J, thank you, again, to you and your wife for allowing me to see the show through the FB videos!  It was way better than any of the Periscope feeds!

I didn't know she was streaming it until a half an hour in! I just uploaded the videos on youtube now. They don't seem to look as I thought they would. The audio is great though. I wonder if the video portion was degraded a bit because it was streaming? Dunno. I admire her shoulder strength immensely, especially for filming an Opus like Coma or November Rain.

It looks like some kind of futuristic-alternate-universe-Axl. More eccentric and crazy than ever, like some sort of rock n' roll Colonel Kurtz, ya know? Sitting in what appears to be a throne, while the guitar players come up and play to/around him. He's getting his ass wheeled off stage so he can still change outfits, and people bring him towels to wipe himself down etc. It's a spectacle in its own right. 

 

 

Does someone feed him grapes?

So yea, go see this. 

 

Did you enjoy it enough to keep going, or are you still gonna' call it a day after this show?

The Missus said I'm full of it, but I'd probably not go again anytime soon. I was at my saturation point the last time they were here. 

 

On a side note, I met a few people around me who got comped tickets from the casino they were staying in. For either gambling or being high rollers I guess. One guy had never been to a concert before and didn't even know who GnR was. The other couple were from LA and while the man knew/wanted to see GnR, she had no idea. After the first song, she left. She came back once and left again, and then he followed. I kind of expected that, but not so early. Also noticed a couple of others, where the woman left with the man in tow. Sucks to be those guys (and expensive too.) 

 

There was a really funny moment walking around the venue. I was behind a guy dressed as Slash, who came across another guy also dressed as Slash. The both looked at each other and pointed, like woah dude, no words and kept walking. haha

Axl's new look reminds me of an American white trash version of Van Morrison. Must be the hat. It's very odd.

Great pic. Guess he's happy that the cancer went into remission...

How can someone not know who GnR is?

How can someone not know who GnR is?

I've met plenty of people who have heard the name, but couldn't tell you a single song. Of course they've heard the appetite staples, but never associated them with GnR.

Why can't Trump deport THOSE people?

Desperate 30-somethings are spending thousands on liposuction for Coachella


#iThing #word

[Mr. Roboto]

Before heading to the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, Calif., this weekend, the 33-year-old divorced mother of two blew $20,000 in preparation. Her clothing alone for the weekend — a “sick” outfit featuring a vintage Guns N’ Roses T-shirt, YSL army jacket, denim cutoffs, corset, thigh-high leather boots — was $8,000. She spent thousands more on Botox, lip injections, boxing classes and a personal trainer who helped her drop 10 pounds in advance of the three-day-long concert in the California desert. In the month leading up to it, she even gave up alcohol and went vegan to get in shape for the debauchery to come.

 

“Everything’s about Coachella,” says Mirmelli, who started going to the desert festival after needing to cut loose following her divorce six years ago. This year is her fifth time attending.

 

“[Getting ready for it] doesn’t have to be a full-time job,” she says. “But I’m making it one.”

 

 

I'm shocked that somebody like this is divorced....shocked!

The video portion looks great!  Honestly, the best audio and video of all that I was watching.  I had a couple different feeds up through periscope and ustream, and Nina's was the best.  So, I just kept watching for hers and then would go with that.  Great job!

AC/DC Confirm Axl Rose Is New Lead Singer, Joining Band on Tour

 

The rumors have been confirmed: Just hours before Guns N’ Roses are scheduled to take the stage for their triumphant reunion gig at Coachella, AC/DC formally announced that – before GN'R’s Not in This Lifetime Tour kicks off – Axl Rose will first join them as vocalist for the remaining dates of their Rock or Bust trek.

 

“AC/DC will resume their Rock Or Bust World Tour with Axl Rose joining on vocals,” the band announced in a statement Saturday. Rose will take the place of longtime AC/DC vocalist Brian Johnson, who was forced to abruptly quit touring with the group or risk “total hearing loss.”

 

“AC/DC band members would like to thank Brian Johnson for his contributions and dedication to the band throughout the years. We wish him all the best with his hearing issues and future ventures,” the band said in a statement Saturday. “As much as we want this tour to end as it started, we understand, respect and support Brian’s decision to stop touring and save his hearing. We are dedicated to fulfilling the remainder of our touring commitments to everyone that has supported us over the years, and are fortunate that Axl Rose has kindly offered his support to help us fulfill this commitment.”

 

The band continued, “The European stadium tour dates begin on May 7 in Lisbon, Portugal and run through June 12 in Aarhus, Denmark as previously announced. Following this European run of dates with AC/DC, Axl Rose will head out on his Guns N’ Roses, ‘Not In This Lifetime’ Summer Stadium Tour.”

 

AC/DC added that the 10 U.S. shows postponed by Johnson’s sudden departure will also be rescheduled with Rose handling vocals.
