Oh and for those living elsewhere the time now is 16:02. You should be able to work out when GN'R come on etc from that!

Ok I've tested my twitter account on my mobile and it seems straight forward. I'll update @cc4rhu if someone forwards it onto here.

Cheers

The date is the 23rd. Not the 28th.

Anyone updating?

I'll do it if there are no other takers. I'll update twitter @cc4rhu

Don't know if anyone is planning on driving up the A1 to get to the show but from Washington services up to the Newcastle turn off has seen delays of around 1 hour the last few days. Personally I would take the A194 off from Washington heading towards the Tyne tunnel, left at Whitemere roundabout and along the Felling bypass and over the Tyne Bridge.

Edit - Just thought, could someone let Axl know

Wow, really appreciate the honest help you're trying to give but fuck me...out of the fire into the frying pan springs to mind! Felling by-Pass and the Tyne Bridge at rush hour? Personally speaking, leave 30 minutes earlier and stick it out (A1) but yeah, see what you're saying.

Totally different now that the second tunnel is open

I'd be gutted if I lived in Newcastle knowing that I missed him in such an obvious place

I know I thought the same thing. Do you think that means they're staying at either the Hylton or the Copthorne (or whatever it's called now). If he went that far along the Quayside there's a good chance they popped in the Sage too?

Yeah '92 doesn't time fly. Remember the cup being thrown at Duff who offered the guy out on stage? The guy tried his hardest to get on the stage mind! Please none of this on Wednesday...

I've always wondered why we know so much about the recording of the AFD album but little about the UYI recordings. Pretty much every book describes the exact same things on Appetite. I'd love to read about the recordings of UYI and TSI and and how they fit into the massive world tour.

My mate is a HUGE U2 fan, only likes the GNR hits - Great day, few beers down the Quayside, concert, ....anyway he moaned and moaned and moaned all night about Axl, etc... He was doing my fucking head in and all he said all day was "At least I'll get to finally hear Paradise City" !!

I've been gutted about that for the last six years and now the knowledge that it pissed just one U2 fan off makes it all better! Fuckin' hell Subsy why didn't you tell me this years ago?

....he never asked me to go this year?

Shit major derail - Updates!

I'm going to this too. I live in Gateshead so it's my local. Was a Newcastle 06 and Gateshead 93. Really looking forward to this. Can do updates but don't really want to as I'll be right at the front enjoying the show! No beer for me as I can't stand for that length of time and not need to visit the toilets!

I went to the MEN in 06 and in 2010, and I am going tonight (my home town show), and it may not be a totally different set list to the shows in 06 and 10, but you know what, i dont care. I was never fortunate enough to see the original band, but I love this band and version of Guns N Roses; I love the music of Guns N Roses, both shows in 06 and 10 were amazing, and I am expecting another amazing show tonight.................I can not fucking wait!!!!

Excellent post. I saw the original band in Gateshead 93 and I am just as excited now to see them in Newcastle. (Almost as excited to see new episodes of Dwarf in October Mr Flibble!)

eventim nows has 'tickets have been despatched for 19th, 23rd and 29th. Hopefully my Newcastle tickets will arrive by Wednesday.

Where does Axl mention Slash in his letter?

Does he have to? Or is this WHOLE THING about Slash? hhmmm

My point being that I don't think any of this is about Slash. It's more about protecting his current vision

Where does Axl mention Slash in his letter?

Does anyone know if Slash and DJ 'bumped into each other'?

From classic rock:

Slash is about to start his own series of shows on Radio 2.

There will be six weekly programmes, each lasting an hour. The first one goes out at 10.03pm tomorrow (Thursday, April 12), with the subsequent shows beign broadcast on the next five Thursdays at the same time.The dates are April 19, April 26, May 3, May 10 and May 17.

Slash will be looking at the artists and music that helped to shape his life and career. It will include Led Zeppelin, Rose Tattoo, Deep Purple, Iron Maiden, Queen, Rage Against The Machine, as well as his own records.

Slash’s new album Apocalyptic Love will be released in the UK on May 21 in an exclusive Classic Rock Fan Pack form.

Anyone got their tickets yet for the planet rock pre-sale? I bought 2 for Newcastle and they haven't arrived. Was hoping they'd be here today for my daughter's 16th birthday.

Got 2 standing tix for Newcastle for me and daughter. Cost £108. Her first 'proper' concert after seeing some Girl joke band and a little kid called Justin :-)

What's the odds of tickets being still being available on March 9th for the Newcastle gig?

My exam period begins from May 21st annoyingly, and we don't find out when our exams are till the 9th of March.

Last time there were plenty of tickets available for the arena around that time. Standing were available for about 3 weeks before the show but then sold out. Seats were available on the night.

Definitely going to Newcastle. Saw then in Gateshead 93 and Newcastle 06. Was it really that long ago?

that was an excellent video. much better than the rest of the bs on here recently.
