I'll be there for sure!

I'll be there!!!

im there

Im there as well.

I'm still working out the details.  I hope I'll be there!

I'm definetly there!

I'm there! It's gonna be a great night!

I'm there for sure!!!!    :beer: woooo!

Hmmmmmmmmmm.................

I get to visit my wife and see my boy Axl, oh yeah I'm there!

Will be a great show as long as Axl hits the stage by 9 Am the next day i gotta go to work lol

:rofl:

im goin !

dangnr and i are both going!

looks like we have been sent over here eh?

Yeah, all Halifax discussion is here now. Think of all the new tunes we could be hearing Nov. 20. The setlist should be changed up quite a bit by then. We may even get the album the next day, Nov. 21.

Maybe Axl will give out some free copies?  :hihi:

i like what buddy said in an eariler thread. he said somebody he knows works for a music store and they looked into getting guns to play a concert there the night before CD comes out, but they couldent because they were leaving to tour canada. the first date is Toronto on nov 15th so is it november 13th?

this seems realistic to me. i like the rumours that have some sort of origins and make sense. as opposed to that one idiot who said its coming out boxing day because the press release said "there are only 13 more tuesdays this year", he thought that ment the 13th tuesday will be the release.

at least this one makes sense.

For those of u that have seen a concert at the metro centre, how close is section 7 to the stage. ?Are we going to have to be looking at the screens to see the action or can we watch the stage without a problem. ?Looking at the seating map, i think we'll be pretty close.

seriously? section 7, your right on the stage. the only way would could get closer (excluding the floor) is if u take a guitar and try to join the band.

Got my GA tickets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fuck yeah!!

Section 7 row K? : ok:

SlashNRoses, myself and 1 other buddy are gonna be there for 2 nights? :peace:

Can som eone help me out on this Pre Sale Business? ive never used it before I need help.

Ill be there wit Prettytiedup and another dude, gonna be a rocking 2 days, cant wait

 :smoking:

Presale either ended or sold out on ticketatlantic.com  That is quite impressive!!!

im assuming it just ended...im really looking forward to watching the sale tomorrow, see how it goes. im hoping for a sell out by the end of the day at least. show that gnr are alive.

if we get there and its 1/2 full, it will be a fuckin joke.

Yeah, I'm 100% confident that it will sell out eventually. If it sells out tomorrow alone that will kick ass. Great press for GN'R.

yeah people are coming from all over...i bought a ticket for my moms coworker from new germany (90 minutes south of halifax), shes 60 years old haha.

Haha nice. My parents were going to go but decided not to. I told them they're gonna be missing out on one of the best concerts they'll probably ever see.

I cannot believe the friends and family that i have that are so excited about this show.  Wasn't quite expecting this much of a positive reaction.  There are at least 13 of us so far going to the show.  That's not counting my girlfriend's roommate and a lot of their friends.  Gonna be a long 7 wks.

i fuckin hear that...its gonig to take alot of effort by me to concentrate on school until then.

i have a midterm right after the concert too hahaha.

It's only been 4 days since the show was even officially announced and it feels like a few weeks  ;D

Nov. 20 is gonna be a long time coming. Once I have the tickets in my hands I'll feel even more excited.

Hey, how are you able to watch the sale?  That would be cool!!!

Just go on ticketatlantic.com and go through the process of buying the tickets to see the sections become depleted  :beer:

Alright.....6 tickets GA. Front row here I come!!  : ok:

What are GA tickets?

General Admission

Anyone in the Halifax area know/see if people are camping out in front of HMC right now? And if so...is it a big line-up?

I just got home from work and I drove by the metro centre around 130am and there was about a dozen people or so camping out...I circled around a second time and cranked Better as I drove by...not sure if they heard it though  : ok:

that's not too bad then...I wonder when more people will start lining up...or maybe everyone is going to go online lol

Haha, that's right on. Looks to be selling quite well now. Most of the lower bowl seems to be sold

ANYONE HAVE EXTRA TICKETS, I'LL BUY TWO!!! PLEAASE

I bought my tix at the Windsor Superstore this morning right after 9.  There was a short line up then.  I got 2 GA tickets.  A friend of mine got his about 15 mins after and said the GA tickets were sold out, so he got Lower Bowl. My sister got hers about 20 mins ago and all she could get were Upper Bowl.  So, I'm guessing its gonna be sold out soon if not now.

If you're looking for GA, try http://purchase.tickets.com/buy/TicketPurchase?agency=TDC&pid=5859235

If you can't get any there, just go for the tickets that are left now on ticketatlantic.com. It's upper bowl, but it's better than nothing.

I'm there. Section 7 in the club seats. Gonna start drinkin' at lunch time...

I think alot of people from here are in section 7...it's going to be wild...and from what I can tell tickets are selling really well!  : ok:  Halifax loves GN'R!  8)

Yeah it's sweet, we will all be right next to the stage!  ;D...anyone that's booking hotel rooms book their rooms yet?

Mark7955 just booked two rooms for us at the Prince George! See all you fuckers there!  : ok:

I sat in section 7 for Pearl Jam and it was awesome!!!!!!

Prince George is the nicest hotel in Halifax real great place!!!

Hey man, don't go there...I work at a hotel in downtown Halifax...and I'd like to think we have the nicest, albeit, expensive hotel.  :hihi: 

haha I can't wait!

What hotel do you work at?

The Marriott, formerly the Casino Nova Scotia Hotel, formerly the Sheraton yadda yadda yadda  :hihi:

Ahhh ok...you should get some discounts for the GNR fans here...hehe :hihi:

Yeah but our discounts suck...regular rate is like 179...we can get it for 129

its at $169 now at Prince George...seems they put the price up for that day lol

Yeah, everyone is probably booking there because they think Axl might be there too  :hihi:

True, but I'm going there because it's attached to HMC...no need to wait in a line outside to get in haha

Yeah, the PG is very convenient that way...the Delta Barrington and the Delta Halifax are close too.

I got 2 tickets.... LB    21      Q     6-5 

do anyone know how the row and seat numbers work?

seat 1 is closest to the stage is what I heard

How many rows up is Q?

Row A is closest to the floor...row S is the very top by the concourse...seat 6,5 is probably closest to section 20

I think seat 1 is on the right side looking down on your section

It looks like Halifax is going to be the first soldout show.  There appears to be only 2 upper level sections left to sell.

seat 1 is closest to the stage on the side of section 7, so on the other side, seat 16 would be closest. if your standing in the section looking down at the floor, seat 1 is going to be on the right hand side.

That is sooooo awesome!!!  : ok: 8)

i just tried to buy (to see what it would give me) and it gave me section 40 row J. section 40 is close so i would assume they still have 3/4 the upper bowl to sell...

where did u hear there are only 2 sections left?

nevermind, i was only trying ot buy 1 ticket. i just tried 3, gave me section 38, way in the back

probably about 1/4 of it left to sell now.

That is still good foronly being on sale for 4.5 hours

i was hoping for a sweet 20 minute sell out

I just called ticket atlantic...she said they only have 4 sections of the upper bowl left

makes sense, the far 2 sections, and the 2 sections behind the stage.

We'll get that when GN'R come back  :hihi:

I am in LB 21 Q 11-13....see you there.

Hey guys im trying to get as many people on msn that are going to the Halifax show.  My msn is jc_fanatic2000@hotmail.com

This is going to be great, gonna need to have a few? :beer: at the hotel bar before the show.

Haha yeah. A guy here is trying to get a pre party organised http://www.mygnrforum.com/index.php?showtopic=80165

 :beer:

small world. Im going with my nephews (who are 17-18 years old) Im 22. Been a fan since like 1999. Its gonna be awsome

Fan since '92 or so here! I'm only 20 but my 23 year old brother got me into GN'R when he was around 9  :hihi:

I"m going with my girlfriend who doesn't even like GN'R...figure that fucker out!

I'm sure she'll like them after the show.  I can't see it possible not to enjoy a GnR show.  There is a group of 10 going with me. Gonna be a blast.

That's true. How can you not enjoy a Guns N' Roses concert. Watchin' New Jersey '92 Now! See you all there.

I've been wondering if there's anything going on downtown after the show.  I'm probably hanging down there for a while after the concert.

as far as sales go I can haul out a lot of tickets in a row in section 37 and 36...But i think only those 2 sections left

I gotta group of like 12 people goin with me. Were gonna go downtown and everything after, prolly go out for supper somewhere before. How many tickets are left for the concert exactly?

Looks like it is soldout.  Can only buy 1 ticket now.

not true, it would let me buy 3 seats, but not 4.

and there are a few single seats left up in 35 too.

I just tried for two and I couldn't get any...looks like single seats only.  : ok:

yup just singles...and the best one is section 35 high up, so they are pretty much sold out. pretty awesome!

few hours ago i could only get 7 in a row so it went pretty fast

i hope it acually sells out, just so it will say sold out on the site haha. it would be alot cooler. i think alot of non- fans are suprised its sold out. we arent tho eh!

listening to marquee 87'. cant wait.

I can't even get a sit now...I think the place is sold out! : ok:

I am LB 21 Q 10 !!!!!!!!!  How fucking random is that!!! :beer: I will kick back a few brew with ya if i can afford it! : ok:

I just tried and was able to get one seat. But any way we look at it, the place is virtually sold out. Should be 0 seats left within an hour.

You cannot buy one seat now.  Looks like were the first sellout on the tour. 

Fucking right! We know our good rock bands  : ok:

keep in mind its a 10,100 seat venue.

That's true, but we also have a much smaller population.

..and plus all the people on the floor?

Well, it's around 10,000 with all the seats, not counting the floor. But the seats behind the stage aren't being used, so there should be at least 10,000 people there.

yes and minus the sections behind the stage....

edit : sorry i didnt see your post. thanks.

im going to burn/watch paris 92' tonight. i dont think ill make it another 2 months...

Very good show! And you get the Warren Betty rant before DTJ  :beer:

Me and 4 friends will be at this show.

depending on how many they squeeze in they can get a bit over 10 000. GNR has the most seast on the arena open that ive seen from any band thats played there.

^^ yeah exactly. Look at all the other bands seatin plans playing there. Some only have half the arena while guns N' Roses have more than anyone.

im going to the goo goo dolls the next night and they only play 1/2 the arena. and there are still seats left

i got lower bowl no problem.

^^ Yeah I know. I got two friends that have like front row tickets because they're only playing ot half the arena and because the tickets haven't sold. Man that's pretty bad...Personally not a big Goo Goo Dolls fan. All their songs seem to be pop ballads. Plus I can only skip so many days of school and I only have so much money.

im a huge goo goo dolls fan. their songs are defintally all written using the same formula but i like thme. its funny cuz gnr are my favourite band, goo goo dolls are my 2nd band, and they are playing back to back...crazy

ps. a weird combination, i know.

I like "Iris" and some other song I was thinking about going but decided not to. Lucky I didn't or I wouldn't have been able to see guns N Roses. I always like a mix of rock and soft songs.

it says on the ticket atlantic site "no camera, audio or video recording equipment" so it looks like a disposable camera for me eh.

lol that won't stop anyone from taking a camera...it would be cool however if axl says: "Take that motherfucker's camera" haha

I know the show is now sold out but did they lower the prices of tickets at some point again?
Just looked at the site and it shows these prices...

GA FLR-STANDING   $69.50 
LOWER BOWL   $69.50 
UPPER BOWL   $54.50

Yeah, I'm going to grab a $12 dollar disposable, I'd rather lose that than a $ 300 digital camera any day...just need to figure a way to get it in.

That's before they add the $6 fee to each ticket. Someone just made a mistake and posted the price at $69.50 when they first listed the concert without adding the fee in. It was always listed at the lower prices at the checkout site, with the fee added after you added the items.

oh ok...I just thought it showed $75.50 on both pages

I notice when you go on ticket atlantic you can't get a seat anywhere, but when you go on the guns n roses website and get tickets through there you can still get the floor...what's up with that??? Has the show officially sold out and if so than why doesn't ticket atlantic say so?

lol that won't stop anyone from taking a camera...it would be cool however if axl says: "Take that motherfucker's camera" haha

yeah but im not losing a 300 dollar camera...

this is off topic, kind of, but i was thinknig about it last night. i live in halifax, and last year i lived with 9 guys. one of the guys is from St.Vincent (the carribean), and anyways i was talking about the song nightrain and the wine and how its bum wine but they dont have it up here and kwesi goes "yeah that stuff is terrible" and i almost exploded. turns out they have it there, they dont drink it but they use it to cook. so his mom brought me a bottle for christmas. so i loaded nightrain on my ipod, put it on repeat, and drank the bottle at a friends listening to nightrain over and over. when i was done i filled the bottle with fruit punch (red) and put it as the prize of my bottle collection...pretty cool unless they sell nightrain close to you.

None of the Canadian dates work properly through GNR's site. Credit card authorization results in an error everytime

Ticket Atlantic should have it listed as sold out, but they haven't done so yet.

Cool story, I'd do the same thing if I had my hands on a bottle of Nightrain. Pretend we're back in 80s living the rock lifestyle getting loaded on cheap wine. I'd love to have a bottle of that stuff in my collection. Apparently it is only $1.99 a bottle, no wonder they drank this stuff

 :hihi:

(http://www.plateoftheday.com/food_blog/nightTrainNThunderbird.gif)

read the bottom of night train, MAY CAUSE HEALTH PROBLEMS AND BIRTH DEFECTS :beer:

yes thats the bottle. i was dissapointed, i thought the label was too fancy. i wish i had a bottle circa 87' but im happy with what i got  :P

Haha, I just went to the NSLC drive-thru with my brother and he asked for a bottle of Night Train  :rofl:

Of course we know they don't carry it but he did it for a laugh. Then when we got to the window to pay for the pint of rum, the guy said, "What's Night Train, bud?" We said it was a cheap wine and he asked if we were from around here lol. Maybe he thought we were fucking around with him. We should of had Nightrain playing as we were driving through.

i sent an email to ticket altantic to show it sold out just cuz i want to see it on the site haha.

Same here, I need to see it say "SOLD OUT".

You know, technically, Guns could add another show at the Metro Centre on the 22nd or 23rd if they wanted to...after the Goo Goo Dolls on the 21st, the Metro Centre is available until the 29th and Guns next show after Halifax is in Cleveland on the 24th...so if the boys felt ambitious, they could chill in Hali for a day and then play another show on the 22nd!!??!!??  I know, I'm dreaming at this point...but hey, why not!  : ok:

I should have bought a few extra tickets in Section 7....eBay has lots of crappy seats for auction.

Where are you in Sec 7?  I'm row N!

Row K? : ok:

they should have a list, and where we are sitting. im sec 7, row L, seats 1-2

also ticket altantic emailed me back, they said they havent said its sold out yet, they are waiting to see if they can open up the sections beside the stage.

Looks like they have more room now, GA tickets are avilable on ticketatlantic.com.

i just bought a appetite tshirt for the show  :P

plus ive always wanted one. im down to 1,500 dollars to last me till april. looks like im getting a job...anybody in halifax here a manager of some store or anything?

Dude, head down to the Marriott, you are guaranteed a job!!!

im a student so im looking for VERY part time work (like two 4 hours shifts a week). also i live up by the shopping center so im a ways from the marriot.

and yes i relize i live RIGHT next to the biggest mall in halifax and im looking for a job, but im picky. i wouldent mind working at a hotel tho.

this isnt 'bring back slash' talk or anything but ive noticed watching new gnr live, i wish robin would play the old solos the way they were written...like i relize hes trying to put his own spin on the songs and do them his way...but this isnt a guns cover band. when i hear his solo during sweet child o mine i always feel like hes butchering it. same with the paradise city solo on the video on gnr.com...

what do you guys think?

Where did you get the shirt??

ebay

just got 2 floor tickets for 2 of my friends that wanted to go.

Was anyone ever in section 7 for a show and am i going to be able to see the whole stage or moreso the side of the stage.  I'm in row R.

Section 7 is good...the last time The Hip played here I sat in section 7...you are not as face on as you would like, but the band moves around enough that we probably won't even notice.

i was there for pearl jam ur on the side but still nice and close!!! Ull love it

RUmors of a November 21st release date this is awesome we get too see them right before the cd hits stores!!!!

Pull an all-nighter after the show...hit the Dome until 3:30, grab a bite to eat at the Apple Barrell and wait outside Sam the Record Man for the doors to open!  :hihi:

Maybe they will sell the album at the Merch stand? Or Axl could give out 1000 free copies or something  :hihi:

Yeah, that would be sweet...Axl starts biffing cd's in the crowd...he might take someones head off.   :rofl: 

LOL

I can see it being an all-nighter regardles  :yes:

anyone know how to e mail any members of the band like richard or tommy?

I dunno but does anyone know if I'll be able to see? I've got the front row...Of section 11. I've been to one show before {Motley Crue} but for that show I had tickets right up front so I'm wondering if I'm gonig to be able to see.

so now we have to resell this concert out

Ya how many more GA tickets are they selling? or how many have they sold?...does anyone know?

just got my gnr and my goo goo dolls tickets in the mail! yea yea!!

Sweet, that means mine should be arriving Tuesday!

Got my tickets a few days ago in the mail : ok:

(http://img183.imageshack.us/img183/5577/ticketstl8.jpg)

nice..can't wait to get mine!

Nice, too bad I know what the tickets look like now!  :hihi:

You must have picked XpressPost did you? I just used the regular mail option.

Yea I went with XpressPost, I just had to have them asap.

i went regular and mine arrived yesterday.

I hope I get mine on Tuesday...hell I don't even live that far from the Metro Centre...what's the friggin' hold up?  :hihi:

I talked to alot of people who were planning on seeing the show who either ended up with crappy seats and didn't bother getting them or just ended up with crappy seats and decided to suck it up!

I see that you can still get the floor and upper bowl now; and yeaterday you could get 19 in the lower bowl.
I'd like to know how many seats that actually have left, it seems it keeps changing.

they keep adding sections. not sure how many tickets have been sold since they did that.

Can someone tell me if I'll be able to see from the front row of section 11?

Im section 21 row Q seat 10. How will I be able to see? and does the seat numbers start on the right side or left/

Section 11 is in the back corner right side of the stage looking on....it should be pretty good for you, atleast you don't have to look over people's heads.

This is the seating chart for the GN'R show!

This Blows:

        SEBASTIAN BACH Forced To Miss Puerto Rico, Halifax Dates On GUNS N' ROSES Tour - Oct. 7, 2006
Former SKID ROW frontman Sebastian Bach has posted the following message on his official web site:

"We are so excited to be going on tour with GUNS N' ROSES in the biggest rooms in North America for the next four months! I have waited for the perfect opportunity to tour North America again and GUNS N' ROSES is absolutely the greatest tour any of us could ever imagine being on. It has been over ten years since I have screamed in a lot of these places, and there are many shows on this tour I have dreamed of playing but never in my career have I actually played ... until now! Madison Square Garden, Air Canada Center, and The Palace of Auburn Hills are all just some of the dates on the tour that I have wanted to play for years and can't believe in 2006 I finally get to rock in these hallowed halls!!!

"So it is with a heavy heart that I have to announce that there are two shows that we unfortunately cannot play on the tour ? Puerto Rico and Halifax, both due to prior commitments. I am especially bummed out about missing the Halifax show because I have many friends there now due to my buds The Trailer Park Boys! I have never played Halifax before and was really looking forward to partying with Ricky, Bubbles and Julian and the rest of the cast and crew in their hometown! I hereby make it a commitment of mine to come back to Halifax and we would be there on the GNR tour but I have to shoot a TV show in L.A. that day. FUCK!!!! We will however be on every other show of the GNR tour!!! This is like a dream come true! Again!"

that sucks. i wonder who will open now...i wonder what velvet revolver is doing...

here's the plan, book velvet revolver. at the hotel kidnap weiland and kushner. Then kidnap everybody from gnr minus axl, then import izzy from wherever the fuck he is. i think it will work.

This sux ass....GNR better get 2 solid opening bands i hate having to sit threw trash before the main act.

That fucking pisses me off. I was massively psyched as I'm a huge Bach fan and would pay to see him alone. So now they need two good opening bands or I will be disappointed. They should fly Buckcherry up and get them to be one of the openers.

Yeah, I'm really bumed out also that Bach won't be there now...was looking forward to him opening and "My Michelle"

Yeah, that's too bad that Baz isn't going to be there..  So was Papa Roach supposed to be the other opening act or has anything actually been announced?

papa roach is off the tour nov 3rd aka not going to halifax. maybe they will fill in for baz but i dunno. so right now we have 2 opening acts TBA. should be intresting.

cmon mix master mike!

They should get stand up comedy of Tourettes guy ;D

Looks like it is soldout again. You cannot get a single seat now.

GOT MY TICKET!!! :beer: And a free hamburger platter!

I wanna know the openers.

I got my tickets in the mail!!!! 40 days to go!

Tickets came today! Time to celebrate  :beer:

i just was downtown in hali and saw a gnr poster on a wall, i stole it. its pretty sweet. just a small flyer.

Post a pic  : ok:

my photobucket doesnt seem to be working. ill try later.

i just cut off all my hair. i was trying to keep it for the guns concert (my hair was past my shoulders) but i couldent do it. 5 years of hair is gone.

<a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l99/gnrsucks/Picture001.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a>

there is the poster i stole.

also i saw a gnr add at the mooseheads game tonight. we had a skybox, free booze and free food. needless to say im hammered. i cant believe i got photobucket to work haha wow.

Awesome poster dude!

So, are you guys all going to the mygnr board meeting? Once I'm coming over all the way from fucking Switzerland for that show (and, admittedly, for some other shows too), I wanna meet you DLMFs!

Yeah, where did you steal it from? ?I haven't seen any downtown. ?Have you checked out Rock Candy downtown yet? i was there today, they have a few things with the old GN'R logo on it....the bar stool, deck of cards, the clock, only a few t-shirts and some random stuff!

37 days and counting... : ok:

I didn't know anything about a board meeting.  ::)

yeah either did i

I think tonya is talking about this thread http://www.mygnrforum.com/index.php?showtopic=80165

Nothing seems to have come out of it though. We should just pick a bar or something and book it for so many hours before the show starts.

one thing we could do is book the propeller brewery. its just up the hill from the metro center. they have a room for you to drink in, its 15 bucks a person for 2 hours all you can drink. minimum 10 people. they have 4 types of beer on tap, they have tv there, cd player, you can order food in if you want. I went for my house party last year and it was awesome. we had a relally good time. It would only be us there (plus the brewery guys) so thats really the only difference between it and a bar. 1.all you can drink 2.its private. anyways just throwing that out there.

Sounds like a good idea! Especially the all you can drink for $15 part  :beer:

yeah and the beer is great. they have regular ale, something else i forgot, honey wheat (my fav) and bitter which is like guiness.

Cool! Does that place have a website & map?
So, now we gotta find 10 people. 9 actually, cause you can count me in :)

http://www.drinkpropeller.ca/

you can throw a rock from propeller and hit the metro center...

Nice poster

(http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l99/gnrsucks/Picture001.jpg)

I want one! :drool:

then head downtown

I'm in Fredericton....and there's none downtown here  :hihi:

I was in downtown Halifax looking last night, didn't see any.  I've got a few people on the watch for me.

i think i was on barrington street. i dont relaly remember. we were all over the city that night. it was below pizza corner i remember that.

I'll take another look around there when I'm in Halifax Thursday evening.  I saw a bunch of Sam Roberts posters around Pizza Corner, if you're into that kind of thing, lol.

Daubs the Propeller Brewery sounds like a good plan. I have at least 6, possibly 8 people going with me, I'll double check with them this week.

It's funny you mentioned Propeller beer, I had forgotten all about it until I saw " The Trailer Park Boys" movie. They were drinking it while they were at the Strip club.

i emailed them asking how many people our maximum could be (because i know of at least 2 groups of 10+ going, so we would be looking at like 40-50 people i think). ill see what they say. it may just be best to go to a local bar. also i dont want to get too fucked up, i acually want to remember this concert haha.

Id like to meet up too  meet some of u fuckers lol

There is also the Ale House which is even closer than Propeller...if that falls through  : ok:

personally i would rather go to the alehouse. just because its less organized and we are freer to do whatever. i vote alehouse. good choice.

Maybe we can get a  section of the Ale House booked then?

it will be monday at like 5pm, i think we will be ok.

If we do decide to go to the Alehouse we should give them a heads up so they don't frak when 50 people walk in!  :hihi:

Propeller Brewery or the Alehouse sounds good too me...got to have a rockin' time before the concert!...but I agree, we should give them a heads up

im just fuckin blown away by seein a halifax thread on this site, ive been posting since like 2002 !! this is crazzzy

T - minus 29 days and counting!   : ok:

So have any of you got any plans to try and see Axl and the band when they enter/exit the Metro Centre before/after the show?  And does anyone know where the entrance is that the bands use?

Is there any word on who will open?

According to Papa Roach's tour schedule they are in Milwaukee on the 20th of november, so looks like its not Papa Roach (thank god).

GNR has just been confirmed to play at Harbour Station in Saint John, NB on Nov 21st.

http://www.harbourstation.nb.ca/event.cfm?argID=6725C154-0787-1EF1-47B18654D2ACA2BA

Bah well, Halifax will be a great trip just the same.? Although I'm only an hour from SJ? :-\

Well go to both gigs then? I've been to 8 this summer and am planning on 9 more, there's nothing wrong with that! (at least that's what I tell myself :hihi: ).

What about the board meeting now? Alehouse or Propeller? Hey it's my birthday, I wanna party that night!

I'm definetly looking into a trip to Saint John now!!!!  : ok:

Holy shit, awesome! I just might have to go to St. John now.

What's the deal, where are you guys headed? I'm done class at 5:30pm in Wolfville and then on my way to the city, with two friends. I have an 8:30AM class the next day so I might not drink a lot.... :peace:

i say just go to the alehouse. round 6-7.

We are just three weeks away people, can you feel it!!!!

Fuck Yeah!!!!!!? ?: ok:

You might want to plan on missing your class.... last nights show didnt get over till 2am.

You can go to class next week man GnR dosnt roll into tow very often!!

i have to work at 8am haha, i might ask if somebody will cover

The Monday I found out for sure they were coming I booked off the 20th and 21st...twice, just to be on the safe side.? :hihi:

Just a shot in the dark, but anyone ever been to a concert at the metro center and sat in section 7 in the lowerbowl, if so if yah got some pictures or know anyone itd be cool to see em to see how close we're actually gonna be, just a thought.

slash

 :smoking:

Check it out.... http://pollstar.com/tour/searchall.pl?By=Venue&Content=BNSHAHM&PSKey=Y&Date=11/20/06 .... Pollstar list Sebastian Bach at the Metro Center on Nov 20th. Maybe he will be there after all.

I sat there for The Hip a couple of years ago...I was pretty far back but it was a pretty good view...I'm not complaining, I'm in sec 7 for GN'R too!

Possible single upperbowl ticket for this concert is available...anyone?

T-Minus 19 days...and counting.. : ok:

I just bought 2 section 7 tickets of ticketatlantic.com today.  Also general admission available.

so they released even more tickets? just the other night everything was gone

Funny thing is, these seats are a few rows in front of the tickets i bought during the presale and i am giving them to a relative.

thats fucking stupid...i dont understand what is happening. im not impressed with that at all. im not complaining about my tickets, im just saying in general i think its a shitty policy. clearly they were holding thoes tickets for some reason. i might email them and ask for an explaination. could u tell me the section - row- seats so i can give specs?

Section 7
Row J
Seats 1-2

Do we have any idea on the opener yet?

I can't even begin to speculate who they are going to get...we are the only show on the tour with no opening act.  :confused:

Maybe the Trailer Park Boys are available?  ;D

"liqour and whoorres....."

Yeah, we'll have "The Comedy Hour" with Ricky, Bubbles and Julian!   :hihi:

It would be awesome if the Hip would open for them.  : ok:

Usually promotors hold a bunch of tickets to give away to media and what not, but if not used they'll be released to the public.  Some seats are also held back because of the potential for an obstructed view (by stage equipment and what not) and sometimes they'll get released if they later determine there are no obstructions.  Happens all the time.

thanks for the explaination. It makes sense. There isnt anything wrong with that. better to release them then let them go unused ala mooseheads.

It would be awesome if the Hip didn't suck.  That's my humble opinion.  Anyways they'll probably grab a local band to do the gig.  I think Bach is still doing the Saint John NB show if it's worth the drive for you to see him.

The hip's new album is incredable. The hip are incredable.

so when do we find out who is opening? it's only 15days away

Tell me that wasn't serious... LOL LOL LOL

Are you starting to feel it...they're fucking coming...less than two weeks people...I haven't felt this excited since I was a kid waiting for Christmas!!!!

I saw the Hip open for the Rolling Stones last summer in Moncton.  They were pretty good actually.  Got everybody wound up for the Stones, which is more than I can say for Maroon5.

Notice the upper bowl is sold back out. now they opened up parts of the lower bowl and u the floor is down to 4 side by side again. Its gonna be packed there.

i agree it seems they are packing people in.

Looks again. There are seats available everywhere. Upper, Lower and Floor.

I actually just stuck a couple seats on ebay that include a return limo trip from the South Shore (Chester).. or any point inbetween.
So if you or someone you know is looking to travel in style.. let me know.

Also, I used to really enjoy the Hip but as of late (including Moncton) Gordie gets lost from the songs and his continuous rembling grates on my last nerve. Play the songs and they will rock.. ramble and the suck. JMO

Be nice though if they did actually say who may be opening up.. but then again if it's nobody we may see Axl take to the stage before 3am....lol

Is Jarmo going to this show...I thought I read that he was going to be at a few North American shows?

Someone on MyGNR said the afterparty will be at Bubbles' Mansion. I didn't know Bubble's had his own bar now, pretty cool!? : ok: Did anyone else hear about the party being here?

It makes sense for the party to be there, since Bach has said Axl is a fan of the Trailer Park Boys. And maybe Sebastian will show up after all.

Yeah that's it.. he won't play the show but instead be at the after party... good thinking.. ???

 :rofl:

No, I meant he will open at the show!  : ok:

isnt bubbles mansion in bedford? kind of out of the way for an after partyy....

From what I've read online(I'm not from Halifax), it's right by the Metro Centre... 5287 Prince St. Upstairs from the Keg and close to the Ale House.

ok in that case the keg is right by the metro center and just below the alehouse your right. thats really close. my mistake.

Yeah it's just around the corner from the Metro Centre

Did everyone enjoy the November Rain today!   :rofl:

In reply to the above message: No, Jarmo will not make it to Halifax. Keep me informed about the afterparty though, sounds like those people go through quite some trouble making this one hell of a birthday for me ;) .

The suicide girls are the opening act.  Thats definitely gonna be something to see    :drool:

Kinda sucks but oh well.. maybe, just maybe there will ba another band playing as well.

10 fucking days!!!!

This sucks...We miss out on Sebastian Bach and get the fucking Suicide Girls?!? What are they even going to do, just get on stage and strip? I paid for music not for lame-ass live porn. I'd rather have papa roach for gods sake.

I just joined this site so I'm pretty late on my comments :P
But, I saw Motley Crue at the Metro Centre recently and they were really strict about not taking cameras in... My friend had his digital, and when we went in there was a HUGE pile of disposable cameras at the line up that had been confiscated, and a couple regular 35mm cams, but he took one guy aside and convinced him to let him take his cam in, b/c he said he couldn't afford losing it (too expensive) and that he didnt know the rules... buddy sa id just don't take it out... of course we did and snuck a couple pics, but one of the floor walkers (we were row 15 front of the stage) noticed and took it, and it was quite a process to get it back after the show... I wouldn't risk anything expensive, and they search everything really bad at the Metro, so I'd hide it like down your pants or something, lol, and make sure there's no metal on it b/c they use metal detectors :P
*Sorry for the long blurb!* :P
btw... my seats are 23, Row C, 1&2... any1 near me?

Come on next Monday!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1 weeek i cant fuckin wait!!!

Kinda late, anyone know where the after party is going to be at?

No news really and six days before the concert I guess were only gonna get 1 opening band

it's almost here... less than a week.. I can't wait.. she's gonna rock!
And who is this opening band you speak of?

I didn't find them very strick because they let us in with a bunch of cell phones and we didn't bother hiding them when we took a million pics.

To answer my own question.. http://www.myspace.com/diemannequin are opening.

And as for cameras.. usually they are pretty good if you get it through the door.

All posted on ticket atlantics site...

...with special guests The Trews and Die Mannequin and appearances by the Suicide Girls.

Awesome the Trews kick ass, saw them first year in university.

so did i, first year dal (frosh 04) and also saw them open for nickleback. they were better than nickleback as far as i was concerned.
this is awesome, 4 bands.

So this isn't too shabby at all now! ?;D

I love the trews, so I'm happy about that... Seen them a couple times, but no biggy... I'm also not so worried about Bach not making it... I saw Skid Row open for Kiss, and I'm fine with just seeing that one gig :P    I've never heard of the Die Mannequin before but they don't look like my cup of tea, and I'm not so excited about the Suicide Girls... But what the hell, at least we know we're gonna see one of the best bands ever and that's worth suffereing through anything! ?;)

YEAAA!!! ?ONLY 5 F'IN DAYS!!!!! ? :beer:

Daubs, where did trews play for frosh 04?
I was frosh 03, it was a pretty good time, but didn't see any fun bands play :(

they played the quad at dal. they set the stage up pretty much where the library parking lot ends, so we were all standing on the hill part of the quad looking down on the stage. it was a pretty good set up. they did the uni circut that year.

Oh, and As for the afterparty, one of my close friends is dating a guy who works at Bubble's mansion and is close friends with the Trailor Park Boys, who are ultimately close with GNR... or at least I suppose Axl & Mike... anyway, I'd been trying to keep updated on their plans for that night, and as of yesterday they hadn't decided whether they were going to open up the bar or just keep it small and VIP... but I did hear the afterparty announced as there this morning on Q104, so I'm thinking this is really good news! :) It would just suck to have a small VIP only after-party when 10'000 people are pumped about them coming to town..... I'm excited!!

If anybody has any more clarified ?info on the afterparty, fill me in, will ya?

that's awesome... I don't know where I was then! Not back in Halifax yet, I guess... would have like to have seen that, though!

So has anybody decided on drinking somewhere before the show?
A friend and I are having drinks at the Lord Nelson bar first, then either Maxwell's Plum or Alehouse I think... anything exciting going on?  :yes:

Yup, in the limo on the way to the show!  8)
If you see a limo pull up in front of the metro centre... relax, it's probably just me and 7 friends..hahaha

Yeah, with Three Days Grace also.

Yeah, with Three Days Grace also.

TDG were the best part of the concert. they were great. very underrated band!

I must agree, I thought they were awesome.

Hey everybody just signed up for this message board. Nice to meet you all. I have been reading for a couple of days and you all sound like me. Sweet. I'm coming from P.E.I. to the Halifax concert and can't wait. I still can't believe there coming. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I'm in section 34-D-14 so if your in there say hi. I'm also interested in the pre concert and post concert  :beer: and partying. Anyway talk to ya soon.

--Hexy--

GUNS N' FUCKIN' ROSES IN 4 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOO? :drool: :beer: ...excited?? :rofl:

Anyone else hear that the Trews are opening up in halifax

yes, everyone I am assuming

a guy posted this in another thread here, he emailed q104 about the release and the reply said
"Q104 is having The Official After Party at Bubbles Mansion after The Guns Show at The Metro Center. Axl and his entourage will be showing up for this ..Bubbles is hosting it. ...so if you go you can ask Axl yourself."

anybody know if this is open to public or vip? also we should finalize some plans...alehouse before the show? and when?

that will be FUCKING CRAZY if we can go to bubbles mansion with axl. im also excited for the opening acts too. trews are great, i listened to some die mannequin and liked it...but i dont even really know what the sucide girls is...anyways, 4 fucking days wholy shit....

wow daubs, although im not doubting you, i am however doubting your sources. i think this is a scheme to get tons of business and lots appl in there, what madman would publicy tell everyone that axl will be at some small pub, and everyone show up?
theres gonna be 1000 ppl waiting outside to get in.

p.s suicide girls is a burlesque showing featuring 4 skanky nasty british girls who are nekkid but covered in tattoos and body peircings, not sure exactly how they will entertain but we'll see in 4 days.

im not saying its 100% but think about it. a guy in halifax owns a bar...and he was onstage with axl rose last night....it only makes sense.

I'll be very surprised if he's not onstage at some point. But as far as calling TPB openers ... I wouldn't

i agree it makes total sense, but everyone is going to go a bar where they cant drink legally after 2?


i dunno seems far fetched but we'll see

I'm sure they can bend the rules for when Axl Rose shows up  ;D

It is confirmed the after-party is there, but a poster on the last page said they still aren't sure whether to make it VIP or not. It would be the ultimate experience to get in the bar with Axl there, but it would be extremely difficult to get in with it being announced Axl is going to be there. It seems likely they'll limit it to those on a guest list. If only we could somehow get on that list  :drool:

well if certain people get in lets hope its us die hards and not some "wheres slash" type fan.   heretodaygonetohell.com members should be on the VIP!

I agree. Maybe Mysteron or someone could contact management to see about getting us on the guest list.  :hihi:

Yeah, definetly need to konw how to get into Bubbles!

According to the Ticket Atlantic website, the Trews are opening for Guns N Roses in Halifax also.

um, im in NB, going to halifax for the concert, staying 2 nights yadda yadda, how far of a drive is it to "bubbles mansion?", we're at prince george.

The Prince George is on Market Street; The Keg is across the street from the hotel on the corner of Market and Prince Streets...Bubbles' Mansion is above the Keg on Prince Street...you can't miss the shopping carts hanging from outside the building!

OK, so I was listening to Hair Nation on Sirius today around 2pm (atlantic time)...and just before I went to class the DJ said "stick around for information on the upcomming Chinese Democracy"...I waited like 20-30mins listening to music on that channel, I dont know if I missed what she was going to say or if I left for class before she announced something... anyone have any ideas or could they just be causing shit?

Isn't prince George like attached to the metro center?

For the after party at bubbles mansion tickets are for sale for 15 dollars at Bubbles mansion starting today!!!! I just got mine

Shit, for those of us from out of town, can someone pick up extras for us? I could PayPal or something. Thanks!! Us HTGTHers need to get in.

yeah i cant get down anytime soon. also could just pay there.. i mean its just 15 bucks and we have to pay to get in.

You mean pay when the after party starts? I figured the tickets would be sold out and/or there'd be a huge lineup.

no i mean if somebody would pick up tickets for us, couldent we just pay for them (buy them) at the concert? cuz who on this board would ask somebody to get them a ticket and then not go? we are all going, and we all want to go to the after party..im pretty sure we are all reliable.

Yeah, good point. I was thinking that as well, just wasn't sure if anyone would be up for that. If someone could please pick up tickets for us on the board it would be awesome. We could pick a place to meet to pay for them. Anyone up for it?

oh yes...we need tickets for that after party!!!!!!

my friend picked up a ticket. 15 in advance, 20 at the door. he asked if they had sold many and the guy said yes, and also he asked if they were close to sold out and i guess the guy like gasped and said No! so there is hope for you guys.

the only thing is the after party is 10pm-2am, and gnr concerts usually go till 1 at earilest eh? i dunno how it will work.

Yeah, so the party should be 2 - 5 am. Not sure why they would say 10 - 2, doesn't make sense.

yeah, i dunno. whatever i paid for it, i dont care. we will see what happens.

TWO DAYS!!!!!! WOOO

because the bar closes at 2:00 am

Hopefully they don't sell out of after party tickets, cause SlashNRoses and I are in Fredericton.? Even if we only stop there for 30mins!!!?

Only 2 more sleeps? :beer:

BTW - this forum rules? : ok:

what songs is everyone most wanting to hear?????
 I thin everryone from this board that is goin is just happy to hear the boys play!!!! Halifax doesent get shows like this often and the crowd is reallly gonna be into it!!!! alot of big drinkers Im sure lol
but lets just post some songs you are most looking foreward to hearing

 Im lookin foreward to hearin madagascar prolly the most would be cool to hear twat!!!
 rocket queen would be incredible i dont think theyve played it much or at all on this leg have they?

Yeah, they played Rocket Queen a few times; I hope they play it too! Perfect Crime would be cool since they haven't played it yet and it is an option on their set list. TWAT would be great as well, and also the 2 new songs we have never heard: If The World and especially Prostitute. Those songs were listed as options on the Estero, FL setlist pic. Maybe we'll get lucky!

Either way, most of us going to this Halifax show haven't seen GN'R at all or in this incarnation so whatever they play I'll be ecstatic and I'm sure all of you will be too.

only song i hope to hear is 'down on the farm'.

Down On The Farm would definitely be cool.  No matter what they play, Im just satisfied theyre coming to Halifax.  Never did I imagine that they'd come back.

im not a big down on the farm fan, id way rather hear civil war or estranged but i doubt will hear that

Everything on Live Era CD 1 - with the exception of It's Alright. 

Rocket Queen, You Could Be Mine, Out Ta Get Me....there's so many!!!!!!

Coming to this thread a bit late, but better late than never. Surprised to find so many other Haligonians on one message board! I'm very much looking forward to the concert tomorrow, as I missed the Crue and Alice Cooper shows. Figures, the one time I decided to do a term abroad with school, Halifax started getting good metal acts! I'd take Guns over the Crue and Alice in a heartbeat though.  ;D

As for setlist wishes... I'm knocking on wood for 6 new tracks.... I know that typically, they've been doing mostly the old catalogue, but I thought it was great that they were trying out all those new songs earlier on. If we get Better, Madagascar, The Blues, IRS, TWAT, and CD, I'll be pretty happy! I'd love to hear some dirty diamonds from the Illusion albums too (Don't Damn Me, Coma...), but that's a slim hope! In any case, it'll be a thrill just to see the band live.

What's the story on pre-drinking plans? Still got room for another fan?

1 fucknig day. i woke up today and my cousin had messaged me 'gnr canceled' but he didnt fool me. cocksucker...

so are we meeting before the show or what? nobody seems to have responded to that.  i think im going to hang out with slash n roses and prity tied up (may have fucked up the user names) and i think we were all going to meet at the alehouse? everybody say when you want to met up and where, i say alehouse around 6-7

Is everyone here going to Bubbles' afterwards?

I'm sure most of us want to, but with the bar closing at 2am, it's looking like the after party will be VIP only.

Somehow we need to get in to that after party!

i got a ticket. i have no idea how the afterparty is going to go...if they kick ticket holders out at 2 ill be pissed cuz its like 30 minutes then.

Im thinkin that the band will start their show on time in halifax saving time for the after party The bar said that managment assured them that they will be participating in the after party

Anyone know how the ticket sales are going for the after party? I sure hope there are few left when we get in town tomorrow afternoon.

Where in NB are you Mr. Patience?

Saint John

I'd be up for the alehouse at 6. Should I just keep my eyes peeled for folks with long hair and heavy metal shirts? :beer:

Don't think I'll bother trying to go to the after-party... if it's only VIP's after 2am, I don't want to risk wasting my money. That, plus I've gotta work the next day.

if its only vip's after 2 am ill be pissed but i wont regret buying a ticket as it was worth a shot.

im starting drinking at 11 am. Its going to be a long day.
my cell is 529-2633 if somebody wants to get in touch.

fuck sakes theres not many of us on this board that are goin to this after party I wish management or anything would give us some VIP status or even Jarmo if he could, who else would be there that appreciates and loves this band as much as us, plus it would be a kick ass time, us being from the maritimes a small spot dont get too see many bands in our back yard now we get guns n roses the best band fuckin ever!!! it aint fair if some fuckin suits get VIP and we get hung out to dry! I come on this board and read about people meeting Bumblefoot, or fortus from the NY gigs or whatever and heres a chance for us just to say thank you!!  Ive done more promoting for this new GNR in the last 5 years amongst my friends and anyone Ive talked to, i will be crushed when im at bubbles mansion and they ask me to leave at 2 am cause after seein them i know im gonna wanna party all fuckin night

I feel the exact same way dude. All of us who are registered on HTGTH should be able to get into the after party.

thanks bro

especially for this halifax show  cause us members are gonna be the most pumped up and excited!! and have followed this band for years!!! I remeber being soo fuckin excited when the end of days soundtrack came out to hear "ohh my god"  or the big rock in rio in brazil and even the many monthes of silence we've stuck by this band!! lol im kinda venting i guess hahaha  i just cant stand the thought of some jack asses being at an after party for one of the best bands in the world and not even know the members

11am... man, I've not had one of those days in a long time!  :drool:  ;D

I'll try giving you a shout sometime around 530. Added you to msn as well.

The 20th is finally here!!!   
 :beer: 

There is an article in today's Chronicle-Herald (on the front page) saying that Axl won't be onstage until after 11pm and how some lady who wanted to see them can't because she is in a wheel chair and needs to book an Access a Bus but they won't be running after midnight.  I also heard on Q104 this morning that the after party is being pushed later because of the late start. 

WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! leaving NB in under 30 minutes, beer store in 1 hour  :smoking:


SEE U ALL THERE


GUNS AND ROSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wake up....time ta diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie!

I agreee about the afterparty there should be some special status.

finally the 20th!!!!

Halifax thread has tons of posts even more than toronto did and other big places!!!! AXL and the boys are gonna love it!!!!! and were gonna love them

newspaper articles in botht he dialy news and chronicle herald both not that positive daily news one is the better one. In the CHronicle herlad its sayin some woman whos in a wheel chair cant go to the concert because it starts to late and there no pick up vehicles for wheel chairs past midnight taxis and metro transit dont offer that past mid night!! poor woman

I agree, we board members should get some sort of VIP status for being here through the thick and thin and for helping out the word of mouth campaign...I don't know how many arguments I've got into with people who say "I'm not going, it's only Axl!" ?The stupid fuckheads! ?:hihi:

You too eh? lol
Every other person I talk to is like that... screw em!

A BIG Thank You to Noticeboy for helping me offload my section 38, row N for a floor ticket!!!

I'd really like some good die-hards to hang out with on the floor, as I'll be going alone. If anyone is up for meeting and hanging in a group let me know!!


Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sure you'll tag up with some of these fine folks.
That's if I get you the ticket..lol, J/K

4:49...im going to get a shower...everybody excited?

about you having a shower?   :nervous:


back to Halifax show  :hihi: ... have a great time!

about you having a shower?? ?:nervous:

haha i like it.

everybody have a good time eh.

Whoo, this is the night!

I gave all of my bud G n' r shirts for the concert, one of my buddy's wife is wearing my shirt I had since 1991. It doesn't fit me any more. So I figue that with the all of the opening acts Axl and company should take the stage around 10:30, 11 pm.

I was talking to the staff at Bubble's Mansion today and they said they were axpecting the band at 12"30 but that has changed. As of this afternoon they were waiting to get word as to whether or not teh y could stay opened later, they're waiting an a licience to be issued.

All of the after hours tickets are sold out, now it's all on the band shoulder's to show up on time.

Either way have fun gang, I know will. I'm getting ready to leave now, this should be great.

Cheers!

DH

thanks..... what is liquor and whores??

WHAT AN UNBELIEVABLE SHOW. It was surreal! I'm still reeling from it, and thinking about leaving for Saint John now.

Liqour and Whores was done when Axl brought The Trailer Park Boys on stage and Bubbles comes in and says, to great applause "This is one we play down at the legion sometimes - called liqour and hoes".

Overall, the night was just unbelievable.

Die Mannequin was a little offkey, but good

Suicide Girls were kinda lame, but some nice t*tties being shown.

The Trews rocked the house and had the place pumpin by the end.

GnR just blew me away, and I think Halifax blew them away too!!!

An unbelievable show is right!!  WOW

Did anyone make it to the after party?

We brought in a disposable and will be getting the pics developed today...hopefully they turned out.  Anyone have any pics/vids?  I'd love to get a hold of some!!  email me:  y84se@hotmail.com

 :peace:

I had such a great time, the band sounded great.  Met the singer from Die Mannequin, cute girl, got a signed cd from her.  Enjoyed the Suicide girls.  mmm boobies.   Not a Trews fan, but they were pretty good.  Before the Trews, I bumped into Frank (happiest guy on earth) and Del James who were wandering around the floor.  Very cool guys. 
GNR were awesome, even better than when I saw them in Toronto 2002.  Getting to hear Better in person was amazing, love that song.  I liked the solos and jams the band did, way better in person than hearing a bootleg.  When the new songs started people didnt react, but got a good responce when finished.   Hearing the whole band play L&W's with the TPB's was hilarious. Tommy was laughing his ass off the whole time for that one.
A lot of people were expecting train wreck, but left surprised at how good the show was.  GNR won over a lot of skeptics last night. Now if they an just get that album out.......
Thanks for coming to Halifax!!!



"Cig'retts and dope and mustard and balogna and liquor and whores"

The show was amazing..deffinetly a major highlight of my life. I was in HMV today with Jono and saw a blank cd case that said on the cover.."Chinese Democracy: Release date December 19, 2006"..not sure if its credible or not but I hope so.

Really...! Wow, that's probably the most convincing thing I've heard as far as the release dates go. I'll have to drop by HMV and see for myself, haha.

Hey Filthy, i saw Del and Frank walking the crowd too...I don't know, but it looked like they were scoping out for chicks or something...I only saw one gut walk up to them in the whole crowd (do you have long dark hair)  Anyway Del walked up the aisle by my section with a walkie and a flashlight...I wanted to say something but I didn't.

here it is:

Overall it was a really great show. I've never seen Guns N' Roses before and have been waiting since I was 13 to finally have the chance. So just getting to go to this show was a pretty big deal to me. At the same time, it was going to be very hard for it to fully live up to my expectations. But even considering that, I can't really complain too much.

When we got in line around 7:45, a security guy was yelling out all the stuff you can't take in. One of them was wallet chains. When he said that, he pointed right at mine. So I had to get out of line and take it back to the car. That sucked, but wasn't the end of the world. But when I came back the line was gone.

When I got in, we found our seats, realized they weren't half bad, then went to check out the merch. My wife and I each got a shirt, I grabbed one of the posters and a skull cap with the old GN'R logo for our son.

Around 8:30 Die Mannequin came on. They sucked ass. I like a lot of different types of music and lots of it other people would say is horrible. But that band was not good. The singer kept getting down in front of the stage. Every time she did that I thought, "Great, the time it takes her to go down there, sing and then climb back on the stage, means it's going to take that much longer for the song to end." Eventually they did stop, but only after a very long, annoying song that again involved the singer going down off the stage.

The Suicide Girls came on maybe 9:00-9:30ish. Not bad for what it was, but kind of boring after a while.

The Trews came on sometime after 10:00. They weren't bad, but not really my thing.

It must have been around 11:30-11:45 when GN'R came on. Everyone was going nuts during the into music and as soon as Robin started playing the opening to "Welcome to the Jungle" the place just exploded. It was pretty overwhelming for me and kind of hard to describe. It sent tingles up my spine and my knees were a little shaky. It was just a flood of emotions and adrenaline all at once. I did noticed right away that Axl's voice was getting lost in the mix. The other thing I found was they weren't really loud enough. It was hard to sing along because I'm used to being drowned out at shows. Plus it was almost distracting in a way to sing along, so for quite a bit of the night I just listened and took everything in. After "WTTJ" the mix got evened out a bit and you could hear Axl much better. It stayed that way for the rest of the night.

"It's So Easy" and "Mr. Brownstone" were both great. Everyone went nuts for "Live & Let Die" which is kind of odd. I like the song, but it's not really my favorite. Must have been lots of old Beatles/Wings fans there. "Knocking On Heaven's Door" was good, but sounded a little different. I think they changed it up a little. It was hard to recognize it when they started until the first verse came in. "Sweet Child O' Mine" was also really good and the crowed was really into it. I heard that Axl had been getting drowned out during "You Could Be Mine", but not last night, he tore through it and I could hear everything. The crowd reacted pretty well for "Better" given that it's a song most of them have never heard. They weren't into "The Blues" as much, but part of that was also because of some momentum being lost with the solos. Each time a solo came along people were into it and cheering, but lots of them started sitting down. Which I can't fucking stand. Don't come to a Guns N' Roses show and sit. That's insulting to the band. My wife tapped my on my shoulder and said the people behind me were complaining because I wasn't sitting down. I just said, "Too bad." and kept standing. Mind you the band kind of shot themselves in the foot by times with the lulls during the show. That would be one of my few complaints. The set list combined with all the solos was total peeks and valleys. They would start to gain some momentum, then throw in something slow or a long solo. I didn't really mind, but it was really annoying how people around me would react by sitting. They still were enjoying everything, just enjoying it like a bunch of old lame people.

Towards the end of the show the Ricky, Julian and Bubbles from the Trailer Park Boys came out and got a great response from the crowd. The band (including Axl) then played "Liquor & Whores" with Bubbles singing and playing guitar. Axl looked like he was having a great time and was laughing lots. It was really cool seeing guys from a show/movie that is done locally get that kind of recognition from GN'R and for the band to see how much people here love the TPB.

During Ron's solo he played "Oh Canada" and got a huge reaction/sing along from the crowd. He then played "Don't Cry". It was good, but I would rather have heard the band play it with Axl singing.

They then played "Rocket Queen" and "My Michelle", which were both awesome. "Patience" was next, then they ended with "Nightrain". After a few min they came back and did "Madagascar" which was really well done. The closed the show with "Paradise City". That was at 2:15am.

Some random things...

I was a little disappointed about some of the songs they didn't play. "Down on the Farm" especially. But also "TWAT", "IRS", "Used to Love Her" and "Chinese Democracy". I know they wouldn't have played all those due to time, but I think one or two that normally would have been included got left out for some reason. "Down on the Farm" likely got taken out to make room for "Liquor & Whores".

The crowd was good overall, but I would have liked to have seen people getting into it more.

Although it could have been louder, the sound was really good.

Axl sounded great.

Axl left the stage lots of times, but he always came back, which is all that matters.

Don't ask me to sit down if you're behind me at a show unless you want to be told to fuck off. ;)

Oh, and I saw Del James walking around with Frank between some of the opening acts. They were on the floor looking up into the crowd in the lower bowl. Del had a little walkie talkie. I don't know what they were doing. Crowd control?

Del is shorter than you would expect. But everyone is shorter in real life. And has short hair now.

Yeah, was going to take a pic of it but forgot the camera.

Yeah, I have long dark hair, I had it tied back.  I talked to them right where you go on to the floor from the aisle. 

Sucks that its over now. Think this will be the only time i see GNR in Halifax...:( I hope they come back...

I think they will come back after the response they got from the crowd...plus, Axl likes the Trailer Park Boys so maybe that could help

I'm just startng to get over the empty feeling I've had since the show ended!  :'(

Did anyone else see Merck and Beta during the show?  Merck was there by the stage all night and I only saw Beta come out when th Trailer Park Boys were on stage.  And I could see Del standing on the other side of the stage.

You think that was a good crowd response?
Let me guess, you haven't been to many concerts.
People sitting on their asses most of the night and hardly singing along.. that's not very good crowd response.
Hell, more people sang along at the Goo Goo Dolls on Tuesday night.
I hope you prove me wrong and they come back. Lots of people don't make for a good response (other than ticket sales).
And it was a true testament when the Trailer Park Boys got more of an applause than the band.

I think a lot of the reason the crowd was so laid back is due to the fact that there was no alcohol for sale. The six of us that went started drinking at lunch time and halfway through the GNR set, the hangover started to kick in. I would imagine that 9000 people with access to alcohol would be a lot louder than 9000 people without it.

Also, shows don't tend to start at 12 midnight and end at 2 in the morning and people were probably starting to crash.  I think it is a good sign that people stuck around as late as they did...I would have stuck around til 4 in the morning if I had to.

i agree the people behind me were getting tired.

I agree with all the above. But my point still holds tight. They weren't into it.. whatever the case may be.

I was on the opposite side of the stage and I saw Beta during the TPB as well. I guess Merck sticks to the left side of the stage (facing the crowd)

Yes agreed, I do know that GNR has better responses but from some of the concerts I've seen in the area they've done well...but also agreeing with the posts above that 1) there was no alcohol and 2) it was late for a lot of people on a monday night. I also hope that im not wrong with thinking they will come back.

I hope you're right as well.
But I'm not holding my breath.

Bubbles and Axl are tight now, maybe he'll make sure he comes back!  :rofl:

Is there anymore youtubes for the GNR show...

Not yet, I don't think... full audio and video recordings do exist, but haven't made it into circulation yet. Patience...  ;)

how do you know this>?

Oh, I have my ways... :hihi:

I will hold you to your words.

Go right ahead... I don't know much about the guy who did the video recording - wasn't aware that there was anyone doing video in hfx these days. But I've heard the audio taper's work before - he did Damageplan / Slayer, Alice Cooper, and a bunch of other shows to come through here. Generally his work his pretty listenable - the Cooper one sounded great, especially when you consider the weather at the time. It usually takes about two months or so for the shows to make it into circulation though, so as I said before, be patient. We've waited for over a decade for this album to come out, a few months for a bootleg shouldn't be anything in comparison!

I can't wait for that to come out, should be good    : ok:

I'll be deregistering my account today - call it irreconcilable differences with the webmaster RE: censorship, freedom of speech etc. The taper(s) have not as of yet released any video or audio of the Halifax show, but if / when they do, you can bet I'll get my hands on it. If anyone wants to eventually get a copy, assuming I can secure one, let me know at aekold77@hotmail.com .

Cheers, all. 

any updates or news regarding if this show was recorded, i would love to re live that night.

thanks

Hey Jarmo,   Did you attend this show or any of the shows in Canada,  im must curious cuz i saw a picture of you on myspace and it said Quebec 2006, i was justing curious if you were in Halifax as well.

I didn't attend the one in Halifax.

"Only" the ones in Toronto, Ottawa and Quebec.





/jarmo

Does anyone here have any pictures from the Halifax Show.  I have a few cell phone clips, i was very very close to the stage but they took my camera on the way in.  Security was so tight.   Hope someone has some.

there are a few pics on Chris Smith's myspace i think, they are wicked but he refuses to share them b/c of an agreement he had w/ management. I just received the concert on double cd. Was never more happy in my life, it might have even be equal to what it will be like getting CD lol

Im wondering if anyone else had a copy lf this show on CD or dvd,   or this is a rumor lol....
