I'll never get used to seeing so many seats at a rock gig.

One of the best rock biographies I've read. It was so depressing when he was talking about his alcohol and drug abuse, the way he described it you could almost feel it.

Izzy seems to have been a right dirt bag as a teen. Lucky he was as talented as he is or he would be doing a long stretch in jail at the moment (or dead) .

Lithium93_ · 11-07-2016 12:53am

Has anyone read Duff's other book, How To Be A Man: (and other Illusions)

No, that's Richard Fortus, he joined in '02..

Apologies if this has already been posted, but there's a great interview from Brain's time in Guns. Around 1 hour 10 in to it.

Got Duffs book today, really looking forward to reading it.

Europe late spring/summer 2017 I'm guessing

They will hardly do a Euro tour in December??? I'd accept if an Irish date was included lol

I think there doing Asia/Oceania Jan/Feb 2017

Lithium93_ · 13-07-2016 6:48pm

Who knows what happens after the South American gigs, probably go on hiatus til the new year, Slash probably regroups Myles & The Conspirators to do album #3..

They'll probably be in demand for festival season, and Download Festival usually reveal the first headliner in October/November.

Much like previous years with GN'R, it's wait and see.

gnfnrhead · 13-07-2016 8:39pm

I'd bet on a summer tour for Europe. Download and Rock Am Ring are both typically in June so I bet they'll be getting nice offers to do both. A quick look on Wikipedia has dozens of rock festivals with a lot of them in June or July all across Europe. Would be pretty dumb of them not to wait until the Summer at this stage.

Saw them last night in Toronto - I had never seen Axl's guns n roses or Velvet Revolver, never seen any of them live.

My god! It was the most amazing thing I think I have ever seen. Forked out $500 for the pit so was right there at the front. It actually took me about 3 songs before I started to take stuff in, I was just so sort of star struck I guess gawking at them.

Axl's voice was just mind-blowing, band were excellent as I expected and then the pyrotechnics added another layer to it.

Sort of depressed today because any gigs I go to from now on will be compared to this. I didn't even leave to the bar or bathroom once - I just did not want to miss 1 second of the action.

Sounds like its quite the show, leagues ahead of the Chinese democracy shows

Acdc in the Aviva was good last year, so would not mind seeing GNR there

Lithium93_ · 18-07-2016 6:46pm

Found these on MYGNR

Aye, it was the album that gave rock n' roll the kick up the backside it needed back then

Must've caused quiet a stir here in Ireland when it came out

Even welcome to the jungle sound great.

Yeah, it's been on the alt/rehearsed set list since the tour started with the 2 Vegas gigs..

I'd imagine it'll get played at some point hopefully, it's one of those Velvet Revolver songs that I really want to hear Axl belt out.

I wouldn't be getting to excited about it Perfect Crime has been on the alt list since Chinese Democracy came out and hasn't been played in donkeys years mind you this tour has been full of surprises so I guess all bets are off who would of tought Coma would be a staple of the reunion gigs so suppose anything possible.

Only been on alt lists since 2010 I think, indeed this tour has been full of surprises so far, so never say never, as clichéd as it is...

Now if only Locomotive was swapped in for Coma

lord lucan · 26-07-2016 1:22pm

I was a little dubious about the 'reunion' but having watched a few performances lately they seem on fire and really hope we get a visit next year.

This performance of my second favourite GN'R song is savage from New Jersey the other night.

thegreengoblin · 26-07-2016 7:30pm

Reading the posts about Appetite's anniversary got me thinking that GNR will surely start going down the reissue route fairly soon. For a band that has sold so many records there's been remarkably little in the way of re-issues/re-masters, etc...for obvious reasons of course. A 30th anniversary Appetite deluxe edition...so much stuff that could go on it.

What would folks like to see on it? A live gig for example, the Marquee show from 1987 is a real contender. Same with the Ritz show although that could be put on a DVD along with the videos for the singles. A few demos, any extra live B sides. Hardback book. And maybe a few pins or badges to round it all off!

I reckon the Lies album would be thrown in as well as it was part of that era, so there's the demos from those sessions also. Maybe one of the Tokyo Budokan gigs from late 88 could go with that. Overall it would be a fantastic box set!

Interesting also that the Use Your Illusion albums are 25 years old in September...could they have something special lined up? Very unlikely at this stage. But there's a wealth of material that could be packaged with that...the Rumbo Tapes springs to mind.

But that can wait another five years...get that Appetite re-issue sorted, lads!

Lithium93_ · 26-07-2016 7:43pm

GN'R will do whatever Axl feels like, and that's not being funny, Slash & Duff will probably add their 2 cents to it, would they be even thinking that far ahead right now, who knows what's happening with them, they could be planning all kinds of stuff, or just focusing on finishing the U.S Summer tour and seeing where things go from there..

Would be cool if they did something for the 30th anniversary of Appetite, time will tell I suppose.

Lithium93_ · 27-07-2016 11:11am

Boy I was wrong when I said this yesterday

would they be even thinking that far ahead right now, who knows what's happening with them, they could be planning all kinds of stuff, or just focusing on finishing the U.S Summer tour and seeing where things go from there..

As the band's production manager Opie Skjerseth has said this

I’ve been told there’s no end date. I’ve seen plenty of dates going far into next year

Ex GN'R bassist Tommy Stinson was asked in an interview by Rock On Philly on July 22nd about the Guns N' Roses reunion.

Here's the GN'R bit

Rock On Philly

I know you’ve been asked about working with Guns n’ Roses quite a bit, but what was it like working with the band, particularly Axl being the notorious front man many think he is?

Tommy Stinson

That’s one of the biggest misconceptions about him. He is a very hard working dude that has a very particular way he wants to do things. I’ll be honest with you, if he’s doing anything other than he wants to be doing and you’re in the room, you don’t want to be in there, but when he’s doing what he wants to do, he’s great and he’s doing a great job. I’ve seen Guns n’ Roses twice now with the whole band and he is kicking ass and I’m very happy for him. I’m really happy for all my friends who are in that band.

Rumours the band accidently leaked dates for a Austrailia/New Zealand tour next year. Dates in Wellington and Aukland for NZ

If NZ can get 2 dates so why cant Ireland ???

Cork PUC and The Aviva Stadium next July please

Here's hoping

Was it the band or management who accidentally leaked the Australia/New Zealand dates?

And if they come to Ireland, big IF, it'd be a Dublin show or shows if we're lucky, and besides isn't PUC in Cork being redeveloped?

think it will open by next summer (the false rumours of the Garth Brooks and Adele shows last week suggested that)

The Aviva was a good venue for the ACDC show (although sound was horrendus in some parts of the Stadium) so that would be the logical place to host GNR next year. Croke Park is another option but may be too big and then theres the option of Slane Castle (which nobody wants really).

hopefully we will knw by christmas if there will be a dublin show or not

Or they could time their European tour announcement to coincide with the announcement of the first headliner for Download 2017, and that announcement is usually made in November

Ol' Donie · 04-08-2016 8:56pm

Did yis know there a sort of movie version of Duff's autobiography on Google play or whatever it's called?

I have to admit, I really didn't love it, much and all as I do love Duff.
