JULY 18TH, Sheffield, England, Hallam fm arena!!!! UK tour stop 1!!!

[Scabbie]

I have a question...where do these so called curfew fines go?

It isn't returned to the fans for their inconvenience and I'm sure it doesn't go to the venue employees who have to stay late...

Is it the council?

Probably a little off topic, I know! ?

[Thorne]

Yeah he didn't play his BBF guitar....he did seem in a bad mood but during his Dont Cry guitar solo he came over to my side and managed a smile (which I'm almost 100% sure was aimed at me.....I know Richard smiled at me but he was smiling at loads of people on our side!)...

Argh cannot wait till Birmingham!.....I hope everyone is in a better mood and that the sound tech guys do their job properly....not only was Axl unable to hear himself but it seemed there was a problem with the Bass drum and Sebastian was having tech difficulties during his bands set....and I'm pretty sure I saw Robin complain about something to the sound tech (I was on the right hand side so I had a clear view....saw Beta alot aswell)

Off Topic: I know theres a thread on this already but I don't want to drag it up from god knows what page....My mate wants to wait at the backstage door so we can attempt to get some photo's/autographs....does anyone know what time is best for this? (apart from after the gig)....any help would be greatly appreciated!

and that's an amzing picture Apple....makes me even more angry that mine got corrupted

[AxlsMainMan]

Looking tight to say the least.. .. ..

Now that is what I call a GNR pic!!!!!

thanks again

another question Ron was on stage the whole show? or did he leave for extended periods?

[Thorne]

He was off for a fair fiew songs....I actually thought he wasn't going to come back but he did (I think during KOHD).....tis a shame and I would have been dissapointed if I wasn't going to see them again!

Someone threw a rose on stage and Richard picked it up and put it in his mouth....you cold see the thorns but I don't think he cared....and Robin came over to my side alot....he didn't seem to mind the amount of photo's I (and many others) were taking.....I'm going to try and find someone who can send photo's to the comp so I can upload the three pictures I've got on my phone....seriously not happy about the memory card in my camera!

[Neemo]

He was off for a fair fiew songs....I actually thought he wasn't going to come back but he did (I think during KOHD).....tis a shame and I would have been dissapointed if I wasn't going to see them again!

Maybe his guitar got lost in baggage or some shit...looks like this was blown way out of proportion to me

again thanks for the memories Thorne I'm jealous

[Thorne]

I reckon it's either gone missing, broken or he's been banned from using it.....the latter would explain why he seemed pissed at Axl (though I didn't notice this....he just seemed in a bad mood....and I don't think he had words with Axl at the end of NR....I don't even remember him being on stage during this song).....shame if he can't use it....it's really grown on me!

maybe some stupid roadie stepped on it and broke it. Withouht that guitar he is nothing 

Did anyone see Ron punch Fortus in the stomach just after mr. brownstone? They had to be pulled apart, Ron left the stage and didnt come back till KOHD had finished.

.or maybe Fortus sat on it and busted it 

[Shirell]

Sounds like a great show despite the technical difficulties. ?Hope the sound techs manage to get their act together for Birmingham.

[axe]

I'm not over analyzing it, but from Fortus emails I've always got the impression that he doesn't like Ron very much. I don't want to start anything, it's just something I've realised, even though I might be wrong.

Fortus has not yet even answered the emails from the time Ron has been in the band. He's answering his April emails at the moment, right? Of course he might have already known at that point that Ron is or will be in the band, but the people sending him emails and asking about stuff learned about Ron joining the band only in mid-May.

[Lucky]

You should read more in the GN'R section since I'm not only complaining. But if Axl wants his new band introduce to the fans they should play more new tracks.

Yeah, so that the majority of the audience will wonder what the fuck is going on. Great idea.







/jarmo

so when are they suposed to play the new songs?!
Never?
Or untill after Chinese democracy is released? = Close to never?

[greendog]

by the way... there wasnt an encore.

the band put there instruments down, walked of stage... 30 seconds MAX! and came on and played paradise city... seriously, the crowd didnt even have time to shout "GUNS".

they prolly told the band that....get your asses outhere and finish cuz the power goes off @ midnight and your stage will turn into a pumpkin

[SADIS]

Maybe, just maybe it was that Ron was off the stage for long periods of time b/c his guitar & amps weren't working and he was trying to fix it? That seems pretty logical to me. Everybody is overdramatizing it way too much. He also seems like a guy who really gets pissed when he can't give the fans what they came for and therefore is really pissed at the tech/himself?

Through out the rest of the show he was talking to some guy at the back of the stage and only came back on stage every so often to play his guitar solo

Ron looked pissed up, he had to lean against the amps a few times to keep his balance


Now that would suck.........

[/i]

wow, thats pretty fucked up... is it true?!
I?m lost in this thread... the show was great but they didnt play mpre new songs and BBF was angry / sad with something?!

can we get some news from anyone inside the GNR camp? Mysteron?

LOL

[babydolls]

i think we would have heard more people talk about this "alleged" punch than just one poster, if it had happened. ?Plenty of people here were there and dont seem to have seen it - especially if "they had to be pulled apart".

Bf is entitled to be grumpy if something has pissed him off - I hope he enjoys the rest of the UK tour as much as he has seemed to so far in rest of Europe.

[Apple7]

Axl is back..........
