .

Both times he showed up and played.  :ph34r:


**Of course it's not gonna happen, but it is a fact indeed. :lol:

Didn't know that. I will cry if it happens!

Seeing @thetiesthatbind profile pic, nostalgia hit hard!

I have to post some photos back from 2006 and the greek forum we had back then (gunsnroses.gr).

It was the last time I saw the band, the last time I saw uncle Ax live. I really can't wait for Saturday.

After all, "it's all greek to us!"

Malakassa Park (Rockwave Festival). No clue about attendance as I wasn’t there, probably nick will answer that. 
 

It’s in the forest which makes it extremely dangerous to perform specially for large crowds cause you’re in Greece and wildfires can happen anywhere

They played in Rockwave Festival back then, which was taking place in Malakasa.

It's a place deep in the forest, so it's really good for concerts this time of the year.

FYI:

In 2006, GNR was Stones's opening act for a few selected european concerts, but Keith Richards had an injury and shows got cancelled.

So the band had some dates available and that's why Greece and Turkey got to see them.

Although the announcements were made just two weeks before the show, we had ~18.000 people. Not bad at all!

* I'm not sure if this was Frank's first show with the band, after Brain's departure (he played in Download Festival).

If Fortus posted it, it's not official. He posts fanmade ones every time.

:lol: Yes, it's a funny thing him posting these every single time. Most of the posters are very alike as well, all in the same style. They're not my cup of tea. Who knows, maybe Fernando will let this Hard Skool make an official design one time.
