Sounds like GNR, market a show as the first time Axl and Slash have been together on stage in two decades, your fans pay thousands to go rather than wait for the inevitable global tour so as to feel the excitement of the first time , many traveling from overseas for thousands of bucks, and then you play a secret show before hand.

I love the music but this band literally has no respect for it's fanbase at all.

I disagree. Holding secret shows isn't disrespectful. It's basically a rehearsal and helps create extra buzz.

GNR has a loooooooooong track record of doing shows before any tour starts. No one should be surprised about any potential shows beforehand. Its par for the course.

I didn't consider Soundgarden's secret show disrespectful and I wont consider GNR's to be either.

People paid THOUSANDS....

Rock N Rio wasn't a reunion. This is 23 fucking years and the first time they were supposed to be together is April 8. You can't spin it any other way. It is bullshit. They don't need to rehearse for a crowd. They are all over 50, not 15. Show up like a badass and own it in Vegas. Vegas sold out fast as fuck cause it was to be the first show. PERIOD.

Jim Breuer should be the full in. Axl can do Bon songs but can't do full on Brian Johnson I don't believe.
