Hopefully fans mature some this tour

[younggunner]

call it ARB instead of gnr and you won't expect to see slash there

Thats so lame Mike cmon. Any1 going to a new gnr show, especially now coming up knows the band situation. If they are just going to hear some classics fine thas cool but otherwise this tour and band is about the enw band...I presume atleast on this next tour.

any1 who goes to the shows knows this. Its not old gnr. So if you wanna know where Slash is or hear him theres a band called VR. Actually Slash and VR would be better off because they can then move up in life and play arenas with their chart topping, grammy winning, cross over singles and album....

I was watching a Bon Jovi concert on IN Demand and Jon said how they feed off the crowd, that he can tell the moment the house lights go down if the show is gonna be great or not based on the crowd's reaction. He said the more the crowd gives, the more he is able to give and its a great interaction back and forth. If the crowd isnt energetic, it makes it hard for him to be energetic.

So GNR fans should remember this. If the fans react great, they will get a great show from Axl.

If they are shouting for Slash and not clapping and standing, u probably wont get that great of a show.

Only if they?re touring with an album. If they are playing UYI and AFD material only, there?s no way Slash won?t be missed by many. 95% of the audience is going to go ??just to hear some classics??.

Most people I know still think Guns disbanded after TSI, and I don?t see that changing unless Chinese Democracy is released.

I have to agree, although the last time I saw them live was at Wembley in 91 or 92, cant remember, anyway me and my mates got to the stadium at about 10am, the concert was not due to start until 4.30, and we were just going to drink outside until the gates opened.

About 1/2 hour before the gates were opened some dickhead threw a litre bottle of Martini in the air and this came down on the side of my head leaving a gaping wound and blood pouring out, luckily I had a bandana and my mates helped me to tie it tight and soak up the blood until I could get inside the stadium and see first aid, anyway once inside I got taken to the hospital they have inside the stadium and have to have 12 stiches without anesthetic as I had been drinking.

I dont remember too much about the show as I was severley concussed, I would just like to say thank to the dickhead that ruined my day!

Just a little rant

But really i hope if GNR tour US this year the fans will stop all the FUCK YOU, GO HOME, YOU FUCKIN SUCK, WHERE'S SLASH,  all of that bullshit, im sure other fans dont want to hear it and neither GNR.

was that a rant?

anywho, idiots will always be everywhere, just try to ignore them or if it gets too bad, punch them in the mouth.

[oldgunsfan]

Well, let's hope the same for AXL and he matures a bit this tour. 

Rather than making fans wait 1-2 hours for him the band to come on stage, or blowing off the show entirely.

Make people wait, piss people off, what do you expect.

Ever hear this phrase "For every action, there's a reaction"

For the price of concert tickets, parking at the venue, merchandise and refreshments.....for the "priveledge" pf seeing him play, it's the least he can do

All I know is if you did a walk around manhattan asking people at random who was in gnr right now or what are their newest songs you'd be lucky to find one out of ten giving you answers

I was watching a Bon Jovi concert on IN Demand and Jon said how they feed off the crowd, that he can tell the moment the house lights go down if the show is gonna be great or not based on the crowd's reaction. He said the more the crowd gives, the more he is able to give and its a great interaction back and forth. If the crowd isnt energetic, it makes it hard for him to be energetic.

but the guys in bon jovi are the same guys that did farneheit,  slippery when wet, new jersey, these aren't the same guys and it's still called gnr and it's supposed to be almost like a comeback

Hopefully axl introduces his new band to the public outside of just showing up to a show..

Hopefully there won't be any cancellations of concerts. Or a completely cancelled tour again. Although I don't know exactly what happened behind the scenes, the cancellation of a tour was very immature. Be it Axl's fault or someone else's in the higher ups.

My point there was the fact that Bon Jovi are nice guys, so if the crowd effects the way they play, u can imagine how it effects someone like Axl.

hahahaha ummmmmm ok

[oldgunsfan]

after 2 opeining acts and waiting for 1-2 hours for a band to come on, sometimes it's dificult to be real energetic as you spend alot of energy waiting and in anticipation

[Eazy E]

I know I'll get shit from the younger fans, but I want 21+ shows. I tend to find that there are more idiot teenagers that like to ruin shit than idiot adults - not saying that there aren't any of those, either...
Maybe not EVERY stop, but in big cities, I would love to see them play a smaller venue 2 nights, one all ages and one 21+... I know it won't happen, blah, blah, don't flame me

It's more likely that the younger crowd aren't as attached to the old lineup and are open to seeing the new band.  I think most of the people that went to the 2002 concerts were teenagers and early 20's... I think it's the older people that can't get over the fact that Slash is gone who yell shit.

That's true. having said that hopefully Axl matures as well and decides to show up for all the shows.

[strohs]

Im sorry to bump my on thread, but whatever.

Im also sorry about the joke with the riot, I didnt know so many people would get offensive.

But about my post, I just think people should relize who is in the band and if they dont know by now then to ME they aren't a GNR fan.

Maybe I should shutup so I will.

[gunner mad]

I saw two 2002 shows and heard no heckling - were these Fuck You chants at european festivals where the audience weren't neccessarily there for GNR?

i was at the leeds festival and all day i thought as soon as GN'R hit the stage they're gonna get booed or sumit cos there was a lot of kids there (slip knot fans) and other bands had been slaggin axl off(offspring and sum other i can't remember) i could see it being that bad that axl would do a strop and walk off but when they came on it was like eveybody and some had come just to watch them it was fuckin amazing especially when they did november rain and i looked around to see all these kids holding up their lighters or their bongs fucking great

[F*ck Fear]

When Guns played Toronto in 2002 I didn't hear one bad comment.
The way I want people to grow up,is no fucking riots,just go home.
