Show starts at 10pm on a Thursday night, which means it really won't start until about 11:30.

Tickets are $98 including all of the fees.

That being said, this guy bought the Spaghetti Incident on the day it came out. Oh yes, I will be trying desperately to get tickets.

I went to a GnR show at the Spectrum in Philly in 1991 right after "Use Your Illusion" came out. Show started at 7pm, Soundgarden was opening act (hadn't heard of them before that but was impressed), they played until about 8pm. GnR didn't come out until 11:30.

So there was a giant video board in the middle of the arena, and the cameras are panning around the crowd. Some chick flashes her tabes on the screen. Place goes wild. Pretty soon every other shot is chick whipping out her tabes. Then security starts throwing chicks out; dudes start getting hostile towards security and each other, a near riot ensues - some how the place calms down some and the rest of the time it's cat and mouse between the camera, tabes and security. This goes on for 3 hours!

Finally, at 11:30, GnR comes on and plays for 3 hours straight, without a break. It was the best show I've ever been to, and I've been going to shows for 25 years.

I have no idea what their shows are like now, haven't been to one since then - sounds like they are still making their fans wait, i hope it's still worth it.

I've seen video clips of GnR shows from the past few years, and the quality of the performances has ranged from awesome to LOLbad.

I LOVE GnR, but given the likelihood of an awful performance, the price, and the possibility of Axl making me wait for 3 hours or more, I'll pass.

Seriously, who makes their audience wait for 3 hours? I'm a grown ass man, dog. I'm too old for that shit.

Some of you are going to be awfully jealous when the surprise of this mini tour is a reunion of Slash and Axl, gearing up for their real reunion in April at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction. It kind of makes sense given that they're making such a big deal out of playing Webster Hall (f/k/a "The Ritz") in New York City.

I'll never say never, and ultimately I think they're leaving too much money on the table if they don't do it, but I really think Slash and Axl will not reconcile. Axl is a monster dick.

in other words, they need the money

So who else is going? Got my tix this morning in presale.
