Spotify sent me an email letting me purchase tickets for any upcoming show "before anybody else"...but i opened it too late

Im so happy theyre back!! can't wait for Coachella's live stream.

 

[Marvie_3]

Souds pretty good. Ive got tickets to see them at Met Life in July.

Me too, can't wait

 

[KingSnake]

This sounds unexpectedly good. I hope they do an European tour too.

 

[Tarkus]

Going in July in they stay together long enough.

 

[jett]

I can't tell if Axl's voice is better or worse than before lol.

It's pretty cool seeing Slash playing a CD song though.

Sounds better to me than it did a few years ago. Probably helps that it looks like he lost about 400 pounds.

I haven't been following. Axl was really heavy?

 

[strafer]

Damn, that sounded good.

 

[Straight Edge]

What's the line up of the band now?

 

[stuminus3]

Slash sounds great as always. It's a shame Axl is aging more like Paul Stanley than Robin Zander though. His range is totally gone.

 

[CelticKnight]

What's the line up of the band now?

From what I've read it's Axl, Slash and Duff (from the original line-up) with the guitarist (Fortus) and drummer (forget his name) from the Chinese Democracy bunch, with a new female keyboardist.

So no Izzy Stradlin, Steven Adler/Matt Sorum or Dizzy Gillespie.

It'll be interesting to see if they end up "covering" a Velvet Revolver or Slash solo song at some point with Axl singing.

Dizzy Reed's still with them as keyboardist (been there since 1990)... the female keyboardist is the 2nd keyboard

Izzy's on good terms with everyone IIRC, just doesn't want to tour FT with a band. My bet is he'll guest on a show or two randomly.

Adler supposedly had back surgery recently and isn't in good shape. I think Axl believes Fortus is better than Sorum and/or likes Fortus better.

 

[tuco11]

With Axl having to remain stationary with a broken foot he sounds much better. lol!! holy shit just watched COMA. Sure his voice gives out at end but it was mostly awesome.

[DTLIONS1013]

Got tickets for Nashville, 6 hour drive but can't wait

 

[Nokagi]

Slash is forever awesome. Axl, not so much.

 

[entremet]

Slash is forever awesome. Axl, not so much.

Aging is tough on vocalists sadly.

 

[Stormwatch]

I bought a ticket to their July show in Atlanta. Hope they survive until then. Breaking your foot at the first show is not a good sign.

Matt Sorum is a drummer. Fortus is taking the place of Izzy.

 

[Delicious Waffles]

Do Axl and Slash acknowledge each other at all?

 

[thefro]

yeah, I meant Ferrer.

Haha, brilliant!

I think the line up is fine, would rather Izzy obviously but Slash is more than good enough. Frank is rather good, i'd take Frank over Matt and take Adler over everyone, because to me he plays the songs better than everyone else drums wise.

 

[Gragen]

Tickets for their last show in San Diego just went on sale yesterday, got 2 of them and very excited about it. Hopefully they're still together by then.

 

[fritolay]

I was wondering this too.

 

[SummitAve]

Hmmmm it doesn't seem that much different than 2000s era Guns n' Roses even with Slash there.

 

[Exodust]

They actually showed up and it was actually good? Holy shit!

 

[Maaaaaardy]

I was wondering this too.

Yes, they did. Not a lot though, however Axl was sat down the entire time as he has broken his foot and Slash obviously stuck to his side of the stage due to his pedals etc.

 

[Zalman]

Man, they sound great. I can't believe this actually happened. Hope they manage to do an album before breaking up again.

 

[tearsintherain]

man, as someone who grew up with GnR, axl's voice is pretty awful now music still is awesome though.

I couldn't really tell from the videos, is Axl still kinda fat? Slash looks really good for his age. Axl must be getting fashion advice from reddit, with that hat.

How was the new T-Mobile arena? Walked around the outside a few times, kinda bare bones and looks small, but seems like the acoustics are good. Heard the Nicki Minaj and Arianna Grand concert the night before was pretty good too.

Ha, I wrote Gillespie instead of Reed, what a brainfart! Can't even remember half the band's names..

Axl has apparently teased Izzy and Steven popping up in the near future, so we'll see what happens. Hope they appear.

 

[Dunedain_Ranger]

Hell yeah now for the fight tonight going to be a long drive home tomorrow

 

[Mixolydian]

Nope, but I'm hitting the arrowhead stadium stop. A friend of mine worked on their debut album and told me he's going to get me backstage, sooooo freaking excited.

 

[PumpkinPie]

The solo in November Rain was terrible, Slash doesn't give a fuck. Axl looks more like Elton John sitting at that piano, make an effort to lose weight for tours FFS!
