Pretty much rules out the VMAs - but the upside is that it looks like the tour is gonna start in mid September!

IM excited to see Dizzy again in NY . Who knows maybe Richard will join him again like he did a few times in the past :)(as aside not , it was at the Lions Den in NYC that I first met Richard, while he was gusting with Dizzy, and wasnt the last time I got to hang out with him ). So Im all for seeing a great night of music! Till the GUNNERS come back and do a full show in NYC.

Dizzy has hinted in a MySpace blog that there might be something happening on Sat the 19th at a Hookers & Blow show.

(Before anyone starts) You can count out the possiblility that Axl is going to turn up and make a major announcement about CD at Dizzy's piss-fart concert.

He just said - "Big f**kin party after too but you need to show up to find out where it is. OH....and before I forget.....SPECIAL GUESTS! I just got off tour with my moonlighting gig as the piano player for Guns n Roses....not that that's a hint or anything."

Oh, this must be the rumour about Fortus making an appearance.

So I guess GNR is playing a VIP club show that night after the Hookers & Blow show at another venue.

It's pitiful that Dizzy has to resort to these tactics to garner interest in his cover band. He should change the name of his band to "Axl's Ass Kissers", and get Baz to guest on vocals. In all seriousness, I wouldn't be surprised if Robin, Tommy, or Richard are at the show. Dizzy is in trouble when Chinese democracy comes out and Chris Pittman steals Dizzy's thunder. That's going to be a huge blow to Dizzy when Chris becomes GnR's most popular keyboardist.

I might be able to, depends on which night it is and how buried I am at work.  Right now I'm at the bottom of a mile high pile, so it's not looking good.

God I wish they'd come to Texas while they're down in Louisiana.   Houston would be great.

I'll be out of town for Labor Day weekend, or else I would head down to the Philly show.  I already sent a message to their MySpace page asking for NYC show lol
