As far as I can recall, Slash's second one would've been 2001 when his heart gave out after all the years of drugs and booze. Originally given between 6 days to 6 months. He got a 2nd opinion, and thankfully he's still kicking about.

Axl, overdosed in '86, said overdose went on to eventually inspire Coma.

Oh yeah the pacemaker. I’d forgotten about that.
I know the song coma was written after an overdose but I don’t think it was 1986. My recollection was it when he marriage to Erin was breaking down so it was late 80s.

The GNR concert in Costa Rica which was scheduled for March 18th has been cancelled by the Costa Rican government.

Well given the government here won't allow gatherings of 5,000 or more until September 1st it would seem the gig in Marley park is postponed until at least then(if GNR dont just cancel it).

Or it'll be rescheduled to next summer.

Really hope it’s rescheduled instead of cancelled.

MCD said thy wanted to have the full schedule done by yesterday - hopefully they are still working on a date as opposed to a cancellation

Now Susan McKagan's adding more fuel to new GN'R tunes..... On the Appetite For Distortion podcast she said this, picked up by Blabbermouth

I will say GN'R have been working fastidiously on killer new stuff. And I can't say much, but I've heard bits and bobs and it's pretty epic. I do wanna spread the good news, but not detailed news, I guess.

wasant see the first person to announce the return of Duff/Slash ??

going through a few old bootlegs of shows i was at and found one from GNR here in 2012 (not the axl walk off that was 2010 as we knw). It was a decent show and the hired guns were ok but my christ those extended guitar solos/jams. Its actually a pretty similar setlist to the shows on the NITL tour

Disapointed we never got a doc on the reunion but ya never knw it might come out someday

i was at the 2012 gig and it was a ZZZZzzzzzzzzz snoozefest, even ronan keatings exwife and the kid were gone before the encore, incidently Joe elliot was nearby too and he had the same hair as mrs keating, that' s how boring it was!

Slane 2017 on the other hand!

I think it was on an instagram live she did one of her friend said it.

There has always been guitar/drum solos in the previous eras of GNR. I’ve never understood why people complain about them during the last era. Matt sorum had very long drum solos. Axl left the stage between songs in the past, he also used oxygen during the UYI tour.

A documentary of this reunion ? We still haven’t seen the one that was recorded from 1991-1993 and Chinese Democracy took years to come out. Speedy releases of stuff isn’t this bands MO.

So Matt sorum's autobiography was delayed but it was available for a day in digital form and some fans have posted detailed recaps of it. Dear good little to nothing is positive about any of his former band mates. He barely says anything positive about duff and nothing good about slash. He said he he got shafted on royalties for the live era album because of the additional musician tag.

He says little positive about his time in the cult.

Basically it comes across as a giant moan.

Edit: also slash had something to do with him losing money on UYI.

Jealousy perhaps that he didn't get the call for the Not In This Lifetime Tour, with Axl instead wanting to keep Frank.

And even after all of that he still joined velvet revolver

It's hilarious to see this jealousy from Sorum all of a sudden surface when he's got a book on the way.

Didnt they do a soundcheck in the 02 (3Arenas name at the time) in 2012 to make sure Axl was in the arena ??? Almost sure they had a later stage time down for GNR and they still came on late :D

Thin Lizzy were a great support band but they had someother band supporting which were a disaster. Cant think of there name

I was at the 2010 and 2012 gigs. They were actually a little later on stage in 2012 iirc. I think the big difference was that Lizzy were a great support act, so people were in a much better mood. 2010 was one interesting night. 2006 was a great gig, but the sound could have been a bit better. Best lineup of the three from that era and definitely the best Axl performance.

"Live tour footage coming soon" - Recently posted on the GNR instagram.
Cool picture.

After the hours and hours of badly recorded footage I've watched, it'd be nice to get some pro-shot stuff.

Soon in GNR world hasn't always meant soon as normal people understand it. At least it's something and maybe we will get stuff going back to the UYI era and before that.

Well it's nice that their finally bothering their asses to give their fans something.
