Here Today... Gone To Hell!

JUN. 09: Hey ya'll here's all the latest,

As you may or may not have heard my solo record titled Village Gorilla Head is being released on Sanctuary Records on July 27th. Before going out with The Figgs for two weeks on Aug 4th (EASTCOAST ONLY), I'll be doing a couple promotional shows, one in Minneapolis around July 26th the other in N.Y.C. around July 29th. They should be open to the public but I'll give more details as they come. I will also be adding more shows after the Figgs tour in the coming weeks and will broadcast them here first so...HEADS UP! Also, I may do some shows with Jesse in Europe in September.

WHY EVERY TIME WE GOT SOME "GOOD NEWS" ABOUT THE ALBUM THERE?S SOMETING LIKE THAT TO BUM US 2 SECONDS LATER?
I mean, its obvious that will be nothing in JULY, couse TOMMY will be promoting his album... and after, he?s already "busy" with others things...

I really love him in GNR, but I think is too easy to come with some "obvious news" about CHINESE DEMOCRACY and take advantage and promote his album...


you have all the righ to desagree with me, but just show your opinion.

It doesnt bother me too much. He did say whenever GN'R needed him, he would put his solo stuff on hold. You dont have to worry about it, he is completely comitted to Guns N' Roses.

Tommy and Finck are the core of this new band. Dont worry about it. When the bell rings Tommy will lead the troops

I may do some shows with Jesse in Europe in September.

 :o :o :o :o
well , see you in december guys !!  :beer:
 ;D

Earliest time for gnr activity will be October. That is what the band members have been told. Tommy will do his own thing until he gets summoned as will all the others

Look on the bright side. Tommy is a good musical talent and he has a good solid sensible head on his shoulders, and he also appreciates Axl for who he is and how he operates

I agree....tommy knows theres more money in gnr then in his solo

To mysteron: Do you know that or are you just guessing? And what about those
questions you guys sent Axl a while ago?
Do you have some connections Mysteron?



Sorry if its a stupid question I am new here, just moved from Mygnr.
Nice to bee at a forum with some adults.

It's known

Questions is another thread

so... are we talking about money here ot that band called GUNS N FUCKING ROSES? couse we don?t need another sex pistols type of thing...

so... 3 months of nothing.

G R E A T  

any information on this "activities" to us?

I AGREE!!!!

Of course they are... every time Dizzy are asked about the album, he seams know a litte bit less than we do... Brain don?t do interviews ( I remember just one, and he were saying that his part were already done 3 years ago )... ex-GNR buckethead ( ?? ) don?t have a tongue ... and Pittman, well, who?s pittman anyway?!

so yeah, Finck and Fortus are the core of the band...  ::)

Hey, October seems to be optimistic to me, I was thinking another dead year...plus I get to see Tommy solo and maybe get an autograph!  :yes: Mysteron, I assume you'll let us know when his solo dates are coming up? : ok:

But... do you know what is Axl doing this time (hope you answer this one)...

Do you mean activity as in tour? or activity as in a press release? Like will Axl wait till Oct, when Tommy is done to announce anything, or will he announce something before?

i wonder why minneapolis.....
I live in minnesota and im not complaining, its actually awsome!!!
but why minnesota over like chicago or L.A.
anyhow, i got my plans for the 26th!!!!!! :beer:

Chris is currently on tour with the Village People, and he's scheduled to finish the tour in mid August.

 :rofl:

i was a big replacements fan before I was heavy into GnR.

The replacements were formed in minneapolis.  They built up a fanbase there and it's kind of the home base for them. The song "skyway" is about the skyways that connect the buildings in Minneapolis.

I hope he comes to Philly with The Figgs, that would be awesome!  They kicked ass last time...that's totally cool with me : ok:

Release, sit around a while, make a video
- then tour the fuck out of it (starting 04)  :peace:

Tommy is probably my fave from the new band (apart from King Axl)..

He rocks on stage! Looks lively and shows the crowd what a great time he's having and how much he is into it! He rocks at RIR3!

Jesus... wasn't the band supposed to "get back together" LAST fall!?!?

I always used to think that the making of CD would make for one hell of a book... but now I'm beginning to reconsider. Too repetitive and boring.

It would make a great saga. It would be like STAR WARS.

Episode 4 "A New hope" could be about replacing Slash.

Episode 5 "Empire Strikes Back" Could be about the rebuilding of GnR

Epsiode 6 "Return of the Jedi" return of Axl in 2002.

Then they could go back and do the first 3 chapters. THE AFD era, THE UYI ERA, then just like George Lucas they could wrap up in the 3 chapter what went wrong in 94

A date in Philly is planned for August

Tour is being booked at the moment

Well you have him in september, then brain october, it's rediculous the amount of free time these guys have.. :no:

r u talking about Tommy, right?

Yes rnt I'm pretty sure he means tommy..
 : ok:

This is the article with brain n bucket which carries them through october



Just found this on MTV. com

"Two years after debuting at the 2002 Bonnaroo festival, Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains, featuring Primus bassist Les Claypool, Guns N' Roses drummer Brian "Brain" Mantia, Parliament/Funkadelic keyboardist Bernie Worrell, and former GN'R guitarist Buckethead, are preparing to release their debut album, The Big Eyeball in the Sky, September 7. The group is planning a tour for October"

I'm assuming 'gnr activity' means the activity by the actual members of gnr...

What I mean is, am I correct in thinking that this does not rule out any other gnr happenings/announcements/behind the scenes happenings, etc....

Not that I'm asking for confirmation of any plans...

just whether 'earliest time for gnr activity will be in October' you meant specifically/only just the guys won't be together until then at the earliest..?

Thanks.. hope I'm not being a pest  ;D

edited to add some Tommy luv! hehe
 :love: Tommy :love:

If you read above your post you'll see the concert featuring brain which appears to be set for october, so it looks like november at the earliest..

ah, I see... still... would like to know what Mystereon was referring to by 'gnr activity'

I think it refers to the band getting back together again. My info is a few weeks old though

Of course. And the Figgs (although I prefer the Gentlemen myself. Check out mp3's if you get a chance. Jake Brennan links the two bands)

I hope you are joking

Tommy Stinson and The Figgs return to the Knitting Factory NYC on Sat 14th August 2004.

Tickets are available here; http://www.ticketweb.com/user/?region=nyc&query=detail&event=523249 (http://www.ticketweb.com/user/?region=nyc&query=detail&event=523249)

Mysteron, you're freaking me out in a good way! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D  
I can't wait to see him with the Figgs...
I got to see The Gentlemen play the Harpoon Festival on 6\5 (Boston)--really great to hear that stuff live for the first time...even had Mr. Powhida from The Rudds doing a little backup vocal...Woo Hoo...think the Figgs and Stinson will play Northstar again in Philly...please post when you hear that date in stone! Woo Hoo! :hihi:

Mysteron, I hope you will keep us up to date with the bookings of this tour, I don't want to miss out on any potential Boston, MA area performances :)

I'll try my best but I am kinda busy at the moment, so do keep one eye on Pollstar as well

The venues will bear a similarity to last year (Uptown etc.. ) but they are still yet to be confirmed

Mysteron has returned but shame about no GN'R news

There is no news unfortunately

It could change in an instance though

Mysteron, do you know if Tommy's album will be released in Brasil? I'm really looking foward to his work, but don't wanna have to download the album... :/

Mysteron is like the Oracle from The Matrix for GN'R fans lol you gotta love him though  : ok:

Latest from the Tommy camp;

"Tommy will not be playing with The Figgs.  He will begin touring with Alien Crime Syndicate as his back-up band in late August.  It will be a full U.S. TOUR.

He does have a date being booked now at the Fine Line in Minneapolis for the 27th of July and one in NYC (most likely at Piano's) on July 29th.

His release is a worldwide release but I do not have confirmation on Brazil yet"

-- I'm not sure where this leaves the NY August date which is currently on sale. I will check and give further info tomorrow. Tommy's tours are always a whirlwind of change --

He's in GNR, I wouldn't expect it any other way. ;)

The Knitting Factory date is -probably- not going to feature Tommy Stinson, so please do not buy tickets for this concert at this moment in time.

Jarmo --> It's may be a good idea to remove the Tommy in NY story for the moment

a "full U.S. tour" means "months" ?
well, maybe the first GNR single could be out on chistmans...   :crying:

Thanks dude. Hope I can buy this album ASAP.  :)

Thanks Mysteron, Pollstar never even crossed my mind  :-[

Ok, the Knitting Factory date will -definitely- not feature Tommy Stinson now. The ticket vendor has updated their details (although Pollstar have still not changed their details as yet). I'm not sure what's happened but Tommy's changed his booking agent in the last couple of days

As previously stated, "he does have a date being booked now at the Fine Line in Minneapolis for the 27th of July and one in NYC (most likely at Piano's) on July 29th".....then a full US tour will follow

No FIGGS! :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:

Do you thimk Tommy will come back to the UK because he came last time while on tour because i went to the Birmingham show.

The Fine Line (Minneapolis) date is confirmed for 27th July 2004
