  1. 50 i think is cheap nowadays isnt elton john like a 100.00 i would never pay that not even to see gnr.

    i dont think they are doing the presale at glasgow with the 02

    a hope its not sold out when i call up on the 2nd of march im going to call at 9am

    saying that in 06 when they did glasgow it wasnt sold out busy but not sold out.

  2. wow been here myself for 8 years and fair enough i havent really been here in recent only cause there is nothing to really post about

    but ill be sad to c the fourm go had some good times on here years ago few good laughs

  3. Ive always thought it strange when I read something that Matt said when they got back to LA after the last show in Argentina (last one they were all together)

    And Axl said something to Matt like

    "See you in two years" or something like that. Matt thought they would take some time off but not two years and then get back to work.

    You go on a 28 month tour...see how long it takes you to be in motion all the time and balance all the past present and future out. Come home to a shitstorm and have to rewire yourself to being "normal" ...

    Ya know..maybe Axl was burned out...completely uninspired after UYI and then all the shit came down in the courts, with his woman, the band ect...

    think about it since he ditched Indiana and headed for LA he was in constant motion.always on the run, always in demand ect...what ya going to do with the millions you made? You cant be a rockstar 24/7. Throughout the UYI tour you can hear it in his rants...listen to them...sounds like disillusionment to me...most of us have no idea what pressure must have kicked him in the balls when the court cases started rolling in...and the two loves of his life come out swinging HARD..his bandmates estranged and eventually going off or being fired/resigning/quiting

    In 1990, Axl said he wanted the UYIs to be so expansive so that they could spend the "next five years" planning on what to do next.

    In a 1994 interview, he wanted GN'R's next album to come out in 1996.

    It seems after the UYI, he did indeed want to just take a break. But it all came crashing down:

    christ with all that going on no wonder we didnt hear much from him. thats alot going on.

  4. he prop does smoke and drink he is human and we do all smoke or drink from time to time.

    but i did read somewhere that he wasnt addicted to drugs and wouldnt let himself get addicted but of course in the old days he did coke he could tell with half the performaces he was out of his head he was just carefull not o let the drugs win.

    there was somewhere else i read he used to smoke pot and it has something to do with welcome to the jungle and comming to la.

  5. i really dont know what happened aint beeen on for ages but read the post by axl and it was harsh and foul mouthed no need for that but as i said i dont know the ins and outs off it all.

    i have been a menber here for years and never had a problem with Madison but i dont get involved in a lot of fighting.

    has Madison been baned or just stripped of her admin status.

    i woner if axl will lose many fans over that outbusrt thats some temper he has.

  6. yeah they would have put u out on ur ass years ago when i went to c def lepord u were aloud to smoke in there but once that stuip law came in fuck it.

    what is worse is when i went to c velvet revolver in 07 slash comes on stage with a fag not fair.

    that concert was different i took my eldest daughter it put her to sleep she said she was bored to tears :rofl-lol:

    the ladies where fine :rofl-lol: only thing is u cant get a fag that was the let down 3 hours with nae fag.

    One bonus to the gents was nobody ( staff ) was willing to go in so it basically became the smoking shed

    If thats the case if they do come im in the gents having a fag im sure u guys wont mind :tongue2:

  7. thats like miles away from me secc is 5 mins in the car, in honestly i thought the 2006 concert in the secc was great but he sounds much better now.

    i hope he does come but i think he is wainting to c what response he gets from these tours.

    Uh-oh..West coast bias.

    Kidding :xmasssanta:

    Yeh I can understand them wanting to play the likes of Asia first as the fans in general seem to be a lot less fickle over there and just accept the band as it is.

    i dont think they bother the same about who is in the band they just accept them as over here we want reuntions and shit plus i think they have a bigget base of fans there than here.
