Meatpants

Got 4 in Section 214 at the Allstate, $175 total

Oh well, I'm happy. Last time I saw them, Smashing Pumpkins opened for them at the (then) Rosemont Horizon

GuessWho

I WAS AT THE SAME SHOW!!!!! PUMPKINS WERE PISSED!

I'll be in Section 211 at Allstate

I wonder if Axl will be an a-hole like in the past and not come onstage until 2 in the morning. Nothing like a 6 hour gap between when the opener goes off and the headliner goes on.

I saw that GNR show with the Pumpkins opening too. I remember vividly people screaming at them, "You suck!". If this really were Guns N' Roses, then I might bother, but it ain't. It's the Axl Rose project. Change the damn name of the band or make good with Slash, Izzy, and Duff. Those were the days, my friends.

Flashback

I just checked the tickets for the Chicago show - there were a few pairs on the floor around 20 rows or so back. Seems like there are a lot of lower level seats but towards the back half.

Go by yourself or buy a single ticket there was 5th row in the 1st section on the side. - excellent seat.

Meatpants, Scorpio.... I have a VHS of that Rosemont show we were all at It's the feed from what was shown on the screens -- last song or two is missing, but Ahhh, memories.

El Talon Del Monstruo

Fleet Center - Balcony Seats only

I don't get it. Why would people want to see Guns N Roses? This isn't 1988 after all. I'm definitely not picking on the people that are going, it's just really really surprising to me. I can see people that liked Grateful Dead or Rolling Stones or whatever, but does Guns n Roses carry enough from a decade ago to fill Madison Square Garden? Apparently so.

TaTTooD

i was at that one too. gotta love the between the sets show we all got on the big screen


i would have gotten tickets for this show but i'll be in seattle during that time

Scorpio

GuessWho, me thinks you need to dub me a copy of that there tape. You have the women flashing on there too?

GuessWho

Because Welcome to the Jungle is a good song.
Because Paradise City is a good song.
Because Mr Bownstone is a good song.

Etc etc etc.

And I want to hear them. Live.


They're good songs. Period. Why would the passage of a "decade" change that?

GuessWho

Me thinks those of you who want a copy can buy me a 2nd VCR to do so

And no, doesn't have the flashing. Tape begins with GNR's intro ramp muisc "My Way". It's 2.5 hours long and I think Paradise City and 1 other was cutoff at the end (move to the city? mama kin?).

I'm not attacking you at all. It's just surprising to me.

I'm surprised they can get such a big response with such a radically different line-up. Lots of 80's rock acts are putting on big tours, but they're all reunions of original members.
