I was trying to pick up tickets last night last minute...the Missus said she would go, but that wasn't the vibe I was getting. I ended up striking out anyway.
Today looks like the end of the world out there. I hope it settles later this evening.
we have a 4 year old girl so.. its tough to get out and also tough to justify spending the cash for a second night.
I'm going to have to talk her into a weekend in san diego or something in august..
I'm north of Summerlin (lone mtn area) getting hail and reports of flash floods. The desert rats here don't know how to drive in this weather.. and the fact that we get so little of it..
Probably just going to hope someone does a good live stream.

Honestly? Probably money. These guys are making a boatload of cash and so this is part of Slash extending an olive branch to Axl in order to do this tour and at the same time help give some legitamacy to that era of GnR, as well as adding his own stamp to it.
I think it would be great if they re-released Better and Chinese. They don't need to go overboard and redo that whole album. But those two songs could be included in a greatest hits package.
I'm referring to VR tracks.
He doesn't at least play Slither?

VR, Snakepit and solo materials are... Well, VR, Snakepit and solo materials
At this point, I don't see the distinction. Other than a label slapped on the groupings, I take the material of this triumvirate as a whole and hope it is all not only fair game but embraced as wide catalog.
Axl's vox on VR/Snakepit songs are 'new G&R' songs to me.
I agree with Otto, the CD songs are part of the Guns N' Roses catalogue, although some would rather they not be.
That said, I have no problem if they want to perform a Slash/Duff or VR song. I doubt they do.. but no problems with it here. Most of the VR songs, I couldn't see working for Axl.. it would be like Axl trying to cover an STP song.. but who knows.

It is amazing how the presence of Slash and Duff takes the weight of the band's name/legacy off Axl's shoulders.
Above any other reason, it is why he needed them all this time.
I still have dreams of some alternate reality where CD is released c.2001-2003 with stripped down songs featuring Robin and Bucket and CD 2 coming out a few years later.. and then Slash and Duff come back a few years after..
But alas it was not meant to be.
Its a shame it took until 2016 when these guys are in their 50s, but finally I think all of the GnR fanbase has something here they can support and be excited about.

Starting at 37 minutes, TWAT was soundchecked.
I have a feeling that solos were done by Richard here.. because Slash isn't really staying true to the original solos in the other CD songs. And it sounds more like Richard's tone
I admit, I have a huge attachement to some of those solos.. TIL just wasn't working for me. And as much as I love Robin and Bucket's solos in Better, I am digging this new version too.

So, it was passable, then?
Coma, that's a left-fielder.
Coma was amazing.. from Slash and the band, to Axl's vocals. One of the highlights for sure. So surreal.

My only complaint - I was so excited to see This I Love.. but really Robin's solo really fit that song. I always had visions of Slash putting a better solo down in the song(and maybe he did back in the 90s), and I just re-watched the solo from tonight and really think it would be better to stay closer to how Robin did it.
Glad I'm not the only one. Perhaps my only disappointment.
Yea it wasn't so much that it was bad.. it just didn't really fit the song as well as Robin's. I guess I always had a picture of Slash playing that solo somewhat faithful to how it was recorded but adding his own spin to it.. now its completely different and I'm not sure it fits.
But what he does in CD and Better, I'd like to see the band re-record those 2 songs this way Make em their own.
