Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Off to Notts tonight its only just down the road from me. My8th Gnr gig and the 1st time ive seen Ashba version. I will report back tomoz . Hopefully see some of you there X
 

On my way!

I'm around all day, and no longer have to be at work at 10am tomorrow  ;D

Just about to head for Nottingham, will be there late afternoon...

Can't wait, going to be an awesome show just like Dublin. Following Guns N' Roses from country to country is so cool, and it just gives you a sense of what the band has to go through on a LARGE scale everytime a tour comes around.

 :beer: :beer: :beer:

See you guys tonight.  8)

If anyone see's me I'm wearing Axl's bunny T-shirt. Not my usual fashion, but you know!!

 :beer:I'll be in "the old angel" pub just round the corner from the arena from 4:30 black hat and leather jacket with hood pop and say hello

On the train, nearly there!  :peace: :peace:

I'll probably be headed down to Horn In Hand, or tap n tumbler at half time in the Championship playoff final. Then onto pit and pendulum or the old angel


(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b122/snakepit_uk/quickmapforgnr.jpg)

The walk from the old angel is no more then 3 minutes, and even from horn in hand which is furthest away it's not going to be more than 15 minutes.

In the old angel now !!

At the angel as well, pretty quiet here.

I'm at East Midlands Airport will be heading to the venue in a while. So is that the bar to head to then?, will try to be there later.

if anyone is doing the v.i.p could they please post some info,how many things can you get signed and can you take some personal pics etc
thanks,hope every one has a great night ;D

Some guy on MyGNRForum says that was the ''Massive Attack'' theme, from Dr. House.

SCOM

I believe the House theme is 'Teardrop'

GN'R have been using 'Splitting the Atom'

What another fantastic show, words can't explain my love for this band. So many highlights, Jungle, Estranged, and This I Love were insane!!!!!... Thank you again to GN'R!!!!!... :)

Just got back home....what a fucking amazing show, my ears, throat and body are all aching and will punish me at work tomorrow, but it was worth it without a question.
Huge setlist, almost every sone I could have wanted (Minus a few from Chinese Democracy - myself and a few others did shout out for TWAT at various points).

Band was tight, Axl was on great form (Minus the song Chinese Democracy, where his sound buggered up half-way through and he missed the second verse), and the crowd responded fantastically. Safe to say I was thrown around a lot, but it was great fun.

Roll on Birmingham next week!

great show, even though there seemed to be one complete moron trying to ruin it by launching himself into people, and when that didn't get a reaction throwing something at Axl. Which thankfully Axl didn't seem to notice, but shortly after that security came through dragging someone away.

I'll have a whole bunch of photos up soon. looking forward to London on the 31st now  ;D

I was quite close to that, I found it amusing that the most violence seemed to occur during the quiet piano parts in Estranged  :rofl:

Also not sure if it was mentioned in the thread earlier, but DJ went into the seating area during nightrain

Also got to see Ron do "So Glad To Be Here", and I thought it rocked, Ron nailed the solos note for note. Also loved seeing Tommy come to the left side of the stage a few times too. :) Richard once again just did it for me, he is an energetic powerhouse, love him to bits.

first few photos, i've not bothered resizing yet, i'll do it in the week when I'm off work.

I have some brilliant HD videos from tonight and also Dublin, will try to get them on YouTube a.s.a.p. Always wanted to capture GN'R in HD quality, and now I have the iPhone 4, I have the chance to have video that I recorded of GN'R with me forever. :) LOVE this band, next one for me is Newcastle. Also want to thank BurnDizzy for being a cool fellow GN'R fan tonight. I'll hopefully see you at Newcastle mate. :)

Thank you for Upgrades and photos! Was another great night of Guns!   :)

Thanks for the updates guys, looking forward to seeing some more of your photos and some videos.

It looks like a great show. Always enjoyed the 2006 Nottingham bootleg, that was a great show too.

Top night. Band tight and on fire. Ashba is fast becoming a star i think, his solo got as big a cheer as anything all night. Only slight commplaint would be that apart from Estranged and Cival war id seen virtually the same set last time. But still ace and i cant wait for these boys to release an album

great set list! not the same show that 4 months ago which i think is awesome!
massive attack is perfect opening music, alltought everybody knows featuring mcbob is awesome too! :smoking:

abd bumbles glad to be here is just a master peace

Setlist added to 1st post. Thanks for the updates AdZ!

Chip away the stone - one of my favorite intros to PC. Was lucky enough to hear it in Zagreb 2010.  :)

Epic night. Saw jarmo sporting some epic sized lenses as well haha.

Im all stiff and ive got it all again tonight.

Did you get Glad To Be Here?

Insane!!!  Thanks to One.In.A.Million  for a great night, See you in Newcastle!
Band were so tight, Axl seems to be having fun. Great set! Ron N' Richard absolute legends.

Few of my pics...more to come

Liverpool here I come.....

you cracked me up!!!

Nice pics guys, thanx!

Does anyone have some YT links?

By the way: Tommy sings a song, Bumble sings a song, what do you think, who comes next? Maybe Dizzy?

WEll,this is the reason why I like Uk and European shows...Soldout shows,fully arenas and great audience

Did his sound bugger up?

Have to say - I thought he made a mistake - started singing the second double chorus but the first time round, so the band started to play the verse and Axl was singing over the wrong bit... then he blamed the mic!!! Haha. He pulled it off well either way.

Have to say - this is now the 4th time I've seen the band and can't remember them ever looking more together, happy, enjoying it. They were tight - soooo tight. And was very impressed with Frank, first time I've really seen him. He isn't as technical as Brain but so tight, got a great Adler-esque groove and looks so relaxed. He's great for the band.

The energy was unreal.

Wish I could afford to go to more of the gigs!

This line up has to release an album soon  : ok:

http://youtu.be/MIoaNW57q_8 - Jungle

http://youtu.be/7ajyA4sQAh0 - Civil War

http://youtu.be/hkq6QmLZqmE - Street of Dreams

I saw them in 2002 at Docklands, and 2006 at Hammersmith. Last night blew the fcking socks off both of those. An amazing show.

Though I do NOT understand the 6ft 6" guy who ran to the front during SCOM, only to stand stock still in front of everyone who was rocking out, and got pissy when people touched him. What a dickbag.

Cool pics.  Are those empty seats in the Richard shot?  What gives - the place looks packed in the DJ shot.

Those blocks were not sale because it is a "side on" shot not facing the crowd.

A few of my pics..

gone have the days where all cameras and stuff got confiscated  :peace:
imagine security throwing out everyone with a camera phone, place would be empty  :rofl: :rofl:

REALLY cool to hear that Bumble singing one of his owns. Hope he do that for the rest of the tour  :beer:

at the same time it's sad seein' a lot of people recording the whole show just to post their videos  on internet just to say "I was there". Yeah dude you were there but you watched the show trough a fuckin camera... I mean...enjoy the show. People look like they can't have fun anymore without prove something to the fuckin world and without a fuckin camera in their hands.
I was thinkin' about  the same thing today when i saw the images of the bomb and the eartquake here in Italy ...people first start filming the tragedy instead of helping people or whatever... :no: :no:

It's not about 'providing it to the world' in most cases, especially with video a lot of people want it for themselves to help keep a memory alive, unless I know for sure I can take a high def camera into a show and not intrude on other people's experience then I personally don't bother with video, it's too much time, effort and risk, unless it has been well organised with multiple people willing to contribute HD footage for a free mixed cam release.

Then there are forums like this where members know there are plenty of other people who will appreciate photos being taken and shared. It doesn't take away from my experience at all, I took over 200 photos at this show, 117 of those came out well enough to share and it maybe took 5/6 minutes of the show to get that many photos taken, I can still hear and see everything that is going on.

I'm pretty sure nightrained will have another bunch of photos from the show he's attending tonight, and I look forward to him sharing those too.

--------------------

and on an unrelated not, Jarmo's photo of Frank is awesome. I love it when you get clear pictures of drummers at arena shows, sadly it doesn't happen enough.

It`s Amazing...

 :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Anyone got a video of better?

Does anyone have video footage of "glad to be here" its the one song i cant seem to find

it seems that nobody cared :-\

I really need better, Axl pointed at me with gave me the biggest smile, i need to relive the moment  :smoking:
