Would love to see the Chillis live again. Seen them 3 times already and they put on a good gig.

really? Looking back on the worst/best gig thread they are featured a lot as one of the worst gigs (lansdowne rd).. I was at that gig it was crap. They were also crap at Slane when they played with QOTSA...

When did you see them?

Slane in 2001, i thought they were exceptional, a 19 track setlist as a support act, where would ya get that, they did about 90 minutes if i recall.

Saw them again in 2003 at Slane, but thought the 2001 gig was far superior. Even though, there was a good chunk of “By The Way” material played in 2003, i don’t know, they seemed less “hungry”. or something.

Yep. In the Olympia. Had tickets and cancelled with five hours notice. Due to sickness which is understandable and happens.

But it should have been postponed to this.

Yeah that's kinda, why I was wondering. Would have thought they could have delayed and made tickets valid for this.

Lansdowne was poor enough, but their Phoenix park gig was shocking. Awful sound, no energy. Thought they were excellent at Slane.

Not quite. The original shows were 'Reworked' with a stage-full of extra musicians.
As this is 'Acoustic', I'd expect it to be bare-bones, with no extra performers (hence, half the price of the November dates).

Caught them at Oxegen 06 and thought they were just boring imo

i saw them in 02 and 03 and I think they were certainly less hungry as you say then. A real let down.. sounds like I was just unlucky.

Seems to be a presale for past purchasers starting tomorrow. Not sure how it works

I'm surprised Guns N Roses didnt sell out...
Too pricey and too many gigs on around the same time?

Over a grand each?!
Metallica did the same on their tour - ridiculous money for a seat and a lanyard

All the big bands do something similar nowadays. There are enough morons around to pay it too.

Yeah except Metallica, ya got to meet, depending on your luck either a combination of Lars & Kirk, Kirk & Rob, or Rob & Lars.

Don't even get that with GN'R... Whether that's down to them personally, or management.

Think the one Alter Bridge run is the cheapest of the bunch, plus the usual perks and more included with them kind of packages.

Their Meet & Greet is $175.00 but ya get the following...

Soundcheck Access
Meet the Band
Exclusive VIP Laminate
Limited Edition Signed Poster
Walk the Sky CD
Photo Op with Alter Bridge (Cellphone Photo)
Hassel-free Merch Shopping
Early Entry

Plus Mark does guitar/songwriting clinics during the tour, for $150

One Hour Group Session
Q&A with Mark
On-stage Live Rig Tour
Photo Op with Mark
Soundcheck Access

And I've heard from people who have done the above, great value for money and the AB guys are absolute gents..

That's exactly it. If there wasn't demand, they wouldn't be doing it.

Plus the fact that we all stopped buying CDs.

"Go behind the scenes and ask a select member of the GN'R crew what it takes to put an elaborate production together"

"Exclusive Guns N Roses Guitar Pic"


Arriving to the gig, "I'm just going backstage to ask one of crew what o earth it takes to put such an elaborate production together and to collect my guitar pic"..
:rolleyes:

Nowso

question why is resale only available on some events via tmstr web site ? surely more should be

*Megadeth

The spelling you used is another term entirely.

Also it's probably album #16 related, Dave did mention in an interview they'd be releasing 3 new tracks from the album ahead of their tour opening for Five Finger Death Punch.

I think it's a management thing with Team Brazil. From what i've seen Axl is generally the only one if you ever met him on the off chance is the most accomodating to fans he will take a picture , sign the odd thing etc when hes not bombarded with people around him. The person who is the least willing to engage with fans is Slash he wont give you the time of day and has a no picture or signing policy , Duff seems cool with it as well the hired people have no problem with it. Another thing is that if they were to offer that opportunity as a package its open to any weirdo buying it and meeting them and it also means theyd have to be at the venue earlier than they want to. I see no problem with no meet and greets id rather meet them on the off chance than an actual organised thing if you are dying to see one of them up close or in a normal setting find out where they are staying if your that desperate but yeah they dont have to meet people if they dont want to i dont think any of the acts enjoy that part of it tbh

Surprised to hear that about Slash. Always thought he was a great guy for the fans.

Suppose not all rock stars are nice people. You probably see Joe Elliot walking around Dublin.

Thanks again for flagging this! Got the email which was buried away in my inbox and just got front row seats.

Was very fair as well. Limited to two tickets per unique ticket link.
