Winds were sustained at around 145 mph, and movement was to the north-northwest at 15 mph, putting it at a strength equivalent to that of a category-4 hurricane. The storm could strengthen to a super typhoon (winds above 150 mph) briefly Thursday afternoon, EDT, just before making landfall over Okinawa in the Ryukyu Islands by Thursday evening. Wave heights will be greater than 35 feet, while drenching rainfall and strong, dangerous winds batter the region. Interests in these areas should take precautions prior to the arrival of this dangerous storm, and it is recommended to follow any instructions and warnings set forth by local authoriti

Prediction:

A) Someone will find a way to blame Axl for the typhoon

B) Someone will say that Axl should've known the typhoon was coming and just went ahead and played Live Earth last week.

 :hihi:

Typhoons are scary! I hope it doesn't do too much damage and that everyone is safe! :nervous:

Comparably it looks to be a category four upon landfall.  Katrina was a cat 3.

Be safe Jarmo!

Don't panic guys...

I've been living in Japan for 7 years and I've experienced my fair share of typhoons during that time.

However, even during the worst ones I've always been required to go to work (I was nearly killed in one though when going back home on my bicycle drunk...   :no:)

Usually there are train delays and sometimes minor flooding but this is Japan, things keep running no matter what. Modern buildings are built to withstand typhoons and usually can withstand the big fucking earthquakes we get here...

I'll be taking the night bus up to Tokyo on Saturday night for Sunday's gig and according to that graph at that time I'll be right in the typhoon's path... : ok:

But, typhoons in this area of the world very rarely follow the predicted path... Chances are that it will head north and slam into Korea (like one did last year) or veer to the west and crash into China. We'll have more idea what it will do after it hits Okinawa.

isn't it the rainy season there? and after the typoon, it will be summer....
Guns bring you summer. ;D


let's find a way to blame jarmo this time.....say, jarmo is a typhoon man. :P

don't you miss the typhoon man?

Well, if he is "the typhoon man", he is certainly making his presence felt in Japan!

How exciting! I love a good storm. Will there be lightning? Hopefully it will 'electrify' the arena!

It would be funny though, if the power gets cut and Axl and the lads have to perform the whole gig acoustically!

Great, now Axl is making typhoons so he doesnt have to do the shows. Good one Axl, you suck!  :rant:

Silly mortals... that isn't a Typhoon nor Godzilla... It's Bumblefoot making his way to Japan!!!

I Love Godzilla!

GOJIRA!

love his voice. I mean godzillas.  :yes:


I can see...a typhoon warning being in force and...when the crowd almost expect no show for the day...they see Robin standing in downpour, soaking wet, ....and hear a loud clap of the thunder...overlapping with the guitar intro....and the massive scream in a flash of lightning, wooooooooooo !!!!!(≧▽≦)!!!!!w!

Wait. Are the shows not indoors?

no, no, he's not. he's a summer man. the typhoon man is jarmo.

hey hey jarmo, was it your fault huh? :-\

just kidding! :hihi:

Actually, Ron's lost a lot of weight since this pic was taken.   :hihi:

Hope everyone stays safe!

Katrina was not a 3. It was at least a 4 and perhaps a 5. But definitely not  a 3.

thanks. :)

When it made landfall it was a category three.  When in the gulf of mexico it was a category five.

Bad news  :(

I Pray For The People & GNR.

From the looks of things, the storm won't have reached the Tokyo/Chiba area until 9:00 AM on Sunday morning so it shouldn't impact the show

Do they do mandatory evacuations like they do in the States for hurricanes for typhoons in Japan?

you're correct....and whoever made the insensitive comment of "how exciting..."  didn't lose everything they owned in a flood.  Unfortunately, I lived in N.O. when Katrina hit.  After the storm passed, all I had was what I packed in my car.  3 friends of mine died.  I had to rebuild my life. 

SO...WHAT THE FUCK IS EXCITING ABOUT A KILLER STORM HEADING INLAND...JUST STOP AND THINK BEFORE YOU POST AN INSENSITIVE COMMENT LIKE THAT. 

Right.

If the typhoon really hits Tokyo on 15 July, it is not funny.

The problem is Makuhari is in Chiba and not in Tokyo.? Many Japanese fans gave up the show because of the venue's bad access.

Although our transportation system is usually very good, Keiyo line which you need to take to go there, is a notorious for being easily delayed and suspended by wind and rain.

You can take a taxi if you can catch one, but it will probably cost more than 10,000 yen.

The Typhoon is set to devastate the birth place of Karate.

Its not hitting china... were karate originated from Kung-Fu and Chinese Boxing... The term that was used before karate, was Chinese Hand. That word was slightly altered through time to Open/empty hand or kara-te.

:rofl: :rofl:
EXACTLY! exactly, dude. :rofl:

I am responsible for the term bumble-roo, the kung-fu grip thal toy picture... and now...  :rofl: The things I think of from the encouragement from CD.com  :rofl:

:rofl: I remember when you said "in the 2nd day, god created the bumble-roo" or something like this.
that toy is fucking amazing! hahahahahahahahaha.

"It's Bumblefoot making his way to Japan!!!"
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Big POST !!!!!!!!!!!

 :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

 :rofl:  :rofl:

haha good one

 :rofl:  :rofl:

Come On, dudes! would you rather a typhoon or Godzilla hit your shores! THINK OF ALL THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN CRUSHED BY THE GIANT LIZARD!  ::)

Apparently Axl got to Brisbane an hour or two before the show flying in from Melbourne just in time. Hopefully he doesn't wait so long in Japan.
Might be a bumpy ride by plane. If there is a show at all, at least you know he will be in the immediate area hours beforehand increasing the chances of keeping schedule so you Japanese folks don't get stranded at two thirty a.m in the middle of a fucking typhoon.
Best of luck to the band, the fans and the general public., will make for an interesting memory.

In the 70's in Adelaide a killer wave was scheduled to hit the shores, so aussies packed the beaches and brought surf boards!

Love the smell of napalm in the morning! Good luck!

he arrived in Japan 2 days ago or something, so no problems there  : ok:

I said the birth place of Karate. Not Kung Fu. Yes it has origins in White Crane Kung Fu but karate was born in Okinawa. Naha Te (Northern hand). Dont worry buddy..I have all the books.

Oh, ka-ra-te!

I dont recall saying it was exciting.  I was merely pointing out the inaccuracies of Krispy Kremes comments and denoting how seriouos a storm this could actually be!

AHAHHA , Thats why im proud to be Australian,
you gotta Love Australian Humour, its undoubtedly the best in the world,


OZY OZY OZY

OI
FKN
OI
FKN
OI! :beer:

Oh, oh! Now you've really done it! Any show person knows that you can't say good luck before a gig!!!! You have to say "break a leg"!!!!!!!

Quick! to unbreak the jinx, someone has to stand on their head and sing "singing in the rain" (backwards, beacause it's a metal gig)!!!

Katrina was terrible, we all know that, but we are entitled to an opinion. Their opinion was that storms are exciting (which I agree). Nothing insensitive about that.
