OT- Guns n Roses at XL

[GemParty]

Anybody going Oct 23? Have you seen them on this 30th Anniversary tour elsewhere? My friends bought us tickets yesterday with a Citibank customer Presale. Looking forward to it.

Make sure to stand up and shake your keys when welcome to the jungle comes on.

Should be at Gampel.

Saw them a couple times on the Chinese Democracy tour. His voice gave out in the middle of the second one and he couldn't even try to hit the high notes. It was sort of amusing, actually.

I'm going November 18 in Sacramento! Last time I saw them was 1991 or 1992 in Reno. They put on an awesome show then and I've heard they are still great on this tour.

I saw the cheapest seats were $200 in am article. To sit up in heaven at XL that is crazy.

Yeah $200 is crazy
BUT I sat in the next to last row for Pearl Jam and the acoustics and sound were clearer than lower - so sometimes it does have some benefits but $200 worth? not sure

They'd probably knock the tiles down

The Apollo show got a great review here.

Paid $162 which included $25 in fees each. Hoping 205 L is a gentle angle to stage.

I saw them last summer here in DC. It was hands down the best concert I have ever seen. When Axl first stared singing I was sure it was lip synch. There was NO WAY anyone could sing live like that and keep it up for 2.5 hours. Eventually it was evident it was 100% his live voice. He was running around the stage the entire time. Crowd was going nuts! Slash and everyone else were amazing as well. Its worth the money, trust me!

Saw them at foxboro last July. Great show highly recommend. They were pretty much on time , didn't Make you wait long, which any g n r knows they never were back in the day. Not much talking to the crowd from axl pretty much just sang the songs.

Saw them foxboro year ago. Great show you won't be disappointed. I think the closed smaller venue In Hartford will be better than the open football stadiums they are doing.

Also Sirius is running a g n r Channel #41. For limited time.

This may be one of the best posts ever

Guns N' Roses: Appetite for Destruction Album Review | Pitchfork

The pitchfork review for the 30th year is a really good review. Got me listening to that album again the other day. I was one of those kids who bought it in the nineties. 147 weeks on the Billboard 200 is insane for a debut album.

The bridge of Night Train....so good.

I've been bing listening to their albums on my iPod.

Got tickets a month ago to MSG on Oct 11th. Can't wait. Got them for $135, middle bowl section through Citi pass.

10 am sale on now or use the secondary market.

Saw them last summer at MetLife. Slash and Duff were awesome. Axl hits about 50% of the tough notes, but was fine. I find him a bit creepy and it seemed clear to me that he and the band tolerate each other rather than being really tight. It was one of the longest shows I've been to (and I've seen Springsteen a dozen times). Prepare for a loooong night.

From a non-huge fan, I thought it was totally worth going. Tailgate scene was great also.

Is there a chance the roof would collapse on them? Because I'd be for that.

Couple more things I remember from last year foxboro show

Axy voice Still good but not the same
Izzy and Steven adler are def missed
Surprised at the amount of Chinese democracy songs they performed.

Hartford: Paradise City??

Who's in the band now--a-days?

 

[huskyinfl]

Saw them at.civic center in 04 when they did a few shows and cancelled the tour. Even though it was the Buckethead era it was decent.

 

[B1GEast]

That band hasn't aged well, they make the Rolling Stones look like teenagers

 

[uconnad]

Want to hit Axel in the face- he will come on hours late like last time in Hartford
