Will ye chill ffs. It hasn't even been bloody officially confirmed yet!!???

Lithium93_ · 19-10-2016 10:21pm

Or it may not even be real and someone's playing a sick joke, getting people all excited.

Till the band themselves announce it.. Just a little patience.

Left out the not after may..

They'll sell out here, easily.

Not sure where you're getting your info from but surprisingly they haven't.

Of 25 shows 12 sold out or close too it, loads of tickets sold obviously due to magnitude and Livenation looking at the tour as a whole rather than city to city, with average ticket prices for it $130 numerous empty seats can be ignored it seems.

All I know is the minute the tickets go on sale I'm getting mine because I can't see how there won't be a huge demand for them.

I'd love a Croke Park date with Billy talent or the cult and Alice In Chains on the bill but cp shows start late so only room for one support band

I reckon we will have news in the next few weeks, definitely before Xmas to cash in on the Christmas present frenzy.

I agree totally with you, either The Cult or Alice in Chains would definitely be epic. Have Alice in Chains ever even played in Ireland, cannot recall in the recent past definitely post Layne.

AIC supported Metallica in Marlay Park in 2009 and they were unreal, almost sure they played a solo gig here a few years ago but could be wrong

Supported in RDS in 06 on their comeback. The sun, opening with We Die Young....unreal. No headline shows post Layne though. Olympia would be perfect size, vicar Street if Aiken got them.

Tbh if they supported GNR I'd be more excited for AIC.

I'd say axl being on the road with ac/dc is his main rehearsal vocally anyway. This year of 2016 so far has to be the most active year for axl in years, maybe since the illusions tour.

PTH2009 · 20-10-2016 11:35pm

GNR charge crap loads of $$$$$$$$$$$$ to play there shows but would MCD have enough to get them here ???? i imagine they cost a lot more than they did in 2010 and 2012

If in Croke Park the prices could be like this

Standing could be anywhere between E95-E150
Hogan and Cusack seating E120-E180
Davin Stand seating E85-E120

GNR also do a VIP thing which will cost about E600

F@*k it, I'd pay that to see the 3 of them(Slash, Duff & Axl) sharing a stage again!!!

Wouldn't pay for a VIP package, mind you.....

Asian/Oceanic tour dates early 2017
Huge Euro tour June/July/Aug 2017
American Arenas Oct/Nov/Dec 2017

possibly New Music, New Live Album/DVD

very doubtful but imagine a co headline euro tour with AC/DC (New primary vocalist, Axl does a few songs, New Bass player )and GNR. THAT WOULD BE HUGE

Picked up a record in Tower Records today.

GNR live NYC Feb 2, 1998.

Doesn't seem to be official, it's not exactly glossy.

Never saw it before, only listened to few tunes so far. Love it.

Anyone else see this before?

Well look at it this way, we never thought we'd ever see Slash & Axl on the same stage ever again... So if they can put aside their differences, anything is possible, time to be positive about Guns N' Roses again

That's their Ritz gig, arguably the original 5 at the peak of their powers, great show

Ol' Donie · 22-10-2016 11:39pm

But how come it's on a record?

It's amazing, how come it's not smothered in GNR logos etc?

In old fashioned terms it's a bootleg. Or as they say nowadays, it's an unauthorised release. Any amount of them around.

I remember when BBC2 broadcast that gig back in 1989. I recorded it of course and watched it so many times that I knew every stage movement, every intro backwards and upside down. So many classic moments. Probably my favourite part is after Axl stage dives during Paradise City and then watching the tug of war between security and the crowd as he tries to get back on stage!

It was pretty much the first time that I had seen or heard a GNR gig in any shape or form. That led me to start collecting as many bootlegs as I could get my hands on. I still have all the tapes as well as the Ritz gig on VHS. Golden memories!

thegreengoblin · 23-10-2016 12:47pm

Very lengthy article on Mr Stradlin on the LA Times website, sort of a Where Izzy Now? piece (sorry!). In the absence of anything else over the last while there's plenty to chew over with lots of rehashed quotes and vague testimonies from ex-Ju Ju Hounds and the like. And of course no new quotes from the man himself, with the author even going to so far as to leave a note for him in his letterbox ffs.

could be getting the rumour from that list of dates posted on that ticket site and from GNR fansites etc

Its not a bad venue in fairness (sound was ok from sec 307 for Springsteen last may), views are good from all seats (the davin stand is not as far away as it looks) better than Slane imo (Is there actually going to be a slane concert next year ??)

Mental Mickey · 26-10-2016 1:15pm

Slane is outdated

lord Mountcharles and Sons would beg to differ but from stories we all heard over the last few years its a miracle somebody wasant hurt and the transport system there is chaotic

He never got ACDC after all the BS he was saying

but they could market the 25th Anniversary of the 1992 GNR show next year (Parents who where there in 1992 will bring there Kids/Grandkids in 2017 etc)

Hopefully its Croker. Discussing on another forum that the GNR could be either 2 dates

End of May 2017 (Same times as Bruce this year) as another rumour stated Dublin will be first date of the tour and May seems a realistic start date for the tour

Midweek July show before coldplay (8th July). The Leinster Hurling final is normally played in Croker on the first sunday in July
