Here Today... Gone To Hell!

some one requested for updates already so i thought id seperate the two shows into single threads


updates for 29th here!!!!

ROCK ON GNR


(sorry anythinggoes, i thought id seperate them to avoid confusion)

They have released more tickets today.  So if anyone, is still on the fence, and does not want to risk buying tickets from a broker, they can get very good tickets on-line for will call, or at the gate.  They are in the "S" sections, which are handicap accessible.  Hope that some out and about on Sat. night in London can snag these.  Enjoy.

it's times like this when you wish you were friends with the guy who invented the concord ;D

what the fuck is that supposed to mean? so he could fly you? why does he have to be the inventor to do that?? ???

CD 2006, I think dolphin just wanted to say he wished he could fly to hearthrow as fast as possible so that he would see the show with the tix released today.

To the bastards who are attending, enjoy the show to the max.  :D

So its around 7:00 pm there right? ?Man I'm really gonna miss this tour when its over. ?2 more shows and then fingers crossed for the announcement about US dates. ?Portland and Seattle please!

it is currenty 18.08 here the person updating me cant promise  he will be able to do it so if anyone else has a friend there see if they can send you updates   :peace:

don't worry anythinggoes.

just because tour is over for you guys, us USA peeps may still email you or text you with updates once GNR tour over here.

So you will still have a job to do :peace:

anythinggoes, check your PMs.? ;)

Can someone spell Wembley right on the thread title, please?

you never know i may make it to one myself? :hihi:

I wonder if when this is all over with tomorrow night if
we'll go a few weeks like this------------------------>    :-X (meaning no news from GNR/band)

or if we'll all be like this----------------------------> :peace:


or even like this---------------------------------------> :drool:


I hope it's the latter 2 emoticons :beer:

I think it's gonna be like  :nervous: this.

(Hopefully not.)

Not rearly an update but I want to let you know that today is one of my worst days ever.
Me and my family had tickets for todays show and our flight from Germany was cancelled with no option
to get an alternative flight. FUCK!

To those people who sit behind us: You got a free view to the stage now. Have fun!

dude that sucks sorry

The worst thing is that I skipped shows like Rock am Ring and Nimjegen which were in driving distance.
I wanted the real deal! Wembley!  :'(

Rumors of "Something big" being announced today or tomorrow.  It's all speculation though because they're the last two days of the Europe tour.

Im going to the Wembley show tomorrow... if anyone has any tips on times to que up early etc or where i need to go please PM me : ok: Just need some tips on silly questions :P

i have it on good authority that all the stops will be pulled out for the show tomorrow so here is hoping for big things  :peace:

it will be interesting to see what they play on the last night in wembley as the last date of the european tour because bands generally are quite generous with playing tracks in last nights because they want it to be summat to remember so maybe we will get Rhiad or TWAT

That really does suck.  :no:

I can't wait for tomorrows updates (hope someone's giving them).
 
I'm sure it'll be the best show yet.

yeah, and the one show out of the WHOLE euro tour i wont be hearing to read the updates, of course is tomorrow.

i'm going to visit my uncle before he moves permantly to England so, yeah...

if we get a relase date.. some one better call me!!!!!!!!!!


lol, have a good show everyone tonight....

I'll be on updates tonight here and on cd.com

Updates kindly provided by blueheart  ;D

i'm more interested to hear what Axl has to announce if anything, if it's the release date of CD or what.

Thanks Lara & Blueheart

Same here...I won't be around much tomorrow, so someone better call me if the shit does indeed hit the fan!

Lara is busy somewhere else she is msning me the updates for here

Bach on stage


big thanks to Blueheart and lara

bach has finished

guess whos next :crying:

Oh come on, Bullet For My Valentine isn't THAT bad..

have you had to watch them 5 times

noo

they suck ass big time

yes, yes they are!!!
thanks for everyone giving updates.

do you guys think that these shows will be much different?

who knows maybe it will 2 hours we will start to find out

tonight im sure the setlist will be the same

for tomorrow there will be some surprises : ok:

I think it will be the same for both and arn't expecting any surprises.

Haha..no, not 5 times, but I did see them at the Hammerstein on May 12, they ddn't do anything for me, but I didn't think they sucked either - they have one or two songs that I like.

wouldn't it be funny if that the suprise will be that they start off by playing PC?? :hihi:
CROWD <---?:nervous:? :confused:? :rant:? WTF??!?!?!?!??? :rant:? :confused:? :nervous:

and then Axl says thank you good night lights up everyone disperses in an orderly fashion

they should play 'new rose' tonight. a gem from tsi  :beer:

No "disperses in an orderly fashion" ... instead, the whole bands gives them that "British salute" where they'll all pee into bottles and throw it into the crowd and Axl yells "Back at youze, motherfuckers!!!"

And just as the riot is about to start Axl comes out again and say "I kid .... I kid" and then starts the show for real.

LMAO - that's awesome Gypsy! That would be the best show of the tour if that happened!  :peace:

10pm, any news?

No news yet  :-\

not yet


soon

so "soon" is the word?? :hihi:

5 mins maybe

gnr should be starting right about now

soon is the GNR word isn t ? ::)

(http://home.no.net/lizzys/devilbanana.gif)

edited because I just remembered I shouldn't do smilie-only posts..

YYAAYY!!!  I'll be able to read updates tonight and hopefully tomorrow.  Not expecting any surprises myself, but optomisic that we MAY have something to drool over today or tomorrow  :peace:

;D

So I know this is everyones thoughts, but I hope that there is a new tune or tune tonight or tomorrow since the tour is ending.

cool if they did

SOOOO ... ANY NEWS?? ? hopefully we ll get something new.. like Estranged ?maybe?? ooorr Right next door to hell.. THAT 'd be Awesome hehe ?:beer:

just jungle so far


thanks to blueheart and lara for updates

just kidding btw for those with no humour at all

jungle

No false alarm afterall...  ;)

yeah but timing all wrong  :P

Thanks for the live relay updates, anythinggoes blueheart and lara. :D

:rofl:

and they play the usual setlist backwards and Brownstone ISE Jungle for the encores in this order.

i betting we get Rhiad on one of these shows and 14 years with Izzy


 :peace:

robin solo god save the queen
sweet child o mine

hey guys, just a simple question. are they playing in Wembley?? like the Soccer Stadium?? wasnt it demolished a while ago,, or that is the name of a city.. sorry for my ignorance ? ::)

wembley arena its next door

not the stadium

wembley arena

How many peoples the wembley arena suport ?!

20.000 i guess

i dont think we will get any illusion stuff because axl's voice is different to back then and i think his voice would tired to quickly, maybe could do estranged but not RNDTH or Civil War, something a bit more relaxed on his voice like bad obsession or you aint the first

knockin on heavens door   

civil war would totally freakin own!!!! : ok: : ok:

god save the queen?awesome :smoking:

i agree dude i would love to hear it but i think axl's voice may not be able to handle it yet or ever because he dint sing for such a long time (im presuming) and the fact that he is 44. if he did perform it and it wasnt very good it would ruin the whole dream

Robin played god save the queen?! awesome! i hope somebody has audio

its being booted

Civil War is not that hard to sing.

great! :beer:

Hmm guess we can count out Brian May for tonight since that has almost become his trade mark "song"....... :-\

We've got people working for us everywhere!  ;D

No he didn't. ?Robin played "America the Beautiful" ?;)

Thank you to everyone who is doing the posting!!! This tour has flown by and lets hope the US tour will go just as smooth! Thanks again to everyone who has done the updates past, present, and future!!!

Not really his trademark song, they just played a recording of him playing it (On A Night at the Opera) at the end of each show. Trademark song is really Brighton Rock.

Is this true or are you just being sarcastic?

u seriously think Robin would play "America the Beautiful" in Britain?

Stranger things have occured.

...and blueheart ?:P

"America the Beautiful" and "God Save the Queen" are the same tune with different words. ?So unless Robin was singing along, IMO it was "America the Beautiful"

Thanks blueheart and Jarmo and anythinggoes for the updates ?: ok:

Isn't that exactly what anythinggoes is doing? ?:confused:

just got god save the queen

all one happy familly

God Save the Queen is the English (not British) National anthem. Most likely he played that, not the Sex Pistols version.

Wrong way round- it's the British one, not English. That's why at the Olympics, a Scottish athlete will have GSTQ, as will an English one. The England football team really shouldn't use it- Land of Hope and Glory is really taken as the English anthem. This is all way OT, too.

You Could Be Mine
Bumblefoot Solo Dont Cry

"Axl invited Brian May - He will arrive onstage by October"

I never know what's Great Britain and what's UK anyway, it's so confusing to me...

God save the queen is british.

Um.....what?  Did Axl say this or something?  Gonna be in the thick of the US tour by then!

Take it as a joke.

Scotland have there own anthem wrote by Bros the boy band from the 80,s called flower of scotland, but you never get to here it cause there never in a major competition .

yep pistols one is about england and not the whole britain.

Maybe it was silly q of my part considering the lyrics of the pistols one -"no future for you (to english)"

@agropolus, GB consists of wales, scotland, england and that with N.Ireland is the UK.

It's cool they play some different covers, but I'd rather have a new song instead :)

Sailing With Izzy

Thanks for that explanation, I hope I won't forget that now :)
I thought Ireland was part of it too (not only N. Ireland)

Sailing? That Rod Stewart song?

Back in the Ussr W Izzy

WTF? are they playing those songs entirely or is it just a medley? man, I really wanna hear a bootleg of this show :D

I'm starting to think all these covers may be BS.

Is this covers night or something?

wtf?????? is that shit a medley???

Hey, I like Rod Stewart a lot. There's an awesome song of him on GTA San Andreas (Radio KDST - Axl is the DJ)

Only if the updater is playing tricks on anythinggoes

This has to be a joke ;D

the updater is Jarmo he doesnt have a sense of humour

Nothing against Rod, he has some cool tunes. No wonder they are playing, in the UYI Izzy used to play I Was Only Joking, isn't that a Rod song too?

Nicely done sir.

My Michelle W Bach

No offense, but WTF are they doing? ?They should be playing some of the new stuff (that we already have heard or a new song) instead of a bunch of covers. ?Sometimes these guys piss me off.

Ok more seriously, it smells like a good  DVD setlist...

I guess the covers are cool.. but I'd rather have Old Illusion tracks with Izzy like Pretty Tied up, Double talking Jive, 14 Years, or even yesterdays.........

we will hear new stuff in Due time

God, quit whining. They are allowed to have some fucking fun!

What time did it start? Not going to read all 8 pages. Axl left the hotel at 10pm ?:hihi:

I was there, took some pics and recorded a video. I'll upload them tomorrow, I'm at my friend's and haven't got my usb cable here.

i agree, you would complain if they dint play the tracks and the set list was shorter

just after 1030

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

didn't mean to delete that.  Whatever, hopefully tomorrow will bring something.  As for THIS concert, continue.

I think those covers are damn exciting  Dude, Axl singing "Sailing" by Rod Stewart?? That is incredible. It's just fun for the band and I'm sure everyone in the crowd.

Sickthings

FFS people are expressing there opinion on the setlist, normally bands with only 1 album out do covers to build up the setlist and people are just saying it's confusing when they could do somethink from the USI albums.

Stop bitching about people having opinion "we should be happy they showed up" "be happy with what you've got" "don't expect anythink" Fuck that all these people are saying is shut your mouth and sit there and smile with what happens.

It's more annoying hearing people bitching about people have a opinion then it is the persons actual comment.

I guess they'd be cool if they are full versions for sure. I'd really be interested in hearing Axl sing Back In The USSR. The White Album is by far my favorite Beatles album. He could do anything off that and I'd be happy.

Right? Like when Queen played Wembley in 86, they did a bunch of covers, a little medly. Trutti Frutti and Hello Mary Lou, Goodbye Heart, it was fun.

Sickthings

I haven't listened to that album in a long time, but if I remember they did the full versions. They were just bunched together in the middle. Alot of acts do that type of thing.

Note from me
NR is late in the set dont you think

OMG !!

this would have made me cry.. :'( :'( :'(

22 songs allready and not finished :O

i was thinking the same thing ;)
and did anyone notice how izzy was on stage a bit too early than usual?

Led Zep did loads of covers every show too- it's just a way of having fun, cutting loose, and showing respect for your roots.

that may be the case but im sure that Rod Stewart is not GNR roots lol

Why not? Elton John is? A good song is a good song.

SWAY!!!!! OH MANNN THIS IS TO MUCH!!

awesome setlist!!!!  :o :o :o :o

agreed

I'd be happy for anything with Brian!

Sickthings

Apart from a couple of covers, the setlist isnt that different to what we have had so far (take out the solos)?

god i cant wait for audio\video lol

Right. But the covers are what every is saying are special and awesome about this setlist.

Is GNR going to be fined for going past midnight?

I hope no one complains they missed their transportation.

we are on encore now

 ;D They'll play the same set for the rest of the tour

You lot and your hopes and dreams!

A band picks a set and then doesn't deviate much from it

come on AG ou lara , any news?

yes im excited about this show


heck who isnt? ;D

Seems to be an incredible vibe at Wembley tonight.  Can't wait to see some vids of this.  I've never heard that "Sway" song before.  Is it good?

I'm not because this is the same old same old of the other shows. No Brian May. No TWAT. No Catcher in the Rye. No new songs we don't know yet. No announcement about official release date of the cd. And no playing or announcing of the fist single. So, I'm not excited about it because like axl once said "it's nothing new to me" and it's not ?:rant:

Download it

Awesome song from one of the best albums ever: Sticky Fingers

cool.  I'll do it

damn that was one short encore :-\

i really thought they were gonna play citr tonight

If anything, they'll play CITR tomorrow.

Well I would certainly like to send a thank you to everyone involved in updating for this show!

thats cool its been fun at the other end

recieving instead of giving

were the covers complete songs or ?a medly?

They won't play Catcher

It's not gonna be on CD and it's from sessions years old.

lol that sounds sexual :P

awaiting answer from the boss

tomorrows show?

just another sunday baby

intended

He didn't say it won't be on CD, he said that Brian May's parts may not be on the song (played by him at least.)

Apparently they are performing a acoustic show at a club in London at 3am this morning.

Not sure how accurate this info is.

anythiggoes is the ultimate updater! ?;D ?It was fun working with you!
Thanx Jarmo & blueheart

Great show, guys!
Hope tomorrow's show will be even better! ?:beer:

that can only mean one thing.  someone is having a birthday

If true, i am praying someone records it!!!!!!!

uncle axl will be too tired

It came from a trusted source so hopefully he's right.

which location?

I think Axl said a while ago, in 2001 I think, that CITR won't be in CD, maybe on a second or third album (probably around 2087, considering the way things are going...)

the aka club??? ?:o

that would be cool...somebody get tehre and bring a recorder : ok:

Richard and Dizzy have both said within the last year that it would

I didn't know that. Anyway, I think the chances of they playing it tomorrow are slim or none

i'm hearing the 3am club rumor as well.........

from where?

no your not

it's ok...i was just saying what they've said...anyway it still doesn't make it true...and i too doubt that they will play tommorrow

There's pretty much no way it'll happen.  They have to play tomorrow, so you can pretty much rule out that they'll be playing all night tonight, and then tomorrow too.  Maybe they'll do a small gig like that after tomorrow night's show.  That would make more sense.

um ok ill have a guess then im goin to bed. 3am the aka club london, you will hear music  :beer:

One day to go and europe is completed. Result.! I've been to 3 shows (DONN, Sheff +Man), the best for me easily was MEN. Reading set list tonight reveals lack of new songs or suprises, live in hope, tomorrow ! What has been the best show you've seen in the UK

but if it's a small acustic set, all you'd need is axl on vocals and izzy on guitar :D

 :o  Cor blimy! Good luck to jarmo, ag and blueheart, or any one from this board if it's true.


the rest of the tour? :hihi:

The covers do seem special. back in the ussr, sailing and Sway...are these songs what Izzy and axl liked as kids?
difinitely an interesting set. :yes:

What about Axl's voice?  Wouldn't it be really bad to play tonight's show, then an acoustic set, then have to go right back out for a couple hours and sing again?  I mean if he can do it, fucking awesome, I just hope it wouldn't hurt his voice in any way.

I just read on cd.com that bluehart is on her way to the after party.

could this be the 3am thingy?

this show was disappointing. No Brian May. No Catcher in the Rye. No TWAT. No new songs we haven't heard before. No official release date announcement for cd. No playing or announcing of first single. This is why this Wembley show was and still is so disappointing. Axl failed to deliver the goods again. If there's anyone who doesn't see it this way then you are either "naive" "blind" or both. ?

Ok apparently it was Axl who mentioned the acoustic set so that sounds like a reliable original source ;D

I'm told he read out a name of lottery winners who could go along.

sorry you view it that way.

you should have just gone to have fun and not worry about new songs or other stuff.

I am sorry but I don't see how anyone can NOT have a good time and fond memory of a GNR gig. ?Hell, even a riot and cancelation creates a memory that albeit may not be favorable but later down the line, you realize ...shit, I made history with GNR :hihi:

Do you believe in Santa?

Awesome setlist, thanks to all who updated and kept us informed. Hopefully this 3am thing happens!

Were you at the show.

What did you expect? None of what you wanted was gonna happen!

They'll choose from the six new songs played so far every night. If and when the new album comes out expect some deviation.  ;)

a list of lottery winners?

what do you mean? ?did they do a thing where they call off your seat number or was it something you filled out when you entered the arena ???

Sorry dolphin I'm not sure of exact details but I'm sure people who attended the gig will be able to tell us more in the morning.

hopefully jarmo got picked :peace:

really... :( and after 30 some other shows did people really expect anything else (I know they did but there was no reason to) :P


Damn...thats fucking awesome....congrats to the winners if this is true : ok:

im even sorrier you view it the way you do. but look i didn't go to this show. im saying this based on the setlist, what happened, and what was said. which was not much on all counts. how can you not worry? there is still no official release date. a single still has not been released. still no playing/announcing of first single at any europe show including tonights at wembley. Brian May was expected but he never showed. Letting down everyone with high expectations to see him on stage perform Catcher with gnr. I can't have a good time because the CD is not out. The single is not out. these things can't be ignored or overlooked. im disappointed in you for turning your eyes to these sad facts. but no, no history was made with gnr because nothing has changed with gnr. since they will be touring in the USA in the fall it looks the cd won't come out again and axl will turn out to be bogus when saying it will come out this year he will look bogus! ?:rant: ? ? ?

theillusion:

Go away troll.

Back to your regularly scheduled setlist thread...

Next show?


Like Axl would give out any more stuff to be bootlegged prior to CD's release.  Get real. 


Next show?


I'm sorry, I thought for him was to perform a set of songs and have a good time with the audience. Guest appearances, unreleased (not to mention unheard) material and various announcements are not mandatory in a rock concert last I checked.



Nice to see you have such an open mind for anyone who doesn't agree with you.



Between you and me, you are a troll.  ;D

Ya daft get  :hihi:

You were saying?

damn dude. ?you think waaaay the fuck too much about what Axl does or doesn't do.
focus on your own life fool. ?don't worry about gnr so much and maybe then when CD does come out you won't have wasted anytime waiting for it because you will be focused on you.

relax dude!

people go to see GnR to have a good time, so what if there was no release date tonight, theres always tomorrow. That setlist was awesome and you must not be a fan if you disagree with a mega set like that. All axl is trying to do is please the fans with the music they love

wow, sway is a fantastic song by the stones (and I am pretty sure GnR and/or Izzy have covered it before -- can anyone confirm?). And Sailing is a beautiful Stewart song.  Great choices.  I sure hope they show up on youtube.

great answers man : ok:

what is it with all the stones covers?.. yeah they are good songs but why only stones?.. who came up with the idea.. hey lets do a couple of stones songs with izzy.... maybe they are doing them 'cause they wanna play with the stones in america and play a couple of songs together with them or something not only open who knows..
 
i think that it was izzy's idea with the songs

it won't be announced tomorrow either. don't you get it? obviously you don't. the setlist was the same old same old. what are you talking about? you give new meaning with the term "swimming with the tide" it was bogus setlist. those covers were a joke. instead of covers more new songs should have been played instead. half of those dated appetite songs should have been cut in half for more new songs in their places. if axl wanted to please the gnr fans with music the love then he would have performed the entire cd and buried the oldies for good ?:rant:

you won't be saying their so great when nothing changes after tomororw night either. you won't be saying they are this when the cd does  not come out this year and when a single doesn't come out this year. because by then you will be saying im great along with my answers for telling the truth.

You ever been to a Harvester?

no because im a guns n roses fan. which means i focus on gnr fully. that is what being a gnr fan is all about. if the cd does not come out this year when it looks like it wont i will be shown right and you wrong. i will be right. right as a guns n roses fan.

yawn yawn yawn

Sounds like it was an awesome set list. ? : ok:

Theillusion- If they played the entire CD, most of the audience would be bored cuz they've never heard the songs before. ?Except for us few here, people at a GNR concert want to hear the hits, they don't want to hear a bunch of new material tht they can't sing along to.

And Yes, I will still love GNR if (and when) they DON'T play a new song tomorrow or announce a release date. ?Personally I don't think they WILL do anything like that. ?The tour will end, they will go back to the US to get their shit together, and then they MAY announce a release date when they have all the ducks in a row.

Can't wait to have everyone come back from this and give us some reviews! ;D

The reviews from this gig should be great :)

No mate. You're been a fool.

Being a fan is following something and accepting it regardless.

The direction you're heading is towards the Communist Party  : ok:

This is Queenie from gnr.proboards20.com right?

Halleluljah. Someone who talks sense amongst all you Yanks

yeah covering a song by lame-o rod stewuart is awesome sure its awesome sure ?::) thats a joke ?:no: its so sad its come to this for guns n roses live on stage so sad ?:no: because if they played the entire cd the audience would be the most excited giving the band the loudest ovation ever because gnr fans around the world and in wembley are dying to hear the entire cd they are craving to hear it. they wouldnt need to sing along to it because they would be too excited and happy hearing the new songs to even have time to do a sing along. but they wont have all their ducks in the row. how can they when they are touring from september to december in the fall 2006? how can the cd come out in the fall with this tour happening? i dont see it happening and more than likely it wont. thank you axl. thanks alot ?:rant: ? ?

yawn yawn yawn

You should all do yourself a favour and just ignore theillusion's posts as they really ain't worth reading.

nah, they are going to be crappy because of how much the show sucked!!!    :hihi: :rofl: :crying:

Theillusion, are you sure your a fan???

being a fan means giving a damm about the band you love and slagging them off isnt the way to do it. Axl wont play all the new songs cause theres a thing called Downloading, as people will upload them and axl would get pissed off, so axl does whats best for the band. Believe in Axl, he will deliver the goods

Yea, has to be Queenie. Queenie, did you show them your e-mail from Richard yet?

Tut tut

Rod Stewart/The Faces have influenced more bands than GNR have.

Your op's invalid

BYE  :beer:

I have to disagree with you on this point. ?I went to 4 shows at the Hammerstein. Everytime they played a leaked song, the people around me grumbled and groaned and said it was shit because they didn't know it. ?Some didn't even know it was a GNR song. ?

You are entitled to your opinion as I am mine. ?Please don't try to tell me that my opinion is not correct and I will stop saying that I disagree with yours ;)

;D

who cares if people download them? if i was axl i wouldnt because millions will still buy the cd whether it gets fully leaked to the internet or not. since gnr is supposedly the most popular band in the world then it shouldnt matter since based on that popularity millions of people will still buy the album. which means axl should give the fans what they really want finally tomorrow night by playing the whole cd. because that is really what's called "delivering the goods"

 ::) do you not understand that touring is a kind of promotion for a band??? or have you been too busy cutting your wrists? ?::)

Rule 1 - If 'theillusion' is listed as post author then do not waste time reading the post.

Rule 2 - Repeat rule 1 as and when required.

absolutaly!

I'm torn between what annoys me most about you, but I think I'll settle on the fact that, like many others, you argue with so much conviction that I wonder to myself whether or not, surely, you cannot actually think like this; if you actually are as convinced in your own stance to the extent in which you convey it, then your narrow mindedness in itself tears down your argument!, how can you preach to the already converted of the 'open mind?' Your definitive views on what will happen or how people WILL feel is almost sad, that you can articulate poorly at best, makes me sure that a better man than me would probably feel sorry for you. Me?, I just find you annoying.

(Ha!, I don't know how that came out. I started with a stream of consciousness ramble, but I put in a few full stops. It's too late. My writing is probably equal to the quality of yours)


Yep, you got one thing right there buddy. I'm all for being against nu gunrar. Really I am!, but posts posted by said poster are just... You know, genuinely not worth reading.

i dont see this europe tour as promotion. i see this europe tour as another greatest hits tour with IRS/Better thrown in the mix like the greatest hits tour they had in the USA with madagascar/the blues thrown into the mix. that tour is the same as the 02 tour with more solos and covers which last time i checked aren't new gnr songs we should be hearing instead. if this tour was really promotion then at every show on this tour axl would have played the first single already. but he never has at any of these shows which means this is not a promotional tour it's just another greatest hits tour but europe style like it was for USA style in 2002. there is no promotion here. wheres the promotion? there is none. ?

so any more news on this supposed 3am gig coz if it's happening, it'll be in 20 minutes

25  :-*


Do we even know where it's going to be if it happens?

what annoys me is you won't see the truth, Jim ?::)

Someone said the AKA club?  No clue if that's the right way to type it :hihi:

No idea where it is Mandy or how the lottery people were selected. :(

Oooooh! When they said AKA I thought they meant "also known as" ?:hihi:

Oh, I don't doubt that the truth is out there. But people like yourself work purely on conjecture (as do your opposites)! You're heading down the wrong road son.

we could have a lot of fun with this. ?we could really conjure up a good fake show and make everyone think it was real and say that jarmo got a copy of CD :hihi:

on second though, better not. ?I like my 0 karma :yes: ;D

i was acually talking about the fall USA tour, but take it as whatever you like cause frankly your opinions dont really interest me :no:

just got back from gig, this was my last one... Hammersmith, Dublin and tonight, GnR were amazing everytime, Dublin was my favorite because of the outdoor venue and  mosh pit but tonight was brilliant, good to see Izzy and Sailing was classic, only gutter was the no smoking and missed 'Think about You' (whilst smoking in toilet).... Axl still has the best voice in rock and roll!

Can't belive people expect more from a 40 year old, I think his voice is still as good as ever and the new albulm will be fucking amazing, IRS in the encore was class...

Off to bed now as I'm wasted but wanted to share the news.... what a great band.

Just back from the show, perhaps I can shed a little light on the lottery selection.  Axl announces from the stage that they are playing two shows tonight, this one and another acoustic set in a club at 3 am.  He said that people had been selected at random from their ticket purchases.  He read out about 10 names from a list he had and then a little later about another 10 names.  These people (plus whoever else they'd booked tickets for, I think) were to go and get a wristband to get them into the club.  The final name he read out, at the end of the show, was for an all expenses paid trip to see the band in September in California.  At least that's the way it sounded to me.

Was a truly great show, by the way.  : ok:

gotta love the stones covers :o  8)

looks like a bang-up show, let's hope for a huge european sendoff tommorrow :D

great news man, hopefully a full review tomorrow ?: ok:

holy crap thats huge news!!! wow, cant wait to hear about this acosutic gig!!!!!!

that is cool as hell.

maybe jarmo won the all expense paid trip 8)

Holy shit. ?:o

well it has to be going on now........the 3am gig. :peace:

Whoa....

How fucking LUCKY are those 20 people!?!?  Shit, I bet they will do the same..or something like it...tomorrow!  You lucky bastards!!!!   : ok:  : ok:

Glad to see Axl had something on his sleeve after all.

An acoustic gig, w/ Izzy? Would be so cool to get a recording.

Not unless he's going under an alias these days - the name read out sounded like it was of Greek origin to me.

Wow, that really is something very cool to do at a gig.

Christos?  :D

*dies*


 :drool: :drool: :drool:

man that would be awesome to get picked

thats a good and fair reward for the fans. shame they didnt do it at all the other UK gigs but beggers cant be chooses  :hihi:

Axl said during the Trunk interview that it would be on the album and Fortus said in an e-mail that he was looking forward to playing the song live.

i hope we get an update about the 3 am show, something about having only 20 to hear more gnr music after a consert, makes me think it might be a little CD preview

LOL i was thinking the exact same thing

It's stretching my memory a bit but I think the surname began with the letter P.  Axl had difficulty pronouncing some of the names.   ;D 

It's stretching my memory a bit but I think the surname began with the letter P.  Axl had difficulty pronouncing some of the names.   ;D 


That's fucking funny!  :hihi:

It was a nice gesture but unfortunately because the show ran past the times that the tubes stopped running, I know that some people left before the end.  Don't know if it was any of those people whose names had been were read out.  Also, selection like this doesn't differentiate between casual observers and fans who've supported the band through thick and thin - but then I guess that's what a lottery is all about, just being lucky.

It would have been better if axl said those same people instead get the first copies of "Chinese Democracy" this would have made it worth it 

It would have been better if you had already stopped posting your useless shit.

too bad they didn't do it at hammerstein :rant:    ;)

i traveled 3200miles to get there : ok:



 :drool: :drool:

It's entirely possible that not even 1 die-hard fan is at this 3AM show.  That's basically what happened when they did the acoustic gig in NYC a few months ago. 

This would be tragic.

what time is it in the UK, past 3?

03:34

We can always hope he isn't 2 hours late.

prety sure its 3:34.

damn already posted  ;D

Well, if we dont get any fan posts, Im sure that the communicative members of the band would not have a problem with telling us the setlist and a few points on how it went.

Man, some guns fans complain A LOT.

We just found out about the acoustic show, and already people are complaining about the selection process!

Axl just can't win, huh?

(puts on mommy hat)

Go to bed Mandy!

(takes off mommy hat)

I agree that there probably will not be one fan from this board at the 3 am show. ?Mostly because the odds are totally against it happening :(

who says they aren't?  :yes:

so I dont get it..

its apparently an acoustic gig with only 20 people there?

that's gotta be kinda awkward, ya know ???

lol definitely awkward, but who knows

We only know that 20 or so people were selected from the crowd at tonights gig. We have no idea the total number of people that will be there.

sounds more like fucking awesome to me


I would keep yelling out "Pitman solo!"







ok maybe not, but it would still be cool!!

Are you serious?!? Thatd be the shit! Im sure everyone there is having an awesome time.

A press release on this would be so fucking lame. ?They've already had to press release the first acoustic gig. ?Remember this:

"The band ended their New York jaunt with a surprise acoustic performance at The Plumm for actress Rosario Dawson's birthday party. The band's scorching performance, which left the way beyond capacity crowd screaming for more and gasping for air well into the wee hours of the morning, had birthday girl Dawson commenting of Rose: "They've never played all acoustic, this is history in the making, how much does this fucking man rock?!"

this acoustic show is not worth it because it will be more of the same it will be more oldies. Don't u get it? wake up. if this was 1986 i would love an acoustic show. but this is 2006 and the cd is still not out. so i dont care about this acoustic show or that september show. all i care about is axl finally giving the gnr fans what they want THE CD ?:rant:

My guess would be that there will be other people there but not necessarily fans - so this gesture was made to include some of them.  Who knows maybe it's for the industry people.

Any time GNR performs I think its a great thing, but if they want to get a positive reaction out of the new songs at concerts, they need to release CD before the US tour.  by positive i mean dancing and singing to the music.

EXACTLY

Just what the hell does that have to do with anything this thread is here for?

I was responding to another quote about someone not giving a shit about a gnr acoustic show, forgive me if i choose not to waste space with quotes when  i write a response

Didn't mean to make it sound like a complaint, sorry for that.  More disappointed than anything.  I'll have seen 14 shows on this tour, come tomorrow, and have travelled a hell of a long way and spent more money than I care to think about supporting GNR.  But, yes, I know it was my choice, and again, I'm not complaining or saying that I should get special treatment because of it, it's just that I'd love to have had the chance to be at the show and felt gutted when the list was read out and my name wasn't there.  Not that I really expected it but was hoping against hope that it might be.  So, although I applaud Axl or whoever thought up the idea, I just hope that the people lucky enough to go really do appreciate it, that's all I meant.

God dammit, how hard is it for Axl to show up at a reasonable hour? The second London gig in a row, he shows up sufficiently late that everyone misses the last trains. (And Wembley is a good 60+ minutes by bus from the centre of London)

I LOVED the music, but the man behind really knows how to act like an inconsiderate prick

On a side note, did anyone else see that 40+ year old woman on titty-cam? :no:

Also, take it from me that NME's review of the gig will be VERY good, given their reporter's gushing praise for him (overheard on the bus ride back into Central London). I think they knew where the secret gig was taking place, but wouldn't tell anyone else... bitches...

so how does Axl acousticallly say, "Do you know where the fuck you arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?"

 ;D

Stop moaning about the lateness!!! Nearly 3hrs of a stunning performance. Midnight Mile, Back in the USSR & Sailing. I've seen them 4 times & this was the best yet. Disappointing reaction from the crowd for the new songs but otherwise an amazing gig.

If you don't realise by now that axl never turns up on time then it's your own stupid fault for buying the ticket. I've just paid a 70 quid cab fair but don't give a flying fuck as that concert was outstanding!!!

Sailing promo video from 1975--corny, but the song is great!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJeUqrnP1HA&mode=related&search=Rod%20Stewart%2BFaces

He whispers it?  ;D

I'm very impressed with the covers tonight........great selection of songs also..Sway would have done it for me........maybe Back in the USSR was a tribute to poor Sir Paul who's about to lose half of 1.5 billion dollars in his divorce  :P  Either way....doing these covers should prove to the haters that the band is versatile and can click together.  Great stuff.  Kudos Axl and good luck on the acoustic show.  And Welcome to the Jungle acoustically would be interesting to hear......I try to play it acoustically and it just sounds all smooshy.

yeah I'm impressed to! Hell, even the Stones dont play Sway often. In fact the first time they played it was on the current tour

The covers were great tonight.  Keep doing them. It's fun to watch bands play other bands songs.

It's good to know that they are expanding the dynamics of their setlist. Even if it is covers, its still good to know they are starting to mix it up a bit.

I really don't understand the people that complains about the setlist and the gig today.. what did you expect? no one ever said Brian May was going to be there, or that they would play new songs, or CITR, or give a release date or anything like that.. you set yourself to dissapointment instead of enjoying what is actually real.. you called us naive, and I think you're the naive one.. who thinks every little rumour is going to became true..

keep dreamin and prepare yourself for more desillusions..

the rest of us choose to enjoy the moment instead of worrying about what might/should happen


btw, sounds like an amazing concert tonight uh? and wow what a way to end it with the lottery and the acoustic gig!!! :peace:

If there is any band in the world right now that should be good at this it is the current incarnation of GNR. :hihi:

axl stumbles in late as usall, people miss the tube home, to leave early before set is done,no mention of cd dropping . and a raffle was called after people started walking out



are we making a quick buck off of oldies but goodies ?At this time next year will GNR still be relevant?



willl slash and dufff be laughing all the way to the bank ?


hmmmmmmm

I believe a Bumblefoot e-mail was posted that hinted something might happen at one of these two concerts.  I will be pissed if nothing is said tomorrow, i just didn't like the setlist today for the lack of TWAT, Maddy, CD, or even Riyadh.

THANK GOD THIS SONG HAS NOT BIN PLAYED SINCE 1,21,02 I THINK IT SUCKS? ?Riyad

considering the thing was a mess and clearly wasn't finished, then of course it sucked.  But it has potential.

Did we get confirmation if that acoustic gig went down or not?

totally agree with you

i mean, i cannot belive that people still request unheard songs, they arent going to play them until cd come out
or a song leaks and gets massive attention like better twat or irs,

but getting back to what you ve said, you are totally right, people worry too much
i mean the show tonight was a kick ass show, nice stones covers, the classics, izzy guest again
i dont know why people find something always to complain

Thomase on mygnrforum said that they're playing right now...but didn't say how he heard or if he knew anyone there...he's a good poster over there though. ?We'll see in the morning. :peace:

Are they still playing ?

Hope we'll get some good pics.  Fucking lucky ass people getting to go to that.  I'm just a little jealous.

that is sooo NOT rockstar....

Did they playe Riydah? I read somewhere that it sucked there, or something. If so, sweet!

Perhaps Fernando may be willing to share some   :beer:

Yes that would be lovely.  8)

You'll find the setlist on page 12. No Riyadh though.

OMG That must have been a kick ass show!  My stepsons mate is not allowed to go down for the 30th show so I'm stepping into the fray and going with him instead.  Going down this morning, spending the next couple of days down there with some friends.  Looking forward to the show if its anything like this one I wouldnt miss it if my leg was hanging off!

Kudos to bobblehat at mygnr!!!!

I've not posted before so you may not believe the following account of tonight, but it's all true! I was at the Wembley gig tonight and my sister had her name read out by Axl. We were in a state of shock for a few minutes before we got off our arses and went looking for our wristbands. A group of people gathered outside S1 section and lucky us, none of the security people had any idea about an acoustic gig. After much walking around and trying to get info on what we had to do, we were told to watch the rest of the show and then to meet at section N1 when people had left the arena where we would be taken down to the standing area (strangely, most of the people who won were in section S8 and had bought their tickets within the last few days).

The winners had to provide photo ID or they wouldn't be allowed their pass (not wristbands like Axl said). We were then given an envelope with the pass and info on the venue. The show was held at Cuckoo club just off Regents Street, so a group of the winners all went and got a night bus to Regents Street as there were no taxi's to be seen! If any of the people that travelled with me to the show read this, please PM me as you were all so nice and it's a shame we didn't get to see each other after the show. I was the girl who kept making you walk to different bus stops. biggrin.gif

The club was tiny and the show was just amazing. Sebastian Bach was stood next to me for a long time and he was rocking out to I.R.S and handing cigarettes to Axl. The show started about 4:00am and finished at 5:30am. The songs I can remember being played are (not in order):

Knocking On Heaven's Door
Sailing
Welcome To The Jungle
Sweet Child O' Mine
I.R.S
Used To Love Her
Nightrain
You're Crazy
Mr Brownstone
Paradise City
Patience

There were a few more but I am drawing a blank at the moment. The show was fully filmed by the band's crew, so hopefully it will surface at some point. People took loads of photos so they should surface too.

It was a brilliant and surreal night and I am absolutely knackered but very happy and lucky to have been there. If you have any questions I'll try to answer them but don't shout at me if I can't.

P.S No one got a free CD. smile.gif


 :D

Suhweet.  The person forgot a few songs, i wonder what they were?

holy shit.. thats amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

must have been a stunning night for those few who got in

Rockin show!!!!!!!!!!! : ok:

Forgot to mention before (don't think it's alredy been posted) that Axl changed the lyrics to 'Back in the USSR' to 'Back in the fucking UK'.  Oh and told the band they'd have to help him sing the "English songs" (as he called the covers) and then laughingly called them 'plonkers'.  Been watching too much Only Fools whilst over here, I think!   ;D

10,000 : ok:

She is also claiming they played a brand new song.

 ;D

Those covers were awesome. ;D

Another great show, the band were really in the groove last night. ;D

And I hope I wasn't the only person who noticed that Dizzy's piano solo was the outro part of 'Locomotive', absolutely sublime. :beer:

wow,sounds like  a great show..and it was really cool of them to play a acoustic gig! :beer:
i would love to go to tonights show :drool: but i will be away the whole next week,so i will miss the updates and everything.. :'(


wow..and with Ron playing Don't Cry,maybe we're in for an updated setlist at the US tour? :drool:

Just read she thinks the title had "3 words" and that she thinks it was "Rhiad And The Bedoiuns".

Isn't that 4 words? ???

Does anyone know the full setlist for the acoustic show? because the setlist above is incomplete according to the person.

Yes!  :hihi:

I was on the railing far stage left- about 15 feet from the wall.  2 things:

1)  At 6.50 PM, Ron came out with a hot blonde (I presume his girlfriend) and about half a dozen cookies.  He gave a cookie to myself and a few others in the front row saying, "Have a cookie courtesy of Guns N' Roses- enjoy the show."  Some didn't know who he was, I and some others did, and we chatted about how great the tour is going, etc.  He was in a very good mood.
2)  During Rocket Queen, there were 6-10 smoking hot girls lined up in the backstage area, all dressed very stripper-like.  The crew had two platforms they started to bring on stage during the song, but after some confusion, the girls were sent back and the crew simply walked from one side of the stage to the other with the platforms as Axl went to talk to Merck on the side.  I assume the plan was for the girls to dance; I couldn't tell what went wrong.

I saw them in NYC, Lisbon, Hammersmith, Donningston, and last night.  Every show gets better- they're more of a true band, they're having fun, and Axl keeps sounding better. 

So they played Rod Stewarts (we are) Sailing. Thats so weird, as about 2 or 3 years ago i post on HTDGTH that i had an old version of Novemberain and the tune sounds just like We are Sailing.

Hush. We all make mistakes. :P

Could it have been Catcher In The Rye, Bobblehat? Was it a rocker?

No, it was quite mellow... and a bit boring, to be honest. It's probably why I've forgotten the lyrics and title. I'm a bit shit, aren't I? :D

Maybe it was a cover.

You're so right about the band just getter better with every show and by the way it was great to meet you and chat about NY and Hammersmith etc.  Being a shortie, I really appreciated the way you stopped me getting pushed by the crowd behind - thanks so much for that, you're a star!

Maybe run into you at MSG one dayin the not too distant future.   ;)

I love it when Axl mucks about with the band, like when he got us to chant "Cheer up, Tommy," to him, and then change it to "Cheer up, motherfucker."  I don't know if there was a reason behind it but it sure made him laugh.

Anyway, thanks again - and also to all the other cool people I met (both old and new) in the pub for a pre-show bevy - it was a lot of fun and see you all again tonight.   : ok:

cyllan

On one of the VR forums, someone claims that a new song called 'Love And Laughter' got leaked a few hours ago; maybe this was what they played at the acoustic show? :confused:

that's fake

So they came on late. People left before the end of the show because Axl doesn't have a watch. The people who stayed were stranded 10 miles out of London with no trains home. And the band play an acoustic gig somewhere to 40 people? Sounds kind of like the way Prince treats his fans, except that Prince puts out music.

Maybe Axl has too many "yes" men. Someone should let him know that the 10,000 people who come to the gigs don't all live nearby, and some need to go home at a certain time. I wonder how much money in fines Axl has paid because he's repeatedly late. Venue curfews are expensive.

Bring on the Apologists, for whom Axl can do no wrong.

^ I wasn't overly impressed with the lateness last night, but if you're gonna go on late, you need to have the chops to pull it off and put on a great show. Anybody who was at last night's show and says it wasn't great is either lying or has their head up their ass.

is that confirmed

I don't know but it sounds like complete crap, not Axl

But not everyone was able to enjoy it till the end.... due to the lateness!
I spoke to one of the drivers who were taking them to the Arena and he said they were told Axl would be down at 8. He only came out at 10 pm.

which one did you hear the one which sounds a mess with two songs over each other ot the cleaner version

Well they said a new leak came today called  `Love and Laughter' ,isn't it abit of a coincidence that the night after GnR play an acoustic show with a new song being debuted and someone saying it was 3 words long. I think it must be it, although I havn't heard any audio of anythink yet.

i got it at 8.00pm last night

Before the actually acoustic show? OK never mind then that's my theory fucked.

sorry 10.00 but yes before either of the shows

So is it fake? ???

.for the next Gn'R gig all the fans should turn up 1 hour after Gn'R hit the stage  :hihi:

 :rofl: i like it

Ok, my review! Let me start by saying that i have been to alot of shows and this was by far the best, Axl was on true form as were the rest of the band and guests, everyone seemed to be having a great time and the audience was loving the show!

For people who complain about Axl being late and stranding people at Wembely on our way down to the venue there were notifications on the tube informing everyone that the band were not scheduled to finish until 1:30 and that there would not be any tube transport at that time. There really is no excuse for being stranded, learn how to use nightbusses, granted it took me over 3 hours to get home, via the club that the acoustic set was held in but thats a price im prepared to pay for seeing a truely amazing show.

We missed Bach as 18:00 was a bit to early for us, we got there and managed to catch the begining of Bullet for my Valentine who were basically being laughed at by everyone that was around me. I dont have anything against them its just not my type of music. The atmosphere was pretty electric, the crowed kept themselves entertained by chanting, clapping and then getting a huge mexican wave going round the arena, ive never seen that happen at a concert. 10:30 rolled around and the band were now an hour past their scheduled start time, some of the camera men came out and got a load of the girls in the arena to flash, typical GnR style, then around 10:50 the intro music started and everyone went insane. The sound was pretty good, there didnt seem to be any technical problems at all, Axls voice was pretty low in the mix sometimes but it wasnt really that noticable. The crowed was pretty good aswell, everyone in the seating areas was standing up, they only really sat down during the guitar solos but then picked up with the main songs. There was a secret acoustic show that took place at Caberet in Soho at 3am, tried my hardset to attend but trying to contact people at 2:30am was not happning, from what i heard though it was pretty good. Im not sure if Jarmo went, i ran into the HTGTH crew while coming out of the arena after sticking aroud and talking to some of the crew, they were going back into the arena so no idea what was going on there!

Just because your tube carriage was warned doesn't mean anyone else was. If they actually *planned* to be on stage late, then that's surely 100 times worse than being spontaneously late, as they've made a conscious decision to inconvenience the majority of the crowd. (Who would have been messed around enough as the Metropolitan line was down this weekend)

As for 'learning how to use nightbuses', don't be such a condescending prick.

Do we still not know the full setlist for the surprise show?

Is it confirmed that a new song was played? I doubt it...

Until I see pictures of this acustic gig, I am not believing it.

Every board has that post from bobblehat and she/he mentions a new song played but can't recall what it was?

I just learned to not believe anything unless it's confirmed from management.

It sure happened. Now, whether a new song was played or not...

Lots of people reported that Axl announced it on stage. I think Axl trumps management- ergo, it happened.

There will be another full account of last night with pictures later today form another forum member who was at the acoustic show.



Yeah, the lucky bitch!




lol - you got the phone calls and texts as well then? I have never been so happy for someone but jealous at the same time. ha

fucking hell!

 ;D

what a fucking setlist - sway just about kills every song ever (bar the gnr, rest of pre-sticky fingers stones, and dylan catalogues obviously). sailing is fucking sweet and ussr is a banging choice. rocket queen getting an airing (which has become far too infrequent, it should be a staple of the set!).
and then another acoustic show!

fucking hell.

as sweet as it is, i am a bit pissed that london (and new york/LA) get such preferential treatment by axl and gnr. i know its to be expected as they are the major hubs for western culture, but still... come to belfast and do that shit! :hihi:

we all knew tonight (the 30th) was going to be a special show. but they'll have their work cut out for them to trumph last night. and... i think they will. it looks likely, to me, we're going to get a release date tonight. (unless something goes wrong and someone fucks up by throwing shit).

Oh that's me (Red1) and yes there will be abother full account later with some good pics - but I have no idea if she remembers the whole set list.? She couldn't remember it when I spoke to her earlier - but she was still in a state of complete shock.

Sway is one of my favorite songs of all time. One of the sleaziest/bluesiest riffs ever and killer lyrics. Only Izzy is cool enough to pull that one out. Coincidence that Paul Buckmaster added the strings to Sway on Sticky Fingers. You can't hear them too well unless you have the remastered version. Buckmaster also put killer strings on Moonlight Mile-the album closer on Sticky. Just in case you don't know, Buckmaster put strings on TWAT.  :beer:

You're Crazy, Mr. Brownstone, Used To Love Her, Patience, Welcome To The Jungle, Knockin' On Heaven's Door, Sweet Child O' Mine, Sway, Sailing, Nightrain, IRS, Paradise City


Setlist from the acoustic show....


Off to Wembley...



/jarmo

ha, thats cool as fuck.
izzy had old stones stalwart nicky hopkins on his majestic come on now inside (which bears no small resemblence to sticky fingers stones). but that link may be ven cooler.


and yea, only izzy is cool enough. he definitely (obviously) brought the stonesier side to the band and its something thats missing in the newer songs. it was actually the first thing that struck my friends and i. you can replace slash, but its harder to replace izzy. unless you're gonna get keef in.

but even without izzy, lyrically it makes a terrific choice of cover for axl.

setlist from acoustic nice enough, though not spectacular. irs would be interesting to hear.

have fun ;)

jarmo did u went to the accoustic show? :o

so either sway or sailing was the mellow new song that they guy who went didn`t like :rofl:

Guess ?there wasn't a new song played then (by new I ment that we havn't heard yet)

no it wasn?t...    the guy who said that confused one of the covers with a new song : ok:

WHY THE FUCK WASN'T I THERE?!!! :(

Was Izzy there too? At The Acoustic?

When they played at Rosario Dawson's birthday, it was more or less the same setlist.

was there last night, hung around to try to get acoustic tickets but couldn't.

where was the acoustic at?

at the cuckoo club is what i had heard

Really, who the fuck are you little twats complaining about the show starting late? ?WTF, this is not the "wine and cheese" symphony-my-shit-don't-stink-tribute-to-WHAM? ?This is fucking dirty, whiskey drinkin, sex-drugs-rock-n-fukcin-gnfr-rocknroll? ?What is this attitude that "conformity" is cool? ?Are you kid's ten years old and scared of mummy? ?Or, are you so young, that you never had a taste of decadence? ?Get a hint--this board is "Here Today Gone to Hell," and GNR's first album is titled "Appetite for Destruction," which is chock full of songs about banging heroin, drinking moonshine, smoking everything under the sun, and then fucking until you get to Paradise City, and then do it again the next day. ?

I don't care about your whiny little asses, and I hope to never read again, on a GNR board, about your mummy wanting to spank you because you had to stay out late at a rock n' roll concert. ?Roll with the punches, and enjoy the nightlife you little wimps. ? I have always felt, the best times in life, begin when the sun goes down! ?GNR are the most dangerous band in the world--they built a world out of anarchy, not an excel spreadsheet and plastic pen guards to protect their freshly starched shirts. ?

I hope they play until 2 in the morning tonight!!! ?Get back to your NSYNC boards, and discuss your man-made idols and early evening shows over threre--where your can stick a watch up your arse and time it.

"I don't worry about nothing, cause worrying is a waste of my fucking time!!"

Lay off the sugar your getting to excited.

were the most dangerous!!!!

LMFAO--it might be the early morning coffee & Splenda (realize, it's over the top a little on purpose, but geesh enough of the "show started too late non-sense...")!!! ?

Apparently the "new" song that she thought boring was sway. :hihi:

BTW, I can't remember what song off sticky fingers is sway. how does it go...

look dude, maybe they aren't old enough to drive

in the USA we seem to have more options of transportation and they run 24 hours


ease up on other cultures

PPbebe, second song and it is a slow rocker-not boring!

Nothing about culture, other than rock n' roll culture. 

Amen, brother! Gettin' REALLY sick of people complaining about the shows' start times. If you don't like it, don't go. This isn't a Broadway show that starts promptly at 8:30 and ends at 10:15.

rock on you wild internet maniac  :rofl:

I'd understand if the people who actually went to the show and had to leave before pc due to the late running were unhappy about it but I'm yet to hear them seriously complaining.


Thanks. the song that follows.. brown suger, yes? ...I still don't seem to remember the tune. maybe I agree with the girl who was at the acoustic show :P

Tank, go listen to it again-killer song. :drool:

i had to wait for 5 hours for the next train at the station in venlo after gnr`s gig in nijmegen.... not that cool, but it wa worth it : ok:

You totally missed the point:  this is about GNR, as much as it is Lemmy, the Stones, The Who, Wolfmother, or any Rock band for that matter.   If you want wine and cheese, a seated venue, and the show to start at 8:30 p.m. sharp, then why are you even on a GNR board?  Buy the CD's, and stay at home!  Quit coming on the board after a killer show, and complain about a dirty rock show starting after 10 p.m.  It's simple--either you rock, or you don't!  Go get some milk and cookies, and post on the American Idol board.

:beer:

Hi, Cyllan, I feel for you and share your feelings, also.
N.

Seriously, the "go post on [insert generic pop shit here] board" is old. Clearly you are rocking so hard you're posting on the internet in the middle of the day just like the rest of us. Stop implying you're living some hard-rocking decadent lifestyle, and not just some mark (like too many people here) who can't separate Guns N Roses (the great music) from Axl Rose (the inconsiderate person).

Was it a killer show? Yes. I do not dispute that. However, you must appreciate that when 12,000 people have put money in his pockets you'd think he'd put in a bit more thought on his showtime. Not everyone can afford to spend all night partying - some of us have businesses to run or jobs to go to, children to look after, places to be.

Incidentally, I have also seen Motorhead, the Stones and The Who in recent years. All of them put on killer shows, and they all made it on stage on time. If Lemmy can make stage on time, why can't Axl?

Sorry ? Ireland part of what now ? dont be saying that stuff.

Actually there sir, I've seen Motorhead before and they went on 35 minutes late. ?I also waited 45 extra minutes to see Elton John in 2001. ?Shit happens....they're rock stars. ?They live that life so we can worship them. ?If you don't like it.....like it's been said, don't go.

regarding acoustic gig


I was there 

the most unbelievable experience of my life! im still in total shock. it was fucking insane. and yeah i have some awesome photos which im uploading now, and a few shoddy videos i tried to keep a steady hand for!

i am forever grateful for the person who made this happen, something i'll never forget.from the poster cherry_bomb over at mygnr.com

she is uploading photos now

If you have something that is so important to do on a Saturday night, maybe you should be taking care of your responsibilities instead of buying tickets to a rock concert. By the way you still haven't answered the question about taking the 24-hour bus home. Apparently the idea is "condescending" to you, but do you understand the concept? Does London have 24-hour buses? Because if you take the night buses, you can get within walking distance of where you are going. It's a pretty simple concept.

Agreed r.e. Saturday night, but what if these responsibilities fall the following morning?

I said that telling me to 'learn to use a night bus' - or words to that effect - was condescending, you fucking dimwit. Did you even read the message? Indeed it is a simple concept, except a 65-minute tube journey translates into a 2h45 bus journey. Meaning that, whereas you could otherwise have expected to be home at 1-ish via tube (had he arrived and finished on time), you end up getting in at 4-ish.

I'm clearly arguing a losing debate against people like you - you just cannot fathom the fact that it's an inconvenience to finish the show so late, whereas I cannot understand the hero worship that blinkers your view of the man. I suppose I should be grateful he even showed up at all.

Right, that's that gripe out of my system. Over and out...

And people in hell want ice water.....what's the point?  If you're too much of a pansy to have to ride on a bus for an extra hour maybe you shouldn't be going to the big bad mean ole rock concert.  Stop being a crybaby.

The problem is that London has really shit night transport, because the tube is still running through old Victorian tunnels. So the maintainence has to be done at night, as there aren't parallel tunnels as in New York.

But I had patients to look after the day after I went to Hammersmith, getting home at 5- not that I'm complaining at all. It's a once in 4-year or more opportunity, and as a junior doctor I'm used to extreme sleep deprivation anyway!

you're lucky to be able to see the shows. ;)

@ nu gunner please don't be touchy. He's just saying he was uninformed about that to be nice to me, I bet.
I don't think I know the great details about foreign countries. do you?


If you say so...Yep.
Honestly not being a huge fan of stones, I haven't listened to sticky fingers for like several years...(Sorry mum actually it was me who broke the zip and not my brother. :-[ )
Still I was humming "brown sugar, how come you taste so good?" the day before yesterday in the kitchen.  As to the second song however...I completely forgot.

Say that to an Irish person and they'll give you a punch in the mouth. Ireland is not a part of Britain or the UK and hasn't been since 1921. Had to get that off my chest.

Yes but he did play the Blues, IRS and Better. That's three new songs that most of the crowd hadn't heard before. More than what most bands play.

Has anyone mentioned the midgets yet? I think they were meant to come on during PC

One other thing..the venue lights were on during PC - not sure this is normal, I think the venue had got to the point where enough was enough.

As I said, out come The Apologists. It doesn't matter what time Axl turns up, because it's Axl. Axl can do what he wants, because he's Axl. Axl can come on at 4am, because he's Axl.

Guess What? He LOVES people like you. You put up with whatever he does, and you love it, because it's Axl.  GYAFC - Izzy quit because he was fed up of Axl's laterunning eating any profit the band was making. I'm sure that IF I was in the band, I might very well be fired for thinking that turning up on time is a reasonable thing to do. 

Now, whose problem is it that Axl doesn't go on stage until 11pm and doesn't finish until 1.05am? Is it Axl's problem? No. of course not. It's for everyone who paid for a ticket to figure out. Doesn't matter if they chose not to drive, or have babysitters, or want to get home before 3am, or have to go to work in the morning. They can wait and be inconvienienced. Because it's Axl. And what he wants... he gets. And that's why I didn't go see them at Wembley, because if I went, I wouldn't get home until 7am if the show over-ran. Because Axl couldn't be bothered to turn up for a show and doesn't give a shit. The only thing stopping the show starting on time is the band themselves : THEY and NO ONE ELSE is responsible for habitual late-running.

If GNR really were as fucked up whiskey-drinking, drug taking, hooker-banging as you seem to think, they'd all be dead. Either that, or they'd have the constitution of superheroes were only Kryptonite can fell them. (And we all know, it's only Bon Jovi who has the Superman Tattooo... though he should have had his lifesize and on his chest if he was a super as he wants to be.)

Oh, and it's not whiskey in that whiskey bottle : it's a voice treatment so Axl can keep up his distinctive voice.

No doubt someone will say I'm pissed off because Mick Wall's Dad gets more pussy than I do or something, hmm, how very 1991.

Bullshit. I don't live in London. I can get to London and from London fairly easily until midnight. Walking distance home for me, from the very extent of the nightbus is 30 miles. Walking distance? If I don't mind getting home at 2 in the afternoon.

+ Out To Get me and Patience.

the show was really good... shorter solos, no Robin 2nd Solo etc ... new cover songs.. nice (and really small) audience.

look at the crowd just before GNR :  :-\
(http://pix.nofrag.com/2a/d0/76970adb29a8205c1f615f867a69.jpg)

Beautifully put. Let the flaming begin...

well...   izzy didn?t leave, because axl took the stage late dude :hihi:

and well....  i had to wait for 5 hours for the next train after the gig in holland... so what??   i bought a ticket to see gnr, not robbie williams....

OOooo, the old American Idol/Britney Spears/Robbie Williams argument.

Izzy was very vocal about the On Time issue. That was a major factor. As of course, was trying to be sober.

i`m pretty sure izzy didn`t care about the money dude : ok:

and well.... if you`re pissed off because gnr start their shows late.... then so be it. but please keep it to yourself. i waited for almost 7 hours for them to show up in nijmegen, while the sun was burning like shit + the 5 hours in venlo i allready mentioned.... at rock am ring i had to wait for 13 hours. you`re obviously a member of this forum and not someone who bought the greatest hits yesterday. you know about axl`s lateness, so stop the bitching...  :peace:

Everyone knows that GNR starts late and if public transportation is closing at midnight (which is incredibly lame btw, but that's another story) it might be a good idea to plan ahead, staying at a hotel, a friend's or something, take the night bus, get someone pick ya up - whatever!. If a GNR show is not important enough to endure a few hours waiting and delayed transport home, then don't go. How fuckin' simple can it be?

GNR shows are always starting at 11:00 PM or later.

Waiting GNR is a part of the concert dude !

The show was fuckin great !

CAN ANYONE TELL ME THE NAME OF THE 3 COVER SONGS PLAYED ?

The only one i know is Sailing.

Amazing show!

Not gonna write a full review cause i have way too many things to do...

Axl: Sounded great, performed even better..this guy is the best frontman I've ever seen. I have no words really...

The band: Fortus is an amazing guitar player. His solo was the best of all the guitar solos by far.

Stinson: I've seen the band twice on this european leg. Tommy doesn't seem to enjoy the show as much as the others do. At one point, Axl asked the crow to say" Cheer up Tommy" and the crowd obeyed...

Rocket Queen: Axl messed up the intro, he started the first verse singing "I've seen everything imaginable.." bumblefoot was like..."what the hell is going on? The roadies have brought in two large tables before the song started, I thought two girls were gonna put a nice little dance for us, but in the middle of the song, they dragged the tables out again? :confused:

The crowd: good crowd, better than Madrid's. In between the opening acts, fans had their 15 minutes of glory (well, 2 seconds). During 10 mins some shots of the fans were shown in the video screens, at one point, a rodie (i guess it was a rodie) said" take them out" and a girl showed her boobs, the camera caught that and 10 or 15 other girls did the same...nice!.

That's about it so far, I'll add some more later.

When they start playing is the concert. Everything else isn't.

Ignatius - Were you and Jarmo at the acoustic gig?  I thought I read at least JARMO was there, but I wasn't postive.

Looks like you guys who went to the 29th show got it. Too bad for the 30th show people. Thats life  : ok:

No, unfortunately I didn't catch that one.
