Guns N' Roses to Play at Brooklyn Bowl?

[raindogs70]

Has Pitman ever done a DJ "afterparty" set after the show? That makes it sound like band members could be coming out to hang out. I would bring something to get signed just in case.

The last time GNR played Brooklyn? L'amour. Long before the hipsters took over.

Well lets see, I am living with HIV, no longer can work, ...just had to buy a new fridge today before I found out about the show, only get disability .so yeah not a college kid but a person who has to take care of other things, BUT hey I did swing Vegas shows, and 25 other GNR shows since 87, I think I'll be ok not seeing this one.asshole! oh I mean that most affectionately!

You've been to 25 of their concerts plus some Vegas shows as well?    That sounds fantastic & you've obviously seen many changes over that time with the band.
Do you have a favourite era or have you enjoyed all the lineups?
Sorry you are in the situation you're in, life really does suck but you do have all those memories watching Axl growing up from a skinny 25yr old to being a 51yr old still attracting the crowds, the women & touring with some great band members. 
Hope your health is ok at the moment. 

I enjoyed all line ups, I was in a head on collision when I was 22 yrs old Dec. 1992 , by that time I had seen GNR 8-10 times.. while in the hospital as it was near Christmas all I wanted was the GNR VHS shows that were just released from Tokyo shows. Since then I saw them every time I could in NYC, from MSG 2002 and every show pretty much till my last shows in Vegas last yr. I loved every show . They keep me alive for sure. And yeah Im doing good health wise, so long as I do the things I need to. I have no doubt that I'll see them again some point later in the future.

miss you buddy!

Plenty of tickets on stubhub and eBay...it's rotten how so e took away the opportunity for real fans to buy tickets just to make a few extra bucks..after fees the stub hub people really aren't making much if anything..I applaud GN'R for waiting until the last minute to avoid a scalper onslaught...

I might be completely wrong... but I would think GNR has very little to do with setting the price for a night like this

the venue usually charges 10 bux cover charge to get in on a random Thursday to see see whatever local band is playing

Axl Rose shows up... and they want to get paiddddddddddddddddd

i dont blame them

GNR dont set our tix price, but they have set amount of money they demand per show. The venue sets "our" tix price according to what the band/artist charges them. Obviously to pay them and make a profit. A friend of mine is a promoter here in RI and ive seen him negotiate deals. There was this spanish singer tht ask for 40k. So he set the price for $40/tix. The place holds 1500. So in tix alone it was $60k. Plus drinks n stuff... He made 15k tht night.

Hey Jbat, we're Rhode islanders too (Cranston).  We are driving down tomorrow, but can't leave until 2...dreading the traffic at our expected Brooklyn arrival time!

Nice! My parents live in Cranston. Im a East graduate... But Im a mailman in Providence. Ive been to NY shows but this week, sadly, i cant do too much... Basically my girl is sick and gotta look after our kids. But enjoy the show. The smallest venue ive been to for a GNR is the "Ritz" last February. But this one is like playing Mardis Gras in Cranston!!!! UNREAL!!!!

Going to this show with the buddy I am giving the mic to.

Coming back to my place at like 3am and finally giving it to him.

Full circle.

Can't wait.  This show is gonna be awesome.

[Im a East graduate...

Me, East '82, my wife '84,  my son--whose seen the band twice--will be East '16 ... we're traditionalists :-)

Not to be a dick but how can some of you not swing $150 on the spot? Unless you're in college what is the excuse?

For me, it's a work night and the cost. If they were playing in Manhattan or the Barclay Center  and it was  a bit cheaper then I would go. However, that's not the case.  That's an easy $250 night if not more considering tickets, parking and tolls (NJ Transit stops running at 1am), dinner, and a beer or two.  At this stage of my life, I have other priorities other than GNR (despite the fact that I would like to go).

For those going, have fun! I'm glad to say that at least I started this thread.

I'm class of '99. My oldest is starting school this year in johnston. Hopefully by the time he's in HS, im already in Florida. But back to the topic... I REALLY WANNA GO TOMORROW!!!! I think if i get a my girl a Louie bag she'll start feeling better

Shit, dude, I'd feel better with that bag!!

[BangoSkank]

Fuuuuuuck, don't think I can go, but am hustling there right after work to hope get a vinyl signed...

I'm guessing Axl gets there earlier than we think though... maybe around 5ish?

Well lets see, I am living with HIV, no longer can work, ...just had to buy a new fridge today before I found out about the show, only get disability .so yeah not a college kid but a person who has to take care of other things, BUT hey I did swing Vegas shows, and 25 other GNR shows since 87, I think I'll be ok not seeing this one.asshole! oh I mean that most affectionately!

You've been to 25 of their concerts plus some Vegas shows as well?    That sounds fantastic & you've obviously seen many changes over that time with the band.
Do you have a favourite era or have you enjoyed all the lineups?
Sorry you are in the situation you're in, life really does suck but you do have all those memories watching Axl growing up from a skinny 25yr old to being a 51yr old still attracting the crowds, the women & touring with some great band members. 
Hope your health is ok at the moment. 

I enjoyed all line ups, I was in a head on collision when I was 22 yrs old Dec. 1992 , by that time I had seen GNR 8-10 times.. while in the hospital as it was near Christmas all I wanted was the GNR VHS shows that were just released from Tokyo shows. Since then I saw them every time I could in NYC, from MSG 2002 and every show pretty much till my last shows in Vegas last yr. I loved every show . They keep me alive for sure. And yeah Im doing good health wise, so long as I do the things I need to. I have no doubt that I'll see them again some point later in the future.

miss you buddy!

Just want to say big THANK YOU !!!!

Between bills,unexpected expensises and added costs to a night out(missed work, babysitters etc) it is very understandable why some cant go..

Actually, before most hipsters were even BORN, let alone walking.

God, I'm getting old.
