  1. Just saw Super 8...entertaining, but I kind of felt like it was trying to be too many different types of movies.

    Also, it's not believable why the main guy would hate Ron Eldard, once you figure out why he does. They should have gone with the obvious.

  2. There were recording devices at the show.. they flanked the stage, so there was a planned video shoot. However, thew show was very glitchy. Quite a few stops and starts. Had to skip a song that they planned on playing, perhaps the blues (I won't call it Street of Dreams...noone did back then), after they brought out a piano due to tech problems.

  3. Yargh......to clear up confusion

    1. Hard rock cafe in vagas, 00/01=first show. It was at Mandalay bay, in which the HRC resides. I was at this show, and many of the pics here are NOT from that show. The nostalgia of the show would make a dvd worth it....musically, it was ok, but it was just a warm up

    2. I think the joint is also a Vegas HRC. That's where they played at the end of 2001. I did not go to this show, so I'm not sure if pics are from there.

  4. I most remember sitting outside the show for hours, andx the hotel peeps wanting us to stand the whole time. Also, this girl and her boyfriend kept trying to gt in front of me, but it wasn't happening.

    Btw, hard rock is in mandalay bay, for whomever was confused.

    Lol @ it didn't happen. It's the first show the new band did. Supposed to start at 1 am, but man it was late. I almost missed my plane to ak the next morning. So much fun though.

  5. Weird that the forum won't be around, but I can see Eric's point. I would bet it's more disappointment with the direction of the site and its relationship with the band's administration than money. NEway, thx for keeping me updated

  6. So, am I wrong, or is the issue with N. Ireland different from that of Scotland and Wales due to historical ties to the crown? Both Scotland and Wales have seen their fair share of people from their kingdoms get crowned as King of the UK, from modern times all the way back to the Stuarts. However, unless I'm mistaken, Ireland has never been represented in the British royal family. I know this is nearly a moot point, as the King/Queen has no real power, but it has to be a problem in creating buy-in from the Irish people. Basically, Ireland was on their way to home rule before WWI, then they put their differences with the British kingdoms aside in a patriotic stance vs. Germany. The issue of home rule never got serious attention afterward. It's like the movement got put on pause and never got officially revisited.

  7. How is a society whereby the rich lives at the expense of the poor legitimate? How is collectivism (Europe), to an extent in which individual sovereign economies crash, justified (e.g. Ireland)? How can 24/7 surveillance (through all aspects of living) be okay? How can governments fund regimes which they demonize (e.g. Britain and Libya)? How can our “leaders” be dictated to by big business and bankers? How can imperialism be overlooked in an age of “social democracy” (e.g. Britain's continued occupation of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland)? How can Treaties legitimately be put to the people having already been rejected (e.g. Lisbon)?

    Certainly increasing Chinese influence in Western society would be unpleasant, but let's be under no illusions here, we too as a people are oppressed (only in a more subtle manner).

    Many valid points... but Scotland and Wales are independent countries - they aren't occupied by Britain, they have their own governments and can Vito any decisions made by Britain that affect the UK.

    Scotland, Wales, Northern Island and England are all part of the United Kingdoms. Britain is the island upon which Scotland, Wales, and England sit.

  8. Holy shit, this is more than close! Whoever says this guy doesn't exactly sound like Axl to the casual fan got some issues with the guy himself!

    I suspect he might just have taken Axl's vocals and dubbed them over his images.

    Not that close. Vocal quality is close, but he can't hit the high parts, and his pronounciation and enunciation are both off. Way the heck better than I can do it as far as his tone, though.
