Emails from Richard Fortus

[WeHeldTogether]

Sorry if this has been posted before, but...can someone post Ron's e-mail address for me?

Thanx a lot!?

Yeah, i've been wondering that for a while too.  I'm going to go search for it; i wanna congratulate him and ask him what his guitar practicing-routine is like.

i heard ron told someone at an after party during the hammerstein shows, that the fall is looking really good for the release

[Evolution]

I asked Ron:

 Hey Ron.


I dunno how much influence you would have on this, but if you could play Chinese Democracy this Wednesday it would be much appreciated! What a rocker!


Thanks


and he replied


    Yeah, we kinda play 'em as we feel 'em, spur of the moment - hopefully that one will get in there!

bbf


I hope so

What's Rons e-mail?

I e-mailed Richard almost two months ago and he hasn't replied back.  Does anyone know how long it takes him usually?

When hes on tour (which he is now) it takes him awhile to respond, sometimes 6-7 months.

i sent richard an email in october and just got a response this week

That setlist is definitely NOT "spur of the moment". Although I am praying the song gets on this setlist at some point in the near future.

It certainly IS, even if the pool of songs they pick from is limited.

What is your definition of "spur of the moment"? Go find out, and then check out these setlists.

wrong, they don't have a setlist, just a list of songs to play, from wich they chose wich one they'll actually play once they're onstage.
marc, their soundtech told me that. and if you give it any thought you'd come to that conclusion as well.

what u'r complaining about is the fact that they only have something like 20 something songs to chose from cuz they haven't rehearsed more to play on the tour. but that's another story altogether

RE: Hello from Mexico!!

Hi Arturo,
Sorry it has taken me so long to reply to your email. Thank you for taking the time to write to me and for your kind words. I think that Gn'R will be playing in Mexico before the end of '06. TO answer your question, Axl has written all of the words on the new record. I think that they are the best lyrics he has written. Some really powerful and honest words. Hope you get to hear it very soon. Hope to see you soon and thanks for your support!

Some areas of the set are 100% definate, I agree. But you can hear Axl verbally ask what song they should play next on many of the shows. At Download for example he said "Let's Try IRS" and asked Brain and Tommy at Hammersmith for suggestions.

Both Ron and Richard are amazing persons replying to our mail. I mailed Ron just to say a big thank you for him being so cool and nice to us GNR fans. He replied the day after.

Axl has written all of the words on the new record.

I knew that was the case. Me and Madagas have brought that up a few times over the years, and people thought we were crazy. Hey Madagas, care to weigh in on this?
