I am trying to find a envious emoji.😫 🥹 I guess those emojis will have to do. 😏 It was quite an experience. The 2006 show especially i saw was probably the best gig to this day i have ever seen. I wish I had bootlegged the show, the setlist alone was immense. Axl sounded insane. Izzy was there too. Got Better, The Blues, IRS, Madagascar all before they were released, they also played Out Ta Get Me and Think About You. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAxlMorrison Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Like Amir, I was at the AC 2012 show. And yes they didn’t come on til midnight ish, but it was the perfect set list for that time, place, and version of the band. They rocked it til close to 3:30 AM, and the crowds energy never waned. The amount of folks singing along to the “new” songs was great too. Still my favorite, and I’ve seen them quite a few times since 2016. Closest show in quality was AC, again, in 2021. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GivenToFly Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Yes, but I was young and fit and hadn't seen them a million times before (and in 2010 the performances were phenomenal). Nowadays? It probably wouldn't be worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karice Posted November 4, 2023 Author Share Posted November 4, 2023 (edited) So, Axl sings in Mr. Brownstone,"Show starts around 7, we get on stage around 9." I being an even newer Fan at the time I first heard Mr. Brownstone was like,"Is Axl implying that Guns N'Roses show up around TWO HOURS LATE? 😱😳🤨😐😮🥶😬WTF? 😱😳 🤨😐😮🥶😬I didn't know what was in store for me with how late the Gun Brothers and their Rose Brother were when it comes to live shows! 🤣😜😏 The updated Mr. Brownstone lyrics should be,"Show starts around 7, we get on stage around 10." 😏😜🤣 Edited November 4, 2023 by Karice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karice Posted November 4, 2023 Author Share Posted November 4, 2023 (edited) About Axl coming three hours late to shows, at least one Fan questioned why the Venues didn't just say something like,"Show starts at 9 PM, Guns N'Roses will most likely go on stage at 12AM, show will most likely end at 3 AM. " 🤔 Edited November 4, 2023 by Karice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fan I mentioned was possibly a newer fan who didn't know about Axl's chronic tardiness and was expecting a Guns N'Roses Show to start around the advertised time and was dismayed he had been waiting about 3 hours. I wonder exactly what keeps the crowd entertained for roughly 3 hours before Axl shows up on stage. That's roughly the same time as the Titanic movie. What is the crowd doing for roughly 3 hours? Are they listening to like 30 different Opening Acts? 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powderfinger Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 GnR were almost 2hrs30m late when I saw them in 92 it was my first big gig so I didn’t know it wasn’t the norm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometime's a fan would kick off and make a scene threatening to leave and trying to convince others to do so as well, but everyone would just glare at them and call them a knobhead until they sat down . One time in 2010 while waiting for them to come on i saw a couple having sex against the railings of the seated section. We all cheered them on... so that took up some time. Apart from that you would just talk to random people "What forum are you on? what's your username? Do you have The General? Those sorts of things. Just to pass the time you know? Then we'd all do cocaine so we could drink even more... good time's. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 They started around 10:00 when I saw them in 2010 and I thought wow, he's early! I saw 4 of the Vegas residency shows between 2012-14 and I don't think they ever hit the stage before midnight. The 2014 shows might've been close to midnight though. The shows were always worth it.

Cosmo Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 In 2010, I remember he was a bit late to my show. But I was REALLY pissed at RIR 2011 cause Axl showed up like more than 2h late, it was raining like hell, cold as fuck and, if I'm not mistaken, it was a Sunday. When I got home, after the show, the sun was almost rising. And it was that god awful show. When I saw them in 2014, I don't remember them being too late. Haven't seen 'em live since then. I'd be pissed as hell to wait more than an hour nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svdv Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 I remember waiting for 3 hours in Spain but we got Izzy and some rare songs. I was also rushing from Yellowstone to Las Vegas to make it in time for the concert. I was there in time: gnr? Late lol. But when they started we got yesterdays for the first time since ‘93 and prostitute i also remember that in Belgium, I think 2012, they started 30 minutes EARLY. that show was shit 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys were allowed to do Cocaine at Guns N'Roses Show? 😱😳 What you answered all seems like a wild time and a wild way to pass the time before Axl and the Guns went on stage. The couple "Dancing," against the railings is just .. 😳😱 I just assumed the audience was just sitting there politely listening to like 30 Opening Acts until Axl and the Guns go on stage. Your post seems like a true rock and roll vibe, very thrilling and entertaining , much more entertaining and thrilling than politely listening to like 30 Opening Acts. 🤭 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
