Ha Ha I'm seeing GNR in only 11 days

[Axl4Prez2004]

Officially 10 days away from seeing GNR again...11 days away from having no voice left!    

I've got 3 1/2 years of pent-up insanity I'm ready to release May 12, 2006!  It's been way too long.  I'm thinking a sign saying, "FINALLY!"  Cool?

[Jaffattack]

I AM LOOKING TO TRADE 3 FLOOR TIX FOR THE 5/17 SHOW, FOR 3 FLOOR TIX TO THE 5/12 SHOW. A STRAIGHT UP 3 FOR 3 TRADE. CAN MEET IN NYC. PM ME!

I'm not trying to be rude, but please don't bring a sign. With all of us on the floor it be cool if there's no obstructions. However, I totally agree with the sentiment!

good luck with that. the value of the 15th and 17th shows went down drastically after the 12th and 14th shows were announced.

I'm sure there are still gonna be some (hopefully) goodhearted debates about the old band vs the new band and music in general. But for the most part I'm stoked about meeting tons of GNR fans. I think it'll change alot of the posting and bring a bunch of us together more.

Last week at the Devils/Ranger game some guy had a Devs jersey with the name Mr. Intensity. Was that you? Or some freaky coincidence.

[Barbie567]

It holds 300 people, & I will be working on drink specials when I talk to the guy tomorrow.  There's a fairly varied jukebox.

[GnR-NOW]

theres alot of suspense building up, i really hope the 4 shows in nyc are a celebration of a great band returning, and not another what could have been ...

[grog mug]

I think for the 12th i'll be at the pre-party from12-either 1 or 2 , i wanna be on line by 2:00

[AxlsMainMan]

Hey Mr. Intensity,

Comaknight sold me two tickets to the May 12th show, so if all goes according to plan, I will be at the Hammerstein Ballroom on May 12th to rock the fuck out with all my fellow Gunners!

If you wanted to add me and one guest to the list for the May 12th pre-party that would be great.

Is there still an after-party, or are we leaving that up to everyone to get together and get fucked up after the show together?

Is there absolutely no seats in the venue for this show?

If so, would it be best to get to the venue way the fuck early so you can see the stage?

Im sure once GnR takes the stage, everyone will rush to the front so it might not be too too hard to squeeze up to the front...

& also, whats everyone's stance on bringing cameras to these shows, disposable or otherwise?

I know with the small number of people who will be in attendance, security is going to be a bit? more detailed, but is there zero tolerance for these shows?

I dont care about videotaping it, I just want to take some pictures home with me to remember the show forever from. If I bring a disposable, Im just afraid of security finding it, and revoking my ticket

Im coming way to far from Canada to see GnR to be shut out at the door over a little thing like a camera...

Ohhhhh!!

Hey Mysteron....

Do you think, or know if Axl or any of the bandmembers would be down for giving an interview before, or after the show?

I volunteer at a community radio station in my era, and obviously support and promote the shit outta GnR and my supervisor is mad on my tale to get some kind of interview with someone associated with the group...even road crew or otherwise...

It wouldnt have to be an indepth interview, just a few short questions...

Let me know what you think Mysteron, and I guess Ill toss an email to Sanctuary through our station this afternoon...

So who all is going on May 12th?!?!

I wanna know who Im gunna be partyin' and rocking out with
