Haha....ever since I was like 10 or 11 I've used the russtcb thing so it should be pretty easy for every to remember Russ....but I totally know what you mean!

[axlsalinger]

Asked this earlier but I'll try once more. I'll be heading down to NYC solo for a couple of days and the show on the 15th, which is going to be awesome. Any baseball fans interested in going to the Yankees game against Texas on Tuesday May 16? Send me a pm.

 ? I locked mine in a fire/water-proof safe along with all my important documents and everything. There's no way I'm missing those shows - come hell or high-water: literally!?

i believe it.  i should do the same thing. you know i was actually thinking that when im at the preparty or another bar before the show, what if someone bumps into be and spills a drink on me where i have the tix, i mean thats how paranoid i have become lol its crazy, but im sure it ll all be a memorable time i cant wait !

[Rosettta7]

All right, my second ticket came today.  I'm all set.  I can't wait...only 8 days!

May 15th 

[speed-stone]

After much thought, I finally decided to get a ticket to the May 14th 2006 show.
I felt let down after the Boston show in 2002, but I figure Axl might do it right this time:

That means:
-Play more new songs
-More rants
-More spontaneity
-Stage Diving
-More wardrobe changes
-Maybe even a bandmember or two making a remark on the mike between songs (like Slash did in UYI Tour)

I just want the nu-GNR to be something akin to the old GNR, something dangerous, exciting and yet with a chip on their shoulder with something to prove, not some nostalgia act like they were in 2002 with no album in sight.
Yes, people on this board will criticize me, I don;t give a fuck. I love my GNR the same way you all do, I just want the new one to reflect a little more on the older one in the spirit. The new songs should do that, they were my favorite part of the last tour in 2002. Since I live a mile and a half from Hammerstein and I figure that a bunch of you guys are flying in for the show, well fuck - I should be spoiled enough to walk down to the show and see what happens and see if all the hype pays off.

I'm most happy to hear Axl spoke to Sebastian Bach. He's getting his senses back after 13 years away from the spotlight. Hopefully this extends itself to the stage and the new songs.

Mark N' Roses

what do you know about axl and his "senses"? i get that you want the old guns n' roses, the "magic" you and your peers keep referring to, but this band has a magic of his own and axl has infact moved on and created something new, and we should all be grateful for that.

[shotgun_blue]

god,i was so chuffed i lived in the UK when all the dates for the tour were announced,but now im so jelaous of you guys in NY.if any of you are mega rich women and you want a date to the NY shows (providing you have a spare ticket) i would be happy to accept plane tickets and accomadation from the UK to NY and escort you to the NY shows.ill also buy you a MacDonalds on the way 

Im flying on my own from Heathrow on my birthday so come on man pull yourself together! And before you say it im not rich! Once in a lifetime.

Just booked it all up ladies and gentleman, two nights and one show to see and I cannot wait! Never been to New York either.

YES COMA!!! I'd love to hear that, that's my #1 request for old GNR music. Granted, I want to hear the new stuff, but out of any other song I'd love to hear Coma
