Fucking awesome,wish I was there

[superstarmc]

This is awesome, only if i can bare the slash is god and axl is nothing without him on youtube.

[ppbebe]

i wouldnt read drivel @ youtube.

It bums me out so many of these people that are in these crowds are there because they are in "the scene."  I know these are being done because of fashion week and that scene goes hand in hand with that,

yea but no need to get hostile to fashion freaks and casual fans. that's like a general musicl fan feeling awkward toward diehards. at least they aren't living in the 80s/90s. besides, actually many fashion designers/writers love Gn'R. They never hesitate in showing their love for GN'R at every fashion week. I always thought it amusing when music writers and its tools were claiming the band was 'out'. really who's the fashion victim?

Wow! Absolutely surreal!!

Yes I agree, thank you very much for these whoever is responsible for recording them.

I've always wondered what Jungle would sound like done acoustically, and it owns. I also love how in the Sweet Child video the band are playing the intro really mellow and soft, then Tommy comes in with the bass and rocks the hell out of it.

From Eddie Trunk posted on Feb. 12th.

Just as I got home from the airport I got a text at like 1AM that G&R was going to be playing a surprise show in NYC at the old CBGB. It is now a store for clothes designer John Varvatos. Holly who handles my phones at Sirius/XM lives in NYC and went. Turns out Axl and the band played a long acoustic set in the early hours today. She said it was amazing and Axl looked and sounded great. Photos Holly took will be posted on this site very soon from this special event. I've heard Axl will be hangin in NYC for a few weeks, so you never know if he might pop in again at some point on the radio shows, lets hope.

Yeah I mentioned before.  I listened to Eddie's Sirius/XM show on Monday night on Sirus 19 The Boneyard from 6-10PM.  He mentioned the GNR gigs at the beginning of the show and how Holly went to the first one.  He sounded like he wanted to talk about it more but he had 2 guests on, which took up about 2 hours of the show and music took up about another hour.  And nobody who called in brought up GNR.  So next week, maybe we should call and force the issue.  I tried to call towards the end of the show, the last call in portion of the show, but couldn't get through.

From an article about John Varvatos;

"It is very much in the spirit of music in the Bowery and we have had some legendary times," he says. "Guns N' Roses came to the Bowery store to headline New York Fashion Week and they were meant to perform four songs for me. In the end, they played for two and a half hours solid. It was a complete surprise and an amazing show that was talked about for weeks. One of the guys from ZZ Top said it was one of his five greatest moments in music."
