Didn't Axl himself say on Twitter when they started the Asia tour. "This is the first tour that we don't have to deal with the record company. Maybe I read too much into it. I'd believe Jarmo over Metalsludge though. If Interscope/Geffen have dropped GNR. They're crazy. Remember, Axl himself said he has CD2 ready to go and also wants to re-release AFD with the new band as well. Don't count out Guns N' Roses yet!!!

The GA line-up at the ACC is insane. Gates open I think at 6pm or earlier. You best line-up by 12:00pm I'd say, if you wanna be first to the stage. I'd join ya, but I'm in the seats. I prefer that. No one sits anyways LOL.

We'll also have a mygnrforum printed logo taped to the wall.

The pre-show party in London was a sucess! Met many fun Forum members from all over! Let's make this the biggest, most talked about party of the tour!!! Come party MyGNR style!!!

Food:

Food is served at this pub. Check the menu here.

Note:

There will also be other GNR fans from HTGTH and you can find out who by clicking here. Just as with the other concerts, it's simpler and better to have both forms pre-concert GT at the same place. This way more hardcore GNR fans get to meet.

See you there and have a great concert everyone!

I don't see this listed anywhere so I'll go ahead and post it. Here Today Gone To Hell.com is hosting a kickass pre-party at the Loose Moose from 4:00pm-7:00pm.

*** I just got off the phone and can now confirm!!! If you arrive in Toronto early... HTZ FM (www.htzfm.com) will be LIVE at The Loose Moose. They will be doing a "Live 2 Air" show from 3pm-7pm. There will be prize giveaways and ticket giveaways from the radio station as well. Even though it is live 2 air, they assured me that there will be lots of GNR tunes melted into the playlist. Why? Cuz HTZ isn't your average rock station!!! ***

The link for details is here...

Jarmo himself will be in attendance. You don't wanna miss this party. This is now the official thread to discuss the party. If you're going. Make yourself heard.

I can't help but ask why Toronto is supposedly the best show of 2010?

Axl adores Toronto.

And rightfully so.

Yup. He also likes to record here. Metalworks Recording studio is down the street from me. Toronto is gonna be fun. Can't wait.

Cool. I was hoping you would say that Gunner55

Anyone wanna guess at a timeline of events at the Toronto show? It starts at 8pm. I assume Danko Jones will play 20-30 minutes. Bach atleast 45 mins. Now we're looking at 9:15 roughly for set change. I wouldn't expect Axl to hit the stage before 10:30pm. In 2002 they were well over an hour late as well. I didn't go to the 2006 show so if anyone can fill me in. It's appreciated.

I can speak for Toronto fans. When ya live here, there is no rush to get tickets unless it's the lame ass Leafs. It's actually harder to get seats at ACC then it is floors. f that makes sense. Fans will show up at the ACC on the 28th and I'm sure scalpers will be going crazy. Regardless, if Axl shows up, who cares. It'll be a killer show. Axl loves Toronto.

I got 3 Golds for Toronto. Pretty fucking nice view from there. Fucking rights it's gonna' rock. This will be my third fucking NEW GNR show I've seen in Toronto. Each time it's better than the last. Fuck yeah. Big party at The Loose Moose before the show. Even Jarmo's supposed to be there. Can't fucking wait man.

You're kidding. Jarmo is gonna be in the T Dot? Pretty fuckin' cool. Maybe Axl will be there. I know he was at the Blues club the night before the 2001 show.

No, I'm not kidding dude. A shit-load of us, myself and jarmo included, are having a pre-show party at this joint. It's gonna' be cool! I doubt Axl will be there though but, it would be fucking killer insane if he did show up for at least one fucking beer!!! Maybe fucking jarmo could talk Axl into it!?!

I can't fucking wait!!! :devil:

That's what I was thinking. If Jarmo is there we gotta chance. I guess I'm gonna show up what time you guys startin' the pre-show party and how far is it from the ACC. I will be downtown around 1-2pm so I got time to kill and what better way then to hang with some true fans.

I get pumped even when they are not playing in my area, just the fact tat they are out on the road kicking ass is enough for me to get excited just so happens however this time its in my country! OH CANADA!!!!

Agreed. I love knowing they're alive and well. I remember back at Rio (The re-birth of GNR) they showed the concert on TMN here in Canada. That was pretty cool. I also remember they streamed Rock in Lisbon on AOL. That was cool too. I had the technology by then to hook up my laptop to my big screen. I love this band and will do close to anything if it means supporting them.

Despite having a blast at the ACC on November 29, 2002 (I'll always remember that date), I seriously had no desire to attend the 2006 show and still maintain an indifference to Axl's arrival in a few days. I don't have tickets, didn't even know when tickets started selling, and most likely won't be attending unless someone goes through the pain and labour of dragging my ass there, which is highly unlikely given the crowd I generally roll with. I wish I actually knew hardcore Gunners who could hype me up for shit like this, but sadly no.

That 2001 or 2002 show was sick. I remember chatting up some hot asian chick wearing a schoolgirl uniform. I wrote a review on the concert and mentioned her in it. She emailed me the next day saying it was her. I didn't believe her, she sent a rather risque pic and a link and password to her porn site. those were the days.

In Everett in 06 cameras weren't allowed, they searched people at the door. Then when I got in the venue, I pulled the camera out of my pants and was taking pictures of Bach, a security guy came up to me after his set and before GnR and told me it's not the venue's policy it's Axl's, so don't let Axl catch me taking his picture. He also pointed out the head security guy that I would have to watch out for. That guy was pretty cool. I actually have a picture of Axl glaring at me while I take his picture.

OK. So I'll leave my camera at home. I don't wanna uin Axl's great mood. Or become a statistic at a GNR concert lol

Thanx guys

It doesn't say anything on my Toronto ticket stub.

Yea. Mine either but I wanna make sure.

Does anyone know if GNR is allowing still cameras to the Canadian leg this time? I heard Axl was cool with them on the Asia tour!!!

Thanks for the info! I'll be coming in around noon, and staying at the Radison, about 5 blocks away from Air Canada Centre.

Noon should be no problem - just check out transportation options at the airport.

I also found this: http://www.torontoairportexpress.com/

You could probably Google for some other options but the round-trip deal at first glance seems decent.

If I remember correctly, there's a TTC (Toronto Transit) bus that stops at Pearson. All you need to do is take the bus to one of the subway stations. Most likely, Islington or Yorkdale. Once there take the subway to Union Station... There's actually an entrance to ACC from Union but if you're heading to the Radison, you may want to ask which stop would be best for ya.

I think that underground lot you're referring to by the ACC is now $12 but still worth it. That's Canadian currency by the way.

109 Row 12 + "pocket floors".

I AM PUMPED - and cannot recall, in over 10 years, being THIS EXCITED about anything.....thank you Axl and GNR for helping to keep me young!

I got my Toronto ticket as a Christmas present from my Mom, care of my wife. I'm 32 so to say I was surprised is a great understatement. It is gonna fuckin' rock. I am so stoked for this show. Seeing how great a mood Axl has been in. This tour will be insane. My 8 year old son wanted to come but couldn't so I hope to see a nice boot for this gig. 23 days or so to go!!!

Exactly

Yo. ashbalove. You really gotta recognize what this forum is all about. It has nothing to do with Pro Shot, Raulxl boots etc. Guns N' Roses fans and some of the most loyal in the world. These vids are a bonus but not the sole reason we "come together" to celebrate the revival of a great band, and a greater front man. Ask yourself this... Would you rather have no videos or partial concert clips? Cuz if your answer is part A. You aren't a fan. I think the rest of the true fans will agree. Just because I don't post much, doesn't mean I'm not a fan. I have loved this band from day 1 when I bought AFD on release day, when no one wanted it because of the cover art. I have been to over 15 shows. I support this band 100% through thick and thin. That is a true fan. Deep down, I'm sure you are a true fan, with clouded illusions of what your entitled to. Bootlegs are a gift not a requirement. When Jarmo and others fly to Asia to send the rest of us updates when they don't have to. If you want "Pro-Shot" footage... Buy a ticket and sit front row and videotape Axl. I'm willing to bet he'd knock ya flat. Then you'd stop bitchin'. Don't think for one second I'm comin' down on ya. You are a fan, just need to realign your faith in the world's greatest band.

This has to be run by the record company, Axl has never been this happy in his life lol.

According to Axl himself. This tour is "management free." As long as Axl keeps havin' fun and smilin'. That's all we Axl fans care about.

I'll try to find some more vids. Thx for the props. Can't wait for the Tokyo shows. Distorted audio or not. Axl is at his best. Not his fault at all. The fans are lucky to have GNR play a show like that.

its common sense.

OK. I don't post much. Had to get my hands on some vid footage from Osaka. I found this. It's Scraped live!!!
