Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Is Axl allowed in St. Louis or is he barred from there?

I had heard too he was barred from Atlanta.

Philly...after 2002..will he say 'fuck it' and do another city in PA?

Anyone know or care to speculate?

With my luck, we wont see him in Philly  :(

Alaska and Hawaii are skipable....lol..is that even a word?

Can you imagine GNR playing in Alaska....damn igloo for an arena :hihi:

I have a feeling they won't play Calgary, Alberta.

I dont know about that, but he can still 'Fuck St. Louis' and perform in Missouri. Kansas City an obvious choice, and there is a small arena in Joplin that GNR could easily sell out. Although known for being a country town, if GNR were to play in Branson it would get LOTS of attention in the Ozark area.

well it seems like they are doing the southeast first.

i wonder how long it'll be until they are back at new york or if the 4 warmups at hammerstein were it?

if i booked GNR, i'd go by the weather and play the warm states in the winter that way you don't have any snow storms to worry about. 

i didn't think they'd be doing 4 shows in florida.  And October is a month where you get awesome sunrises and sunsets :smoking:

They will probably play another venue close to that area. ?He may not want to return to Philly for obvious reasons.

Hard to speculate what is going on with this tour by the way the dates are popping up. ?I think they should cover the south and the midwest and then end in the north east right in time for Christmas.


I think they will end the tour here in the NY area since we just got dates in May-

i doubt they will play philly, hopefully instead they play the wachovia arena in wilkes barre, much closer to my house :hihi:

if memory serves me right, in 2002..didn't GNR have two shows in Philly? Or was one scheduled for wilkes barre and cancelled?

And a better area.. I'll be there (unless they move your show back to philly, again). ?It worked out in 02.. I ended up with 2nd row seats for that show after it was moved ?:peace: ?Yeah..great seats to have been thrown at me!

Yeah, they were SCHEDULED.  If you follow the band, you'll know that the first night in Philly was the end of the tour.

but wasn't there a show where they were selling tickets for 10 bucks in 02?  Was that for wilkes barre show?

$10?  I don't recall, but it has been 4 years.  I think that would have stuck out in my mind.  The Philly shows certainly were more than 10 bucks.. (250/ticket to be in front row the 2nd night...80 regular).  Wilks was probably more than 10.. but maybe someone else remembers?

I think there was supposed to be a Wilkes-Barre show, but they switched it to the Spectrum. And yes, they were selling tickets for something around 10 bucks at the Wachovia Center show. It was some kind of special deal. Show your ticket to tonights show and get one for Sunday night for only ten bucks.

This is correct, they were handing out flyers for a 2nd show Sunday night (or Sat night, whichever) in the Spectrum (old 76ers & Flyers arena)? the night of the show as you walked in of course, it never panned out. Not sure if it was a last ditch effort to hope fans would think "Oh, they didn't show up, I'll just go to tomorrow's show".. The flyers were pretty shitty, literally looked like they were made in Word Perfect & copied off a photocopier.


Back OT, it's kindof premature to guess. I would have thought they'd only play the bigger cities in the first go around, but seems like Florida they're hitting the medium sized cities too. In PA, I'd guess Philly area(Camden),  Pittsburgh & myb Scranton or Allentown.

Oh yeah thats right... as long as you had the ticket from the first night you could see the second show for $10.  Glad that worked out  : ok:

Axl is not banned in Atlanta. They wanted to come in 2002 but could not work out a deal with the promoter-Peter Conlon. They wanted too much money and Conlon didn't think he could sell enough tix to cover it. ?:P

Yeah, that worked like gangbusters.. ?:hihi:

The way they are playing Florda. I Guess it is not to far fetched to see 2 or 3 shows in eastren PA. like Philly or Camden. Allentown or Harrisburg area and then Wilksbarre could be possble.

I just hope they do not fall on Nov 10,11, 12 or 13th as I will be in Vegas. But as my luck goes they will be.

Some sensible logic there.  Why not play the notheast in the fall, when the weather is brisk, yet still manageable?  I missed MSG in '02 due to a snowstorm, and with the way this looks like it's panning out thus far, I can only hope that that frustration is not re-lived again.

that's good to know.

atlanta is one hour from me via Delta

Us florida women freak if the weather gets below 85  ;D

GnR is currently scheduling a show in KC at Kemper Area, and I would bet my last dollar they plays St. Louis.? As far as Joplin goes, I heard it is only behind San Fransico for the most gay people per capita so I doubt they would play there.? I think Springfeild would be a better option in the Ozark area.?

better come to Vancouver! :o

that apperently was for the 2nd philly show. they sold these at the night of the first show

Hopefully the Mrs. and I will be making our way down there within the next few years.

SLC without a doubt............. :hihi:

(watch me be wrong.)

When did Joplin become a city full of gay people?? :nervous: I lived there back in the mid 90's and Joplin had no such stigma attached to it. Where did you get that info?

here is a link to the flyer http://www.gnrontour.com/sets2002/20021208flyer.jpg from gnrontour.com

i wish they would announce the whole tour instead of certain dates at a time. i cant wait to see them again, the NYC warmup shows were amazing. i dont think they will play philly. maybe they will play some place close like camden, nj.

Assuming they 'skip' Philly and play Camden I will NOT go to that show even though it is less than 2 hours to get there.  I have been to that city three times and I have never felt safe.  My friend went to a Phish show there and got carjacked.  I think that sums up Camden in a nutshell.

With that being said I do not think they will skip Philly.  They will be in that city.  I wouldn't be surprised if they skip some of those venues in the south which were selling poorly during the 2002 tour.  Like play Atlanta and skip the Carolinas. 

^^^See you motherfuckers in Philly!!!  Trust me, they'll be there.  So will I.  I'll see you folks in the front of the line!  We'll get some good "Fuck Pierre Roberre" chants going.  :hihi:   8)

One state they won't perform in?  Unfortunately for me, Delaware.  :'( 

Totally - really doubt they'll be playing in Utah.

Well, while I REALLY hope not...once again...Indiana will be skipped.

Its been over ten years since he played here. Sure wish he would have a homecoming show. But no matter...I'll drive the three hours to Ohio. I do hope he plays Columbus and Cincy this tour tho. Just wish Axl would realize we would embrace him with open arms....Hoosiers aren't ALL bad...

AylaRose

I have this feeling he doesn't really like indiana much anymore these days.  but that may have changed....

These days? I think he's hated us since he left...lol....ahhh the rants we heard at the Indiana dates in the past!

I can't stand that asshole either.  I'll be there chanting with ya  :hihi:

I am thinking Delaware....... :peace:

I remember when he introduced Izzy in Birmingham, UK in July: "From the same cesspool I was spawn from, Laf-a-lot [Laugh a lot, instead of Lafayette] Indiana, Mr. Izzy Stradlin".

 :hihi:


/jarmo

cmon, all these people are concerned about them coming to philly, us philly people must remember that we are on the east coast and theres like at least 10 different venues within 2 hours of us.  Unless U have no cars, friends or money, you should be in pretty good shape.

amen with the fuck pierre, shit ill chant that if im in chattanooga at an arts and crafts fair!

I seriously doubt they will play Carbonear Newfoundland and/or Vider Texas.

Yeh I am sure he will not come see us in Indiana that is why I am going to nashville to see him but if he does come to indiana I damn well will be there no matter what :beer:

I'd love to hit Nashville..but thats a tad far...around 5-6 hour drive. If I'm gonna do that drive..I'll just go to Chicago. I'm anxiously waiting for Ohio and Illinois dates tho. I can't wait to see Ron play!
