His tone hasn't been the same since 2001. He started turning down the gain after that and is way, way too clean these days.

It was still pretty much the same gain level through VR and the first few SMKC tours. After GnR reunion is when he started turning it down. I agree about it being too clean now though.

That's the thing - there's no tour announcement. 

That's one of the very best mic drops I've ever seen on here.

And while we discuss reunion/guitar sound/AFD... GNR IS promoting 40% discount on his shopping products... Because of course god help them promote a tour 🫠

Not even close to the same.

Listen to the outro solo here starting at 5:25:

Not to mention the long sustained bends in the first solo at 3:20.

Then listen to the solo here at 2:45:

 

Really clean, and really weak sounding as a result. And that's with much better audio quality than the Snakepit clip, to boot.

Slash used a lot of gain at the 2017 Detroit show I saw. Sounded good. I like the Jubilees and JCM800s the best with him.

I am glad that the band is finally coming to Serbia, for the first time since 2012, and for the first time in Belgrade since 2010.

One of the most legendary duos in the history of rock music Axl Rose and Slash, together on stage for the first time ever in Serbia!

Can someone summarize what has happened since the tour announcement? Haven’t had time to read the thread. 

The slogan on the leaked tour poster is from a 1985 flyer.

No official announcement of the tour yet, although some local promoters have started advertising their dates (I think it's not unusual for promoters to announce their local dates before the tour announcement from the artist).

The discount is for black friday, that would be happening regardless of the tour.

Those aren't good comparisons because he's using the bridge pickup and wah in the first clip and the neck pickup in the 2nd. 

Here's a better comparison from the same VR performance (3:38):

I understand what you're trying to say though. The biggest change has been after 2019 or so.

“Because what you want and what you get are two completely different things” is a quote from of the early club days fliers, correct?

Edit: yep.

It sounds like there's more gain in person. I thought the same thing about the 2021 Metlife show I saw, but recordings showed it to sound the same as usual, and a soundboard would be even more revealing.

Axl sounded better in person, too. I'm not sure what causes that effect.

I’ve seen Slash tons of times in and out of GnR, that show just stuck out at me as him playing with higher gain

As I said, with any other band, no. But this is just another thing in a long list of botched releases, announcements, nearly moments etc. how many times can they fuck every single thing up? How many times can we just pass it off as 'Lol it's GnR' before people just say this is insultingly bad.  No word or acknowledgment either from gnr.. as usual... first to charge extortionate prices, last to let anyone know. 

Yeah, I get that it can be perceived as another fuck up, but what I meant was more like, "Does it matter if venues report the show before the promoter?" Does it really matter if this isn't entirely synchronized? This is not aa huge promotional, global roll-out of something, like Tesla announcing a new model or something. IT is a dated rock band doing yet another tour. I don't think it hurts the sale anyway at all or means less publicity.

I did it with Mozilla and it says it expired on 11/25/2012

That was the intended release date for CD3!! Axl must have had the site to self destruct on the day...

The number of unforeseen things with this band is foreseeably high.
Too damn high!

You'd assume the band would want to lead on it. like every other band does. The question is how come all the venues, websites promoters can have it ready but GnR can't? what is the common denominator? Does it make you expect a good service down the line? of course not. even if you didn't know the bands history, this would be a red flag against purchasing. I've seen drug deals go down smoother than nightrain transactions

Has anyone from here been in the Vienna, IT show, 2022?
How much were the standing tickets?

All the venues/promoters have to take care of 1 date, theirs. GNR have to take care of all the dates. I'd imagine there are many moving parts behind the scenes. And they want to announce, once everything is lined up. Maybe there is another date coming, maybe 1 or 2 dates will be moved. Could be many issues. The main fuck up is, that some clown put the dates on a website that is accessible from the outside and that individual promoters were not told to keep their mouths shut until they get the getgo from GNR. We would not have an idea of what is going on, if that wouldn't have happened. And lets not act like all their tour announcements have been like that. This is the first time a major blunder happened.

Actually, it is a bit unusual.

Not much, but you had to pay in Viennetta.

No one was there as Vienna was the capital of Austria that year. 

The city has only moved to Italy for the 2025 tour dates.

I agree with all that, I just don't see it as a problem if venues go out before the band, or if it doesn't happen simultaneously. Maybe even the band doesn't see it as a problem and decided to spend a few more days making sure they are ready (like fixing the poster for obvious mistakes :)).

I don't think 99.999% of people that could potentially be interested in attending a GN'R show would care, or even know, that venues and the band weren't synchronized on going public at the tour, and it won't affect their decision-making process the slightest. Again, this just seems like us fans making a storm in a teacup, again, over something entirely non-consequential.
