Re: Santiago, Chile - October 5, 2011
yeah, this thread is pathetic. how old are we? i take care of my little kids all day long and come on here after i put them to bed in anticipation of hearing some clips from the last show and, instead, have to read through pages and pages of childish nonsense in order to even attempt to do so.

Ali wrote:What in the hell are you talking about? I didn't backpeddle at all. I stated from the get go that the only way a poor Rio performance would affect US tour ticket sales was if a mainstream press outlet (US) covered the Rio festival. I went on to cite clear examples of that happening in 2001 when both MTV News and RS reviewed/covered GN'R's set. That hasn't happened here at all yet. The Aussie MTV site will clearly NOT be read by many people in the US. That's why it's the Aussie version of the site
A radio station isn't a press outlet. That's stating a fact, not backpeddling.

Ummm... what's this? http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/amplif … is-volume/
very generous of them to include the best performance of the night and not throw up November Rain or Patience or YCBM etc etc etc,
That just came out today. That wasn't out when I made my statement originally. Let's see if it affects US tour ticket sales, like you claim.

Re: Santiago, Chile - October 5, 2011
Ali is not right. In 2011 major press coverage in the U.S. is Yahoo! News.
I love this total double fuckin' standard when it comes to modern age technology. When it's pro something, every fuckin Axlite would be hear talking about how a major news outlet on the internet (Yahoo!) said Axl ruled.
But yet, when they trash them, and rightfully so... every fuckin' apologist comes out of the woodwork to say how it doesn't mean anything. It's not real media coverage.
I made this exact same post in the Rio thread (or somewhere else) and it was completely and totally ignored.
Wonder why?
Because this mother fuckin' game is fixed here folks.
That's how the fanboys want it. Axl does no wrong ever. Well if he never does any wrong, all objectivity goes out the window. Because everything he does, including that runny shit he had last night after eating Chilian food, was great! That was a great shit! God damn does it stink, but it's a good stink! You rawk!
Damn, you missed the boat completely on what I said and what was meant completely.
And I love how some here have extended the use of the word troll to anyone who has differing viewpoints:laugh:
What happened? I thought this place was supposed to be where more civilized, respectful discussion was supposed to happen? Doesn't seem like it this last day at least.

No kidding Ali cause you made your statement mere hours after the show had ended and then scoffed at the idea that any "legit" or to your standards satisfactory media outlet would report it. And hell yes THIS will have an impact on ticket sales. You only need a brain to understand that. Are the people who don't post on Guns N' Roses forums gonna read that decide they dont' care to even bother then jump online cause they gotta report to Ali the specifics of why they chose not to purchase tickets? My god how do you not understand that YES negative news articles will impact ticket sales just like a positive news article would. Hell I bought my tickets to the 2010 shows based off the 2009 boots I saw. Granted not a news article but the same type of deal. You think I'd be buying tickets based off the Rio footage I saw? Hell no. Positive word of mouth impacts sales in a positive way. Negative word of mouth impacts sales in a negative way. I never said anything about the tour going tits up because of it but I did say things like this will have an impact. It's called COMMON SENSE.

Another one. Axl is still short of breath here and there and pitchy as well, but better than Rio.

Re: Santiago, Chile - October 5, 2011
All I can say aftervseeing some of the videos is I wish I'd have been there! Old or new songs the band was rocking and Axl looked as though he was having a blast. At the end of the day it just looked like a great concert to be at, lots of atmosphere.
Kudos to Ron on estranged aswell spot on. it'd be interesting to see what he could come up with if Axl asked him to write lead guitar for a song like teat or estranged.
Re: Santiago, Chile - October 5, 2011

I thought DJ absolutely nailed the Estranged solo in Chile!

yeah i dunno if it seems that you dont have something bad to say that you are on the outs around here, didnt you know that you are not allowed to see anythign remotely positive about anythign "except about estranged"
maybe we should change our tune Ali...say it with me now
"GNR IS OVER, GNR IS OVER"
btw i havent watched any of this gig...and i'm not gonna, so dont even ask...last time my review went over like a burning bag of dog shit
