Just say this in ultimateclassicrock.com:
The story is neutral, but the pictures show a butt hurt Slash and a stupid looking Duff. God I hate the media.

Holmdel denied. :-/. I'll be at AC or Newark.
-
Oh, and count me in for Holmdel if they announce the PNC, I'm practically a lawn cupcake at that place. I'm down to meet up and hang.

Also, in case anyone is interested, Newark has a decent metal scene. There are 2 popular bars / clubs that I know of, QXT's and Hell's Kitchen. I haven't been out that way in years, but I think the scene is mostly death metal now-a-days.

I was literally a shit hole.
Well that seems like you're being unnecessarily hard on yourself
. But nah, I'm glad there could be more of an elaboration on the current area. Thats QUITE a story about 20 years ago though 
!Lol, thanks for the kind words, maybe I'm not a shit hole after all.
Maybe 30 years ago, the 80'a were rock bottom for Newark. The redevelopment really started in the 90's.

Prudential Center is a nice building, I just don't like the $40 parking. I know there's cheaper parking further away from the arena but ain't no f'n way I'm walking down a dark street in Newark at 11PM.
I'm also worried that being the Prudential Center, the ticket prices would be a bit more expensive than the amphitheater shows. And besides, this bill really seems like a summer party show, you won't really get that at PruCent.

Honestly, don't feel scared at all. Its a heavily populated area, and most likely you'll be walking with a group of others from the concert. And there are cops all around. Stay on the main street there and you should be fine. Despite what I said before, the perception of Newark is blown way out of proportion, especially in the area the Prudential center is in.
Mostly true. I was however in Newark late at night a few weeks ago after coming back from NYC. There had been a Devils game in Newark that night, but the town was actually very desolate - didn't see any police officers. This was around 12:15, plenty of people in Devil's Jersey's still at the bars near Prudential, but not really any activity other than that. Was walking with Henry and Jake, and we were accosted by a fine gentleman asking for change (Henry got freaked out and literally jerked about 270 degrees and a meter from where he was previously standing, out of natural fear, thus confirming his racism). But anyway, yeah Newark is normally fine.
Fair enough. I've never had a problem and I've found if you keep to the well lit streets near the train station you should be fine and not bothered. Its really like any other city and I just meant you won't randomly be assaulted by a guy with a gun like most people seem to think Also, if you specifically leave with the rest of the concert I think its a lot different and wouldn't be as desolate than being in the city on the night when there was a game that had ended hours before. But overall I understand what you're saying and my basic point was if people really want to go to the show I wouldn't be afraid of Newark.
No need to really discuss it any more though. Might as well wait for the rest of the dates this afternoon and hammer things out then! Also, I do agree Jones Beach is a great venue and I love going there. But I understand where Omar is coming from in that PNC is much more relaxed with the lawn atmosphere, and if Omar is like me which I think he may be, PNC is SO much closer in proximity to where I live that Jones Beach is just a major hassle to get to. But I've done the Beach several times and enjoyed the venue a lot.
I actually grew up in Newark, and I agree with Gunsfan, that area isn't really that bad. It's desolate at night because it's the financial center, the Prudencial, Met Life, and DTI buildings are there. It's not residential, so unless there's a show, there's no one around at night. There is actually a very vibrant nightlife in Newark, but it's a quarter mile from the Rock. The Ironbound section has a ton it trendy bars and resteraunts, and are packed with hotties every weekend.
The area's bad rep was well deserved 20 years ago. I was literally a shit hole. I could tell you a ton of stories about it, but I'll limit myself to this one. The area was so bad that it was littered with hookers, every one of them had aids, and it got so bad that the city actually put up signs warning folks that the prostitutes had the disease.
The area has come a long way since than. So much so that, as Gunsfan said, you can walk there at night and be OK. Just stick to the main roads and don't stray too far. It can still get pretty hairy if you go a quarter mile in the wrong direction.

Is Duff only on this 1 track?

Maybe. Or maybe he's just pissed at Slash's double talkin' jive.

Paul Stanley says he had to teach Slash a pretty harsh lesson in rock and roll diplomacy back at the start of the Guns N Roses guitarists meteoric rise to fame.
In a story from his first-ever autobiography, Face the Music: A Life Exposed, the Kiss frontman recalls the time he was asked to meet with Guns N Roses, who were about to start work on their Appetite for Destruction album. He wasnt all that impressed on first sight, describing guitarist Izzy Stradlin as unconscious, with drool coming out of the side of his mouth, and Slash as half-comatose.
Stanley says he showed Slash how to tune his guitar in the five-string open-G method preferred by Keith Richards, and offered to put him in touch with people who could get him free guitars. Paul then went to go see Guns N Roses play two small L.A. club shows, which he describes as stupendous.
The second of those nights is apparently where trouble began between the two guitar heroes. They werent happy with the guy mixing their sound, Stanley recalls, And Slash asked me out of the blue to help out. Decades later, Slashs recollections of the night would be faulty at best. He liked to pretend I had dared to meddle with their sound.
Things only got worse when Slash allegedly began dragging Stanleys name through the mud. Immediately after my interactions with the band, I started to hear lots of stories Slash was saying behind my back he called me gay, made fun of my clothes, all sorts of things designed to give him some sort of rock credibility at my expense. This was years before his top hat, sunglasses and dangling cigarette became a cartoon costume that he would continue to milk with the best of us for decades.
As his version of the story goes, Stanley got the final word in a few months later when Slash called up to see about those free guitars. You want me to help you get guitars after you went around saying all that s about me behind my back? He responded. You know, one thing youre going to have to learn is not to air your dirty laundry in public. Nice knowing you. Go f yourself.

Yes. I'm sure if Tommy or Fortus were to leave, Duff and Izzy would get a call. Axl still dislikes Adler and especially dislikes slash though, so I doubt they'll ever return. Not to mention, I don't see axl firing the other guys to let them back in.
This.

Picked up the new Dream Theater album today, came with a FLAC download. \m/

You aren't "willing to bite" your math was shit, no one is tricking you into biting at anything.
No trickery.

I walk by the bull on Wall Street every morning on my way to work. Normally I walk in front of it, but today I walked behind it and I noticed it's balls. (no homo)
I knew it had balls. I often see tourists taking their picture next to it, and sometime I see them taking pictures of themselves touching the balls.
What struck me about them today was how shiny they were. The rest of the bull is tarnished, but these things are perfectly polished. How many folks are rubbing this things balls? Lol.

Says channel SKY LIVE could be in charge of transmitting tomorrow's concert.
-
This one says, GNR live - SKY LIVE. Seems to suggest it'll be broadcast by SKY LIVE, but it still isn't very clear. It's also a shared post by another user "rock star", so who knows it they didn't get the wrong idea from Sky Live's post.
-
For anyone that might do this, you might want to call your credit card company first so they don't think it's fraud on your account, and ask them about the fees they charge for the currency exchange.
-
My Spanish isn't the best but I can give it a shot when I get home tonight. It won't be for a few hours so if someone can't beat me to it, much appreciated.
-
The title of this thread suggests it will be broadcast, but the sky live website, nor that Facebook announcement confirm that.
-
That's $22 American. Idk for sure. It says some shows will be.

Looks like you have to pay though. R$49.9 a month.
-
Lol, no. And it might not be sky.com. Wtf is SKY Live?
-
Looks like the Friday concert is going to be broadcast on sky.com.

I just discovered them last night. The cover caught my eye on iTunes, but the description is what made me give it a listen.
Not a bad rock album, though I didn't care much for the slow acoustic tracks, not at first listen at least.
. But nah, I'm glad there could be more of an elaboration on the current area. Thats QUITE a story about 20 years ago though

Slash comments on Duff temporarily rejoining GNR
in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS

Head down, brooding. Yep. That looks like a man who's butt hurts. Kidding. But seriously though, looking down like he's brooding and the picture is a little dark, it's meant to give you the feeling he's bothered by something. Duff's goofy look is supposed to look like someone who's been caught doing something wrong.
Anyway. I wasn't trying to imply that Slash is in fact butthurt, I'm saying that ultimate classic rock is implying it with the pictures it's using, and I think it's BS.
