T Patten Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Last time this happened to me was with blur just before xmas where they let fanclub members in on a secret london show, but they cancelled right at the last minute, so i hope this is true as i'm not going to download, if it is true, i'm there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dally Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Sorry but, i can`t belive it... every time i hear this " my friend knows a whore that used to blow a guy at the parking slot, that has heard a man bla bla bla" stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-GenerationX Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Finally things are warming up.... exciting stuff It's just a rumour. We have yet to hear something official from the so called "GNR Management"... Yeah, well good luck with that.I think this is all good news, at least the right sounding news. Talk of them actually rehearsing and doing warm-up gigs does at least imply Axl is taking this seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rattlesnake Suitcase Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 id bet money on this happening Me too, it's a common occurence for big bands to play small secret/warm-up gigs in London. The Astoria and Brixton Academy are usually the venues used for this. The new Guns may not even be able to sell out arenas like the original band did, it all depends on record sales and fan interest. Notice that they are playing A LOT of multi-band festivals in Europe to test the waters first. Personally i think they'd be better in smaller venues as the current line-up (whoever it is this month) is unproven and haven't even had the chance to learn their trade before stepping on to the BIG STAGE!

ChineseDemocracy Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 If they don't go on general sale, where/how do you think we'd get tickets?Bork_axlEither a radio station will give them out in a prize package, or if the venue is a local 'hotspot' they will admit anyone that comes in off the street.

M_Riot Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Thought I would come on and say hello, as it's been a while since I posted (I'm martin btw).Answers to some of the questions:Dates - it isn't being booked as a warm-up show, just a small venue show which is 'secret' - but obv never secret. That should be clue enough.How do I know? - I haven't said that I know 100% that it is happening. My sources (all pretty reliable) are 90% sure and know that the venue have been contacted and 3 dates discussed (now cut down to 2 dates being discussed).Tickets? - From what I gather it will be competition winners & invited media/guests. However, it would be advisable to sign up to every single online ticket agents mailing list as there is a chance that there will be some sold online.Venue? - There is only one being discussed. I cannot say cause they will obv then receive loads of telephone calls etc and it will cause chaos.Obv this is as much as I can say and I am no way guaranteeing that the gig is happening or saying that I am some sort of authority on the matter. I just have very reliable sources and have rarely been wrong about anything. I remember telling people on the VR forum that Buckethead was leaving GNR about two weeks before it happened and being shot down by everyone. I'm not in it for a popularity contest! I had some info so I thought I'd share it with fellow GNR fans and that is all. If I get any more news I will of course update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again this cupcake who it seems only got into the band in 2002 (LOL) disses one of the original band members yet calls himself a G'n'R fan!Slash had every right to attend the gig as a member of the public. Obviously Axl was very insecure/paranoid about the new line-up otherwise he wouldn't have instructed his goons to keep Mr Hudson out. He knows and we know that they can never live up to the seminal 5, especially when the set list is primarily stuff that Slash co-wrote and played on. rock1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
