Private dining experience with Achwel at the local Golden Corral? I bet he spends half the meal laid up under the Chocolate Wonderfall.
I wonder how many times during this show Slash thought about killing Achwel. I mean, the guy doesn't need the money so he really must be taking one for the fans.American by birth. Southern by the grace of God.

Perhaps.
The locations and the fairly small amount of dates are such that they might be able to pull it off.
Like, they're playing one date in New England at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass. So, it's reasonable to assume between all the states in New England there would be enough people wanting to see a G n R reunion to fill up the 68,000 capacity.
They're doing 2 dates in Texas, the shows are within 2 days of one another and within a few hundred miles of each other, each stadium seating around 76,000 capacity. But the Arlington one will presumably also be attended by people in Oklahoma and Arkansas...
They're doing one date in Florida, in Orlando at a 70,000 capacity venue. They should be able to draw 70,000 people from the entire state willing to go to Orlando to see that.
Actually, it's smart scheduling far as the locations themselves go: because they are so scattered and the dates are fairly few, assumedly turnout will be good. Like, if they can't sell out stadiums using this strategy, they're never gonna be able to sell out stadiums...at least in the US (I have no idea what their drawing power in Europe or elsewhere would be).
Oddly, it'll be seeing what the attendance of these shows ends up being that is of most interest to me. Because I don't recall Guns and Roses being a band that sold out stadiums in the US as a headlining act...I seem to remember their Illusions Tour sold the best and played to the largest crowds when they were co-headlining with Metallica when the Black Album was peaking.Scramby eggs and bacon.Comment

Fat shamer. If he gets his shit together and doesn't pull his usual bullshit like showing up late and threatening people that he knows would never take him up on his offer to "get in the ring" they might put on some decent shows. I think it would be funny as fuck if he started challenging his foes to pie eating contests to parody his former persona but I don't think that boy came equipped with a sense of humor.Beware of DogComment

No Golden Corral in that town...
But seriously, is this "reunion" that big of a deal? I never was much of a fan so I have no idea if people are going insane over this or not. I mean, I know they had some hits back in the day but were they really all that YUGE of a draw back then?American by birth. Southern by the grace of God.

Actually , there are several Golden Corrals here so Axl can stuff his face .They were that big of a deal back in the day . The last time they played here ( July 2 , 1991) it melted down into a full-fledged riot and Yes , I was there . The ensuing copies of Use Your Illusion I & II both have a gret big , juicy " Fuck You St. Louis !" in the album credits .Comment

It's really too bad they can't get the original guys. I'd be a lot more interested in the original line up.Originally posted by wiseguyComment
