Hartwall Areena - July 5th & 6th!! (Helsinki, Finland)

Does anyone know whats the intro song before WTTJ riff kicks in?

Does anybody know if it's possible that Michael Monroe will play tonight with Axl? It's only my supposition, but If Dizzy played Don't Ever Leave Me .... I'm using my illusion? 

[Emilie]

There's also another story where they interview Mike Monroe about Axl. There's nothing new or interesting really. Mike wasn't able to attend yesterday's show.

Could you translate that story too, please? I would love to hear it.

Phew..good show last night, although I think that five solo spots may be just a bit too many. My wife and I drove our own car to the show and I'm glad we did, cause the taxi lines were insane after the show.

A little disappointed that there wasn't any Izzy or Sebastian Bach at the show, but great concert anyway. SCOM, KOHD and November Rain were my favourites. Bumblefoot's Don't Cry-solo was awesome and Finck has really improved improved his playing since 2001-2002. Can't remember song order, I slept for only two or three hous last night and I'm supposed to be at work in about one hour...

Sorry, I bought an online copy of the paper and it's not working anymore. But there was something about Axl being a great guy, Mike playing in Bad Obsession and signing in Ain't It Fun, how they have not kept in contact in many many years, but Mike still talks to Slash every now and then, and then there was the mention about the thing in Japan 2001 when Axl didn't want to play at the same stadium than Hanoi or something like that. "It wasn't a big deal for us. We played in the stadium near-by and it was the best promotion we could hope for. I thanked Axl for that (during the gig)." Then Mike said that he isn't able to attend the Helsinki shows because of Hanoi's own tour.

Ok.. Thank you!

Nice to hear he's talking to Slash!

I have it but it's not the best quality I can upload that part tomorrow anyway. Not a problem

Talked with my friend today who was working backstage in Helsinki and he told me few things.

When Dizzy started playing Don't ever leave me by Hanoi Rocks, Axl yelled Dizzy "Your a fucking genious!!" as Axl and the band didn't know what Dizzy was going to play.

For the drummer of Melrose, Gersh replaced the drumheads of his drums, also the guitarist of Melrose had lived with Dizzy in the past.
