Can we get a vbookie bet about whether or not the whole show gets performed?

[C&CDean]

Since momma ain't selling hot dogs and cokes anymore, I could see myself going if indeed they are in.

[yermom]

i think i have to try to see this. "try" being the word because either me or Axl may or may not be there.

[saucysoonergal]

It will start at least two hours late, consist of about 4 or 5 songs and then they will leave. It ain't the same without Slash!

[Boomer.....]

Out!

[starclassic tama]

hahaha why would anyone go to this

[King Crimson]

i've seen axl suck once already 20 years ago, why pay for it now? at least maybe he won't wear the spandex biker shorts this time....at 40 whatever.

i never thought i would say this, but Skid Row kicked G'N'R off the stage.....two hours later.

anyone familiar with the duration of this SO will know my opinion on hair metal.

[Petro-Sooner]

Show usually starts around 7. He'll go on stage around 9

[Viking Kitten]

So you think they'll get on the bus around 11, sip a drink and feel fine?

[Petro-Sooner]

If all goes to plan!

[King Crimson]

he don't worry about nothing, because worrying is a waste of his time.

it's really just Bo Diddley beat that has the proto Paradise City change in it (really, i just heard that now...check it). prolly my fave from them, though. minus the lame "yowza" thing at the end. groan.

i'd rather chew off my own face than listen to Use Your Illusion. November Rain=crap. maybe Izzy Stradlin was the genius. his solo LP was pretty good. Juju Hounds. you hear a lot of exile and keith on that one. shuffle it all.

[OklaPony]

Somehow I just can't make myself get excited over this... think I'll pass.

[Boomer_Sooner_sax]

Got my tickets to this train wreck in Houston! Hell yeah baby!

[Taxman71]

Tix on sale today: $47.50-GA/$67.50-Reserved-Floor/$90 VIP.

Uhh, no.

[GDC]

GNR, Metallica, and Faith No More back in 92 still is one of the all time great tours, even if Metallica had already sold out with the black album.

[IndySooner]

Got my tickets. Don't care if it's only a fraction of the original band, it's still the best band of the '90's.

[Mississippi Sooner]

For those wondering if this show would be worth seeing...well, here's a hint:


Axl Rose isn't looking anything like the lithe rock star he was at the height of his fame. When Guns N' Roses played at the Rock in Rio festival in Brazil this week, the 49-year-old sole original member cut a figure that was a far cry from the lean and mean body that made him a hard rock pin-up in the late '80s.

Garbed in a bulging yellow raincoat, Rose obscured his puffy face with sunglasses and a black hat. In response to an inquiry about his apparent weight gain, a rep for Rose said: "You are the first to mention this. If anything, it might be his time off from touring."

After coming onstage two hours late, the tardy Rose voiced his concerns to the audience about prancing around a rain-soaked stage, thereby excusing himself from too much physical exertion. "I'm going to try to focus on singing rather than running around like an idiot. I'm better at being an idiot. We want everybody to be careful." Contrary to his stated goal, Rose struggled to keep time with his backing band even more than he struggled to move around the stage. Although the singer treated fans to a variety of G 'N R classics, a lot of fans left the concert likely feeling stymied, having waited two hours in the rain just to watch Axl Rose turn in a slovenly performance.

[yermom]

well, it cant rain in the LNC :biggrin:

i got tickets, so i'm stuck now...

[Mississippi Sooner]

If he was only two hours late going on, he might be improving.

[OklaPony]

I read that this morning, also. Still not excited...

[King Crimson]

i saw GNR at McNichols in Denver. one of the worst shows i've ever seen. they were awful, and two hours late. Skid Row was much better.

[Petro-Sooner]

I think I'm in with some friends. Where is the place to purchase tickets?

[IBleedCrimson]

who the hell is guns and roses?

[GDC]

Saw Steel Panther in Las Vegas this weekend, great show, very entertaining.

[IndySooner]

Read some reviews from their shows last week. First of all, they were late coming to the stage, as is to be expected. Started after midnight in Miami.

That said, evidently the people who stuck around saw three hours worth of music, new and old, and they were better than ever. I now can't wait for the concert on Wednesday!

[yermom]

anyone want my extra VIP Floor ticket?

[GDC]

I would but I am stuck in Stoolwater...

[yermom]

Sold it to a scalper after none of my friends would take it for free. $$$.

They are like 30 minutes late opening the doors and they charge to park at LNC? Lame.

[Petro-Sooner]

Interview in the morning so I'm out. Caught some of their show of YouTube and was less than impressed. Wish me luck!!

[sooneron]

uh, Yermom...

The show was a lot of fun. I think Axl was on pacific time. They played over 3 hours and it was like 2am before they were done

Jesse Jane was in line in front of me

Funny. She walked by us and I said to my wife, "That's one of the three local porn stars!" Don't think my wife was impressed.

Great show, actually! I had pretty low expectations, but Axl looks like he's lost 40 lbs., was on key the whole time and put on a good show. The rest of the band is really freaking good. It was worth the delay for sure.

[Boomer_Sooner_sax]

I saw them in Houston last Friday. The doors to the Toyota Center opened 15 minutes late. Buckcherry opened for them and was TERRIBLE! As for GNR, they took the stage at 10:30pm and played for three hours solid and didn't end until 1:30am! GNR was awesome though. Played old and new songs and Axl may not look the same, but is still really good. I really enjoyed it a lot.

Who are the other two?

[IndySooner]

Who are the other two?Don't remember their names, but The Lost Ogle highlights them all pretty often and Landthieves certainly could tell you.

[Petro-Sooner]

How big was the turn out for it?

[IndySooner]

How big was the turn out for it?I would say 5,000 or so. It kind of looked like an OU basketball crowd.

[OUmillenium]

Man, I knew I should have went. Review in the paper was pretty favorable for Ax.

I bought the last GNR cd and thought it was terrible. Loved their 80s stuff and UYI 1 and 2.

I'll catch em next regional venue
