Best Buy hosted the
?Chinese Democracy? listening event in New York City?s East Village last night.
Guns N' Roses guitarist
Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal was one of the guests at a packed Webster Hall, and so was
GnrDaily's NYC correspondent
Sanna.
The anxiously waiting crowd (of whom some stood in line for a couple of hours in the chilly New York evening) got a bonus last night, as a cheerful
Bumblefoot welcomed his home audience to the listening event in a humorous manner:
?Let me just talk to you like a local guy to a bunch of downloading, song-stealing, demo-hating little fuckers. Thank you guys so much. It?s been a hell of a journey, and you?ve been there the whole way. I can?t thank you enough. Now I?ll just shut the hell up and we?ll play the shit?. Before the first tones of the title track hit the venue, Bumblefoot felt compelled to ask the crowd one last question:
?Do you know where the fuck you are?? Shortly after having kickstarted the event,
Bumblefoot (who himself is a
GnrDaily reader) had time for a quick chat, where he revealed that he has recorded a video message to all
GnrDaily visitors. The video-message will be shown in the
pre-listening party in Gothenburg, and posted online right here this week!
