    according to someone from hellfests facebook page 'GNR will not play europe in 2016'.

    so 3 shows before Coachella and then off til 2017 ???

    Not bad for 3 shows, which is probably just testing the waters for a possibly bigger tour, and allowing Slash to go back to his solo band and get SMKCIII finished

    Why record a video if the band isn't going to be there, it makes no sense, then again GN'R over the last 15 years have been nonsensical..

    You really think they're in this for nostalgia? Not a hope, they're all in this for 1 reason, MONEY.

    2 grand for a VIP package which doesn't include a greet the meat? Yeah, money is all it is

    Slash solo career that is highly dependent on playing GNR songs, Loaded were renamed Duff Mckagans Loaded to alert casuals to them, Walking Papers meh.

    Why would Slash and Duff want the bust of cash any less than Axl?

    Also you'd still be a fool to part with 2k for a VIP even if a meet & greet was included :rolleyes:

    2k for a VIP package with no Meet & Greet?? A reported $3m per show??? They're in it for one last payday, plain & simple.

    Axl is absolutely LOADED he definitely doesn't need the money.

    Slash recently got divorced from ex-madam/hooker and wife/manager Perla.

    If anyone needs the cash it is him (no prenup)

    Axl is paying off a load of people from the past, and also from the expense of Chinese Democracy,which cost $14 million to make!!!

    Paying off who for what?

    The record company recouped the 14million with the Best Buy deal. Axl is worth over 150 million and has a multimillion dollar property portfolio alone.

    He is not hard up in the slightest.

    None of them really are - even Adler is worth 15 million

    I think Duff has a pretty tidy sum, maybe not as much as Axl has from song-writing credits though. I remember from his book, he mentions that when he was sobering up and studying finances he invested in a couple of Seattle start-up companies in the early 90s. The companies were Amazon and Starbucks. From the book it always struck me that he was a guy who was pretty savvy with his cash.

    Duff is very wealthy, second only to Axl.

    Slash admitted in interviews that he turned down hundreds of millions to reunite with Axl and vice versa.

    Interesting. I always figured "Duff McKagan's Loaded" was a reference towards intoxication, rather than his personal wealth. Nice.

    Synopsis of the documentary tonight.
    Documentary featuring rare footage of the Los Angeles rockers in their earliest days as a fledgling band, filmed and meticulously archived over the years by their close friend producer-director Jon Brewer. They became known as `the most dangerous band in the world' and retained the title for reasons his film demonstrates via interviews with band members and those who were there on tour - and off. Brewer's film also addresses how they managed to climb the charts from the gutters of Hollywood's Sunset Strip

    Guessing the documentary will probably will cover from 1985 up to 1990..

    That documentary was just a rehash of what people already know, plus the rare footage was hardly rare, most of the live 80's stuff can be found on YouTube.. A wasted hour and a half.

    It was cool to see them rocking out but I was hoping there'd be a lot more unseen back stage footage from both the early days and the illusion tours
    Most of the live stuff shown is already available on u tube
    They'll have to give Steve a few gigs if they dont it'll send him over the edge again. It's like his sole purpose in life is to get back in the band

    Does any of the more encyclopaedic heads on here know the reason there was never an official video for Nightrain when it was released as a single here just after Patience
    Considering the vids for welcome to the jungle , paradise city , sweet child , and patience would of had a good bit of air time on mtv at the time
    I think Nightrain hit no. 26 here I remember Larry Gogan playing it during his chart show and commenting on Slash's "mighty fine guitar playing " while the outro solo was fading out in the background

    I don't know how Slash put up with it in the first place.

    Well they haven't played the song since 88/89.. And despite some of Axl's choice of words in the song, One In A Million is still a great song..
