Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Can't wait till tonight......Taking my (2) boys 12 and 9? - their first concert.

My 7th GnR concert they have waited patiently....I always promised them I would take them to Guns for their first show....

 :beer:

Awesome stuff.  My first concert was GNR in 91... I was 5  :hihi:

I'll be at Armadillo's hope to see you there! : ok:

I'll be updating @ rosesofvelvet.com : ok:

i'll be at armadillo's too

Thats great! They will have a first show experience they wont ever forget!

Have a nice one :beer:

They have their shirts from Hammerstein all ready to go....I bought them shirts and they are so excited.

the nine year old woke up this morning and stumbled in my room and said "I can't believe the day is finally here!" 8)


I don't think he believed me when I said that Axl would be back- and a CD would eventually be released! ;D

Really looking forward to this - my 18th GN'R concert - saw a ton of UYI tours in Europe.

My buddy who I was going with had to go up north cos of a family problem - so, if anyone needs a cheap GA floor ticket - let me know

WoWWW.. Finally got my account working.. woohooooo... anyways, here is the real question, where is tonights after party?!?!

WOW....your up for an all nighter I think.

By the time it's all over it will be 2:00am :nervous:

As a fellow Torontonian (unfourtunatley for today living in Brazil....it only sucks when Guns is playing T.O.) I tried to pull all my strings to get to Toronto for this fuckin night... but a whatever.

Hope..; Axl and the boys kick your ass bigtime. Toronto Shows are fuckin' awsome. Back in 91 ?Axl announced from the stage I think it was before Nov.Rain that the last train was leaving the CNE haha no one left.....fuckin' awsome.

By the way Baz is an ol' Toronto boy as well, he will be totally on fire tonight. (any of you remeber Larry's Hide Away..fuck that's going back, getting old)

No disrespect to our NY freinds but for me tonight is the show of the tour.

After the other post with the news from the Sun hopefully you guy's are in for a huge rant from uncle Axl tonight..what better place for it to happen !

Rock hard tonight gunners ! ?:peace:  Fuck I wish I was there...

Go Leafs Go !

very cool post!!!!!

Im 19, in university, and aint got nothing to do tomorrow.. an all nighter sounds pretty sweet to me :hihi: lol.. because i mean, of course this is GNR we are talking about.. how often do you get to see them? i got a hotel so i guess i might as well make it that good of a night :peace:


dude wish you were here to see it too, but ill cheer extra hard for ya buddy!!! they are gonna rock the place tonight!!!

tks dude ! : ok:

I shall be there, myself.  Taking one of my buddies, who loves old GN'R, and I've been introducing him to the new band. 

This is my first GN'R concert!  So excited!! :yes:

With all the promotion going on for the Canada shows you would think something out of the ordinary will go down tonight.  Here's to hoping :beer:

Rocket Queen would be pretty sweet tonight.. or maybe Dont Damn me.. lol theres tons of songs id like to hear hahah..

I agree man im praying they play Rocket Queen...My fav GNR song

Have fun everyone.  To those who are seeing Guns for the first time, you will have the best time of your life.  Just be safe people and enjoy it.

In addition to the Toronto Sun Rant let's hope he gives us a release date for Chinese Democracy!

P.S. The Leaves Suck!  :P

I will be in attendance for this one. Can't wait, as I'm sure it will be a kick-ass show. I would like to respectfully request "Rocket Queen" as well. I have seen GNR in Toronto twice before, and both were fantastic shows.

And to the Bruins fan: we thank you for the Raycroft trade!

And we thank you for the Raycroft trade as it gave us Tuka Rask - the best goalie not playing in the NHL  : ok:

You really shit the bed with the Gill acquisition though.  :hihi:

Have fun in T.O. everyone!  :peace:

Figures that on a Canadian GNR thread, talk would turn to hockey. Gill has actually been one of our steadiest defenders, so Bruins lose again! Rask is still far removed from the NHL, or even signing a contract with the Bruins.

Back on topic, it should be interesting to see what Baz has to say, being from Toronto. I am sure he will enjoy playing the ACC.

Feel free to give us an extra-long show, Axl!

FOR EVERYONE GOING TO THE TORONTO SHOW: PLEASE READ!!!

Hey,

So someone from the Dust N' Bones mailing list reminded everyone that the ACC has a very strict curfew of 11pm.  She called the venue and they said it's lights out after 11:00pm.  Though this isn't something new, as it had one in 2002, the venue is very adament about enforcing it.  When Velvet Revolver played here two years ago, they had to forgo the openning band as the equipment was held up coming over the border and there wasn't enough time to put on a full VR setlist if a band openned for them.  Not saying that Axl might ignore this, but remember GNR came on around 8:30 in Dublin 'cause of the very strict curfew imposed there.  I was planning on arriving around 10:45, but I'm taking my blackberry to check for updates here.

Whoever is doing updates here, can you please make sure you let it be known when the openning band is done.  It's very confusing as I'm not sure how many openning bands there's going to be (Suicide Girls, Bach, and that local band).  Anyway, just thought this was something to be aware of.

Cheers,

Andrew

I can't see the 11:00 curfew meaning shit.
Then again maybe TO will be cancellation #2..lol

If memory serves me correctly, they played from 11pm - 1am in 2002.

Edit: meant to say 1am, not 2am.

They did start at 11 in 2002 and played about 2 hours.. the subway was still running after they were done so it was before 1:30. I am hoping he doesn't come on much later than 11:15 as if you do take transit to the show you will be SOL trying to get home if they play a full set and i think the last Go train out of there is like Midnight so thats even worse for those folks.

Please, spell my name right.. it's Tuukka : ok: Glad you like Finnish goalies!

yes it was 10:50pm start time....I think I was the last one in my seat front row dead centre.....As I was in the cab right behind the limo carrying Axl to the ACC....

We were waiting for him at the hotel......he went out the back door and we ended up racing to our seats past everyone and ran straight to the front....no General Admission it was awesome.

Seconds later it started.

 : ok:

Are we getting any updates tonight?

I hope you'll catch them here in Brasil soon enough. And me too, of course! ;D

I'm hoping GNR make it to Brazil in Febuary (carnaval) Rio...oh sweet! :peace:

By the way here's to 100 th post Cheers :beer:

Do you think I should have ear plugs for the kids?


Help....I have to get to Home Depot......

Thoughts?


 :-\

I would for sure

The last time they played @ The Air Canada Centre (2002) they didn't hit the stage until about 10:35PM:

http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/board/index.php?topic=17.120

Not sure where you're getting this info from but I don't think that it's right!
 ???

Agreed

My ears permanantly ring from too many shows without plugs when I was younger and I wish I hadn't sacrificed a bit better sound for permanent hearing damage

You could by 2 sets for them just in case. I don't think they are very expensive. I would recomend it definatley....most of us older cats are already half deaf, ?it could be that your kids get there and can't even take how loud it is (being there first show and haven't blown out there ears like us) at least your covered instead of risking a night that they might not be able to fully enjoy.

Damnit...I haven't been to the Armadillo since Summerslam two years ago....

Ah well....I decided not to see em live this time around, and I stand by it..

It says here that GN'R doesn't hit the stage until After 10PM:

http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/board/index.php?topic=38191.0

I think that the earliest that they've gone on so far is 10:30PM?
 ???

Thanks  : ok:

Why in Gods name would you book a concert and close it off at 11 pm? I was at the Rascal Flatts concert two weeks ago and it went to 12, so this guys is totally wrong.. if a pop-country band can go till 11 30 or 12, then Guns N Fuckin roses can go till 1 AM..
Can I get an  Amen?

Was gonna get updates from jbenzz tonight but his phone is being weird. He tried sending me an email with a picture though and it worked so he's gonna try and send me pictures tonight, I think.

We're getting updates from the ROV people right?

Cheers :beer:

Does Home Depot sell arm protection to for when Hammer1 grabs my arm all night freaking out at the sight of Axl?

very funny......... :hihi:

LOL, you know it's true.  Just feed me lots of  :beer: to ease the pain

o,k I am leaving work to get ready for my Axl fix!



Cheers :beer: :nervous:

Hey, I'm not saying it's going to happen.  I'm just saying that's what's been reported.  I was at the 2002 show and am well aware of when GNR came on stage.  I'm just saying that at the Velvet Revolver show they were quite adament that the show had to end at 11:00.  I just wanted to make sure that no one missed anything on the off chance that GNR starts earlier than usual as they did a few times during the European tour.  I don't plan on leaving the Aramadillo till after 10:00.

Cheers,

Andrew

I've been to many concerts @ the ACC and they've all gone past 11PM. I'm aiming to be there for 10:30PM.
 : ok:

I work with one of the guys who ushers at the ACC an an evening job, he said that they were given a 10:30 on stage time for GNR but it could be later depending on their mood and all but the show is expected to run way past 11, GNR will pay a fine for playing later and breaking curfew but i suppose thats what the 85.00 platinum tickets and floors are to cover!

Guns N' Roses Will Play 2 Hours Tonight in Toronto, Despite Curfew Rules

Band To Absorb Any Fines

BW&BK is reporting tonight's GNR show in Toronto will go the distance, fines or no fines:

In spite of the standard 11 PM curfew at the Air Canada Centre, Guns N' Roses will take the stage tonight (November 15th) at 10:30 PM and perform a 2-hour set. Any fines inflicted on the band for breaking the venue's curfew will be absorbed by the band.

The schedule for tonight's show is as follows: 8 PM - DIE MANNEQUIN (Toronto), 9:10 PM - SEBASTIAN BACH, 10:30 PM - GUNS N' ROSES.

SUICIDE GIRLS, self-described as "The Most Dangerous Burlesque Tour In The World", will hit the stage during the set change from Die Mannequin to Sebastian Bach.

In related news, in regards to the release of the band's long-awaited Chinese Democracy album (rumored to be available next week), Universal Music Canada has stated, "We have no indication that a Guns N' Roses record will be released this year."

I think we can rule out next week, unless GN'R management REALLY has a hold on the ENTIRE music community.  November is out, December is in.

after reading the knac thing , I think we could rule this year out.Let's see if merc can pull a fast one on the whole record industry

That's so cool.  : ok:

It's cool when you see father and son or mother and daughter at a Gn'R show... both wearing T-shirts. :yes:

WELL I GUESS IT PUTS THEM RUMORS ON HOLD NOW TOO. :confused: :nervous:
