Blessed are those that hear the show yet were not there for the show.
They will join the cloud of great witness.
The first will become last. The last will become first.
Our Axl,
Who art fresh from rehearsal and soundcheck,
Keeper of the hallowed name
The Jungle be welcomed
Paradise City be done
With old classics
And new favorites in between
Give us this day thy awesome Slash
And forgive us our recording devices
As we forgive those who post false threads
Lead us not into destruction
And deliver us from Mr. Brownstown
For thine is the Chinese sequel
and the rasp
and the bicycle shorts
forever and ever
amen.
Post of the Millennium
Let us pray

Of the 160 tix sold, I would guess at most 50 are hard core fans.. The rest are hipsters or just there because they were told it was history... It is kind of shitty how we were mind fucked on Vegas being the first gig... Oh well.
Some of what you said was originally correct. Had they just started with this announcement, and no tour, no media, they would've still had some press, and got real fans there.
BUT
It wouldn't have been as lucrative financially. Not just about screwing their fans, but the long-term viability of the band.

Man.. that lineup of people are not real fans. Can't be. Something seems kinda fake about all of them. Maybe it's an LA thing.

So how is anyone gonna know what happens without proof?

A good hacker could hack into the Troubadour security cameras....
This chick is a diehard GN'R fan then.

I said "yes", because I know how much this means to Steven, but for the most part -- I don't want Steven past an occasional special guest star.
To me Frank Ferrer is the definitive GN'R drummer, and has been there the longest of them all (2006-present). I hope it stays that way.

I haven't posted in weeks, I waited for tonight.
Tonight's the night guys. I can't believe it. July 17th, 1993... that date ends -- TONIGHT!
Feels surreal.

The thing is, money-wise for them -- it doesn't matter. It's low-risk, in some ways. Scalpers and the media will so over-hype this thing that as soon as April 8th hits (more likely April 4th with Nightrain pre-sale), scalpers are gonna buy it all, like James said. Ticketmaster will do the scalping most likely, and throw everything up on StubHub at a 400% markup.
Most shows will sell out instantly because of it, so even if it's 1/3 full, the show will be sold out, and if anyone takes it in the ass it'll be Irving Azoff, not GN'R. GN'R is gonna make their face value money regardless.
Gotta love uncle Axl. I need to send him a nice Stetson for his business meetings. Haha.
