Then I've mentioned my friend before who joined Nightrain to get tickets for the first London show. I told her there's no rush, they're going to announce a 2nd date (which they did the next day) and there's no advantage to joining Nightrain anyway as far as tickets go but she did it anyway. However for the SMKC London show she didn't rush like she should've and it ended up selling out. So stupid...

Hope your friend doesn’t read this forum, poor girl, who needs enemies eh 

My sister works in ICU at Royal Derby hospital and they’re getting swamped again with covid cases.

I work in care and I’ve been asked to cancel all of my leave until at least after Christmas as we are expecting things to get bad again - I hope the second wave doesn’t end up being as bad as they seem to be anticipating.

Fires in California again, I hope Axl and his animals are ok.

This is really terrible of me but now whenever I see the fires mentioned in relation to Axl I think of a comment I saw on Facebook when he and Nikki Sixx were complaining about the way the government were handling things. 

It said - “Nikki is only crying because the wig shop burnt down and Axl is mad because the Botox clinic is gone”

Further on this, she was told today that ''if you don't get one in around six days, you're probably not getting one''! So my nephew may/may not have (nobody is any the wiser) picked up kung flu in school, the school being none the wiser, and nobody knows anything basically.

This is suppose to be Britain's war against corona, ''test and trace'', governmental promises, ''200,000 plus tests per day'' etc etc. From the experiences of one family in one obscure town, it is an utter shambles!

I get a Covid test every Thursday morning at work but we haven’t had any results back for the last three weeks now.

It’s a shambles all over the UK it would seem and a huge waste of testing kits.

Absolutely sickening. What kind of person must you be to be able to shoot a child having a mental breakdown? 

I love that they included Axl’s cover of It’s Alright on Live Era, I’d buy it again just for that and the version of You’re Crazy on it. 

Not so keen on what they did to Move to the City with that drawn out instrumental part in the middle of it, so boring - the rest of the album was great.

I don't know where I read it, I wish I had your memory for quote locations 😄Edit... possibly from the terrible Mick Wall WAR book.

 

I’ve also read that about him blasting Ride the Lightning from his BMW, it was in Mick Walls first book WAR. 

Doug would surely remember this guy if he was around as much as he reckons to have been. 

I’m sure he said that before it was confirmed Brian was back in the band and working on their new album. 

Either plans changed or it was just bullshit in the first place. 

I watched some of the stream. Lzzy Hale was fantastic - she played a cover of Come Together with Slash and Matt and it sounded really good. 🤘

When all else fails, turn to Slaxl!

Ok, to change the subject somewhat. Your thoughts on the up coming children's book "Sweet Child O' Mine"? I don't lurk on other threads so apologies if this has been discussed to death already.

My first reaction : WTF??! Cash grab or what? I suppose it also depends on the treatment, perhaps it will be a marvellous kids book?

Cash grab and Fernando overstepping the line again with how much he and his family think they’re actually part of the band - seriously though, a band like GnR releasing a kids book 

You would’ve thought it would be like this

I loved Golden Eye. I spent so many hours playing the man with the golden gun against my stepbrother. My favourite gaming memory comes from this when he had hardly any health left but he found the golden gun , so he came after me (laughing) - I had no gun, so I hid behind a door and waited for him, he burst through and I slapped him and he died and I got the golden gun. Classic! 

Robert Johns wife has threatened a fan account on instagram with legal action for sharing GnR footage he took

Went to see Jurassic Park at the cinema with my son - he thought it was amazing. When things get back to normal I hope the cinemas keep playing old movies on a regular basis.

Being a GNR fan, Lars would release the shit out of it!

And Hetfield would do it because it would piss off Axl!

I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels that way. It sometimes feels like everyone just accepts being fucked so happily. The sad thing is, with their stranglehold on the industry, it means not going to a lot of concerts of course.....

At one point it was the scalpers who were the real scum of the live music world but now I think Ticketmaster have gone even below them in estimations. They are now the scalpers as well though 

I managed to see a few bands last year buying tickets from the venue but you’re right, a lot of the bands I like are so in with them it’s impossible. Sad times. 

I just cannot believe they aren’t straight up giving people their money back. Who the hell wants a voucher?!

I feel you totally. It's all so completely unacceptable. I go to loads of concerts normally (as I imagine do you) and all this bullshit is really making me wonder how I can ever give Ticketmaster any money again. And if that means not going to a concert....I'm starting to think 'so what'? 

That’s how I feel. I didn’t buy any tickets for any concerts this year because I can’t stomach Ticketmaster/Live Nation and their bullshit any more. It is so sad most of the bands out there are in with them and don’t seem to mind the way they rip off their fans left right and centre. 

I won’t be going to any concerts through them ever again. 

Its not as if they are dealing with tickets that cost £40 or £50 either - people have a lot of money tied up in these shows and they’re treated like total shit.

Yeah right Niven 

So the Glasgow date is at a different venue now?
