She's so F****n' Sexy - The Compulsions

Denver and Seattle!!

+ Vegas!

The show was ACE!!! I was at Toronto, Hamilton and London in 2010 - and last night blew the doors off all three of them.

Who the fuck would leave mid concert? (wierd)

Guess some folks don't have the endurance that Axl and the boys have?

GONG

In for Omaha!!!!!!

Tickets in hand for Miami and KC

Joy!!!!!!! ..............no joy?

oh no no no don't funk with my joy

Awesome!

I saw the Austin show - he did a trippy version of Ticket to Ride....seems to still be threading in some Beatles!

He also had a red phone on a stool the whole time. It never rang or was included in the show. I still wonder what that was about (maybe THAT was the point).

Did you capture Mind Riot on video?

What did you think of William Elliott Whitmore (assuming he's still the opener)?

Back from my Austin, TX adventure. Chris Cornell’s show was fantastic and well worth the trip. Was also introduced to the music of William Elliott Whitmore, who opened the show. If you’ve never heard of him (as was the case for me) check him out. My mascara was a complete loss by the time his part of the show was over. Powerful lyrics - passionately delivered.

Also saw John Mellencamp's show at Austin City Limits!

Tonight!

I frequently wonder how much music Axl has out there (meaning accessible to us somehow) - written under a pen name

There were more than 60 shows in 2010, right?

If the secret and surprise shows are factored in (very small venues) this would effect the "average" column stats....the ranking, based on Gross Millions works back to Average Ticket Price * Total Tickets.

Looks like GNR's Average Ticket price given here (in $USD) fell right in the middle of the pack.

Sydney photos are uploading to here -

They're not all up yet, but there's only about 30 worth uploading. Should all be up within the next hour. Not as good as the Adelaide ones.

Thanks a bunch, highvoltage!!!!!

And for everyone else who posted about their experience - much appreciated!!

Quick question.......were there "shooter girls" at any of the shows during this leg?

For me that would be June 6, 1985

^ I give you the award for specificity - awesome, do tell!

For me, it was 1988. I cannot recall if it was MTV or radio where I first heard Sweet Child of Mine, but the year I'm sure of. It was the year/summer my aunt and cousin were killed in a tornado. The lyric "her hair reminds me of a warm safe place where I as a child would hide - and pray for the thunder and the rain to quietly pass me by" resonated strongly. I managed to get an Appetite for Destruction tape and was hooked.

Those events could possibly be why I keep my hair long and have an irrational fear of space junk.....but it is DEFINITELY when I first became a fan.

.....and this ends my self psycho evaluation of the day

innocous1 has requested to be added to the tree!

I wish her a merry christmas :xmasssanta:

:xmasssanta:

So this is kind of amazing...

I fuckin cried.

I want to hear Atlas Shrug.

I'll venture to guess that we have.....only it's called "Scraped"

It sounds nothing like the Glam Rock vs November Rain description Spin gave it many a year ago.

The lyrics are the point of reference for my observation

Wrong. Fail. Error. Mistake.

....perhaps. On second thought, "Sorry" fits quite well also

On topic - I like Star Wars and ITW 2012's topics can be pretty cool too :xmassrudolph:

YES I AM!!!!!!!

I want to hear Atlas Shrug.

I'll venture to guess that we have.....only it's called "Scraped"

Not True, Nobody gets banned for nothing,since the new moderation team took over, Would appreciate it greatly if

whomever would stop bumping his old topics,they are out of date and therefore irrelevant,go post them at your farce of a forum,people come here to get news and outdated posts by a banned member don't meet the criteria for GNR news.

For the record, I cannot be bothered with the drama you refer to.....rather, my post was to share with folks that I noticed Bumblefoot is credited with the theme song for "That Metal Show" (Eddie Trunk's show).

So, you don't like where I posted it? Oops...

Was watching "That Metal Show" and (finally) noticed that Bumblefoot is credited as writer of the theme song!

I caught the Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers show - it was fantastic!

Hello Peoples!

Lots of news coming your way from Moscow!

First off, I just thought I’d let you all know that the current European tour is going very well. I want to thank all of you people out there for coming to the shows — they have been a lot of fun.

Ask Tommy

This coming Friday at 12:00p PST brings the debut of “Ask Tommy,” a live video broadcast on uStream where I’ll answer your questions about whatever. If you miss it, don’t worry, it will be archived. It’s been a long time since i’ve done one of these and it should be good for some laughs. I probably won’t be able to get to all of your questions this time around, but you should still try. If you want to submit questions, there are two ways:

TWITTER – Click here to ask via Twitter by including Tommy’s Twitter name (@tommy_stinson) and the hash tag (#AskTommy)

Timkatec Fundraiser

http://www.timkatec.org/

I also want to let you know my fundraiser for Haiti relief has picked up a lot of steam and and I’m getting super excited about getting started with it. It’s a great cause, and as I have said previously, they need our help now and will need our help and support for a long time to come. The organization I will be working with is called Timkatec. Please check out their website and see all the great work they have been doing down there for over 10 years. I’ll have lots more info about this for you in the coming weeks.

Also coming this very soon is the debut of the Tommy Stinson Store! I will have new t-shirts and buttons for you to scoop up, and we’ll be stocking up the store with more goodies as time goes on.

Thats all for now. Now it’s off to see the sights here in Moscow.

Love,
