Guns N' Roses to Play at Brooklyn Bowl?

[MR.BROWNSTONE]

Regardless of some of these strange posts it was quite the memorable show..Loved Axl's response to the club not being what he expected when he signed on...

It really was a memorable show. I don't think anyone really know what to expect at this show even the band. It was a great time and hope to see them again one day in a small club.

When out side in line they have a sign for the Brooklyn Bowl and also the Brooklyn Brewery. Funny how a few people were in line for 30mins or more till they noticed the line was not for the brewery tour.

Seeing them recently in clubs during the Hammersmith shows and UCP this club was even more intimate...Not even barricades seperating the crowd from the stage...

TIL was one of the CD songs that over time grew on me...My new found interest in tact I figured it would be a tough song to pull off live due to raged vocals accompanied by  more sentiment lyrics and music..But after hearing it live I was blown away..Following is a review of it from the Brooklyn Bowl Show.. It's an Lmost perfect summary of the CD and live versions.

Of all the massive hits they played on that stage, the most important Rose moment was during the comparatively quiet Chinese Democracy deep cut "This I Love." Without the bluster of his band, you could hear the voice of Axl Rose, 26 years past its breakthrough moment, almost unadorned. You could hear the cracks and faults of time, you could hear the moments of sheer perfection that never left, you could hear the Joplin-meets-alleycat mewl that it's hard to believe was somehow the voice of rock radio and MTV next to honey-dripped stuff like White Lion and INXS. You could hear Axl Rose, a guy who could headline a music festival if he was backed by a Discman and a sparkler. We overheard one dude saying, "Worth every penny.

This show has some of the best bootleg material..The "cameramans" view up front near Bumble is clear with a cool angle...

Thankyou for this beautiful post. I loved TIL from the very first time I heard it.

I was too excited to be there to try and film anything. I wish somebody had a vid of Tommy asking me to give Bitty Ted to Axl.

[Hustlers Revenge]

did anybody from the band bowl a few games afterwards? i wonder who's got the best game...

my money is on tommy. but i bet frank can crush the pins too.

[LIGuns]

Doubtful because it appeared place remained open after the concert. :-)..Perhaps beforehand..

[jarmo]

As far as I remember, they opened the lanes before the show. So people who had booked to play there came in before the GN'R show started....

Apparently Axl was a bit in the gutter..Still a great show!!

[Jayster]

I get this mental image of Axl bowling in his full on stage gear, leather jacket with the studs in them, Ashba style jeans, cowboy hat...and a custom pair of bowling shoes to match the outfit.

either way, the videos from this sounds like an amazing time! axl sounded good and looks like a damn cool venue to see the band in.

[LIGuns]

It was a coop venue..total dive bar feel but not run down..vintage pictures hanging up and let's not forget about the giant ceiling fan possibly rattling dangerously loose with every high pitch scream..
