anyone who has no idea that slash is not in the band and is going to the show is there strictly for the fun of seeing a concert and hearing the songs they know.

they are the ones that will go out of convenience and/or impulse.

they are not followers of the band of any era

therefore

some will not notice that slash is not in the band (younger fans or older fans that just listened to the music and nothing more)

others will notice and there initial response will be "where's slash" (older fans who are there for nostalgia that have lost touch with current events with gnr due the time consuming realities of "growing up"

of those two groups the majority will get over it and even more if not all will enjoy the show.

its not a perception

i said "if"

if they are not reading the reviews then its not a concern that this negative part is in them

"if" they are then they'll be prepared if they go.

to address your point:

certainly some people are reading the reviews when considering going with all of the mishaps this band has had while touring over the years.

if the reviews are all mentioning the tardiness then the people that are reading them will atleast not be surprised

we need a section dedicated strictly to negativity towards gnr.

then the small handful of people that feel the need to spoil all the fun when something positive happens could go there instead of continuously hijacking and ruining perfectly good threads.

buzz, you could write your "objective" and "non emotional" review of the show you didnt watch in the orlando thread of this section.

and axlin, you and your tears of joy will need to keep your ball sack licking fan boy self out of this section and carry on with your coming to jesus here.

by the way, axlin all the vids ive seen support your review of the show imo.
