If there's a US tour I will move heaven and earth to get there. TPR are one of my favorite bands out there today. This is one hell of a twin bill.

Already have my Springsteen tickets for Philly, postponed from last year. I expect he'll hit Jersey as well, and I'll be there if he does. Don't have a ticket yet, but Stones at MetLife in May are a near certainty. On a smaller scale, just got tickets to see the Chapin Family tour honoring Harry.

It was an inside joke that started on here around 2009-2010. There was a borderline parody site called Eat My Silkworms which was based on the premise that Silkworms (now Absurd) was the greatest GNR song of all time and Chris Pitman was secretly the band's creative genius. That site coined the Mother Goose nickname and acted as a cultish fanclub for him, but almost entirely ironically. The joke caught on sufficiently that the band eventually got wind of it.

Greatest Nu-Guns Moment

The Eddie Trunk interview with Sebastian Bach and Chris Jericho was such a surreal thing to experience. -
They look right. The Slash is definitely good. I'm not sure I've ever seen Axl sign first name only like that, but the letters do look right for the most part, I think (though the lack of last name and compressed size of the auto throw off some of the pieces I normally look for). Whether it's live ink or printed you would only be able to tell in person, but it doesn't look autopenned, and I would lean towards it being authentic on the whole.

Guns N'Roses Member quirks? š

Chris Pitman had this quirk of being a big ol' badass, swinging towels over his head and making absolute bangers like Silkworms. All hail Mother Goose! -
Do you ever feel foolish spending money on GnR?
axlslash replied to username's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
I don't regret a single dollar I've spent on the band, with the exception of buying a Nightrain membership to make sure I wouldn't miss out on tickets when they added the second MetLife show in 2016....Ended up buying tickets during the Nightrain exclusive onsale that ended being way more expensive than way better seats when the show sold horribly. But I've seen em twice, once on the UCAP Tour and once on Not In This Lifetime, and felt totally satisfied. It's been a while, so I'd probably be happy to see em again regardless of everything else, but with the Stones, Bruce, and possibly AC/DC making the rounds coming up, my concert budget will likely be spoken for. And I'm not paying for any of these gimmick releases, for GNR or any other band. Put out an album and I'll buy it, but not overpaying for collectibles to get to hear The General a month early. Can't feel foolish about spending money I never spent. -
Ron is the goddamn coolest dude. I was at the Up Close and Person show in Philly. When the doors opened at the Electric Factory, he and his wife were just hanging out down on the floor chatting with people, taking photos etc (most people didn't realize who he was, so those of us who did got some quick chats and personal time). This was one of the shows that got tacked on and extended the tour when he was supposed to be having his back injury treated, so he disappeared for a chunk of the middle of the show after being in obvious pain throughout. When the show ended and a bunch of us waited by the stage door to meet the band, we all expected him to get out as quickly as possible. But no, he propped up against the wall by the door and hung out for a good half hour signing, taking pictures, just shooting the shit with us. The man was in severe pain and in need of immediate medical care, but still went out of his way to be cool to the fans. I will always respect him deeply for that.
