Title: Just met the band in Lisbon!!!
Post by: Christos AG on May 26, 2006, 12:45:54 PM
Hey everyone, we had a wonderful time last night in Madrid, we met Ignatius (who was cool enough to help us with the taxis,thanks man) and the show was great.

But the great news are from today. As we arrived in Lisbon, we were waiting to get our luggages and we suddenly saw Dizzy trying to get those things on 4 wheels which carry your luggage at airports (sorry but I?m really excited right now and I can?t remember the word).

After Dizzy I saw Tommy passing by and we hugged eachother, I hadn?t seen him since 2004.

Then I saw all the other guys (minus Axl) and I asked Tommy if I could get pics with them, to which he replied yes.

Well, basically that?s all, I?m really fuckin happy. Everyone was in a good mood but really tired, which seems logical, as last night?s show ended at 2.20, and who knows what they did after that.

Oh, and how can I forget George Chin!!! I met George Chin and I?m really happy about it cause I love photography and he?s amazing.

Anyway, details when I get back home.

THE GREEKS HAVE INVADED LISBON!

*By we I mean me, mean_machine and Natasa (not a member of this board but a good friend).

We saw everyone (Ron Thal as well, AMAZING guy) minus Axl, and Chris Pittman (who was there but I?m really embarassed to say I didn?t notice him).

I?ll have pics as soon as I get back home, which is on Wednesday. I have some pics on my mobile but I don?t know how to transfer them here...

I saw Jarmo a few hours earlier at the hotel and we?ll all meet later for the Hard Rock pre-show party.

And yes, trolley is the right word, but you?ll have to excuse me as I was really excited and I couldn?t remember the word.

The funny thing is that Dizzy couldnt get it out and I helped him with that... ;D

Isn't that the way he usually travels? The band goes one way and he goes another.  Seems typical Axl to me but I may be wrong.

Hey no prob man...I'm glad you at least made it to the hotel to rest. I don't know if you noticed, but there were like at least 200 people waiting to get a cab by the Taxi stop. You could've waited, at least, a few more hours.? :o

(http://www.gunsnroses.gr/Christos/LisbonMeeting/me_brain_mean_machine.jpg)

There's no picture of me & Tommy (which is logical if you know me).

I also asked George Chin for a pic as I love his photography, but he kindly refused.

He was taking pictures of us while we were taking pictures with the band. The cameraman was also shooting the whole thing, probably (or hopefully  ;D) for the dvd...

You don't chat with the band at the airport while they're waiting for their luggage. I was glad they were kind enough to let me take some pics with them.

However they were really cool and seemed to be having fun even though they were tired from last night in Madrid.

Hopefully the whole tour will go great...

Awesome man. Congrats!

I love how Axl is NEVER spotted travelling with these guys. Remember the pic of them all hanging out in London - sans Bucket and Axl?

That was always the story. Axl has always been travelling alone (at least after the band got famous). So, it doesn't seem strange to me...

Jarmo and Christos!! Hi guys!!....

I.m Chivi. I was with Emiliano and Damian (www.uzisuicide.com.ar ) and I think we met while waiting for a TAXI at the airport. Jarmo, I think I met you at the Hard Rock that same day.

It was really cool to met you both. I got my pictures with the band at the airport too.  I also noticed they were all really tired. However We had a few words with Fortus and Fink. Anyway we had a second chance in Milan. While visiing the city the day after the show, we met Dizzy inside the DUOMO (huge famous Milan?s Church). That was amazing. He was the coolest guy. We had a 10 minutes conversation, and of course we took another picture.
Here they are.
At the airport. With Only 4 hour sleep, I was tired too.

This one was taken outside the church.
