If it's confirmed I'll be there for sure!!!

Am I the only Swiss fan of Guns N'Roses in the world ? ???

no, the other are waiting to know if it's true  :hihi:

I'm also waiting to know if it's true ;D Sent a mail to Hallenstadion and Starticket ;D I hooooooooooooope it's true!

sorry, Lucs, as i wrote in the other thread - not true. I phoned up starticket and Hallenstadion, and they both said they didn't know anything about such an event. The guy at Hallenstadion said they put up all events on their web page as soons as they are confirmed. No Gn'R on the Hallenstadion page. Nothing on the starticket page, nothing in their booking system (said the lady at the phone).
The only source for this rumor is gunsnrosesonline.de, who list only starticket.ch and hallenstadion.ch as "sources" - but as i wrote above, nothing to be found on these pages.

Would have been cool, i live a 10min walk away from Hallenstadion...

Well I sent a mail to starticket and they said they had no information yet and told me to keep checking the website. Maybe they can't say anything yet (let's hope). Well, we'll see if Monday there's tickets on sale on starticket, if not, too bad :(

CONFIRMED!!!

Got a mail from Hallenstadion confirming everything 8)

...i'm gonna be there. first in line. OMFG.  :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o

if anyone needs help w/ accommodation / getting there / ..., PM me.

Does anybody know the capacity of this stadium?

The stadium was remodeled last year. They had a capacity of 11500 for hockey games before it was remodeled, and now they list the capacity as 11000 if all people are seated (conferences). However, at concerts the whole area where the ice field is is "standing places" (no seating), so my rough estimate is 15000 (biggern than 11000 anyway).

Got my tickets :D

Got mine too ! It's selling very well !!!

how do you know that?

When I bought my tickets, the "lady" told me that most of seating tickets were sold and a lot of standing too (it was 45 minutes till it was opened).

But in the French part of Switzerland there is NO advertisement or anything else... I was the first one to bought ticket there... it's probably selling better in the German part of Switzerland !

Ok, she doesn't read this board - but i wanted to mention that my mom will be attending the show as well (she's 64)   : ok:  :rofl:  : ok:

Great!!! ;D Is she going in front of the stage ? :D

Yeah, sort of. I called her because I thought that *maybe* she'd want a ticket for a sitting place (hell my bro and I tortured her with the Gn'R stuff when we were teens, so it's sort of a sentimental thing for her too  :hihi:). She insisted on a standing place to "watch the concert with me". I hated her as a teen cause she wouldn't let me attend the gig in Basel in '93, but now I think she rocks :peace:

I live one minute walking distance from the Hallenstadion.... I got tickets... Woha! Maybe we can meet up before or after the gig...

Ps.: I've been reading this board for years now... My first post... So glorious!

Great, we are now 3 Swiss here ;D I'm still the only one from French part of Switzerland lol !

Well, on GNRFrance.net we're planning to meet before the show and all go in front of the stage together, maybe you can come with us if you want :D We could try to plan something 8)

I Have A Ticket  :beer:

That's actually not true, Lucs. I'm originally from Geneva, but I'm studying in Z?rich now... so here goes the reason for living in Z?rich!

But in any case it'd be great to do something!

Great Keleko !! So I guess you speak french ? If so, you could come on GNRFrance forum http://www.gunsnroses.ch/gnr to talk with us ! There are really few swiss french speaking fans out there ;D

Well, we're planning stuffs on GNRFrance forum, I'll keep you up to date.

Hey Lucs, I may be wrong but are you going to both the Zurich and Milan shows? I'll be there too? : ok:

Yes I'm doing both 8)

HI Leute
also ich machs mal auf deutsch ...

ich hab mein ticket YUHU..aber leider sitzplatz (gut zum recorden :)
also wie siehts denn aus gibts nen fantreffpunkt oder ne afterhouer oder oder oder...?

ihr k?nnt eu ja melden.....ich komm aus Ravensburg also 1.5 hrs away

==> for the non-german-speaking:
Hi everyone, I'll write in German.... I have my ticket, yeehaw.. sadly it's only a seating place (good for recoring :) . How are you guys organised - is there a fan meeting point or an afterhour or, or, or, or...?

We have not yet figured out when/where to meet. I personally suggest Burger King for meeting before (cause you can eat, the place is big enough, and they're not as fucking expensive as the pubs in the area. and yes, they do sell alcohol). You can't miss it, it's right next to the train/tram station "Bahnhof Oerlikon" (tram line 11 or any train that stops in Oerlikon). Hallenstadion is walking distance from there.

Meeting after the show is gonna get complicated, cause most pubs close at 12 during the week. Some bars in Langstrasse (red light quarter, good for finding drugs, cheap brazilian chicks, and trouble of all sorts) should be open for a longer time, but i can also try organise a bar in Oerlikon which will open for a gunner meeting. how many would be in?

Keleko and I are organising an after-party. Depending on how many plan on attending, we will plan the location (it will be walking distance either way). So please post in this thread whether you will be coming or not (similar to the Dublin-quote-yourself-to-death-thing).


Of course, people from other boards are very welcome to attend as well :) .

We can provide a mattress or at least a roof over your head and some hot water for approx. 10 people in our flats. First come, first serve (--> PM me if you need a place to crash).

I won't be able to stay after the show (I have to get back to Lausanne cause I have class the day after :P).

But we could meet before the show and stay all together during the show ! I'll be at the Hallenstadion around 14-15h, we'll try to gather as much fans from GNRFrance as we can :D But it'd be cool to meet some people from heretodaygonetohell too !

If I knew you were registered here tonya I would have talked to you at Gilby show :D Hehe !

I have approx. 5 standing place tickets to sell. They cost me 65.- CHF, and that's what I'm selling them for. PM me, first come first serve.

If you have a friend who wants the ticket - they can have it for the same price, they should either register themselves and PM me or beat you up until you PM me for them ;) .

I'm gonna be away from today (Tuesday) night until Sunday night (Novarock), so I am sorry for slow replies. I'll be online some time tonight to check back.

I will be on business in Z?rich on Wednesday the 21st of June.
I was wondering how to find out in which Hotel the Band is staying. Maybe they are in the same as I am...
Does anyone know how I could find out?
Thanks
Speedy

I have no idea... I'm not even sure they'll stay in Zurich for the night... I wouldn't be surprised if they go back to Paris as they'll be playin' in Belgium 3 days later.

I just saw the following on the page of the promoters (good news productions): The show starts at 19:45, not 20:00.

That's the text they have on their page:

Rock Giants Guns N' Roses are back
The phenomenal rock giants Guns N' Roses, one of the biggest bands of all times, are confirmed for a concert in Zurich's Hallenstadion on Wednesday, June 21st 2006. Live appearances of Guns N' Roses have been an extrem rareness in the past decade, and Free & Virgin and Good News are extremely delighted to announce the exclusive and only 2006 concert of this rock band. With this concert confirmation and the also announced, long waited-for new Guns N' Roses album, this is going to be an extraordinary year for Guns N' Roses themselves as well as for their devoted fans! Guns N' Roses' singer Axl Rose says "England and Europe have always been very special for me. After our last great concerts we are all excited and looking forward to playing for such a phantastic audience. It is an honor and a privilege for me, which none of us looks upon as a matter of course. We are all looking forward to seeing you again this summer!"

CAMERAS ALLOWED!
I also just phoned the promoters: Small cameras (ie. non-professional ones) are allowed in the stadium.

Tonya, at what time are you going to the Hallenstadion ? I guess I'll be there at 3-3.30pm !

I have to teach a lesson till 3 at the university, i think i'll cut it as short as i can and then run for the stadium. It's gonna be about 3 to 3:30 pm with me as well.

Teach at the university ? ??? Wow ! Well, we probably meet there 8) Cool !

I bought my ticket yesterday, seating one unfortunately, but hey nothing's perfect :D
Can someone tell me how far the train station is from the stadium?
If I can walk until there maybe?

Yes, you can walk. Here (http://www.hallenstadion.ch/pdf/Lageplan.pdf) is a .pdf of the plan. If you are arriving by train, simply get off at "Bahnhof Oerlikon" or "Hauptbahnhof", and take tram no. 11 towards "Messe/Hallenstadion". Tram no. 11 leaves from "Bahnhofstrasse" in front of the main station ("Hauptbahnhof"), or right in front of the train station in Oerlikon (Oerlikon being closer to the stadium). Your train ticket is valid on the tram. Get off at the terminal station "Messe/Hallenstadion", and you're right in front of the stadium.

I have seen quite some tickets for sale on ebay and ricardo.ch, also for standing places. You need an account to bid though, it takes a few days to get one.

Awesome! Thanks so much for all the details!! And I would bid but, I really don't know how it works and anyways, I already bought one, and it won't be the last GNR concert so.. but thanks a lot for the info!!? ;D

Does anyone know at what time the show is supposed to start?
Also, are Avenged Sevenfold still the opening act?

May seems irrelevant but not for me 'cause I'm gonna travel to be there and maybe get in Zurich just a short time before the show begins...

Thank you? :-*

The promoter's page says the show starts 8pm. The Avenged Sevenfold homepage lists a gig in San Francisco on that day, so if there is an opener, it won't be them.

thanks so much tonya? :)

so I guess unless they announce another opener, I'd better be there at 8pm...good to know!

And Bullet for My Valentine will be in Germany saturday. Any News? :love:

Just phoned the promoter again:
There will be another support act starting 19:30, they say a homepage update (www.goodnews.ch) is underway.

Update: Shakra (http://www.shakra.ch/english/index.htm) will be supporting Gn'R tomorrow. Whoever that is, I'm not into the Swiss metal scene.
Note that the show is now scheduled to start 19:30, not 20:00. source (http://www.goodnews.ch/events/event.aspx?id=1761) (the text there says you cannot give back your ticket safe for if you're considered a "case of hardship"(?) like you can prove that you had already booked some holydays that you can't postpone &  stuff like that. In that case you could have sent back the ticket until yesterday (Thursday the 29th). )

Today's the day 8) Cool ! 8)

Ok, this is gonna take a while. So I put some keywords before every paragraph, and if you're not interested you can skip.

queue
Got in line around 3, there were already some ppl waiting. Was with Keleko and a friend of his from Ljubljana, and I also met Lucs and his friends (that was your Swiss flag Axl wore, right?).

security
Security was the most disorganised, uninformed, power-trippy and incompetent bunch of housewives I've ever seen. I can elaborate on that, but won't bore you now.

pit, photos, promoter
Anyway, they finally opened gates some time after 6, and I ran for 1st row. There was a pit with wristbands, and we got 1st row center. The stage was not as high up as eg. in Dublin or Novarock, where you couldn't see half the stage because that thing in the middle is in the line of sight. So would have been really great if I could have taken my camera in. Which I couldn't. I had called the promoter and asked, and they said it was ok to bring cappy cameras (see my post in this thread). And like 2 minutes before gates open the security dude says no cams whatsoever allowed, only phones. Thanks for that :rant: . So I left my camera at the wardrobe. Keleko's friend took some pics with her phone (mine is too crappy), and maybe someday we figure out a way of how to transfer them to thenet.

opener (Shakra)
Shakra were really cute. They were soooo happy to have the opportunity to play one of the biggest stadiums in Switzerland and to open for Gn'R :-) . One of their guitarists seemed to be completely daunted and hardly moved. At some point the singer asked us to all raise our hands so that he could take a picture :hihi: . The sound was ok.

official pics, stage setup
since Gn'R were late, I started to talk to some of the photographers who were waiting. They told me that only photographers from daily newspapers were allowed, no agencies. I specifically asked about the "all your copyright are belong to us" contract, and they didn't know anything about it. So I'll see that I get some of the papers & scan the pics that we have at least a few from the 1st 3 songs.
The stage was smaller than the ones I'd seen before, but I think that was good. Never an empty space anywhere, always something to look at :) (problem is with at least 5 of the 8 guys running in all directions, you never know where to look :P ).

setlist
gn'r finally took the stage with the usual songs. There were no surprises in the setlist (check out the updates thread in the main Gn'R section, I sent updates to Jarmo). Since they started about 40 mins late and probably had to stop by midnight, i found the gig rather short. No Madagascar, no Rocket Queen, no CD, ... .

axl
Was in good mood, talked very few. Sometimes he said something, but it was inaudible (at least from where I was standing, I got a good listen of the bass though :P ). Joked around with the band (Tommy was clapping his hands over his head and Axl came out on stage, watched him, and started jumping up an down with the "jumping jack" exercise. Voice was on the ok side, but have heard him stronger. Might have been the mix, but also some of my friends who were farther in the back said they could hardly hear him. He also wore only one earpiece, the other was hanging round his neck. Safe for that, I'm tempted to say "as usual" (clothing, moving, energy, snakedancing :drool: , mood), but that would not be suitable. He did a great show!

"the band"
Richard wore a scarf round his neck and a jacket in the beginning and stripped to no-shirt during the show  :drool: :drool: .  In between, he was dressed all in black, like Novarock. Seemed to have himself a blast, his solo was great! The best of him I've seen so far!

Robin was also hot (yes, he also took off the jacket and was dressed all-white safe for the Addams-Family print on his shirt, the stockings, and the ... whatever it is. A skirt? That thing was red and black. The stage was very close to 1st row, so I got a good look at him. I have never seen someone more into what he's doing. It's as if he can physically feel the music, not just hear. Great solos also! Though my friend joked that probably Richard and Robin had a marital quarrel because they weren't drooling at each other during "Beautiful" as much as they had been at Novarock :hihi: . But it was also great without the drooling, some people even sang along :) .
He came down to 1st row once, and after the show (like after they had taken a bow and stuff) he ran down to 1st row again and just hugged the fans that were standing there and then ran back up.

bbf was wearing the red cap you've seen on other pictures, and sometimes an army-green and also kinda army-style cap. Someone asked in the other thread about his guitar, yes he did use the foot guitar for his solo. He also was playing with the fretless guitar (his homepage lists the guitars he has, you can see a pic of it there), but I forgot which song it was. At one point during the show he came to the front, and I threw a kiss at him, and he threw one back (now *that*'s the info you've been waiting for :P ). We also noticed his beard: He's shaved it such that when you look from underneath at his chin it's a stlyised figure of a man :-)
I never get his footguitar solo, I'm just not that much into the shredding thing, but don't cry was killer again. I've said it before and I'll say it again: The dude rocks!

Tommy - it's so sad there's hardly ever a spot on so that you can see the fucker! He jumps around a lot, bangs his head a bit, kind of a one-man-party (safe for when he's sneaking up behind Robin :hihi: ). He's very much into it! I saw him conferring with Axl a lot in between songs, seems like he's the conductor or something. As I was standing in front of where they probably had the subwoofers, I had a great listen to his playing - awesome!

Dizzy was the first one to lose the shirt (yes, also the temperatures were hot), and... maybe he should pull up the pants just a tiny bit, but that's a guess :hihi: . Veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery good solo! The crowd LOVED it, just plain awesome!!! In good mood, too :-) . Chris was wearing what appeared to me a brazilian soccer shirt (it was red and black, with some print on the chest - but since I'm neither brazilian nor into soccer, don't hang me for that). He also lost the shirt rather quickly :-)  (though you never get to see what he looks like, right?).

Frank - great on drums, didn't hear a single mistake, didn't see him behind the drums though, so I can't say if he went shirtless too ;) . He has  a slightly differen drum setup than Brain (from what I the thing looked like, I don't know shit about drumming to be honest :-/ ).

They all rocked big time, from start to the end! My friends now finally understand me at least, and I think I drew some more people into world's most unpredictable religion :hihi: . The crowd was very loud, sang along every single line (even the new songs). Single shows are so much different from festivals in that way! I'm looking forward to the reviews in newspapers tomorrow (and we'll see which journalist was at the same show I was at...).

Aftershow & Backstage
A friend of mine had caught a guitar pick (he thinks it's Robin's) which he gave to me (thanks Krusty!), and then Lucs walked up to me and handed me his VIP-backstage sticker which he had gotten, since he had to run home. Thank you SO MUCH for that!!!!!! I owe you lots of :beer: for that, man! So I had the sticker, and my camera outside the building, and noone could tell me where to go with that sticker. So I asked around until some dude told be to go back to the concert area, where I met Gio (the Gn'R security dude). He "knows" me from the Gn'R gig I have been to (well from saying hi and stuff), so I asked him what to do. He took me behind a door and told me to wait there. So I stood in the catacombs of a huge stadium, have no idea where to go (aisle to the right? aisle to the left?) , where i can go, or what to do, and noone expecting me to be there (Lucs should have been there, after all!). I tried my luck with the aisle to the right cause the door there was open and I saw Richard and Robin there. So I walked up to them, and asked if they had a pen and if I could have an autograph. Then the security dude there saw my pass and told me I wasn't allowed to be there, so while I backed up through the aisle with said security dude in front of me, Richard was following him with a pen, and signed my pass (thanks!). I think he and Robin had come straight from the shower or something, so I didn't "talk" to Richard (Robin had disappeared) and just went back to my post between the aisles and waited.

It was the exit that lead to the busses, so I figured that at some point the band would just walk past me. Then I phoned my friend and gave her my wardrobe ticket through the fence, hoping to get the cam before the band came. Right after I had given her the ticket, Gio walked up to me and told me to follow him. On our way I briefly met Richard, who was already leaving for the bus. He took me to the band's catering, like, he opens a door, shows me to enter and I nearly step on Tommy's feet and Dizyy sits in front of me and everyone stares at me like "Hi....??" I really didn't have the slightest idea of where I was, who the other people in the room were (safe for Tommy, Dizzy, and Frank), how to act, or what to do. Dizzy was signing some autographs for the blonde next to him (who looked like she was suffering from an overdose of self-tanner, wore a white thing that I first identified as a net for a scubadiving tank but then decided she called that a shirt, and who found it hard to work a digital camera later the night), so I thought that I would just slip in my ticket for him to sign as well (I still had no pen, and no camera). There was another blonde at that table, and beer, so I didn't want to disturb him any more (after all, what do I have to say? "Great solo"? They probably notice if I say that to everyone, and second, ... err... what answer would I expect? "great you shut up during November Rain, I can't stand it when people who can't sing do"? So most of the time I just shut up and watched.

When I turned around, I saw bbf standing right behind me (he's really not that tall, hehe). I talked to him for a while - he's really such a nice and funny guy!!! Most was just "about God and the world", he said he'd love to work on an upcoming Gn'R record, but that he didn't know if that was the plan ("I hope they don't kick me ;-) "). He also wore a shirt that read "my name is Ronald and your name is douchebag" :hihi:.

Tommy joked about the fact that the tickets for the show were actually pink (see pics in this thread) "Have you seen this? They sell pink tickets for a rock show!!!". He didn't say much and seemed to only be waiting for everyone to hop on the bus, so I left him alone. For some reason, he had *two* folded sunglasses in his shirt's neckline.

I must say that everyone was *very* friendly, introduced themselves (bass & drum technicians), asked my name n' stuff (I guess erveryone just thought I was with some of the other guys :hihi: ). Talked to them for quite a while, at some point Del James walked up to me and asked if he could bring me a beer (I said I didn't drink, but a diet coke would be fine, and could keep myself from asking whether I may fall on my knees and kiss his feet for the "without you" story ;-) ).

At some time, Robin came in (he wore a Poncho and a hat), and he also signed my ticket. Frankly, he scared me a bit... I mean, he's the nicest person and stuff, but I just felt a little intimidated for some reason. He didn't stay long, but I have to say he has the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen (he kinda walked up close).

Beta was also there for a short while, but I didn't talk to her (I didn't want anyone to figure out I wasn't with anyone and getting thrown out). She has actually blonde, not white/grey hair as you could think from some of the pictures.

I didn't talk to Frank (he was busy with some of his guests), but got an autograph when he was leaving. Chris also was there and made a shrews comment about my shirt (I wore the HTGTH thing again). I didn't get it, and neither did he (somehow, HTGTH seems to be a name people know, but they don't know what it is exactly). He also said that he didn't go on the Internet, so that's probably why ;) .

Then some dude came in and shouted for everyone to leave ("we have a schedule to keep"), cause they needed to get on the bus to Nijmegen, so my time there was over, Dizzy wanted a hug before he left (even though we hadn't talked), and that was it basically. I hopped on my bike and joined my friends again at a pub, went to sleep at 6 in the morning and got up some time this afternoon. But considering I had to fly or ride trains forever for the other shows before I could write  a review, I think I was fast enough.

tonya is now a *very* happy gunner, thanks to Lucs (!!! can't thank you enough!!!), and Gio (i just don't know how to thank him...).

Picture-taking was forbidden, but I took some of my ticket and of the wristband (here (http://bkatrin.fotki.com/2006/hallenstadion/)).

Cool !! I'm so happy that you got to meet the band !! Too bad for me I couldn't stay there, but well, the show was really great 8)

Yup ! I threw it on stage and he "wore" it and everything it was so cool ;D ;D

About Axl's voice, it was pretty hard to heard it from where we were (front of the stage). But I got some pieces of videos (from German forum http://www.gunsnroses-forum.de/ and we can hear it very well !

I got to touch (:D) Robin Finck at the end of the show while he went to hug someone in the audience just next to me ! A friend of mine slapped his ass lol ;D

LMAO  :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:



Tonya, thanx for great review! 

Wow thanks tonya_ytzerman great review and backstage story! :beer:

thnaks Tonya....again you provided a great review : ok:

god tonya u?re just fucking lucky!! how cool girl! :peace:

GOOD TICKET.. LUCS

As promised, here are the reviews from the local newspapers. The pictures are shit, Tages Anzeiger even used a picture from Roskilde (this one: http://www.hs.fi/kuvat/iso_webkuva/1135220494752.jpeg ).

Review from Neue Zuercher Zeitung (translation, it's not my fault they can't spell Gn'R correctly):

From TagesAnzeiger (translated):

(we got one more...)
Aargauer Zeitung (translated):

Well, journalists always talk about the same shits, but at least they liked my Swiss flags ;D

Why can't they tell it as it was. Listening to them, for someone who hasn't been there, sounds like people were disappointed and bored or something which wasn't the case at all. Journalists ::) .... they really should get their asses in queue to get in the ring :hihi:

Btw, Tonya, it's Karine (Keleko's friend) I just wanna say how happy I am you could meet the band backstage! It's like one of us got in there, ya know? And I honestly believe you deserved it with all the following around you did... and still do as you're going to London right? Awesome : ok: By the way I loved your review and man all the details you noticed :o :rofl: Oh yeah and you shouldn't expect much of my pics cause I think all in all I only took 5 and they're not great. Which sucks but hey, I'm sure people took some. Though I haven't seen them yet (nor the official ones). I remember a french guy on my left having an awesome cellphone, I think he was filming so yeah, there has to be some pics out there. And I really wanna thank you again for keeping us in front. I think I'll never be able to thank you enough for that. I so thought I'd be seating on the east wing so really, it was a dream come true... just to sound a little americanish, as we're the 4rth of July, god bless you :yes: :rofl:

Lucs, we talked a little before the concert. You shown us (Keleko, Tonya, Pink Floyd & I) your magic backstage pass :hihi: I'm really sorry to hear you couldn't go there, and I find it really generous of you to enable another fan to replace you? : ok:? Of course, how could I miss the throwing of the Swiss flag at Axl! That was a.w.e.s.o.m.e.!!! You must be so proud, everyone saw it and loved it. (I wonder what's become of the flag now :confused:) Just like this guy who wanted Axl to autograph his tatoo. I think it was him who threw the sign onstage at the end of the show.. but unfortunately, it fell in the hole. Shame shame shame, more luck next time, I hope..

I really believe we should have wrote that "Axl, bite me" sign, he would have read it and comment on it for sure, and we'd be laughing our asses off. Too bad we didn't... hey Tonya, you should do it in London :yes:

Another special thanks goes to Andre - otherwise known as.. Pink Floyd - lol, for keeping us informed of the football match result. And the french guy on my left for the beer!

Keleko, last but definitely not least: I OWE YOU BIG TIME!! For the shelter, the company, the ticket exchange, the food, etc.. thank you just doesn't do you justice!!!

Oh yeah, and as a quick ps, thanks to that band called GNR?
:hihi:
Seriously, for making it happen!!!
I finally got to see the Jungle, I finally knocked on Heaven's door and Zurich as a one night Paradise City did just fiiiiine!!

:peace:

I noticed some more. The most hilarious thing was when the band started to play a song, and then Robin ran (like, darted) offstage and then ran back onstage with his guitar (like "oh fuck, i need a guitar to play this song").

Yeah, I saw that too, and Gio was watching him, but didn't take away the thing. I was waiting for that...

Btw, Lucs, what did you write on the flag?

Yeah. And someone handed Axl a letter (like, in an envelope). :confused:

Probably not, I don't want to get kicked out of the arena ;)

Mmmmh... you have redhair ? If so I see who you are :D But I don't remember if we talked in French or English ;D


Yeah it was really cool ! Here's a video someone posted on gunsnroses-forum.de : http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=6B5BB43D40A5727B

You can see Axl with the Swiss flag ! I love how the crowd just scream when they saw Axl with the flag !! It's so cool !!! They hanged the flag to the little place where Axl was always going between songs ;D
Tonya, we wrote on the top : GNRFrance.net, on the bottom : www.gunsnroses.ch, we didn't know what to write in the middle, so we all signed it, but we signed it when we were already in the Hallenstadion so I haven't been able to make you sign it :P Sorry :(
Oh, I added "PLAY TWAT" on the left side lol ;D


Lol !! It would have been fun yeah, next time ;D We'll see if he stills remember it ;D

Doesn't look very professional, now does it? :rofl:


Oh so that's what it was! Well he didn't pick it up, just gave it a strange look for a sec and walked away... that is if we're talking about the same thing.

Yes the red headed girl would be me and we spoke in french? ;D

Fantastic!! I love the reaction too! It's cool that this was filmed from the back, so we can hear Axl's voice better and the reaction from the crowd as well.. we were amazing : ok:


Yeah! I screamed as well as if it was my country's flag he had just picked up :hihi: You can't just stay numb to that.
Btw so cool of you to remind him to play TWAT. It's my favourite new song and I was really hoping to hear it that day? :-\

Yeah it'd be nice uh :D

Alright so I see who you are ;D You should come on http://www.gunsnroses.ch/gnr , it's really cool there ;D

Yeah, from the back Axl's voice was much better. From where I was (in front of Finck and Stinson) I could hear very well Robin's Guitar and Tommy's bass but could barely hear Axl's voice ! But I could see all the band very well ;D


It's my fave too, with Irs, and Better, and... lol... I still can't choose ;D But I really love TWAT ! Too bad he didn't see that ;D

Thanks for the link, I registered there not so long ago ;D
I was pretty much in front but I still couldn't hear much of Axl :/
Anyone understood the things he said?
Better & IRS rule!!! At least he played these two ;D

The first thing he said was something like : "It's great to be here tonight, I'm glad I've made it...some brothers from Scandinavia wanted to keep me all for themselves "? ;D

wow my first post and this was also my first show it was fucking great and thx u lucs to let me sign on the swiss flag... i could stand in the first line a bit on te right side . rock on ! domi_
