Re: Troubadour 04/01/16 - videos
I think over all, from all the clips, Axl sounds pretty good. PC was the worst of the bunch but that was not early 2011 bad.
Slash's tone was much closer to UYI from the small shitty clips, so not a good way to judge.
The front 3 looked killer, but when you then look at Frank and Fortus, I must admit, it didn't look right. It just didn't. Now, I have no choice to accept it and will still have fun, but we are so close to getting Adler and Izzy on there at this point. We just need to see it. Even if for 2 songs. I think we get them in Vegas.
Depends on if the Adler injury rumor is true, and I tend to think it is. Why else would he cancel his own gig and NOT perform with Guns? Injury or something along those lines makes sense to me. So who knows how long it'll take him to get back into playing shape. Talk about bad timing. Then again, maybe they're just saving it until Vegas to unveil him. And the Izzy situation appears to be about cash. That's never an easy thing to settle, so who knows where that goes.

The injury could just be a way to save face. You think Adler would want to play the Whiskey on the same night Axl/Duff/Slash are playing the Troubadour? Embarrassing is an understatement.

I saw Guns in 2002 in Toronto, and the Hammerstein show 2006 with Izzy (I think that was the first one?), man does it feel good to see him back up there with Slash and Duff together.
All they need is Izzy, and I won't piss on the Adler lovers.
But, man does it look good.
In my ideal world Robin would be there instead of Fortus, but alas!
From a liability standpoint it makes sense not to have Izzy (commitment) and Adler (junk and stuff) being there.
However, I'd want the Izzy factor due to the songwriting ability.
Perhaps, the Axl, Slash, and Duff are very wary of those two hence why they might just be guests and what not.
If one of the two are coming back. It seems like Izzy is the easiest to bring back. But, can he handle the full time touring gig. I think he was brought back full time they would do a three person guitar shindig. Having Fortus there as insurance. In case the Iz man goes AWOL.
Either way, thinks looks great, and I am happy for the band.
I haven't been this excited in a long time. Ever since Robin left, I basically was like fuck that band. Now that this is the lineup I am happy.
No more Ashba, no more nightmares.

Thanks for the refresher. I hope I still have my ticket stub.
I hate the new paper tickets people print off at home. Always I've been a fan of a stub.
Was that the last one? I can't remember much.
But didn't fucking Kid Rock come out as well? That was the only low point of the show ha.
I remember jokingly talking about rioting, with people, and this wiener security guard was like please don't (all sadish) ha ha ha.

maybe just a slight error there - stating that GNR played their first show at Troubadour at 06/06/85 is not correct. actually that was their first show in AFD lineup. there were a few 1985 shows before that, with either Tracii/Ole/Gardner, Duff/Tracii/Gardner or Duff/Tracii/"other drummer" (no idea who the hell was that - possibly still Rob Gardner?) source: http://www.gnrontour.com/setlistalm85.htm
