The Acoustic Show

[Christos AG]

mm In that part of IRS I hear something like this:

"feeling like I r......... get tired of this sound"

is it any closer?

also the part where everyone think it says "plead the fifth" sounds more like "bleed the hit (hick?)"

lol, I'm really confused now

I think it's something like "Feeling like I'm never getting out of this song"...

And the other one says something like "so when you lead..." but I don't remember the exact lyrics.

What was Axl actually drinking? and Robin?

Well, to be honest, that is something that I don't remember.

and Christos - THANK YOU for above review. It made me feel like I was there. I can not fucking belive I was in London that night, but sleeping... where was my ANGEL? 

You're welcome. I tried to write down all I could remember. I'm pretty sure there are a couple of things I keep on forgetting but shit happens... 

Please excuse my shock at the time...

THat is some exciting stuff, love reading this thread, nothing like feeling good vibes from other awesome fans who get it. Christos , jarmo, babydolls , all were who were there, Im so happy for you guys, and thank you for your interpretations of what must and clearly was an awesome evening !, ROCK ON!

Please excuse my shock at the time...

Nah don't worry about it... you made great interpretation of things... btw. next time you should offer the band some MEDICA... it taste great and mix well with Red Bull?

Funny how with all the rumours of Axl drinking again (and doing drugs) I can only catch the guy drinking mineral water... or champagne... I mean, how drunk can you get from champagne?

And everytime I ask if anyone did see him drinking something else, no one knows... it is like a COMMON AMNESIA? ... what, did he bite a leg because mineral water was not good that day?

It's not like he's drunk, trust me, a drunk wouldn't remember all these details he's mentioning...

[wells]

Well that is exactly what I want to prove. Everyone is taking how He is back to drugs and heavy drinking. Even if he is it is his personal choice and I don't care, but people seems to forget you can have fun and enjoy life even without it. And He said it million times in what way it affects his singing. And yes I doubt a constant drunk and drugged person to have such a detailed memories... This was posted from Sony Ericsson K800

I thought nothing could top the show on Saturday night. It was just amazing.

So when the show ended, we had heard rumors about an after show party in Soho. We thought we'd try and get a cab and go see what's going on there. If it failed, we could always go somewhere else for a drink or go get some sleep.

We waited at Wembley for maybe 90 minutes for a cab. We tried stopping them and calling. When we finally got one, I thought we'd arrive too late.

We get to Regent Street and go to the club where the rumored party was and security wouldn't let us in. So we waited for a bit since we had nothing better to do. Then I started noticing people outside talking about this second club.

Which made me a bit confused. Then I think Christos got a message.

We didn't have much to lose, so we headed there and pretty much as soon as we got there I was let in because a person at the door recognized me. Which was the first shock of the evening. Totally unexpected.

As mentioned, Christos got in later thanks to another person.

So I walk in and realize this place is tiny! When you got in, there's a bar at the other end of the room and to your left is like a small area with couches or something. Sort of like a separate elevated area from the dance floor. That turned out to be the stage.

The stage was being prepared, instruments were being tuned and then band members started arriving.

I remember asking Christos for a piece of paper so I could write down the setlist, otherwise there's no way I'd remember it.

The show starts around 4am and they played ten songs. It was very surreal!


I was standing to the left, right in front of Dizzy with some girls in front of me. The tallest guys, including Christos, were standing in front of Axl...

I think some of the crowd didn't seem to understand what "try to take a step back" means. When we'd take a step back, people behind us would get annoyed! Some even tried to get into the space which was created in front of us when we did. WTF? People were being pushed on stage and some people thought we were giving them an opportunity to get closer when we took a step back??

Thanks to Bumblefoot for taking care of things.? ?

After the show we hang around until the lights came on and the music stopped. When we got out there were still photographers outside.?


Very surreal night. Thanks to GN'R for making it happen and thanks to those who made it possible for me to see it!

Great Review Jarmo!
thanks for sharing!!! 

[madagas]

Nice stories Jarmo and Christos. Thanks for sharing...Was Tommy the one who recognized you two? How was SWAY at the acoustic show?

[jarmo]

No, Tommy wasn't the one.


Everything sounded amazing at that show!

if there was a smiley to portray JEALOUS i would post it because that is so me at the moment i wish so much i could of been there 

ah well maybe another time (yeah right)

its sounds like the night of dreams for a gunner fan

[warrocks]

i'm so happy for you guys  .


 


 I'll keep on dreaming with a night like that   

[Wooody]

uhm...where are the pics from that show? Im tired of looking ...I know.. I couldn't find my own ass.

Well, it's only 4 pages. LOOK.

OK, now that was funny..............

Well, it wasn't supposed to be funny.

I'm getting tired of all these people who are "tired" to look through 4 fuckin pages for a link.

It's not that fuckin difficult. Why do we have to look through 40 pages of posts full of "tired" people and the same links over and over again?

You could be nicer, and isn't it ironic... you're tired of tired people? I honestly spent quiet a long time searching.... So I MISSED A LITTLE FUCKING LINK , well suck my big toe motherfucker, sorry for not spending 24h everyday here reading every single post to keep up with everything !? get a life

I have a life, that's why I don't wanna spend my days reading through posts like yours, asking for links that have been posted a couple of pages ago, cause all you had to do is search 4 pages, not 40.

So, "motherfucker" do your search cause next time I won't be so nice.

you dont wanna spend? but you did  Next time you wont be so nice? oooh scary 

[killingvector]

Fantastic review. If it was me, I would be left outside the club with no way to get in. I'm glad that our regulars found their way inside.

I am hoping for one or two US acoustic surprise shows.

I really enjoyed reading AGs and Jarmos review of the show.

Seems like an awesome gig.

Too bad in North America we don't have a cool clique like Will , AG, Jarmo, Adz, and Jim.

You Europeanos seem like an awesome bunch of fellas.

Thank you. We are available for bookings now. Add some European cool to your pre-show meetings.



Does anybody know the capacity of this place? I'm guessing there were max 200 people there.

[AdZ]

The Cuckoo Club features 5,000 square feet of glamorous interior design spread over two floors, with a capacity of 300, and a committee list which reads like a who?s who of creative talent in London.

So that should be around 150/floor?

[AdZ]

That's not European, that's Irish!
