Re: Reunited GUNS N' ROSES To Play New T-Mobile Arena In Las Vegas
According to Billboard.com, the reunited GUNS N' ROSES — featuring singer Axl Rose alongside guitarist Slash and bassist Duff McKagan — will be one of the first acts to play the new T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, set to open April 6. The band is also negotiating with promoters to play as many as 25 stadiums in North America this summer. For the tour, GN'R is said to be asking as much as $3 million per show, with tickets topping out in the $250 to $275 range.
Meanwhile, The Pulse Of Radio reports that the instrumental members of GUNS N' ROSES — including Slash, McKagan and more recent drummer Frank Ferrer — are rehearsing for the upcoming reunion shows without Rose. The frontman has yet to join the group in the rehearsal studio and it's not clear at the moment which other members are also present, if any.
Slash told The Pulse Of Radio a while back how his relationship with Axl disintegrated during the final years of the classic GUNS lineup. "His sort of m.o., as far as the band was concerned, over time got so exaggerated in the rock star sense or whatever and he became such a dictator and this and that and the other, that it was impossible for me to work with him, because I'm not the kind of person that takes orders, you know," he said.
Ahead of April's headlining slot at the Coachella Music And Arts Festival, GUNS N' ROSES is rumored to be planning a secret show in the Los Angeles area next month as a warm-up.
Although neither Slash nor Duff McKagan played on the 2008 GUNS album "Chinese Democracy", songs from that set are reportedly being rehearsed and will be performed.

Media trying to throw a wrench in the rekindled relationship already huh?
Of course...they have nothing else to talk about since we haven't (as usual) been getting official updates from the band...

Vegas arena will hold 20,000. That is the tour they should be doing, not stadiums. They should be able to easily sell out arenas at 20,000 per show and you could still get big money doing it.

If this is the case, I am definitely there.
I live in Vegas and loathe going to the strip.. but that is where the shows are.
Saw Motley's last Vegas show at MGM a few weeks ago. Soundgarden/NIN at Planet Hollywood back in summer of 2014.. and now - hopefully - GnR at the new Arena in 2016.

They would have posted that either way.

This may be why they are avoiding interviews right now. I don't blame them. I said they should shrug off the "war" and Axl not go into great detail on why he did a 180 with all of his harsh comments and now I really think they should avoid it.
It just isn't necessary.
Billboard was right all along. Now that the LV show has been confirmed, I hope they announce those stadium dates soon.
