Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Im sorry to the mods if it doesnt belong, if it has to be moved thats fine.  But I wanted to vent alittle and I didnt want to do it in a thread that GNR is supposed to play at, thats meant to be positive.  But with all these dates being announced, and the timing of the shows, like just now Dec. 17 and 19, Nov 8th ... WHEN IS THEY NYC SHOW GOING TO BE ANNOUNCED ?!  Wherever and Whenever GNR plays, its a big deal and deserves all the attention, but in NYC, its like the Super Bowl.  This show could be a huge event, bigger then Dec. 5, 2002 and bigger then the Hammerstein shows.  What a way to release CD right around the NYC show, or put it on sale that night at the show, then nationwide the next day...idk.  All in all its a very exciting time to be a GNR fan, I feel this is one if not the best GNR site, I have great appreciation for everyone who gives updates.  2006 !!

I love you for making this thread.  :love:

The love in this room is making my nauseous.  I hope the NY shows get a presale (again).  I don't care if it's MSG or Nassau Colisseum.  I'm going.

And I want a great seat.  : ok:

I may go see them in NYC if they play again, I think they should play New Year's there!

When you be sure about going, please let me know A.S.A.P.  :nervous:

Why does everyone (or anyone) think that playing NYC is such a big deal?
Especially MSG. Wrestling shows fill MSG, it's not like it's a hard sell.

I drove to New York from KENTUCKY to see the may 12th show...and it was def. worth it.  New York definately shows Axl love...so I'm all for the album comin out on the day of the next NY show.

Hmmmm... this is a tough question.  Remember 2002, the show that sold out in 15 minutes, where was it?? It was in NYC. The Hammerstein shows sold out in 3 minutes this year.  NYC is a huge fanbase for this band, so that's why it's such a big deal.  If I didn't explain it well enough or give enough info for you, please let me know.

We do give Axl and Co. a lot of love here.  Nothing beats the crowd at a NYC GNR show!  Vegas was great but the crowd just kinda stood there except for a few people like myself going nuts.  Here, everyone goes nuts and it's a wild time! :beer:

I thought I told ya'll:


This will be happening very soon: I have a "source" 
MON NOV 6TH - CONT AIRLINES ARENA - NJ AND FRI NOV 10TH THE GARDEN 

On sale: Sept 30th.

Of course, as always with Guns, things are subject to change!

Nice topic!!  Get your ass back to NYC Axl!! 

Hmmm I thought for sure they would end the tour here :no:

Whenever it is, I'm there...  : ok:

Oh I am there too, no doubt about that!

Both shows if they hit Continental and MSG since I am the same distance from both! :beer:

Im at any show between, NYC, and surronding states.

oh man, i really hope your wrong about this one. I'm from NJ and that is the week im going to ireland for my cousin's wedding. if gnr is playing around here that week i might have to eat the $350 plane ticket and skip my cousin's wedding...

great awesome post! :drool: :drool: :drool:

PS: Great choice GNR estranged :hihi: :peace:

now that is a big fan right there! awesome!!!

probably will be announced monday if they go on sale next weekend- both venues have there scheds clear on those dates- im sure some of the radio stations in the area will drop the word this weekend

Nov 6th & 10th would be perfect for me since I'm most likely moving West later in the month

I have been told by a 'source' that the options being explored were those already posted for early November and also NYE for the Garden.  Oh, and yeah my source is usually pretty reliable - but I obviously can't divulge.

can u ask if they are ever coming to Arizona this year  ?  ;D

All true, but that just re-affirmes my point; NYC is an easy sell. It'll be a big show, probably a good one. What's the big deal? Is there just nothing else going on in New York these days?  :P

Well the big deal for me is im coming from Uk to see the show and also to see the sights of New York and visit my long time friend in New Jersey so yeah its a fucking big deal for me.

Yes, I've been wondering the same thing. Shows in Ohio? BAH! Bring on NYC!!! I'd love to see GNR do a show at Nassau Colliseum and MSG, I'd go to both. Hell, I live only like 15 minutes away from the Colliseum!

Not only can I not wait for the NYC shows to be announced, but I'm hoping maybe there will be a New Years Eve show at the Borgata in Atlantic City. I think that would be cool. I know they've done Vegas for NYE in the past, but be it that they just went to vegas, it'd be nice to ring in the new year with the east coast

I hate presales, becuase they prevent a guy like me from getting a good fucking ticket :-\
And I want to know why they can't just announce the full fucking tour in one shot, instead of a date here and a date there. :rant:

I think it's because they're trying to book shows so late in the year. They're stuck with whichever dates are still available and try to work them into a schedule. That's my guess.

I think that is a valid point.  With basketball season (pro and college) starting up around some of the later dates venues are probably harder to book and since they seem to be literally booking this tour show by show they are grabbing what they can. 

I am assuming you have never seen a big event in NYC.  It won't be a tough sell, but it will be a tough ticket to get.  There is a ton of excitement and build up for shows in the city.  I think the big thing for any artist is that they are the center of attention for thousands of people in a city where its easy to be invisible.  Then afterwards the partying is ridiculous.

I'd love to see a show at the Colliseum! Are you on the island? I'm about 15-20 minutes away also...

I was really upset to see the early November show dates, even though a November NY show would make a really good early bday present.  I am really crossing my fingers for NYE.  There is nowhere in the world I would rather be for New Year's Eve than with Axl & the boys!!!  If that does end up happening, I am asking anyone who has influence - PLEASE do a presale.  NYE at the Garden is a hot ticket no matter who it is.  I can not be in the 400s for that!   : ok:

if they do MSG for new years i might have to make a trip out there.

Wow, you're starting to not make sense. Wouldn't MSG be an easy sell for GN'R because of the fanbase that they have there?? It's not like people that aren't fans just go to shows at MSG for the hell of it.  NYC doesn't sell out every show it has there, just because it's NYC. That's such a decelerated thought and everything you keep saying has at least some idiocy or behind it.  Why does every GN'R show sell out there?? BECAUSE OF ALL OF THE GUNS N' ROSES FANS THAT ARE LIVE THERE OR LIVE NEARBY!! What is so hard for you to understand about that??

This is what I am still hoping for!  GNR, floor tix, New Years, MSG, ahhh heaven!

I think the fanbase here is big enough for 2+ shows.

hmm I could see that happening- the CAA show going on sale alone next week, then after that sells out they announce a new years garden show? possible

I am heading to MSG after work today to buy some basketball tickets... maybe I'll just ask about GNR playing there.  Can't hurt right?

Keep us posted.  8)

Congratulations on detecting idiocy, now switch frequency to "irony" in anticipation of the following:
I wasn't originally talking about "ALL OF THE GUNS N' ROSES FANS THAT ARE LIVE THERE," but the fans "that aren't live there" hyped over the concept of GNR in NYC (as opposed to any specific show there) since the warm-ups pre-europe. In particular, the echo chamber which transforms every bit of wishful thinking into ". . . in NY!" Example: "GNR need to announce a release date" becomes "GNR need to announce a release date. . . in NY!" Or "GNR need to play NYE" becoming "GNR need to play NYE. . . in NYC!" Because it seems that it frequently comes from fans outside of NY. I was just wondering, and questioning, why NY has suddenly become a faux-mecca for GNR fans on the back of four small shows.

Actually a friend of mine's band is in talks to play the Borgota on NYE.  Not confirmed yet but looking as if it is going that way.

I would LOVE for them to be anywhere around here on NYE though, if it's in the tri-state I will be there!

You wouldn't bring up the typo I made unless you knew that you were wrong.  You obviously had no idea what idiocy meant either, which I'm sure you will now after you look it up.  You NEVER ONCE QUESTIONED "Why NY has suddenly become a faux-mecca for GNR fan on the back of four small shows?? (UNTIL NOW)"  By the way, stop acting like you don't make mistakes and don't think you're perfect BECAUSE  there should have been a question mark in that last sentence you typed. That was a QUESTION for your information and after a question is typed, a question mark, NOT A PERIOD, is typed afterwards. (Sorry, I had to make fun of you for trying to be a "smart ass" but forgetting the "smart" part of it).  You seem so jealous of NYC and so many things that you say are against GNR. WHY???  This is what you said before,  "NYC is an easy sell. Even wrestling can sell out MSG."  Yep, some huge Guns fan you are.  I'm done talking to you because I'm not going to let you ruin another thread with your stupid disagreements on so many discernible things.  NYC is defintely a MECCA for Guns N' Roses and that is a FACT!! "Faux-mecca" doesn't even make sense at all.  Basically you said that, "NYC is a FAKE or FALSE place that attracts GNR fans," right? Next time stop trying to be smarter than you are and leave the "FAUX" out of it and STOP digging yourself deeper and deeper into imbecility. Peace out my GOOD friend!!  LASTLY, WARNING TO ALL NEW YORKERS AND TO THE PEOPLE THAT MAY BE GOING TO THE NEXT NY GN'R SHOW, THE POPULARITY OF THE BAND THERE IS "FAKE"!! DON'T BELIEVE THE THOUSANDS OF FANS THAT MAY SHOW UP!! NYC IS A "FAUX-MECCA" FOR GN'R!! "EVEN WRESTLING CAN SELL OUT THERE!!"

Dear lennonisgod,

As I've already tried to explain, I was making a light-hearted comment about the sudden surge in popularity of the very concept of GNR in NYC. Why it raised your ire so much, I don't know. I can, however, assure you that it was not meant as an attack on the honor of the city of New York or the fans of GNR residing in or around the five boroughs.

Thanks for taking the time out to read my earlier post explaining this to you and your gracious attempt to view my comments in the context intended, instead of just jumping down my throat with silly remarks about my intellect or my GNR fan credentials. That was nice, and it really helped to resolve the situation quickly and clearly.

Your brother in Christ,

Don't down play wrestling's ability to sell out venues man. They can sell out anywhere as easily as the biggest bands in the world. they could play stadiums in North America, somthing I doubt Gn'R could do at this point. New York shows are always a big deal. everyone knows that. bands have always said that. big bands, little bands it doesn't matter all bands say playing New York is special. This from a small town Western Canada boy.

Just to let everyone know, I went to MSG yesterday to buy some college bball tickets and I asked the guy at the ticket counter if GNR had finalized the date yet for MSG.  He said no they were still in talks with them and are trying to come up with a good date.  I asked if there is a tentative date or any kind of time frame as to when they might play and he said that there is really nothing right now and they are still talking with the band.  So, yes, it sounds as if they are going to play MSG.  Surprise surprise I know, but I figured I would give it a try and get more information out of him. 

Good job, Everyone knows what kind of show it will be at MSG.  About it being able to sell only because its MSG.  Thats right, its New York fuckin City, the media capital of the world.  GNR in NYC =  :beer: $$$$. Thats what its all about, there is so much more hype and anticipation for an NYC show there anywhere else, even at the Nassua Coliseum, theres nothing like MSG/NYC

Thats not to say other shows anywhere else are not as good, all GNR shows are awesome wherever they play. But the hype and anticipation of it being in NYC is what makes the MSG show so special.

Dont cry please.

Thanks for trying at least we know it will happen! 

Please, please to the GNR gods above let it be NYE! :peace:

In that case, please to the GNR gods above let it be a pre-sale for the hardcore fans.  :hihi:

Just checked the Msg website and although GNR are not listed the 10th November is still free in the Arena so fingers crossed its happening then

friday night in NY would be awesome!!

then play in philly on saturday the 11th!  : ok:

back to back nights just like in......aaah nevermind.

Axl always says he loves NYC and the NYC crowds. I'd be shocked if there wasn't a date there at all.

That's awesome - thanks!!!!

The wait is killing me. I check this site and ticketmaster many times a day and still nothing. Although with these Canadian shows, hope is rising. 2 steps away from Canada is NY so maybe something?

^ Have you checked the Nov.5+Nov.10 NYC Thread?  :-\

yeah, registered for the presale and all....this is gonna be friggin great!
