Title: who have you spoke to from the band @ hammerstein Post by: mikegiuliana on May 17, 2006, 04:16:44 AM what band members have you met before or after the hammerstein shows...?
I had a nice in depth talk(asked him lots of questions) with bbft, met bach twice in one night before and after the 14th show, saw axl walk out the back door while chatting with bbft... Going to try and meet them again tonight.. When axl jetted into his suv bbft kind of joked how he isn't coming over because he knows cd questions will start flying :hihi: Title: Re: who have you spoke to from the band @ hammerstein Post by: Pig Vomit on May 17, 2006, 04:44:14 AM Why hasn't anyone who met Axl or another band member the important question of when the album is gonna be released?
Title: Re: who have you spoke to from the band @ hammerstein Post by: BurningHills on May 17, 2006, 04:53:25 AM Met Bumblefoot on Monday night (Hey mike!) - and he was cool as hell.
Bach kinda brushed me off. He only seemed to want to sign/pose for the girls that were hanging around. My friend got his ticket signed only because he basically shoved it in Bach's hand. He did seem to be in somewhat of a rush though, so I'll let it slide. Axl made a mad dash towards the SUV, but the girl next to me said he waved as he was leaving (my view was obstructed and I couldn't see) , so that was cool. Sadly, no-one else from the band hung around on Monday night. They all kinda came out and went right to the waiting cars. They may or may not have waved as I was trying to get Baz to sign my ticket, and by the time I made it back they were already gone.

'Cause Axl wouldn't tell anything new about it ::) Title: Re: who have you spoke to from the band @ hammerstein Post by: Janabis on May 17, 2006, 05:06:09 AM Why hasn't anyone who met Axl or another band member the important question of when the album is gonna be released? Axl already answered that - Fall. Title: Re: who have you spoke to from the band @ hammerstein Post by: BurningHills on May 17, 2006, 05:09:04 AM Let's not turn this into an "when's the album coming out?" thread, guys. Its a cool idea for a thread, and I'm actually interested in hearing about people meeting the band..

Axl already answered that - Fall. I want an exact date. Title: Re: who have you spoke to from the band @ hammerstein Post by: mikegiuliana on May 17, 2006, 05:56:14 AM I asked bbft about cd, he said the fall was looking good :yes:..He just backed up what axl said.. That's the best I could tell you, no sence of asking sebation :hihi:
Cool thing about bbft was he told me joe satriani got him into new gnr, and the fact he is a slash fan was pretty damn coolin itself to me.. He joked to one person you aren't selling this stuff on ebay right??

Title: Re: who have you spoke to from the band @ hammerstein Post by: F*ck Fear on May 17, 2006, 06:10:40 AM Ron looks like the kind of guy that would stop to talk with the fans which is cool. If they ever come back to Canada I hope I get the chance to talk to those fuckers.
Title: Re: who have you spoke to from the band @ hammerstein Post by: mikegiuliana on May 17, 2006, 07:06:24 AM Ron looks like the kind of guy that would stop to talk with the fans which is cool. If they ever come back to Canada I hope I get the chance to talk to those fuckers. he is , he's the fucking people's fan.. More guys should take a page out of his book.. Tonight since we talked about our favorite pizza joint in brooklyn we both frequent I'm going to ask when he usually goes there.. He seemed like the type you could sit down have a beer with an have a slice while talking music.. I really hope being this is the last night axl stops this time instead of making the B line to his suv which is like 5 feet away... Hopefully some others come out too... It would be the cap of a perfect week... I still can't belive I hugged bbft, and that he let me on the opposite side of the barrier :hihi: Title: Re: who have you spoke to from the band @ hammerstein Post by: Butch Français on May 17, 2006, 09:50:55 AM has nobody seen or talked to Brain!??

They may or may not have waved as I was trying to get Baz to sign my ticket, and by the time I made it back they were already gone. The girl next to you was probably me lol - I hung out after the Sunday & Monday shows, talked to Ron (Bfoot), who was sooo nice - and PATIENT with everyone. Got my ticket signed on Sunday by Ron, Robin, Dizzy, & Baz, & got my pic taken w Baz Monday night. They were all very cool with the fans, signing autographs & posing for photos. Monday it seemed like everyone was in a big hurry or maybe just tired, as the only one who really hung around was Ron again. I was surprised that #1 the crowd was not larger & #2 (well maybe not surprised so much as disappointed) that Axl couldn't even be bothered to come over & shake hands for even 2 minutes. There were maybe 15 people, & no one was overly rowdy...maybe tonight, you never know! :hihi: Title: I'm so happy I shook hands with axl and met izzy Post by: mikegiuliana on May 18, 2006, 01:23:52 PM Just had to say it, I know a few others from here were out there.... Who else was lucky enough to meet him?? :beer:
I just can not believe it..... Izzy and axl, axl and izzy..... The chances of that happening again are like one in a million..... It was funny I gave izzy my pen but the cap was on, he signed the ticket with the cap on and gave it bback... I was like izzy the cap man, then he signed it :;) There was fifty things going on at once "sign this, look here ,look there" My hands tocuhed greatness from two gnr members.... I cut out a few songs early so i could meet everyone.... Title: Re: I'm so happy I shook hands with axl Post by: ShotgunBlues1978 on May 18, 2006, 01:25:43 PM Where did you meet him?
Title: Re: I'm so happy I shook hands with axl Post by: mikegiuliana on May 18, 2006, 01:28:31 PM Where did you meet him? back of the venue after the show, he grabbed his light saber and ran around and came over to the fans waiting by the barrier... He shook all our hands and was smiling away... Hope there are more pics... Title: Re: I'm so happy I shook hands with axl Post by: WhatIsItMan on May 18, 2006, 01:37:50 PM Son of a bitch! :rant: lol
Title: Re: who have you spoke to from the band @ hammerstein Post by: moondance_1 on May 18, 2006, 02:24:17 PM spoke to Ron last night,said how much very i enjoyed his playing,he replyed he very much enjoyed playing for me.he seems really sweet,not stuck up at all. :smoking:
Title: Re: I'm so happy I shook hands with axl and met izzy Post by: Mr.Intensity on May 18, 2006, 02:32:34 PM That's awesome you got to meet Izzy, you're one of the most vocal supporters of the original line-up... do you like the new band a bit more now that you seen them four nights in a row? :peace:
Title: Re: who have you spoke to from the band @ hammerstein Post by: pilferk on May 18, 2006, 02:33:36 PM ?

I was surprised that #1 the crowd was not larger & #2 (well maybe not surprised so much as disappointed) that Axl couldn't even be bothered to come over & shake hands for even 2 minutes.? We talked about it a bit, but....given the extended set (which, trust me, I'm not complaining about) and my 3:15 AM train out of Penn....we opted (along with a shit load of the rest of the crowd, it seemed) to go get some grub (breakfast, in my case) at the diner down the street.

I had the same plan, that diner was awesome. If you saw the idiot on crutches that was me. Title: Re: who have you spoke to from the band @ hammerstein Post by: Jonx on May 18, 2006, 03:44:57 PM Spoke to Axl briefly after Mondays show for about a min, but he was getting pissed off drunken idiots swamping him in the club, so went out to get bodygaurds..... from then on he was pretty much unapproachable.
Also spoke to Fink but didnt outstay my welcome, and as usual Bach was as friendly as hell! Jonx Title: Re: who have you spoke to from the band @ hammerstein Post by: Eeebs on May 18, 2006, 03:58:47 PM On Tuesday morning, following Monday night's show, (between 3 and 6 am - yay for finding where their VIP after party was... I wasn't on the guest list, so Axl Rose invited me in... hehe, too awesome!! :)), I talked many people!
I talked to Axl Rose (I finally met my rock n roll hero :)), Dizzy Reed, Bumblefoot (such a nice guy :)), Bumblefoot's business partner (again, another really down to earth person), Robin Finck (hehe... just a few words :)), Robin Fortus, Sebastian Bach, and Rick, the GnR tour manager. What a damn fantastic night. Of course, I would have stayed longer at the party... as it was still going strong at 6 a.m., however, I had to catch my train back to Toronto. Hehe... this is my second after party crash in two years. Not bad :) Title: Re: who have you spoke to from the band @ hammerstein Post by: WhatIsItMan on May 18, 2006, 04:05:31 PM Motherfucker. When am I gonna meet Axl?
Title: Re: who have you spoke to from the band @ hammerstein Post by: younggunner on May 18, 2006, 04:07:54 PM that must have been incredible eeebs!

Some of those guys were annoying (not to mention perverted...). ?But hey, we were able to stay up in first row, thanks to them. ?My back and gut is still hurting though... talk about a rough concert. ? But yeah, if those guys wouldn't have been close to us (meaning, my sister and I... the blond chick is my sister :)), we would have been totally crushed. ? Arrghh... I can't believe I survived the fight before the concert, the mosh pit, the body surfers, the wild pushy crowd. ?It was crazy!! Hey, remember that rose that Axl smelled and then put in his mic holder? ?That was my rose. ?I threw it up on stage for him during Knockin on Heaven's Door. ?Hehe... my claim to fame :) ?

I am just not into the name is all... when izzy came out only like 5 people were out there because the show hadn't ended, I'm so glad I snuck out early.. Chances of meeting izzy and axl again inone day are like one in a million..

Chances of meeting izzy and axl again inone day are like one in a million.. Yeah, I think it's awesome Izzy played, I don't get why some people are saying it is taking credit away from the new musicians to have Izzy come play for a show. It's not like Izzy was out there the whole time or playing on any of the new members original material. Izzy was just coming back to wish an old best friend well and jam on a few tunes he helped write. There was no disrespect to anyone and it that had to be an amazing moment for everyone in the crowd. It seems Axl is damned if he does, damned if he don't...... :peace: Title: Re: who have you spoke to from the band @ hammerstein Post by: GunsGuns on May 18, 2006, 06:48:06 PM On Friday I got Autos from Bumble and Sebastian, on Sunday I also got got an Auto from Bumble(I asked him to sign it Ron) I also got a picture taken with him, Sebastian and DIzzy, I also got Autos from Dizzy and Robin(and should have got one from Richard but Dizzy was using my Sharpie to sign everyone elses Auto :-\
Title: Re: who have you spoke to from the band @ hammerstein Post by: LittleFly on May 18, 2006, 07:30:35 PM I shook Axl's hand too last night (this morning?) One of the greatest moments of my life :love:

Hey, remember that rose that Axl smelled and then put in his mic holder? That was my rose. I threw it up on stage for him during Knockin on Heaven's Door. Hehe... my claim to fame :) Quote hi sis---don't ya already miss NY? All the celebs and after party fiascos? hehe well I got to meet the only celeb I ever cared to meet---Mr.Rose himself. I was in awe...I was trembling inside (and later on shaking a bit) after I met him. I was with my sis, and we found out where to head for the after party...and when Mr.Rose showed up, he was a bit surpirsed to see 5 sexy ladies in the lobby waiting for him :hihi: We gave him 2 roses, and we made some small chit chat, and he let us up to his private party (he even laughed at one of my jokes...or at least snicker....haha). He looked very sharp and well dressed (thank god! haha) and it was really sweet of him that he let us in...I mean, for all he knew we could of been phsyco gunner fans...ok, we ARE phsyco gunner fans, but still...hahaha ;D Other than the man of the hour (or more like the decade) I talked w/ Bumblefoot (so sweet), Richard (very polite) (got photos of them both), quick comment to both Dizzy and Robin. so now my life is complete....(laff)---talked w/ all the past (Slash, Matt, Duff) and present members of GNR...oh...except for Steven and Izzy...onto my next misson now....haha...I kid I kid! Title: Re: who have you spoke to from the band @ hammerstein Post by: Eeebs on May 18, 2006, 07:53:33 PM Hey Bad_Apple (aka, my sister :))
Glad that you had an amazing time in NYC. Wasn't it an incredible trip? Meeting Mr. Axl Rose (hehe... he was rather surprised to see us, as we were rather surprised to see him... it was shit luck, I say :)). Hanging out with rock stars, super skinny models, and table dancing women until 6 a.m.? What an amazing, once in a life time (but knowing our luck... :)) experience. Can't wait to hit the road with you in the name of Gn'R sometime soon. Take care. Title: Re: who have you spoke to from the band @ hammerstein Post by: Mr.Intensity on May 18, 2006, 10:38:57 PM Was the after party at "Butter" again?
