gina9 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Ok so I heard about this band coming to Sydney in June. But um...I'm overly reluctant to go fork out money to see them. I mean...I like Guns N' Roses songs very much...but I don't wanna hear them being played by a bunch of people who didn't even write them. If I wanna go see Gn'R songs played live, I only wanna hear them being played the way they are meant to, by the people that wrote them and layed them down on the albums. I Need some advice from people...if I don't like hearing these guys perform the Gn'R songs because they are not their songs, practically they are completely instrumentally covering them!! And that's a rip off to pay for a show mostly played like that.....am I right to say it's not worth me paying to go see them just to see Axl?I saw them last summer and really enjoyed it, others are right, it might be your only chance to see Axl on stage.

Son of A Gun....what Axl had no helping in writing those songs?????Where the fuck have you been? Hey lots of us miss the Duff/Slash/Izzy etc but there are many musicians who can play just as well.....no one and no one can sing the Gunners songs better than Axl. Just for the experience of listening to him I would have paid even more then the $170.00 I just forked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son Of A Gun Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 for $170 bucks that is a fuckin load of shit. I am not paying to see this band. What a fuckin ripp off!!!!! Maybe get Guns N' Roses back together and get them to play a real Gn'R show and fuck yeah I'll pay to see them. But this...this is a fuck around.

illusions Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 So what time will gnr go on, around midnight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mangas Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 to answer the question - i would go. a friend of mine had the chance to go to the 93 show at eastern creek and he didnt. hes regretted it ever since. even if its not gnr the way you want, or a lot of fans want, axl will still be there and given that this is most likely the last time they will play australia, i would go. at the very least if you decide not to, try and buy some tour merchandise so you've got something to remember the tour.as for ticket prices, i personally dont think its worth it for the new gnr but then they are playing small venues and no doubt its costing a bit to bring them out, so the promoter has to make profit on top of that. $170 for pre-sale, $150 regular, bit expensive but other artists have been over $200 for tickets up near the front. i still think gnr will still sell out. im not sure if they will add additional shows. there's definitely room in the tour schedule to book one or two additional shows, but a lot depends how fast the shows sellout.

Axl-rocks Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 So what time will gnr go on, around midnight?I think soshow starts at 8, so I am thinking rose tattoo will come out around 8.30-9.00pm/9.30pm, then sebastian bach will come out like 9.30/10pm-10.30/11pm, then GNR will come out around 12/1amand the show will finish like 2/3am in the morning.
