Live Shows, Tours, etc.

[Busty McCracken]

Flying to Brizzie tomorrow to go see Cog & Sleep makes waves as support... pretty far ken excited!

[hellboy]

Interested to hear how Cog go.

[Busty McCracken]

Hoping their set doesn't lean as heavily on sharing space as their previous tours did but aren't overly confident. Either way I'm looking forward to it . They were a killer live band back in the day that seemed to lose a bit of enthusiasm towards the end. Hoping a 6 year break has made them hungry again.

You going to adelaide show?

You going to adelaide show?

Yep, I have my ticket. Liz should be there as well I think.

[Kittaan]

That is a show I would love to see. Sadly, they will likely never make it to the US. Did they ever tour here?

[Busty McCracken]

Pretty sure off memory they played a few club shows when they were over there recording sharing space.

Gig night tonight, most keen. Have a killer time next week with Liz

Adelaide show isn't for a little while - the first set of shows is just Eastern States, and then here in SA in Sept or Oct from memory.

[Busty McCracken]

Ahh That's right, next weekends sydney isn't it. This will be my first decent rock gig since faith no more for me so should be a gooden. Will do a mini review on here afterwards.

[hellboy]

Yeah, been a bit of a dry spell lately for gigs - too many good tours tours skipping Adelaidle. A few coming up over the coming months though...

[Busty McCracken]

You and Liz are in for a treat in September mate. The ol boys have still got it. The energy in the room was absolutely fucking electric and reminds ya how much the band means not only to the fans but also the band themselves. The sheer joy on Lucius face the whole set was great to watch. I wont give any spoilers away but was absolutely stoked with the setlist and extended set compared to the old days.

Sleepmakeswaves were great to finally see and if ya hear of any spare tix to the adelaide show please let me know coz id be on a plane again for it without hesitation.

I'm right there with you on that. I would love to see Cog live. Although, I am seeing a pretty bad ass Australian band next month in Colorado, Hiatus Kaiyote.

Sounds interesting:

Tickets starting at $91.65 sounds relatively cheap for such a gig (though I expect these are nosebleed tickets)

I don't expect many will think highly of these shows, but I reckon I'll probably check it out.

[Ravenpig]

Hm totally forgot they were a thing again. I wonder what kind of reviews they're getting.

The reviews I read was that the shows were pretty good, but I haven't checked out any Youtube footage (I remember pre-reformation GnR was pretty shit).

[Busty McCracken]

Heard good things from a mate that saw Gunners overseas few months back. If I lived in a capital city I'd go for sure, but no chance of justifying the cost of flights etc to get down for it

[hellboy]

Turns out tickets are pretty outrageously priced. $100 for nosebleeds (which don't interest me) and $170 for GA in the "Gold" section, which I expect is the back half of the venue. "Diamond" tickets (presumably at the front) are $360.

[Busty McCracken]

Diamond ticket seems reasonable. One dollar for every minute Axl will be late to take the stage

[Kittaan]

No shit. I made the mistake of seeing GnR about 8 years ago? in SF. Axl showed up a full 3 hours late. I kept stringing myself along... It can't be toooo much longer... And then the show was boring as hell. Would never consider seeing him again.

[Busty McCracken]

Apparently he's finally got his shit together and they're even taking the stage early these days and slaying it for a bunch of old cobbers... I am keenly watching how long he can keep it up for. He's spent an entire career being a fuckwit so surely somethings gotta give.

Yeah those are the main reasons I never bothered with Axl only GnR, but from what I read it's much better this time around. Still, as I said I'm not interesting in spending so much money on the shows, so unless there are cheaper tickets closer to the event I'll probably give it a miss.
