O.k. so this might be a really dumb idea(I don't know) but I've always thought it was cool when you see footage of a gig on tv and you see a sea of national flags in the crowd. Canadian, American, British, Irish, Swedes, Aussies etc... everyone. It's cool and I thought wouldn't it be cool for Axl and the band to see all those flags in the room as a sign of how far and wide we've all come from to show support. It might be cool but then again maybe it's dumb. Maybe I'm just dreaming of an outdoor stadium U2 show in Europe  |

I think it's a great idea, especially for those that head to the balcony.
Although due to the lighting I doubt Axl would see them anyway.

I think it would be pretty cool. New York is already one of those places where you can find one person from every country in the world, so it would be fitting.

I honestly thought people would think this idea sucked. Hmmm... I guess I'll bring a Canadian flag.  |

I totally respect your opinion on thinking it's a stupid idea. That's what I mostly expected but saying only American flags(if any) should be waved is dumb. That'd be like me saying only wave a Canada flag if the show was in Canada. The point would be to wave the flag of where you came from. Seeing mutliple nationalities come together is much cooler than saying ONLY American flags should be waved. Gn'R doesn't only tour in America. Only American flags would be completely and utterly pointless. But like I said I totally respect your opinion that the flag idea is stupid. |

better question is...are any of you making placards/flags with slogans on it?
it'd be nice to have something that we'll all recognize...

I have a feeling that these two shows will be edited together and either A) a concert DVD will be released or included with ChiDem or B) a music video will be shot. You may not be allowed to bring anything into the Hammerstein. If you are though, I think it's a grand idea - as long as all the heavy-hitters are represented like the European and Central/South American countries. Those guys are huge fans...

yes opinions are just like assholes and yadda yadda yadda. let me put it this way. there is no way there is going to be flags from any countries waving in the air at the hammerstein.
