Got Tickets today for Melbourne and Sydney...anyone else going?

[metallex78]

Yep, got my ticket for their Sydney show.

On their last tour here in 2005 I was jumping around in the mosh, this time I've opted for seats instead.  Should be a pretty cool gig.

Who is Opening for them? If its Screaming Jets again I might go but......


 

[monkeychow]

^ Still no word on the opening act...

VR alone would be good enough for me though 

[Billo]

Umm the Screaming Jets were shit last time..the only good song was Better..They never played there singles only there new songs which i didnt like..

It's all down to personal taste, but I thought the The Screaming Jets were great. They are legends or Aussie rock, the same as Slash, Duff, Matt are legends of US rock.
Better is one of their most overplayed songs and definitely not their best, so if you thought that was their only good song, I guess they're not for you.

[Billo]

Thats cool..Im glad u liked there show..I actually like Most of there singles that they didnt play..Songs i love of theres are Stop the world,Helping hand,Sad song,friend of mine.. They only played the 1 popular single.. I was hopeing for more..
I Did Love velvet thought..Was an Awesome show..Im getting my Ticket for melb tomorrow..Fingers crossed..

[Dead N' Bloated]

The Jets were fuckin brilliant last time. The other band I'd like to see open for em would be Airbourne. These guys fuckin rule.

I'm there, Sydney this time round as the Melbourne date clashes with Elton John (yeah I know but the missus wants to go!) but that just means I get to see 2 shows!

[monkeychow]

^ is it me or is the 2nd Sydney Show still not on sale?

Elton John. Man, that must be costing you a fortune. The tix for the hunter valley shows were something like $400 and up.
I wanted to go but I spent $6000 on Guns N' Roses this year and I think Im gunna follow Metallica around when they come so I gotta start saving.

I wish i could go to the VR sydney gigs, i wish i could go to megadeth in november for that matter, But ive already got gold tickets for both iron maiden sydney concerts so ive killed the bank account. But maiden is the only one ive never seen live before.

There has not been much about the tour in the Australian press that I see.

This is an older article but has VR ever played Paradise City?  Do they plan to in Australia?

Yeah it is when you add up airfares and all the other shows I'm going to aswell.
I did 4 of the GN'R shows earlier in the year and so far have tickets, airfares and accomodation booked for:
Velvet Revolver - Sydney both nights
Elton John - Tassie
Bon Jovi - Melbourne
Iron Maiden - Melbourne
Ozzy Osbourne - Melbourne
Kiss - Melbourne

Well worth every cent I say, I told the missus I'm going to see the gunners next show at Madison Square Gardens and she said ok!!!! couldn't believe it so I can't wait till the US tour comes about!
