Can someone pm me a presale code if they're not planning on using one, I might not get to use it before the presale ends, but if I could have one from a kind soul I would appreciate it.

Was the RDS sold out during on their last gig in Dublin?

No but there was a pretty big crowd all the same. They should sell out the O2.

I was at the AC/DC gig in Punchestown and had a great time. I couldn't give a toss whether it was day or night. Hell it was lashing at that gig and it was still brilliant.

Oh so did I, it wasn't a bad gig by any stretch of the imagination. Just the smaller O2 gig had a better atmosphere. But then I do think indoor gigs are generally better than outdoor (90% of the time anyway)

I don't mind Axl going off the stage. The gig was brilliant regardless and their latest tour is getting great reviews.

People used to moan about the solo spots back in the day too you know.

What a ridiculous post.

You thought it was poor because YOU were LATE and the band hit the stage ON TIME.

You thought it was poor because the gig was played in DAYLIGHT.

Axl left the stage during solo spots not ever couple of minutes. He ALWAYS did that even back during the Illusions tour.

Big fan my hole.

In fairness playing in daylight, while minor, is a legitimate complaint. I saw AC/DC in both the o2 and punchestown last year and the o2 gig was quite a bit better, one of the reasons being it was dark when the band came on which added to the lighting and atmosphere, wheras the punchestown gig, it was still fairly bright when they came on (which obviously couldn't be helped since it was outdoors).
Also during the illusions tour, I don't think people would have minded as much with axl's breaks as you would have been seeing the original line up wheras nowadays you're really just going to see Axl

Doesn't mean it isn't annoying. I've never seen anyone need so many breaks. And solos are boring, whether they be drum, bass, guitar or piano, they're boring. End of story!

And wasn't one of the solos done that night a Christina Aguilera song? Can't really do the Dio devil horns to that now can you?

Hands up who is going for standing tickets?

You two are worse than Axl & Slash

Jeez, I said the RDS gig was poor which it was (for the reasons I stated). That means I'm not a fan? Can I only be a fan if I say positive opinions all the time. My second post wasn't negative at all

I must take a photo of my GnR collection and show you how much of a fan I am.

Both of your posts were negative about the band despite the fact that you said you were a big fan...I was just confused, because you didn't strike me as someone who was a fan of Guns N Roses currently

Sounds like a lot of people, including me, a fan of Guns n'Roses, the pre 2000 line ups, just not a fan of Axl

I think this will sell quite quickly. GnR have appeal to the masses that won't have a clue that Slash isn't in the band until they see he's not on stage.

The RDS wasn't a great gig Axl kept leaving the stage alot, just leaving the band to do some instrumental stuff which is fine to a point. I'd love to go but you would never be to sure about Axl.

I would think it is pretty safe to assume that anyone who will be going to this will know about the lineup.

It won't sell as quickly as AC/DC but quicker than Iron Maiden. I'd expect standing to sell within a couple of days and seats to eventually sell out. Get in quickly if you don't want to miss out.

Does anyone have any idea on the popularity of this concert - do you reckon its likely to sell out - or should I be ok to wait over the weekend until the next pay packet comes through.

I don't think it's gonna be another Pearl Jam, and to be fair, they didn't sell out the RDS

I'm a huge fan and I'm seeing them in Leeds as well but I just dunno whether I should be getting a ticket first and foremost Friday morning or whether I can wait a little while. What do people think?

Crue - this one is more difficult than most to gauge - they had such a cross the board following and again people are just going to go to see the songs they know being sung by Axl........indoors with a limit of 14k people it's quite possible that this will sell really well, having the Belfast show will take a little of the pressure off it though I think....

Screw it I'm going. Booked time off work today. This, then a day break, then Electric Picnic I guess.

im gonna get them to be on the safe side with the o2 presale

Ah the St Louis Incident, part of the reason Axl was so upset, was because the band themselves were taping it professionally - they were gonna use the finished product for a DVD - and then this guy ruins the experience

As you can see from here, all professionally filmed, and it looked well before this incident happened

What a complete cock, could have handled that WAYYYYY better

Every single time there is a thread on boards about GNR it is derailed by trolls who turn it into an Axl and the new line-up bashing thread. I don't mind if the thread is about the break-up of the old band but you can't even start a thread here to discuss an upcoming gig or their world tour (Rock&Metal forum) and it gets derailed by people who have nothing to add to the actual thread topic other than bashing the band.

I don't like Metallica but that doesn't mean I post in every Metallica thread that they suck etc etc.

It gets old real fast.

If you don't like this line-up fine, go start a thread in the Rock forum about it and do your bitching and whining there and let the fans of this line-up have a discussion for once without all this negative crap.

If you claim you dont like Metallica, then you must be a troll :P

This is great news. The 2006 Gig was Superb fun. I caught a drumstick which Axl tossed into the crowd after "Your Could be Mine". Sunny day, got to see three bands, and GNR played for over two hours. I think they would certainly be worth a look this time !

According to ticketmaster no ex lobsters allowed.:p:p

Really not that bothered what others think. I am going to the show because I love their music from the begining to Chinese Democracy, I am a fan of the band. For one reason or another I have not seen them live since Slane so I am looking forward to going and bringing my daughter with me.

Be a bit of a scary experiece if axel sees you taking a picture or recording a video on your phone or camara.

Eh...no. The infamous incident years ago involved a guy with a professional shoulder mounted videocamera. Not a camera or phone. In fact when the band played an intimate acoustic gig in New York recently people were waving camera phones in Axl's face and he didn't blink an eyelid. There are tons of front row videos of the band on youtube many of which feature Axl looking right at the camera without a care in the world. Most of the stuff about Axl in the media is quite frankly, bull****.
