RussTCB Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Listening now. I forgot you'd asked Fallon about introducing them. I'd love to meet Fallon someday and talk music. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAR41 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Can't wait to listen to this one. Such a memorable moment in GNR history whether you liked the performance or not. I'll never forget it. One of my friends was actually AT the VMAs as her brother had somehow gotten tickets to it. I am still jealous of her for that. 2 hours ago, RussTCB said: Listening now.

A girl I used to work with was into the NYC punk scene and she said she'd regularly see Fallon at shows years ago before he sobered up. Apparently he liked to hit the sauce hard. He'd show up by himself and say hello to anyone who wanted to speak with him. He might still drink for all I know, but at the very least he's eased up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah my understanding is the fall in his kitchen that almost took his ring finger off was sauce-related and kicked him closer to normalcy.

RussTCB Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I've heard those things about Fallon. I always thought he'd fit right in at my Friday night record spinning sessions, but maybe not if he's sober now 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate his appreciation (a weird thing to say, btw) for GnR but I can't stand him in general. Those fake laughs are some of the worst sounds I've ever heard on live tv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAR41 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Incredible episode @Gambit83. Some great insight from an industry veteran. It seems like the GNR 2002 appearance wasn't nearly the most stressful act she's ever dealt with. Very cool stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
