  1. April 2016 issue of Classic Rock has a young Axl on the cover and features an articles on the reunion and the 87 British Tour. Reunion article claims the following from what I can remember

    1. They will play Chinese Democracy and Madagscar

    2. Axl gets 50%, Slash and Izzy get 35% shares

    3. They are grossing $3 million a gig

      LOL, yes it must be a Freudian slip s I have been thinking about Izzy lately......:lol:

      Also Slash and Duff are reported to get 25% each not 35% as this would be more than 100%.....is there anyway to edit a status or do you have to delete and repost?

      I guess you would have to delete it, but what about the hired hands? I guess they would be paid a fix amount per show or something.

      The rest of the band most likely gets a salary...pretty sure this is how Axl paid NuGuns so should not be anything new for the hired help...

  2. Just read Billy Joel added a 35th concert to his Madison Square Garden residency. He already has 34 sold out shows of over 650,000 tickets. I am not a huge Joel fan but that is damn impressive. Don't know any other artist that can sell out that many shows at MSG...........

  3. Nobody won Saturdays power ball the new jackpot is est. to be $1.3 Billion, yes theat is Billion with a B, dollars! the lump sum payment after taxes will be more than $400 Milloin dollars to the lucky winner.

      I know how it works. It is still bullshit. In Europe you win a jackpot of 100million you get 100 million right then and there, tax free.

      yeah I agree it is a little misleading but I don't think the winner will complain about a take home of $450 million.......... :)

      My Canadian ticket would be worth more with exchange!

  4. Nobody won last nights Powerball Lottery so Saturday's jackpot will be a U.S. record for lottery prizes. It is estimated it will be over $700 Million U.S. to the winner(s)

      Crazy... That's almost enough money to run for President.

      Well not really because it actually is an annuity so if you take the cash value in a lump sum payment the actual value is just over $400 million before taxes and somewhere north of $200 Million after taxes depending on where you live but still an insane amount of money

      It's probably enough to hire Axl and Slash to play in your garage!

  5. tried to get my wife Adele tickets on Ticketmaster and they sold out in like 5 minutes. Never had a chance.... God I hate Ticketmaster.....

      Looks promising but unfortunately her tickets the North American shows were still sold by Ticketmaster so the average fan has little chance of getting ticket. She has reached the point of superstar status so her tickets are one of the hottest in music. I almost wish acts like her, Springsteen and some of the other hot acts would go to a lottery system so everyone has an equal shot at tickets. Zeppelin and the Stones did this in the 70's.

      I seen Adele live. Weirdest concert experience ever. I mean she came out and sang one song, and it was good and all but then the show was suddenly over.

    4. Jackamo!

      Jackamo!

      ...because the show is over when the fat lady sings.

  6. New Cult album "Hidden City" coming out February 5, 2016 with a new tour http://us6.campaign-archive1.com/?u=b220ac5bcc&id=a27a1e6e76&e=049d64cdcd

  7. Taking the day off tomorrow for a boys day out. Round of golf followed by dinner at a Brazilian steak house and capped off by seeing Mark Knopfler at the Boston Orpheum Theater. Good start to the weekend.

      my buddies don't play so jamming is not an option. Golf is a great stress reliever as long as you don't take it too seriously. It has been a shitty week in general so I am looking forward to hitting some monster drives tomorrow.

      The Brazilian steakhouse was incredible. All you could eat beef, pork, lamb and chicken with an epic salad bar. If you are ever in Boston and have a meat craving it is highly recommended.

  8. Man reading his tweets is Del bored or what? I want Axl to tour again so Del will have something to do and stop tweeting every dopey thought that pops into his head.

  9. Former NBA player "Chocolate thunder" dead at 58 yrs old..... RIP Darryl Dawkins

  10. This one is for you Len. Billy Duffy play homage to the Pistols and mentions Johnny Thunder in the second video.

  11. Feel so bad, feel like a ballgame on a rainy day

  12. "Pleased to meet you, Hope you guessed my name"

  13. "Is anybody here with any Irish in them? Is there any of the girls who’d like a little more Irish in them?"

      If Paul Stanley was Irish, that would definitely be part of his stage banter

      It was said by an Irish musician
