Someone at City Winery PR better check their facts on whom Tommy is playing with (hey, I'm a HUGE Replacements fan, but time to update things. Last Mats gig is in 199frickin1). and DAMMIT-why does Tommy have to play with Jesse Malin??!? The one person I hate more than anything. Don't you just hate when one of your favorite artists/bands plays with someone you can't stand? Okay, the ticket prices ain't too bad. And I can leave early too.

im absolutely amazed, obsessed, with Tommy's ''You Cant Always Get What You Want'' cover. Truly brilliant. Tommy's a great artist. Title: Re: Tommy playing solo shows in February Post by: Christos AG on January 08, 2011, 04:35:06 PM Maybe it's time for another European tour? :smoking:

I've always wanted to see a solo Tommy show, he definitely has amazing songs to showcase. Title: Re: Tommy playing solo shows in February Post by: suicide on January 10, 2011, 04:59:08 PM Any news about his new solo album?
Title: Re: Tommy playing solo shows in February Post by: One.In.A.Million on January 10, 2011, 06:25:14 PM Any news about his new solo album? Well you would think now would be the time with these solo shows and all. Also bear in mind that Tommy has already filmed the video for the song "They Don't Deserve You". So you would think it has to be soon, unless something has delayed the project. Title: Re: Tommy playing solo shows in February Post by: AxlReznor on January 11, 2011, 12:24:35 PM When I asked about his solo album on Twitter awhile ago he said he was waiting until GN'R had a long enough gap in touring. So maybe this is the time, but if GN'R announce another tour it probably won't be until after that.

I like his dedication :) Title: Re: Tommy playing solo shows in February Post by: snead hearn on January 11, 2011, 02:39:10 PM Got my tix. Bar stool seat at the 'First Bar', stage left. Never been to this venue, never seen Tommy live (well, solo at least). Can't wait!
Going by the seating chart, looks like most of the good tables/VIP tables are already taken. Title: Re: Tommy playing solo shows in February Post by: Voodoochild on January 11, 2011, 02:49:35 PM Will that be an accoustic gig or maybe with a full band?
Anyways, I'd really love to see him live. I love VGH and would love to listen to some new tunes aswell. :) Title: Re: Tommy playing solo shows in February Post by: One.In.A.Million on January 15, 2011, 02:40:16 PM The last GN'R show I attended which was Manchester I was filming and taking pictures of Tommy all night. I always take a few photos and videos at shows, but at Manchester I was just drawn to Tommy, I just thought he is a legend.
I love the way he moves and how recently at shows he comes to the front with Axl more than he did in 2006/7. I would love nothing more than to see a Tommy solo show, I know he has come to Europe solo before, so here's to hoping. : ok: Title: Re: Tommy playing solo shows in February Post by: cotis on January 15, 2011, 02:42:59 PM This is a show with Jesse Malin and his band - so I was under the impression he was playing before them...

Posted 1/26/2011 7:23:00 PM When Tommy Stinson comes to town, he doesn't have to go too far because he's already in town! A Philly area resident for the past couple of years, the Guns N Roses bassist has been busy with a tour that has taken him everywhere from Australia to Abu Dhabi. With a few idle months and a lot of new music on his hard drive, he's chomping at the bit to get out with a little combo for a few dates to road test soon to be released material. That's what brings him to the North Star, 27th and Poplar, on Friday February 18. This mini-tour, that extends to NYC, Boston and Arlington, Va. will be a showcase for his new music which he's been working on for several years now. Recorded in a Delaware County basement as well as an LA studio, there's a range of styles and influences that include a Stones-y raveup, punked up blues and even a cowboy yodeling around the campfire. The setlist will also draw from his post-Replacements projects such as Bash N Pop and Perfect and his first solo outing, Village Gorilla Head. Plus, he's been known to jump on a classic cover or two in performance as well. The combo is a family affair with fiancee Emily Roberts singing on the songs that she also performs on the record. For the North Star show, Chip Roberts will accompany on guitar, as he did on much of the forthcoming record. Longtime Philadelphia local music fans will remember Chip's "chicken pickin'" playing with bands like The One-400's and The Drinkers. (disclosure: I'm married to Chip Roberts and Emily is my niece so that makes Tommy my "almost" nephew. I'm a tad biased but the new music is REALLY good!) It'll be a one hour show with an opening act still to be determined. For more information, visit the North Star Bar website. Tommy Stinson North Star Bar 27th and Poplar Philadelphia Tickets $8/advance $10 at the door Opening Act TBA http://www.wmgk.com/shows/debbi-calton/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10197404 (http://www.wmgk.com/shows/debbi-calton/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10197404) /jarmo Title: Re: Tommy playing solo shows in February Post by: Voodoochild on January 27, 2011, 02:12:45 PM I didn't know his fiancee is a singer. Should be a great gig, I wish I could catch it. :)
Title: Re: Tommy playing solo shows in February Post by: snead hearn on January 27, 2011, 04:48:03 PM For the City Winery NYC show, a 2nd show has been added. Same night, later time, 11pm
http://www.citywinery.com/events/141594 "By Popular Demand". I'll say it's for Tommy, that a 2nd show has been added! Title: Re: Tommy playing solo shows in February Post by: One.In.A.Million on January 27, 2011, 06:57:57 PM Seeing Tommy live 2 times in one day, that's sounds just my idea of a perfect day. :)
Wish I could attend. :'( Title: Re: Tommy playing solo shows in February Post by: russtcb on January 28, 2011, 01:57:42 PM I'd love for Tommy to swing by Detroit at some point.
Title: Re: Tommy playing solo shows in February Post by: Prucc on January 30, 2011, 01:26:30 AM I'm heading to my first Tommy Stinson concert next month. I'm pretty excited. What should I expect from his setlist?
Title: Re: Tommy playing solo shows in February Post by: Waldorf on January 30, 2011, 07:28:43 AM Quote My Peoples, http://tommystinson.com/It?s been too long since I updated this site. As of late I have been totally consumed with moving from Pennsylvania to New York state and rehearsing for upcoming shows in Arlington, Philly, New York, and Boston. I didn?t even know why I said yes to the first show in NYC until I started putting a set together ? then it felt like something I needed to do. I decided it had been way too long since I got out and played some of my own songs, even stripped-down, as these shows will be. These four shows will be just me, an acoustic guitar, a fianc?e (Emily Roberts), with special guests/friends to play different shows. I will have a Figg (Mike Gent) in 3 of four cities, an uncle in-law (Chip Roberts), and a George Manney in Philly, and a Frank Ferrer in NYC. Should be a fun trip. Well, at least for me (hopefully). I have been touring with GnR and Soul Asylum for so much of the last 4 years, that I nearly forgot I had amassed enough new material for a new record. So here goes ? my first little romp through the tulips before putting out a new record. Gonna see how they stand up, or fall to pieces. Here are the dates and the cities and venues. Hope to see you there! -t Title: Re: Tommy playing solo shows in February Post by: inlikeflynn420 on January 31, 2011, 10:19:25 PM Just got my tickets for the Philly show! Should be a good time. I haven't been to the North Star in over 15 years but from what i remember it was a pretty cool place. Looks like they have some good shows there, and they're all around 8-10 bucks.

My fiancee Emily and I were joined by Mike Gent from The Figgs last night in Arlington, VA and it was a great time, if but a little sloppy. Tonight we're at the North Star Bar in Philly, then off for two shows with Jesse Malin at City Winery in NYC on Saturday, and the Church Of Boston on Sunday. All the info is on the main page of tommystinson.com if you need more info. Hope to see you there! If you can't make it, rest assured that my new album is coming along nicely and will definitely come out this year, and I'll do my best to play shows all over the place as soon as that happens. Thanks and love! T Title: Re: Tommy playing solo shows in February Post by: FunkyMonkey on February 19, 2011, 11:47:47 AM 8)

Title: Re: Tommy playing solo shows in February Post by: snead hearn on February 20, 2011, 03:24:09 PM I went last night to City Winery, the early show. Took some vids-enjoy!Never been to City Winery. Very nice and pleasant. They have an AMAZING array of wines.
I just went to see Tommy and left after his set. SO HAPPY I WENT!! The man is just a genius. Just exudes coolness beyond belief. And what a bonus-Mike from the Figgs (who are BEYOND cool and amazing live), Tommy's fiance (very nice on the eyes beyond a stellar sweet voice) and Frank Ferrer on percussion. He played some new songs from the forthcoming album, which he said should HOPEFULLY (don't quote me) drop around May/June. I don't know a setlist, much appreciated for any information. Sorry the last two are blurry (a mix of being seated far at the bar and about 2 big goblets of a brilliant Italian Montepulciano red). I still can't figure how to compress the files in camera to shoot more of the song. Then again trying to hold the zoom camera and a drink for the entire time..... ;D If everyone out there in HTGTHLand can (if not already): Get EVERYTHING Tommy has ever done (Replacements, Bash N' Pop, Perfect, solo), Get everything or check out The Figgs (brilliant Power Pop for the past 20+ years). And while you're at it, check out Frank's old band, The Beautiful (the 'Storybook' album). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bG3vwHYAgz0 (seems to be a new song "Match Made In Hell") http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0y9Azfk2LCA (ditto) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqn6ItgawXQ (snuck to the middle for a better stage shot-Frank in the back) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G62VEOhLPJM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7optqr42LA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecX9MLEAk7k http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IqhbpUyY2c Hearn Title: Re: Tommy playing solo shows in February Post by: angeles on February 20, 2011, 07:21:52 PM ;D you are so lucky Hearn!!
Jesse Malin w/Tommy Stinson & Billie Joe Armstrong cover Johnny Thunders encore at City Winery, 2/19/11 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7eWEafLU7A Title: Re: Tommy playing solo shows in February Post by: One.In.A.Million on February 20, 2011, 08:00:01 PM Oh my fucking God, these videos are immense, I love Tommy's solo work. ;D
I used to watch his performance of Light And Day and Hey You (as well as the others) all the time on youtube from the Chicago show he did in 04. Now I have updated versions to drool over :drool:, thank you so much Tommy, your a legend. : ok: Title: Re: Tommy playing solo shows in February Post by: inlikeflynn420 on February 21, 2011, 02:39:47 AM Had a great time at the show in Philly. Got right up front. There was a chick with HUGE boobs hanging out next to me -- cigarettes were tucked in one and she was using her cleavage as a cell phone holder -- so, of course i struck up a conversation with her and her friend. Asked what brought them to the show -- turns out they work with Tommy's future mother-in-law and they came with her. She was with them so i started chatting with her. Very cool lady. Told her the dude i was with and I drove up to Toronto to see GnR last year and she told us she was there, too -- but didn't make it to the show because she was babysitting for Tommy and her daughter. She said she's been all over with the band so of course I asked if she ever met Axl. She said she met everyone else -- including Beta and her family -- but not Axl. But she said he seems like a very interesting character. Anyway, the show was great, the guy playing guitar with him is incredible, and Tommy's future wife is very sexy and her voice complements Tommy's nicely on the songs they did together and you could tell they really enjoyed being onstage together (Tommy started alone, she joined him, followed by the guitarist and drummer, then Tommy and his girl, then just Tommy alone again. Very cool transitions throughout the show). Tommy did mention that he's had a great time touring with GnR but sometimes it's nice to get onstage and play some songs without a Marshall amp set at 11 blaring in your ear. Seems like a really cool guy, it was cool as hell to see him in such an intimate venue (the North Star was way smaller than I remembered). I talked to his future mother-in-law after the show and it was obvious she is very proud of her daughter and Tommy. Anyway, it was a great show and I just thought it was a cool added bonus to meet his fiancee's Mom. If you get a chance, go check him out. (missed the first band but the second guy did a cool chupacabra song and an awesome solo acoustic version of "Beth" by Kiss).

Hello my Peoples, So I just had a great weekend run (5 shows in 4 days) and I want to thank everybody for coming out. We had a great time playing for y'all. As always, it was great to see and play with Jesse Malin and Billie Joe Armstrong. I swear I wont forget the 3rd verse next time around. I'm looking forward to going out with a full band soon. I've got some good things in the works for that, so you'll want to stay tuned for updates. Today I'm putting the credits together for my record, and we're hard at work in the lab to release it soon. I'm pretty stoked about how it's all coming along so far. Thats all for now...have a great weekend!
