Title: Re: London September 2nd Post by: jarmo on September 02, 2004, 08:24:36 PM Just got back from seeing VR at the Hammersmith Apollo.
Good show, biggest surprise was the fact that Mr Brownstone wasn't played. Negative Creep was the last song, good for me since they did Bodies in Stockholm. : ok: Slash played some Led Zeppelin as an intro (for a friend who was in attendance according to him). Saw Brian May as I was walking out. Oh, and Ian from Nightrain fanzine and his friends (=my British fan club ;) ). /jarmo Title: Re: London September 2nd Post by: Mr Cowbell ? on September 02, 2004, 11:54:28 PM Just got back from seeing VR at the Hammersmith Apollo. Lucky you for getting to see May, did Brian look happy as if he enjoyed the show?Good show, biggest surprise was the fact that Mr Brownstone wasn't played.

they hardly ever play that...anyway its good that they have stopped playing some GnR tracks. Very good show...loved every second of it... THEY PLAYED SPECTACLE WOOOO! Title: Re: London September 2nd Post by: jarmo on September 03, 2004, 05:20:52 AM They may not have played Mr. Brownstone Jarmo, but they did play Spectacle which is a HUGE suprise... Well, that's true. I guess I've gotten used to the idea from reading reviews, that at a certain point in the show they do Brownstone. :-[ Brian May was sitting at the back of the venue and on my way out people were shouting Brian! Brian!, so he waved at us...... /jarmo Title: Re: London September 2nd Post by: anythinggoes on September 03, 2004, 06:00:15 AM im off today get my album signed at Virgin in Piccadilly Circus cant wait
Title: Re: London September 2nd Post by: BD888 on September 03, 2004, 06:34:57 AM I saw Brian May on my way out too! I also saw a white Limo pull up next to some fans over past Bar 38 about 20 mins after the concert , and the fans started taking pics of the people in the Limo with one of the windows down, then the door opened and they all got in the limo. I don't know who was in the Limo, but that would have been cool if those fans got to meet the band. Anyhow I was looking for my girlfriend who was lost, so I didn't see what happened next. Cool concert though, I am bruised from some of the nutters at the front hehe. Crowd went most nuts for It's So Easy it seemed, but Slither and Fall to pieces were really cool too. Man, VR are such a REAL rock n fuckin roll band! Still Buzzin now from the show!
Title: Re: London September 2nd Post by: AdZ on September 03, 2004, 02:48:16 PM Great show!
Knackered now though, I was in front of Slash the whole time, about 4 rows back. Easy was the best song of the night, it sounded amazing. The Tie Your Mother Down intro pissed me off though, i wanted to hear the whole thing! Title: Re: London September 2nd Post by: Axl Z on September 03, 2004, 03:56:50 PM i heard that brian may was there from this geezer on the underground after the show, he also said jimmy page was there but i aint heard no-one else saying this so i dont know if its true or not!?!...
i was right at the front man with a load of mates and we kept making slash laugh whenever he came over our side (left-front) duff cracked a couple of smiles at us too. i think it was all the "WE'RE NOT WORTHY" chants we were letting off. ha ha!!

Title: Re: London September 2nd Post by: Izzy on September 03, 2004, 04:22:02 PM Just got back from seeing VR at the Hammersmith Apollo. U went all the way across Europe to see VR? Wow.... Title: Re: London September 2nd Post by: Christos AG on September 03, 2004, 04:26:38 PM Just got back from seeing VR at the Hammersmith Apollo. U went all the way across Europe to see VR? Wow.... It's only 100 euros from Sweden to London (the plane). Why shouldn't he go? I paid 10 times that money to see GN'R back in 2002. I travelled from Greece to UK. Title: Re: London September 2nd Post by: Buckethead Superstar on September 03, 2004, 05:48:24 PM i still cant get over the fact they played spectacle...god bless VR
Title: Re: London September 2nd Post by: Is he struggling? on September 03, 2004, 06:11:07 PM The Tie Your Mother Down intro pissed me off though, i wanted to hear the whole thing! I hear you, buddy, especially as they then went into Negative Creep (which I am not fond of at all). Actually, if you squinted a bit, Weiland could have passed for Mercury c.1978, with his leather gear and camp swagger (hold your fire, it's probably the highest compliment I can pay to a frontman). Overall, a great show, with a few more surprises than I expected (E.g. the 'over the hills' intro, the extended keyboard/voicebox interlude during Illegal I). I also spotted a couple of folks in HTGTH T-Shirts in the queue outside the venue, which was nice. Title: Re: London September 2nd Post by: Christos AG on September 03, 2004, 06:16:58 PM I also spotted a couple of folks in HTGTH T-Shirts in the queue outside the venue, which was nice. Mark my words. These t-shirts will be "collector's items" in 2-3 years... Especially the ones Jarmo sold for 2-3 months, cause I know many people who made their own... Title: Re: London September 2nd Post by: AdZ on September 03, 2004, 07:21:37 PM U went all the way across Europe to see VR? Wow.... No, he went all the way across Europe to see me, VR and Mark Lanegan were just bonuses ;) Title: Re: London September 2nd Post by: Graciela on September 03, 2004, 09:43:51 PM I shook hands with Matt at Virgin...
and I have a witness...a credible one... allthough... he is drunk now.... but of course, he is gonna deny it...

Not that I'm being nosey or anything, but at what time was that picture taken? I was present at the singing yesterday and I was standing near where that picture was taken (at the top of the stairs) for a long while. Brian May has shared his thoughts on Thursday's gig on his 'soapbox'. He also says that, according to Slash himself, they could not play TYMD all the way through, as thier guitars were in the worng tuning. ... http://www.brianmay.com/brian/brianssb/brianssb.html Title: Re: London September 2nd Post by: Graciela on September 04, 2004, 08:20:05 AM Not that I'm being nosey or anything, but at what time was that picture taken? I was present at the singing yesterday? and I was standing near where that picture was taken (at the top of the stairs) for a long while. It was taken at about eight o'clock, when they stopped signing and Matt jumped over the table and came to greet the fans before they left. I was standing upstairs just in front of the table I know who your witness is... ;) And if he tries to deny it, I'll make him reveal the truth... Hehehehe, I have pictures that prove that he was drunk at a place called The Intrepid Fox :beer: Title: Re: London September 2nd Post by: Christos AG on September 04, 2004, 08:41:56 AM I know who your witness is...? ;) And if he tries to deny it, I'll make him reveal the truth...

Hi Jarmo, its your British fanclub here - also known as the weird blonde girl who kept staring at you manically ;D The night was fantastic but meeting you really capped it off ;) I had my reservations about Scot but seeing him in the flesh really put them to rest although he was't that sociable at the store signing but i think ive come to expect that from him! Title: Re: London September 2nd Post by: Christos AG on September 05, 2004, 11:19:45 AM Hi Jarmo, its your British fanclub here - also known as the weird blonde girl who kept staring at you manically ;D The night was fantastic but meeting you really capped it off ;) Houston... we 've got a problem... :hihi: Title: Re: London September 2nd Post by: jarmo on September 06, 2004, 03:31:16 AM Hi Jarmo, its your British fanclub here - also known as the weird blonde girl who kept staring at you manically ;D The night was fantastic but meeting you really capped it off ;) Houston... we 've got a problem... :hihi: You're just jealous. :P I saw you guys at Virgin too, you passed us while we were still in line. I tried shouting for Ian but I guess my voice wasn't loud enough....... :-[ /jarmo Title: Re: London September 2nd Post by: ianlei on September 06, 2004, 01:49:52 PM Jarmo,
Oh no! After we came out of the signing, we deliberately walked around the line to try and see you, because your fans (one blonde young lady inparticular!? ;) ) wanted to meet you again! Your fans were most disappointed we couldn't find you. Sorry we didn't hear you, guess our ears were still ringing from the night before! It was cool hanging with you! Ian ? Title: Re: London September 2nd Post by: winter_rose on September 06, 2004, 02:20:34 PM Houston... we 've got a problem... :hihi: Come on its Jarmo, would you not be just a little bit starstruck if you met him :o Sorry we didn't see you in the queue - we did walk round twice - once looking for you and once looking for a bar! :beer: Title: Re: London September 2nd Post by: AdZ on September 06, 2004, 02:27:25 PM Come on its Jarmo, would you not be just a little bit starstruck if you met him :o No. :P He did scream when he met me though. Title: Re: London September 2nd Post by: Christos AG on September 06, 2004, 02:36:27 PM Come on its Jarmo, would you not be just a little bit starstruck if you met him :o That's because you haven't met me yet... ;) Title: Re: London September 2nd Post by: winter_rose on September 06, 2004, 02:58:24 PM That's because you haven't met me yet...? ;) Point taken ........ i'll wait for the day :hihi: Title: Re: London September 2nd Post by: jarmo on September 06, 2004, 07:42:54 PM Jarmo, Oh no!

Ian Maybe it was because we were standing next to the ticket place just outside the main entrance. Might have been hard to see us there..... The security guard told us "move forward since there's empty space", so we did and skipped like ten places in the line. :o Then we got stuck behind that ticket place for what seemed like an eternity. :hihi: /jarmo Title: Re: London September 2nd Post by: jarmo on September 07, 2004, 06:00:45 PM U went all the way across Europe to see VR? Wow.... Not really. Seeing VR was a bonus. 8) I also spotted a couple of folks in HTGTH T-Shirts in the queue outside the venue, which was nice. Which t-shirts? ??? I had my own home made one. Black one with HTGTH written on the front in red. :hihi: /jarmo Title: Re: London September 2nd Post by: spunton on September 08, 2004, 09:04:39 AM the gig was great we managed to meet Duff outside the venue and get a signed shirt off the whole band. tried to put the pitures on, put didn't know how too. anyone how how a can copy picture to forum??????
