GnR

[jetboy]

Guns 'n Roses are coming. Who's going to the concert?

[The Pastor]

I am, sam I am.

[RC1]

seen them twice before , not paying big bucks to see only 1 original band member(axle) support bands will probably be better imho

[Flatcap]

Guns 'n Roses are coming. Who's going to the concert?

No they are not, only Axel Rose is.

[Maha]

No they are not, only Axel Rose is.


Thank you for clearing that up...three of the original line are doing other shit, at least Axel is there....would be a shit concert without his voice, any muso can slot in where the holes are. Wouldnt mind seeing Seb Bach either, quit enjoy Skid Row so having part of the group here is better than not at all..:Punk:

Yeah might go i think!

[jetboy]

No they are not, only Axel Rose is.
yeah fair enough - but still...the music is good and as maha man said it would be shit without Axl's voice.

what a fuckin crock of shit.

G'N'R are nothing without Slash and it's insulting that they are being marketed in that way when they are a bunch of hired hands playing someone elses music.

You'd be better off spending your money on piss and going to see a fuckin covers or tribute band.

[Chisanga]

I heard at a recent concert which I believe was in Europe somewhere, Axel was up to his old tricks and kept the crowd waiting for almost 3 hours. Came onto boos and half the crowd left. Maybe that shit worked in the 90's but people don't want that crap now.

I saw them and Skid Row at Mt Smart (was a bout 5 metres from the stage) and it was pretty damn good. Don't want to pollute that memory

No mistaking the GnR sound....saw 17 yr old 10 years ago playing the 'Sweet Child' opening Riff....slash aint the be all and end all of guitar players...any 'hired hand' do what he did....all they will need is a top hat and smoke hanging out their mouth....job done
I know what you are saying tho'....But as Gene Simmons once said..'' if sounds like KISS, then it is KISS''....

[The_Dover]

that's a crock of fucking shit.

I can play damn near 75% of the G'N'R catalogue on my Gibson Les Paul thru my Marshall Half Stack (which I sold when I moved to NZ) but I'd be fucked if it sounds like Slash.

There's more to it than bashing out the notes and if you just want to hear the sounds then listen to the records.

Live shows are about improvisation and chemistry. If you think a bunch of monkeys on a fat ginger has been's payroll are gonna sound anything like Guns'N'Roses then you should go and puncture your ear drums with Mom's knitting needles right now.

[Pumba]

what a fuckin crock of shit.

Couldent say it any better myself.

And remember that it is the chinese democracy (sp?) world tour so I recon they will be sweet bugger all of the original Gunners classics, just new shit that axle has writen in the last few years.

Wot he said...

[The Pastor]

dizzy is also coming. And the rest are pretty good.

[The_Dover]

you mean the fat smack-head that sometimes played keyboards?

wow, he'll complete the experience.

[Qkchk]

2007 seems to be the year of the comebacks. The Police, GNR, Spice Girls and a couple of other high-profile (cant remember who else) groups are trying to making a bit of dosh in their retirement years.

Kind of wonder if all the hype is worth it - Look at the Chilli's, alot of hype and bitching cause you couldn't get a ticket and in the end alot of people thought their concert was mediocre. I went and saw Eric Clapton down in Hastings earlier this year, same thing - all hype and expectancy and in the end disappointment......(well at least we had the capacity for EC not like Vector)

[jetboy]

I'm goin for the music really. Yeah Axl is the only original member but, being a young whippersnapper unlike some of you, I havent yet been to a GnR concert yet so really there is no expectation from me. I just wanna hear some rock man :rockon:

[ajturbo]

i hope to take luke along to it...

i recon it will be fun...
and if it is shit... at least i will be taking Buellbabe for tea on the saturday....:Punk:

[Big Dan]

Not sure if you are aware but listening to the rock yesterday GA tickets are been sold at $150 where as the sitting in temp seating is from $99 i'd only pay top dollar like this for a band i was sure to give a great show ie: U2 25 years not 1 band memeber has left or joined the band shows staying power and GnR how long have we waited for this new album i lost track dont get me wrong i love there music as a mate told me the other day November Rain without slashs solo get off the grass guys i've even heard rumours that the GnR tour of NZ and AUS could be cancelled my advice before you start shelling out big bucks which you could save for gas for the bike or contribute towards new tyres make sure everything is confirmed first

[The Pastor]

tickets go on sale today :D I wonder if it will sell out?

[Big Dan]

only when my bike doesnt work (all the time :angry: ).


Tickets are on sale for people with some password, I think its for like radio stations and media etc.


could be pre-sales but there is no point as i said the concert has been cancelled indefinetly don't you guys and gals read or listen to the news

[Krusti]

When I read the title about a GnR, I was looking forward to seeing the specs on a racing GN! :yes:

[Big Dan]

i retrack what i said about it been cancelled sorry all

[avgas]

Chinese Dem.........
^^this line has been terminated as it contains imaginary things^^

[jetboy]

[The Pastor]

[Virago]

Na, that would be GnXR :Punk:

[Whynot]

first concert sold out .... second date announced

http://stuff.co.nz/4043345a1860.html

Still don't know whether i would go and see GnR in their current state, They "were" such a good band and i would hate to go and see a half-arsed concert.

[cynna]

just go see blood duster and meatyard the week befoere

[ajturbo]

got mine and luke's for the saturday one!:Punk:

[James Deuce]

Would've liked to have seen them 20 years ago when they were fuelled by drugs and chicks.

Not really GnR any more. Just a fat ginga with dreads and an attitude problem.

My sentiments exactly.
I wouldn't waste my money seeing them in concert now... possibly not then either... Axl isn't a very good live singer from what I have seen.
I like the studio stuff though.

[Curious_AJ]

i think $100 is a bit much for the tickets... but then i guess its one of those "once in a life time things"

im stil not going though, i cant afford to use up my money on concerts :(

[The Pastor]

its 150 for GA, 100 is for seats.

[Smorg]

I didnt realise it was only Axel coming I knew Slash wasnt so I was second guessing buying a ticket but now I dont think I'll get one, yes you need axels voice but you also need Slash.

[SlashWylde]

what a fuckin crock of shit.

G'N'R are nothing without Slash and it's insulting that they are being marketed in that way when they are a bunch of hired hands playing someone elses music.

I can't beleive I'm actually saying this, but I aggree with Dover on this point.

It aint Guns 'n Roses. GnR as a band folded in the mid '90s. The band would do better to be called "The Axl Rose Big Band" playing your favourite GnR covers...and a smattering of new material...from an album that hasn't been released yet...even though the 'band' is touring on the back of that albums name (Chinese Democracy).

:no: So sad Axl...what happened?

[SlashWylde]

So you folks are gonna be hearing three new songs and covers of 18 classics as played by Axl and his backing band. What a scam. Axl Rose used to be my favourite rock singer, now he's just a washed-up has-been trying to cash in on his former glory. What's worse is people seem to be lapping it up. Every day on The Rock the DJ's lapse into orgasmic fits of joy when they start talking about the upcoming 'Guns n Roses' concert.

Listen folks, the man hasn't released an album of new material in sixteen years! Yet all his former band mates (Slash, Duff, Matt and Izzy) have gone on to release multiple solo and collaborative albums featuring some of the best rock writing of the last decade. Even old Steven Adler is out there doing his thing.

$150 dollars to go hear a bunch of covers? I'd rather go see the local house band down at the pub.

Righto, rant over.

[The Pastor]

still will be epic.

[Cajun]

Okay me, motogirl, sister in law are coming up for the friday concert,

[Cajun]
