Tommy Stinson in Europe (edited)

[Real]

Tommy played 1 song on his own and 5 or 6 with ACS.

 He also said he loved Ireland and had some of his best times here with The Replacements some years back!!!

And Im pretty sure Im the only guy to be kissed by a GNR member!!!

That may b, but I think I remember reading on this board at some point that Steven Adler did far more intimate things to guys for heroin back in the day.? ?

Cool of you to post about your experience.? I'm going to see that Les Claypool band on Sunday.? Hopefully I'll get to see Brain and ask him what he knows.

hey guys n gals, ive just registered as i finally have something to say, but i have been reading posts on here for about 2 years now, im 20 from england

anyway me n my girl went to see TS last nite in Leeds n got to meet him n have a quick chat, it was just after his set n he was stood next to a guy who was selling his merchandise and Jesse Malin merchandise aswell, i shook his hand n said something lame like 'great show tommy' n he just smiled n said thanx, as i was wearing my TS worn to a nub tshirt, i asked him to sign it, so he did. He asked if i got the shirt online which i said yeh, n i said i always check out his website as he is far the most vocal member of the band. He then said i should buy my g/f of his tshirts aswell as 'she would look cute in one' to which my g/f replied, 'well ok, but only if u sign it for me' in her cute dizzy kind of way, anyway he signed her shirt 'jess! you will look so good in this!'

by this time i had decided to ask the question i was dyin to ask which was, 'how likely is it that GnR will be coming over to england in the near future?' his reply was 'very very likely'? i then said how gutted i was that i missed out on the GnR Leeds 2002 show as i was away at the time, he said 'dude u totally missed out, that show was awesome' very true, it was as i have it on dvd n cd.

anyway that was how we left it, we decided we had taken 2 much of his time n decided to get into a decent position for Jesse Malins show which was pretty good, i hadnt heard of any of his stuff b4 but him n his band were impressive

all in all a successful evening, tommy is such a great guy, really down to earth n friendly n approachable.? all the above is 100% true, i swear on my dads ashes, i have a smelly signed shirt to prove it that i dont have the guts to wash incase the signiture comes off!?

[CAZ]

He's a human being and that is only a t-shirt, not GOD so why are you concerned about washing it? What value is another human beings signature aside from signing contracts?

Maybe it's not worth anything to you, but to others it might remind them of a great night.

Hi

I am thinking about going to the Fez Club on Friday night to see Tommy. I don't have his album and I've never heard of Jesse Maulin, so can anyone give me an idea of what to expect for a night out?

Thanks

Andrew

[Real]

Andrew you should go to see the show just to see Tommy alone. Its a short set but more than likely he will be hanging in the crowd so bring something for him to autograph. And a camera too.

As for Jessy Malin, its just fairly decent feel good rock tunes. In Dublin he went on some rant about the US elections and saving the planet etc etc and got the crowd to sit on the floor in protest. All that tree hugging crap is a bit much for me but I enjoyed the show anyhow. Everyone to their own I guess!!!

[Casbah]

Jesse did the sitting on the floor stuff in Belfast too.. and apologised for Bush   I kinda liked him.. my brother thought he was bland.. I suppose it just depends on your taste

It was ?14 to go here but I think worth it because Tommy was so good, even though he was only on for a short time.. but also because he seems such a pleasant person and mingled with everyone during the night!

Saw Tommy in London last night.

Got there as ACS were finishing their set.  Saw Tommy walking around and we went and said hi, I told him I loved the record and that I saw him with GN'R in '02 and it was great.  He said thanks and that it was an amazing show.  Got a picture taken with him and wished him a good show.

The show was really good.
He came out and did two songs acoustically and then did electric stuff with ACS
Setlist:
7 Days A Week (?)*
Someday
Without A View
Not A Moment Too Soon
Bite Your Tongue
Couldn't Wait
*
Motivation

* Not on Village Gorilla Head.

He was really, really good, he sounded exactly like he does on the record, if not better.

Saw him later on and he came over, gave me a weird handshake/hug hybrid and thanked me for buying his shirt.  I invited him for a drink and he said something about already having around 20.

We sat down at the bar and listened to Jesse (oh jesus christ shut up) Malin.  I have to say, I really didn't enjoy his part of the show, he had a half hour encore as well as butchering 'Hungry Heart' by Bruce Springsteen.  Tommy walked up to the bar and saw me hating it... he promptly took the piss about me looking miserable.

After the show tommy was helping selling his tee shirts, I walked over and said 'Come back and do a solo tour' his reply? 'I'm coming back in february'

As a solo artist or as a part of GN'R? 

[AdZ]

Who knows?

[Mikkamakka]

Who knows?

Maybe Tommy? Or Axl? Or Yoda? 

[ppbebe]

  Assuming that same Tommy?s done his recent interviews, I think he can?t go along alone next year.
So, maybe February in London is almost fixed Corblimy!? or 30sh beers inebriated him too high?

Got a picture taken with him.

And of course you?re sharing that?

[AdZ]

That was when the evening started. Before he'd really been drinking.

[ppbebe]

AdZ, you look very different there, I mean you?re not a blue guy with straight hair.
U-turn to the topic,
Tommy seems extremely friendly n merry. I feel envious and a bit sorry for AdZ at the same time.

BTW I like Tommy?s recent looks.

I can understand you feeling envious of AdZ because that is really such a fuckin' cool thing to happen to him!!!?

But what's up with the "and a bit sorry for AdZ" part?? Sorry for what??

No shit. I was just envious of Tom?No, I take that back.? 
Me, pull the other one!

I was only pulling a gag referring to the "weird hug".

BTW, I like your recent avatar, much easier on the eye than previous one. Thanx god!?
