Here Today... Gone To Hell!

On Wednesday May 17, 2006 before I attended the greatest GNR show ever I attended the matinee of the musical LESTAT. I totally loved the show. I wanted to meet the cast and tell them all how wonderful they were since the show has been receiving terrible reviews that are so not deserved. This show is awesome. Anyway as each actor came out I told them that I loved the show and that I had come to NYC to see GUNSNROSES but that Sebastian Bach had mentioned the musical LESTAT and that was how I knew to get tickets. Hugh Panraro who plays LESTAT has sucha crystalline voice that I told him that he should cover a GNR song like ESTRANGED or DON"T CRY on his Upcoming solo albumn since he played the Phantom of the Opera and these songs are Phantom like. He said , " WOULD THEY LET ME DO THAT? I WOULD LOVE TO" and I said "YOU COULD ALWAYS ASK!" Then Drew Sarich came out, he was super-hot as Armand kind of like a cross between GERARD BUTLER and AXL ROSE, and it turns out that he was at the GNR concert on Monday. Then Carolee Carmello who plays GAbrielle and was just nominated for a TONY award for her role came out and I told her that HUgh Panaro should cover a GNR tune and about coming here to see GNR and she said that some of the cast members were just talking about Axl and Sebastian Bach because they had gone to his concert! I said that i thought AXL would make a great PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. and she said, " I WOULDN"T RULE IT OUT!" In an uncharacteristically bold move I asked all of the male vampires for kisses on the neck and they all graciously obliged me. I was so stoked by this experience? that when I had the good fortune to end up in the front row of Mezzanine 1 right in the center I was dancing and rocking with so much passion that I almost fell over the rail 3 times! Guess I was trying to DEFY GRAVITY like Elphaba in WICKED! :hihi: : ok:

Can you read? She is telling how she talked about GnR and Bach with the cast of the boradway play Lestat which was mention on the Trunk show when Bach asked Axl if he wanted to go see it.

Cool story.. good thing you didnt actually fall.  : ok:

I really think my angels were watching over me! Would have been a cool way to die though! Just kidding, I think it's residual effects of the vampire kisses! :hihi:

Nice story.. Lestat, is that the show Sebastian was talking about on the Trunk show?

Yup.

Cool. I've been trying to remember what show he was talking about. I wouldn't mind seeing that myself, as I am a big Anne Rice fan.

Awesome.? 8) I went to see Guns N' Roses on Monday and went to see Lestat on Tuesday! ;)

I am not a fan of theater.

Axl doing theater is a huge mistake. Huge.

Why? Axl has always said that he would like to try acting.

Axl in the Phantom of the Opera would be interesting.

I agree and I just thought it was totally cool that a Tony award nominated actress thought so too! : ok:

it'd be awesome! I love Anne Rice's books and i'd love to see axl as lestat in a show, i don't know, or doing  phantom of the opera i love that movie too :drool: :drool: i always pictured in my mind axl instead Bratt Pit , for instance, in Interview with the Vampire  :drool: :drool: :hihi:

The crowd would have made your fall bit softer  ;D


Anyways nice to hear you had great time!  ;)

That's true, the guys below me seemed to really appreciate my dancing.I've been studying bellydancing and I was practicing my Shakira moves! ;)

And you had a miniskirt also?  :hihi: Just kidding  ;)

No I was wearing jeans and a black tank top.

Funny, I heard Axl and Baz mention Lestat as well and decided to check out the play while I was in NYC. I knew Elton John had written the songs and that the play was forthcoming, but I didn't know it was already out until they mentioned it. I am a huge fan of those books - so I went and saw the matinee on the 17th also. I thought it was pretty good overall. Hard to condense all that material into one play, but I thought they did a fine job. The actors playing Gabrielle, Louis and Armand were all really good.

I hope that Axl and Baz do go to the show! It would generate some good publicity to offset those undeserved bad reviews! : ok:

Axl, back in the day (specially in the November Rain video), used to look like a lot IMO to Lestat :rofl:

"please to meet you, hope you guess my name" :beer:

Oh my God! You are so right!!! :beer:

Lestat? Like the guy who is Lestat in the play?

I think Axl and Brad Pitt looked alot like eachother when they were younger  :yes: :drool:

You are right! Axl looked more like Louis who was played by Brad Pitt in the movie INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE where GNR did the theme song. When you read the novel LESTAT it makes you fall in love with LESTAT and I could see Axl looking like that character. :hihi:

oh annie and here i thought that i was the only one  :hihi: i pictured that too especially the bites  :drool:i was like.. bite me bite me again and again  :hihi: oh vampires'movies are so damn sexy that's why i love them :smoking:

Aha, ok  : ok:
Think I have to re-read those books :P


And here was I thinking that I was the only one who thought vampiremovies is sexy  :hihi:  :smoking:

I totally think vampires are sexy! I was a huge fan of the shows FOREVER NIGHT, BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER and ANGEL. I really loved the whole BUffy/Spike love affair! : ok:

I am very sad to say that LESTAT is closing this Sunday. I hope that my enthusiasm brought the cast members some joy. I hope that Sebastian Bach gets a chance to see it before it closes! I don't think Axl can since he is in Europe! :'(
