OK, I'll give this a shot before I actually purchase from the Hard Rock. I have tickets (or have them lined up) to 10/31, 11/2, 11/3, 11/9, 11/10, 11/23, and 11/24. Still need a single ticket to every other show. If anyone has an extra for any show, let me know and we'll make a deal. Prefer GA floor, but will take anything. (There's no way I can afford to do GA for all 12, so will do balcony if I have to.) Worse comes to worse, if I don't have a ticket to a particular show day, I'll just go down there and see if I can find someone getting rid of one.

Is everyone thinking of pre-partying at the Hard Rock or are there better/cheaper bars/pubs nearby?

I think there's a liquor store right by the Hard Rock closer to Kiss mini golf. It would probably be cheaper... Then again I wouldn't wanna carry a 6 pck around, unless you go Randy Quaid style.

I'm staying at Terrible's a half mile away from the Hard Rock. Drinks are cheap there so we'll be pre-partying our asses off there, grabbing cheap beer from their party store and walking down to the Hard Rock whenever the time is right.

Guess I could've mentioned which show
We're going to the Wednesday November 7th show but we're flying in very early on Monday morning the 5th so if you're still in town, we'd love to meet up, grab a drink and hear what you have to say about the show!

Same !
Can we start a separate thread that is just about the times of the shows starting, and how the meet and greets work ? I am not going to look at any of the setlists or reviews of the shows. I want to be totally surprised when I go

In case anyone's worried about their ground(ctrl) order . . . last night they e-mailed me with a UPS tracking number. So, I guess tickets should start arriving soon. Unfortunately, my ticket is scheduled to arrive after I've already left town.
But I was told to let them know to reprint the ticket, so I can pick it up at will call the night of the show.

That's awesome, I love how everything is from the current band as it should be...
When I saw GN'R in Las Vegas twice in 2006, I had my photo taken in front of the old stand. The one which had Axl's blue Vegas jacket, and his cowboy hat and kilt.

Appetite for a residency: Chatting with Guns N? Roses? Tommy Stinson
Wed, Oct 24, 2012
Will you prepare for a 12-show residency any differently than you prepare for a tour?
Probably a little bit, because I think we?re going to have to alternate sets and do different things. Whereas when we tour we kind of tweak the set as we go and then kind of get in a mode of it being a certain way, with a few audible changes as we go along. I think with the Vegas sets, we?re going to try and make some different things happen to kind of keep each show a little bit different.
Like, keep a basic set and mix in a few songs? Or will you have multiple setlists?
I think we?re really going to have to think about that. And as you just say that ? (pauses) ? an idea came into my mind ? to really, drastically change the set. I can?t share it with you, but I think would be really good. I think there?s a couple different ways we could go about all this, and I think we should.
I
s there you?ll be able to do, production-wise, to make these shows special since you won?t have to tear it all down every night?
I?ve got a couple of ideas, and I think everyone is going to have to use their noggin to try to figure it out.
I know Axl [Rose] is going to try and make every show different from one to the next.
I think that would be the way he thinks.
Sounds like there?s still a lot up in the air. Do you think it will mostly happen spontaneously?
Ya know, I don?t know. I think that we?re probably going to have to talk about how different we want to make the shows, then once we do that and we all get on the same page it?ll be easy to say, ?Hey, how ?bout tonight we do it this way?? That way, people aren?t gonna go, ?Wow, I saw them last week, and I saw that set.? It would be good to have them see a different set each time. To make people go, ?Wow, that was totally different.? It might be totally acoustic for half the set tonight. Or maybe we?ll do half the set on f*cking kazoos! (laughs)
The residency is called Appetite for Democracy. Does that mean it will mostly draw from Appetite for Destruction and Chinese Democracy?
I just think somebody came up with a cute term (laughs). I don?t really know where that came from, but it is definitely going to be more than just Appetite and Chinese Democracy. It?s going to be a lot of things?as much as we can throw out there.
You?ve been in Guns N? Roses almost 15 years, right?
Yeah, ?98! F*ckin A!
I know you played on Chinese Democracy, but were you involved in the writing process or was the album already written by the time you joined the band?
I came in sort of ? in the middle of the record, but there was a lot to write and a lot to put together still. So I was pretty much involved in helping put all that stuff that you hear on Chinese Democracy together in one aspect or another.
When you took over GNR bass duties, did you try to play like Duff McKagan?
Or did you try to make it your own? I think, other than him being more riff oriented than I am, we?re not all that different players. We both kind of came from a punk-rock background, and it wasn?t all that much of a stretch. I did, however, tweak my sound a little bit so that it would fit sonically with what was going on. I didn?t really try to sound like Duff necessarily, but to make it sound as powerful as I could while still fitting in to what?s going on.
I read that you and Paul Westerberg are working on new Replacements material.
Yeah, we recorded some songs live in the studio a couple weekends ago to benefit Slim Dunlap, the guitar player that took my brother?s place. He had a massive series of strokes this last spring, and he?s pretty laid up, so we?re trying to raise some money for his recovery. We did, like, four songs. [Ex-Replacements drummer] Chris Mars did a song to throw on there, and we?re going to release a Replacements EP at some point. The proceeds will all go to Slim.
That will surely feed Replacements reunion tour rumor mill ?
You never know. We certainly had a f*cking ball doing it, and it was fun to get in the f*cking mud and just kind of sling around until it kind of warps into something and you?re just like, ?Wow, we can actually still f*cking do that.? I think some time, maybe end of December or early January, we might try to just record some songs together, not for any purpose for The Replacements necessarily but just do some recording just to have that vibe, whether it?s for his record, my record, whatever. That?s just something we talked about. It could fall apart at any point. We both had enough fun with it that it seemed like it would be a good thing to try and do.
During the ?80s, The Replacements exemplified anti-mainstream music. Now, you play in Guns N? Roses, one of the most popular bands from that period. Was that a strange transition, mentally?
Ya know, they?re totally different things, but they?re both totally the same in a lot of ways, in that its rock ?n? roll. It?s what I?ve always done.
Axl is about as anti-corporate-rock as anyone I know
, Paul [Westerberg] included. It just so happens that their model of anti-corporate-rock got through and people liked it. People bought it. I can?t speak for the whole band, but I can speak for me getting down with Axl, and he comes from the same place as all of us.

I think there's a liquor store and a brew house across from the Hard Rock, but I'm sure some are going to tough it out at the nickel slots for "free" drinks.
Keep in mind the Hard Rock's not on the strip, it's prob. a half hour walk, it's close to UNLV.
There were complaints about the beer selection at The Joint, there's decent brewpubs all over the Strip, but don't remember there being one in the Hard Rock casino.

Food ain't bad either.
That's about as good as your gonna get for a pre party place. Besides the Hard Rock itself. I wish the Rainbow was still right across the street. That place didn't last too long.
