I'm not expecting anything too different. Maybe a surprise guest or two, but I'm guessing the set list will remain essentially the same.

Heard Spay this morning. Decent track from a mediocre album.
Honestly the station grows boring after a few listens. Too much non-GnR filler for my liking. I don't need to hear Back in Black, Can't You Hear Me Knocking, Crocodile Rock every other song.
I think I heard Duff will be hosting his own show on the channel early next week...not positive but caught the tail end of an ad. Hopefully it's not just that shitty live book he did.
Unfortunately they don't have enough original material to fill an entire channel 24/7/7. I don't think you'd even get through one day before you start with repeats. I haven't listened to CD in some time so it's kind of refreshing to hear them mixed in on the channel.

I wouldn't expect anything too far out of the box. It'll probably be quite similar to the GNR station on Dash radio. Plays GNR and other influences on them, Aerosmith, AC/DC, etc. Unfortunately they don't have a deep enough discography to warrant more than a limited run channel on SiriusXM. I'll listen to it as much as I can while it's on though for sure.

It will probably spill over to the actual 30th anniversary of AFD, so. I'm sure that's probably not just a coincidence although I'm surprised there's no mention of it in the press release. And why not schedule the show on the actual anniversary date 7/21, which is a Friday? I suppose they could have a show already scheduled that day at the Apollo. I'll be listening in on my radio at the very least that night. I entered the sweepstakes but that's a long shot.
I entered too...hopefully one of us gets to go. If I win, you might get to go anyway as I'm not sure the wife would be interested...
Deal. My wife probably wouldn't be interested either under normal circumstances. The fact that she'll be a few months from giving birth probably takes her out of the mix altogether. I'm sure she's relieved.
I read that Nightrain members will have a shot at tickets too but my membership ran out recently so unless I shell out the dough for that again, I'm out on that one.

The channel is only for a limited time, but cool nonetheless.

THis is the kind of jack assery that shows the average American's soul to the rest of you...
SG comes into the European politics thread to talk about the Trump travel.
Not only does he have know knowledge of American law or the judiciary...he couldn't give a shit less about any English that lost a loved one today.
It's the wrong thread and time to bring up Trump's travel ban, but you're out of line saying he doesn't care about any of the victims. I'll leave it at that.
Thoughts and prayers to the victims and people of London.

I agree but it's clear this hype is off target.
Like why all the talk of single releases and album releases and the dates songs were written when....then going on about more to come...when your announcement is not about anything of the sort.
Not to mention this is a USA tour but these videos and the wait for them attracted the entire international fanbase...
Would have made more sense to hype up how good the first legs of the NITL tour were, how well received, ticket sales and sold out shows etc...
I have no problem with them hyping the tour and doing more shows but this was terribly executed.
KLOS in LA said they'd have a big GNR announcement and then this video came out saying they were coming back to where it all began. So I expected LA shows myself.

Obviously the mistake was mine to expect something, but I just feel the nature of outlining so much stuff about the history of the band and in particular details of album and single releases to that extent was somewhat misleading...when you consider how its sort of unusual to do a reunion with out a comeback single..and the history of GNR having works in the vault etc....
It's cool they're doing more shows...but I just feel the nature of that promo train made it seem like they had a more significant surprise up their sleeve than a 4th leg of a tour....and the 2nd time around this tour in the USA.....sort of a fuss about nothing when you consider they didn't do this much hype for the asia or europe dates etc.
That right there could be a good reason. So far they're hitting areas for the first time on tour. The US dates are their second time around, so they probably will need to hype those up a bit more than the first time when the shows sold themselves.

It's pretty much outlining the history of the band. Albums, videos, tours, awards, etc. And it started in LA (USA). Now they're returning, with more US dates.
