Here Today... Gone To Hell!

How old do you have to be to attend a G'N'R concert?

Old enough to take a piss.

there is no age limit, at least at big venues...at the new jersey show, this woman had her kids with her in the front row,,, they kid must have been 9 or younger.....bumblefoot kept giving her guitar pics

He's probably afraid because of the Suicide Girls.  No age limit man, they were pasties n' shit.

How much can u actually see of TSG?


 :peace:

visit the website : ok:

Well I'm 13 and If I were to attend a GNR show I would probably have my mom take me since she loves GNR and wants to hear their music. Are the suicide girls nude dancers or something?

I am not sure your Mom would appreciate the Suicide Girls. :hihi:

But I am sure it isn't any worse than what you can watch on cable tv. 

Damn will that sucks for me. It would be really uncomfortable to see women in skimpy clothes with my mom sitting next to me. I guess when GNR has their next tour in 2020 I can go with on my own with friends.

I swear to god, kids of GNR fans must be the luckiest kids alive! ? :hihi: ?
As a kid, my mom never would have let me go to a GNR show...now, I've showed her the Rock-am-Ring show, and she'd love to go herself! ?Buuuut, then I told her what time GNR goes on...she's 63 and it's way past her bed-time. ? :hihi:

Seriously, it's all about the maturity level of the kid and what they can handle. ?
I would recommend staying off the floor though. ? :peace:

Emanc93, just make a deal with your mom, go wait in line for a Pepsi during the Suicide Girls performance, look at merchandise, etc.  I heard they are only on for 30 minutes or so before Sebastian Bach.  No problem there!   :peace:

That must be a long line for pepsi  :rofl:

But I would definetly need to do something to keep me busy whenever they get done with their "Preformance". I thought GNR had a new band opening up for them anyway

My Mom drove me and 2 of my friends to my 1st GNR show in 1988. ?I was 2 months shy of my 14th birthday. ?I wound up getting in HUGE trouble after because it was the GNR/Deep Purple/Aerosmith show at Giants Stadium and it ran really late due to some technical difficulties. ?

Now that I think of it, I guess it was a little strange to let me and two other 13 yr olds loose in Giants Stadium at a GNR show! ?I guess my Mom was a little "progressive" :hihi:

I remember seeing Gn'R when I was 9, although I didn't go with my parents, I went with my older sister, I wasn't embarrased or anything, with all the titties on the big screens and virtually everyone smoking weed around me....who cares, just go and rock out, and if you want to watch the Suicide Girls, watch 'em, I'm sure your mom won't care, she'l probably laugh.

I don't want to watch the suicide girls with my mom. It would be really embarassing.  :rant:

Find a friend with "cool" parents, tell your mom you're going to spend the night, then have your friend's parents drop you off.

Well actually my mom is really cool about this sorta of stuff but I don't think she trusts me enough to drop me off all by myself. Also don't you have to have an adult accompany you and how big are audiences at a show?

Haha, I thought I had it bad because I didn't want my mom there during a tit cam or something. This is much worse. My advice is just don't go until like 9-10. You'll just be waiting for GN'R anyways so just wait until after TSG are done and then go.

edit: ^No, you don't need an adult with you...or at least they didn't say anything to me. I'm 16.

How does she know she can't trust you if she doesn't give you a chance? (I used to use that one on my mom back in the day).

The crowds just depend on how big the venue is. So, depending on where you're going to see the concert, I'd guess somewhere between 7,000-14,000.

As far as needing an adult to accompany you... I'd call and check with the venue. But I seriously doubt they'd ask you where your parents are during the concert. As mad as the rush is to get inside, they just try to get everyone in as quick as possible.

Ok now can someone tell me how much tickets are? I don't want to be where  people are fighting each other  :rofl:

Talk to your mom!!!  It would be a shame if you and your mom missed out on seeing GNR because of this.

Tell her who/what this act is about.  I'm sure she doesn't want to sit through that crap.  Say how youze can get something to eat or go buy souvenirs while they're on.

Ok also what would be the closest show to see? I live in Quincy , Illinois and want to see a show somewhat close. Im thinking the Iowa show

You don't need an adult, and the Suicide Girls don't get naked, they tape over their nipples. And they're only onstage for about 30 minutes. They're actually kinda fun but if you want, just go late and miss them - it's not like GNR goes on before 11:30. If the doors open at 7 and show starts at 8, if you show up around 11 you'll be fine (unless you want to see the other opening bands). Keep in mind the show won't end till 2am so make sure your mom knows that.

Tix - for the pit about 75$ + tax and service charges, cheap seats maybe around 35$? And audiences will vary city to city, shows like New York, Toronto, Chicago, Calgary are 18,000 - 20,000, other shows could be 5000-9000.

If you had of left an hour ago you still probably could have made tonight's show  :peace:

What is the pit? I'm assuming its the area where all the rage happens and the cheap seats are where exactly and do you get to sit or what?

Anyone?

It doesn't get too crazy in the pit at GN'R shows.

Cheap seats? HA!

You can pay the same amount for a good SEAT.  But it doesn't matter as long as you get to go.

The pit is the floor. In my opinion, it's the best spot to be in if you can get up close.

The seats are... everywhere else. ?

Pit would be the standing area (short for mosh pit) but no one really moshs much at a GNR show. Yes you can sit in the cheap seats. Or in any seat. Although I hate sitting at shows, and hate seats period. It's far more fun to be in the crowd. but your mom probably won't think so.

When you buy tickets just check a map of the venue.

Pasties are stickers that cover the nipple, but the rest of the breast can show. My guess is that laws are different in different States.

The shows are all ages.

Oh my god I would have done anything to go to a GNR show when I was a kid. I begged to go to a show on the UYI tour in '91. I was 11 at the time and there was no way in hell my parents would have let me go then. I saw some kids at MSG and couldn't help but think how lucky those little bastards were. But I don't think that kids have any place in the pit. I went to one of the shows in vegas in 01 and Hammerstein last May and there is no way a kid should be mixing it up with all the crazys that hang out on the floor.

My husband and I took our then 14 and 15 year old girls to Portuagal from U.S. this year to see GNR at RIR.  They are totally fortunate, they know!  Mom and dad never had the opportunity for such an extravigance in our childhoods.  They are now 15 and 16 and love GNR and I believe them to be somewhat responsible for getting other friends aware of them, and there friends parents re-aquainted with them!!  They will also be attending the Everett show with us as well.

Be honest with Mom, and tell her they may open the show (Suicide Girls). Tell her at the time they come on the stage, you would prefer to look at merchandise or get something to eat and drink, while waiting for them to get off stage.

Luckily, they weren't opening when I took my kids to Worcester. However, that is how I would have handled it, had they been one of the opening acts, instead of missing out on a great concert. My kids and hubby loved seeing Papa Roach- I have to admit, I didn't know any of their songs and went for a snack and drink myself, while they were on stage.  :rofl:

I hope you can go- the show is awesome, and it's a memory you'll always treasure going with your Mom. I still can't believe my kids begged us to go with hubby and I, but they did, and they still haven't stopped talking about the concert.  :)

I wholeheartedly agree with you on this. We got great seats- we could see everything perfectly and we didn't have to worry about the craziness on the floor. Too many adults drinking, swearing, pushing and shoving- not a good environment for kids- althought, I must say, the crowd on the floor in Worcester were great. Only one guy that we know of got thrown out, and the rest of the night was uneventful in terms of trouble.

That's so cool. When I was at some of the U.K. shows I talked allot with fans. (It's easy when you have an American accent) Anyways, when I saw a father and son or mother and daughter wearing Guns shirts, it was just the coolest fucking thing ever. It gave me goose bumps n' shit.

Then I thought about how Axl would probably like to meet more of these people... but it's hard, you know? Most of the people backstage and at after parties don't usually match that description. Maybe Del should go and scout out some father/son and mother/daughter groups to meet Axl. That would be cool.

Gee, I wonder why bands don't want families backstage and at after parties....  ::)

Guns backstage VIP at the venue is classy. And the after parties are no worse than the average bar, but without fights and without people who are too drunk. (they would get thrown out if they go too far)

My dad took me to my first Guns gig at Wembley in '91 - I was 10!!

I agree it would be cool, the ultimate I must say, but just being there experiencing them play is so fullfilling in itself, it is kinda wierd though, in my earlier days seeing GNR, I certainly never thought I would be standing at a GNR concert with my two kids, let alone in Lisbon, Portugal, but you know they must be raised properly and I wouldn't be doing that if I didn't raise them with GNR and some of the other great rock n rollers of our day. Unfortunately for them most of the music of their generation, well, it's just not so good.  Where did all the talent go?

yeah not the greatest place getting a boner on

It's not age, it's maturity, and apparently, from reading the reviews, there are no minimum requirements. :rofl:

I think we have a new "The day the music died" for OUR generation. They day we lost Kurt, which was also around the same time we lost Guns for 12 years. And the last time Aerosmith released good original music. (Cryin')

Me an my mates were at the Dublin gig... wer all 16 and 17... they asked us all for I.D and only for 1 of my friends having a fake I.D then there was no way we wer gona get in... We were trying for about 10 minutes before he came and showed it.... and then he had to fill out forms for everyone one of us to say that we were there under his supervision and that kinda shit.... it was a bit of a fuck up

I think in America it has to say "18 and Older" or "All Ages" on the ticket. But with so many people now-a-days buying online and picking up tickets at Will Call, they don't always know for sure.

so you only came in, because one of your friends took the responsability for your mates(officialy and with a fake ID)?

i`m 17 as well....   and i had no problems at the gigs i went to :peace:

I'm a mixed bag on the kids thing because at the Chicago show, this couple brought their 5 year old and the guy had to carry the kid out because she fell asleep before the show ended. Plus, there was so much dope smoking going on it smelled like a ganja bar. And another couple brought like a three year old on the floor and the kid was covering his ears the whole time - I have a three year old and she can't stand loud motorcycles.

Plus, my friend brought her son who is 11 and I think that is a good age but he was totally embarassed by Suicide Girls especially being there with his mom. She said he put his hat over his eyes. Don't know if it was because he was with his mom or not understanding the situation. My friend thinks it was because he didn't understand the situation but they vowed that they weren't going to tell Dad and it would be their little secret cause Dad would have killed her.

I have a 6 and 3 year old and personally I am going to wait until they are at least 12 to start taking them to shows unless they beg me before. There is still so much they don't understand in early teens.

Now, my parents never let me go to a show until I was 17. Too old fashioned, everyone is into sex and drugs. I don't know if it effected me. Although, after 17 I started and never stopped. And I'm talking like one concert a week. Now, my husband yells at me and tells me I spend too much on going to concerts and I have to settle down. Back to where I started.
