Esau. Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Last time they played Hamilton (Jan.), I heard there was a bit of a long break between the opener and their set, but the show started on time, around 10:30-11 (I think) and they played a 2 1/2 hour show. That seems reasonable to me. I still won't be going though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hartamophone Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Would love to go see this current incarnation of GNR, but I'm saving up for Grateful Dead tickets: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybone Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Any word of when tix go on sale?I might just roll the dice with this one. Fluffhead was at the T.O. show a couple years ago (when they came on super late) and said it was a great show. Plus, my wife is a huge fan.

Hal Johnson Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Once again, I'll say what I say everytime Axl comes around. It'll be like seeing the world's best GNR cover band. Where else are you gonna get this stuff live?Plus, looks like they're playing Estranged this time around. That might seal the deal for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevO Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 My first big (arena) concert ever was GNR at Copps circa 1993 or so. It was amazing! Someone chucked a water bottle and hit Axl, he gave the whole crowd the finger - like fanned it across the crowd - then took off. Slash then took an extended solo to finish it off. Haha! Brian May band opened which was pretty awesome too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
