VR in London January 21, 22 & 23

[Tj]

Could we actually try and think of a time now? I want something decent information to tell Shlump when I ring him. Would 4pm be ok for everyone?

[jarmo]

Sounds good to me.

Although the others might have some other ideas.....

I just rang Shlump, and he said he hasn't even mentioned this meeting to the two friends coming with him, but he doesn't think they'd want to do it, and to be honest he doesn't feel that keen either. Says he just wants to get there, go to the gig, and leave, which is fair enough, especially when you consider that he hasn't exactly communicated much with HTGTH for a long time. I'm disappointed, but...yeah. It'd be cool if you guys could meet up with us when we're actually at the gig though, just to say hi n' stuff.

[jarmo]

Might be tough to do that before the show at the venue. Because everybody's gonna have their spots in the queue.

And afterwards you'll be in a hurry to leave with Shlump.....

Ah well, nevermind. When we're in the queue, maybe we'll shout 'JAAAAAAAAAAAARMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO' (silent J, yes?) and if you hear us, shout 'TIIIIIIIIIIIIM! WE LOVE YOOOOOU!'

I am new to message board type thing, but I was wondering if anyone had any ideas where there is to go after the gig, I am staying in Covent Garden - someone mentioned Camden Sin City - any one been?

I went to the hammersmith show last time around and was blown away, seen GNR at Wembley and Milton Keynes Bowl - as well as Duff at the old Marquee and not to mention AXLs effort at docklands but for me VR was something different Very raw and much more attitude than previous gigs

[jarmo]

Saw some kids drinking Grolsch in Brixton before the show. Then afterwards, the same kids were ordering Happy Meals at the McDonald's.....

/jarmo

Saw an old guy trying to be cool and pretending to be young by hanging out with the kids.

[Jonx]

anyone else see the old bald guy in retro grey tracksuit and yellow t shirt. He went insane when ACDC was played over the PA while they were switching the stage between the Datsuns and VR. He then spent the remainder of the gig right in the front grabbing random women and holding on to them. Haha

Was that the same guy who almost wasn't served at the bar?

Just got back an hour ago, they ROCKED! Fantastic gig, great to hear "You got no right", also was Jarmo wearing a Tommy Stinson tee-shirt??

[Tj]

was Jarmo wearing a Tommy Stinson tee-shirt??

Oh yeah, and Jarmo, on the 21st were you wearing the coat you're wearing in the photo of you on the board gallery? With a dark bit at the top, and a light bit at the bottom. I saw a guy wearing a coat that looked like the one in the photo, and he looked about your height. Saw him when I was standing in the queue.

[jarmo]

was Jarmo wearing a Tommy Stinson tee-shirt??

Yeah, I was. 

Two people actually noticed that at the bar.....

Yeah, that was probably me. I was there with Graciela, AdZ and his friends.

[anythinggoes]

well i walked straight past you and thought what a cool T Shirt i nearly asked you where you got it duh

[jarmo]

Maybe I would've told you if you had asked.


Did anybody notice Duff looking pissed off at something and giving somebody the finger at the show on Sunday? Compared to the Friday show, he didn't seem as happy. Less smiling on Sunday.....



/jarmo

[Andrew]

Yes i noticed that, I could have sawn he was looking at me when he did it... oh well. I was stood near to Jarmo at the bar for a bit, had a feeling I recognised you!

[anythinggoes]

Well Slash looked wasted when he came on stage for the first few songs and i got to touch him as well as Scott but go major crushed for the privalige also got kicked in the head 4 times by the crowdsurfers still waiting for my mate to mail his pictures to me cause he got some brilliant Slash ones my mobile wasnt up to the job really whens the next England tour i think ill go seating

[Andrew]

I was really getting pushed around, 3 heads from front centre. Was fine for most of it, but after Its so Easy i moved back as I`d had enough along with the fact I had broken my nose a few days before didn't fancy risking it!

Seems like the crowds at the Hammersmith shows were a bit rougher than Brixton.....


On Saturday, a certain young moderator who's name starts with an A, almost got kicked out of Bar 38 because I bought him a Coke! 

One of the staff even had to taste it to make sure there was no alcohol in it......
