Im going to the Wembley show on the 30th of the month. This is my first gig, so any tips ?

Don't try to take Axl's picture.

I'm going to try to go to the same show as you, but that's funds withstanding. That said, it's G&R, and I'd sell crack and fence stolen goods to get the cash.

[The Slickman]

Yeah, im taking money out of my savings for this. Ill keep my camera to myself dont worry.

[Darloboy]

I'm going to be up early to try to get tickets for the Newcastle gig tomorrow, if I manage to get them I think I'll need to change my underwear.

[K]

Where are the tickets on sale? I looked yesterday and nowhere was advertising it.

[GhostMachine]

Gotta say this: the group might as well be called The Axl Rose Band considering its just him and a bunch of musicians no one has ever heard of and most of the real G N R members are in Velvet Revolver.

Hope they put on a good show for everyone who goes and that Axl doesn't go nuts and cut the show short.

I guess I'm the only person on the planet that knows who Robin Finck is.

I guess I'm the only person on the planet that knows who Robin Finck is.

Finck, Brian Mantia, Tommy Stinson, list goes on. For whatever reason, Axl decided to nab admittedly obscure guys to be in the band (Buckethead notwithstanding.)

To be fair, though, I've been a Replacements/NIN/Primus fan for a while, so these guys were familiar.

[K]

So why can't I get tickets from See or Ticketmaster? They both tell me that there's a problem. But won't elaborate. AND I'm at work so I can't phone.

[K]

Phew. Got one. That was close. Seetickets and Ticketmaster sold out like... well guns n roses tickets.

I got one form some obscure ticket site in the end thats probably farming my debit card details as well speak.

And here I was thinking no-one would waste (and risk) an obscene amount of money on a well past his prime Axl and four nobodies. Guess I was wrong.

[K]

Wrong to the max home boy.

So.. who else is going?

Well, if that AOL concert was any indication, Axl's voice is still pretty darn strong. However, seeing as how he apparently got bitchslapped by some male fashion designer a while back, his image as a tough guy has pretty much been blown.

From everything I've read, that whole Hilfiger/Rose thing was blown way out or proportion. Tommy got slap-happy with Axl, and Axl just laughed it off before filing the police report.

All things aside, though, if a tour like this garners such support, just imagine how a tour with the original members (or at least Axl + Duff + Matt rejoined) would fare.

[Liam]

Yeah, but NIN are JUST Reznor, and always has been (with a rotating backing band...or maybe not even rotating, I dunno). Guns And Roses were a band, rather than just Axl and seemingly whoever he chooses to play with year by year as they are now.

[The Slickman]

Im in standing too Keith. Really looking forward to it.

If Axl is on hes outstanding, if not its a huge contrast to the Axl of the early 90s to now when not on he looks pathetic, saying that id still pay to see Axl in anyway. Guns N' Roses are my favourite band and I never thought I would ever get the chance to see any of them play at all but how wrong I was (hopefully).
