Hey check this out;
the Detroit show was awesome. Whether there was 4 people there or 40000 people there..
Hey check this out;
NOBODY has suggested the show wasn't awesome. Some of you need to stop being so defensive and sensitive. Really. I mean the discussion was based on the attendance at the DETROIT show and what the stage configuration was at the DETROIT show and the overall interest in the United States in relation to the interest in DETROIT as a whole from a ticket sales perspective. At NO point did anyone say the show sucked or even slightly suggest that it did. The discussion was specific to this show and naturally evolved. Since when are actual discussions that dont' include any bashing, hate, or negativity, asked to be held elsewhere, especially when at it's core it was specific to this show? If that's the case maybe we shoud never speak about the attendence at specific shows nor should we even speak about the crowds reaction. I mean god forbid back in 2010 when I discussed the Calgary show I mentioned the crowd had severely thinned out by the time PC was played because regardless of how many people were there the show was awesome.
There's nothing "negative" going on here Russ. You can relax.
Well said, Bono.
#302 Re: Guns N' Roses » Robin vs. DJ Ashba » 708 weeks ago
Not a fan of SIXX:AM, but DJ is certainly a capable replacement.
However, my decision wasn't even a close call. Robin co-wrote on seven excellent tracks in Guns. He was a monster on the '06 tour and really elevates two monster bands. Robin by a mile.

Also must consider the overhead required to transport all that equipment across the country.

We've heard at various times that CD could be a double album, that CD would be 15 tracks plus an additional 11 or 12, that there was a whole album more of material not used.....
Honestly, this doesn't strike me as new information. Going back to 06, how close did we feel we were to a release based on news from the front, and how wrong were we?
There was positive energy in '06, quite a bit actually. Robin was crazy sick on that tour and the band had recaptured the attention of the US for the first time since the VMAs.
My point is that this band needs to complete the tour and get to work on the new album in order for anyone to take these plans seriously. It was a herculean effort to release CD. Axl hinted in the Trunk interview that there were still label issues to take care of before movement on a new album could be made. For some reason, and especially true for this band, it is far easier to talk plans than to execute them. Sometimes I can't believe how hard it is for them to make progress.

Tommy comments are much too conditional to generate hope. We've seen this dog and pony show before. Plans are really just pontifications at this point. Until this band gets off the road, bunkers down, and actualizes some of these ideas, G&R will remain in the land of frozen time.

^No other GNR shows have had midcourt setups. There was a false rumor about that in Chicago, and I assure you, it was end stage, and the beotch was a capacity crowd.
I didn't say that other G&R shows did.
#307 Re: Guns N' Roses » Detroit, MI - The Palace (December 1, 2011) » 708 weeks ago
I bought my tickets directly through The Palace and received no email saying the stage would be a half court.
It appears it is indeed an end stage.
The email was sent out. There are members at the GnRBar who received the notification of the 'intimate theater' set up. In fact, they were alarmed because they were worried their seats may have changed.
As I mentioned in my post, other arenas have moved the stage to midcourt under these circumstances. I made that clear in my post.

Still doesn't have anything to do with an "agenda".
Agendas = numerous posts trying to prove or negate a fact with biased opinion.
If I have an attendence agenda, where's the dirt at?
I guess you don't read very well because I said you 'spun positivity'. The 'agenda' referred to the use of concert writers who tore into the band while quoting poor attendance numbers. I choose to find sources who do not appear to have an agenda against the band. This has nothing to do with you other than the scope I just mentioned.
#309 Re: Guns N' Roses » Detroit, MI - The Palace (December 1, 2011) » 708 weeks ago
That's not what I posted is it? You're putting and attibuting words in my mouth that I did not say.
Once again you failed to show me what I SAID that you claimed I had an "agenda".
So I again ask you... STOP SHITTING ON AN UPDATE THREAD with an agenda to prove nobody cares about GN'R.
You said this:
Depends on the area. Florida gave GN'R 2009-11 a big warm welcome for the tour. I remember Dallas & Chicago also having equally as big and happy crowds.
I am simply correcting you.
