I hit the first four, now heading back for the last two.
Damn you, AF. Such a lucky guy. I was only in Vegas for the 3rd show and want desperately to go back for the last ones! I'm jealous of y'all that are checking those out.
Whoa! Talk about a blast from the past, how have you been? Come on back out! Ha, I'm sure you don't need more temptation but I gave into peer pressure to come back out myself. Where were you for the third show, floor? Wouldn't be surprised if I'd had seen you and didn't realize it - ha. Anyway, nice to hear from ya!
I've been good! Doesn't seem like you're doing so bad yourself, huh? I would really love to come out it if such a last minute trip wasn't so damn expensive! At this point, I'd have to drive, and it's more than 24 hours away. Guess I'll just have to live vicariously through you. Make sure to come back and share all the good details.
And I was on the left side barrier on the 3rd. Was near the front of the GA line during the wait beforehand, had my sister with me, and was wearing a leopard print halter-type thing. I'm sure we did see each other. Sorry I missed ya!I hit the first four, now heading back for the last two.

I'm sure we did see each other. Sorry I missed ya!Yeah I had just paid my card off from the last round, booked a flight a week in advance, if I would have booked it the day before I would have saved $150 or so. Oh well, gonna be worth it in the end. And no, I'm doing well, (at least by my standards, living, breathing and rockin n' rolling. Ha I'm simple like that). Ah right on, I was center with Axl - I think I ended up waiting in the balcony line and slipped over down to GA (I had GA tickets, but the balcony didn't have anyone in line). I don't recall what I was wearing, but I think I had a sweatshirt that said CHORDS Hollywood on it and a huge skull on the back. I do think the leopard print seems familiar but, there was a lot of leopard print also. I'll be posting photos to FB and possibly twitter as well throughout the shows.
Nice to hear from ya - btw, were you at the Chicago show last November (I recall you being from Illinois but maybe I am mistaken you with someone else?!) Well, I'm sure our paths will cross at some point, I'll go wherever there is a good concert at if i can get the time off for it...never know where I'll end up. I work in Minnesota, but live where ever I rest my head as my friends tell me.
Have a great holiday dear!

A lot of his Mickey Mouse shirts were purchased at Disneyland.
Kronk Bones by Kid Robot is a great shirt. Elvis mugshot is a common store bought, and I believe the same company makes the Morrison mug shot too. Most of the jackets are custom I do believe. I know the studded leather one is for sure (and it weighs a fucking ton too, for a jacket). There were a couple shirts he wore in 2010 that were from Juicy Couture's Mens line.
DJ's Helvis Presley shirt is from Kill City (Can be found on eBay from time to time). I'll post as I think of more.

There is plans for a re-release. This is all I will say on this matter.

Zepp Tokyo holds 2700 people - looks like Tokyo is getting their very own Up Close And Personal show. Gonna be killer!

Like everybody else, I was mildly surprised/ pleased when they played The Seeker, Catcher and TWAT, but since then it's been the same old shit. They said how they were going to have to make these shows different from each other and they really haven't at all. The setlist is the same with the exception of two songs and yet another cover. If they're not going to write or play new music, they at the very least need to vary the setlist more. Out Ta Get Me, Think About You, IRS, Yesterdays, My Michelle, Oh My God - give the fans SOMETHING that's out of the ordinary.
The shows have been different, songs in different order. There is three master setlists they're choosing from. They don't take any songs out, they just keep adding. Out Ta Get Me was played, Think is on one of them, as is IRS, Oh My God, Nice Boys, Perfect Crime. Setlists are different that #UCAP and the North American tour last season. I don't think Michelle is on any of them this time around, but they played it on #UCAP a few times. Each US ran has been different so far...but some of you are too negative to notice that.
-
Yes. Out Ta Get Me was powerful as can be. Being there for the first live performance of The Seeker was great, none of the youtube videos capture the full feel of being there. Every one near me has loved every second of each show.
Well, two more days and it's back out to Vegas for me. By Saturday I'll have seen half of the residency shows.
And there have been people going way out of the way to see these shows. My friend from Japan went to last weekends, I've met people from Germany, Argentina, Holland, Australia, Canada and who knows where else.

you guys thrive on fucking Drama
Ain't that the truth my man.
-
It's Crocodile I do believe. And yeah, the jacket was a major staple in his UYI stage clothes. Just never with the full tail piece that snaps on by the skulls on the back.
-
It's on all three choices of master setlists. So maybe, maybe not. I'd love to hear it though. Oh My God, Rhiad, IRS, Nice Boys, Perfect Crime, Dead Flowers, If The World and Think About You are on the lists as alternates, and there's a bunch of others too.

Chuck Billy was at the first four shows, Gene Simmon's kid did Ron's makeup on Halloween, Vinnie Paul was hanging around in the casino on Halloween, not sure if he was at the show or not, some Sons of Anarchy dude was there, some models that none of you would know, there's been pretty good company around these gigs.

Bubbles...ha, he's a helluva bartender. One of the coolest people to party with.

Don't Let It Bring You Down was played...
Edit - So was Used To Love Her. Correct setlist;
-
I think Live Era was in the works for a few years prior to the actual release. Spent most of the time tracking down all their DATS and such to use for the album.

Lyrics for GOODBYE;
I'm all alone at 4 am
you stopped me walking by
we had a few laughs on the way
before you pulled me to the side
said you didn't want to,
say goodbye
mornings that would feel so wrong
when waking up in bed alone
were gone when I turned around
I found it in your eyes
and you still hadn't said goodbye
How long
till you're gonna come and say goodbye
How long
till you're gonna come and say goodbye
never thought this day would come
the emptiness is you been gone
and when I made the call
with silence you replied
and there was nothing, no goodbye
how long,
till you're gonna come and say goodbye
how long,
till you're gonna come and say goodbye

Hey - T - fuck you in the nicest way possible

Yes that should be stressed to no extent - Written by Saivu and Fortus literally means that they sat and wrote this. Richard was just over in Norway with Teddy.
Here's some press from places;
-
Should already be up on Amazon and all digital download providers. It is also on Spotify!
-
-
The singer of Saivu. He was a member here years ago, I stayed in touch with him over the years.
-
Richard has been working with Mr. Millmoor for a number of years now. He played on their EP, played a live show with them two summers ago at Midnattsrocken and just recently spent some time in Norway with Teddy. As HV said, Teddy is one of our own here. I still remember the original demos he posted here looking for feedback years ago (and actually still have them in my email from Teddy ha - Richard was surprised I still had 'em too).
Izzy Will be joining GN'R on stage for the last 2 shows
in 2012
