this is so fucking great!!!

i want to join since i'm comming from norway alone  

i can't wait, second gn'r show in my life, and it's been 11 years since last the last time... i can't wait!!!

 

hey kiki, do you know lisbon well? where would you plan the meeting? is it going to be a place like the hard rock cafe?

[Kiki]

I never been in Lisbon before, but i "know" Gunners who live there.
I'm gonna ask them for a good place, and yes i'm thinking of a hardrock cafe.
When i know of the right place i will add it here.

Good to see you will join us.

[miminaboo]

Well, if we can have our tickets for RIR Lisboa, (which is not so easy   ), we will be 6 to come  

[littleredcorvette]

Woohoooo!!! I just booked my ticket!!!! Yeeeaaaahhhh!!!!!

I am SO excitement you have no idea!!! It seems like the last 14 months have gone by in no time now!!

I'm coming over from the UK. It'll be cool to meet some peeps and swap info about flights/hotels etc.

I'll do every single show played in Europe so I reckon by the end we should get a little GnR circus going on...

Now I'ma ask Jesse malin to ask Tommy which hotel the band are gonna stay in  

[Gunnershome]

when you see a strange person..give him a hand...it will be me! see ya there

[ericy210]

Count me in- representing Chicago.  I flew to Leeds, I'm happy to fly to Portugal.

Let's figure out where we're all staying, too.

For flying, it may be cheapest to fly into London then take a discount flight to Lisbon.  Google "Europe discount air fare" and you'll get a ton of sites.

I'm a hard core lurker, excited to meet you all!

I cannot imagine what we're in for, especially if there are no shows before this one.

[killerbee_vr6]

Just bought 2 tickets, flying into London from NorCal then into Lisbon. Where is everyone going to meet?

[erose]

does anyone know where they are staying?

does anyone have a hotel to recomend?

edit: on the confirmation mail it says seat(s), will there be chairs to sit in? i thought the crowd was standing up?`

if chairs, how will we all get together? are there numbered chairs?

[miminaboo]

nothing to recommend (I don't know Lisbon - and hotels were nearly all full: there is the Euro - football the week after)

We made reservation in an 'Ibis hotel' January, the 1st   ...

There are no chairs there, it's just standing up.
I think it's just something that's always in the confirmation mail.

if you have other questions go to http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/board/index.php?board=4;action=display;threadid=8529 please, this thread is only for people who wanna meet there.
Thank you  

[MeanBone]

hey y'all i'm goin! i'll buy my tickets friday with some friends and some of them are also here in the board, and we're all looking foward on goin to meeting. so count me in. and BTw, IBis hotel is actually nice, not a 5 star hotel, but i think its actually very good, that is, if its the one i'm thinking of.  well, hope to see you all in my hometown in may. ROCK ON  

[Kiki]

Cool meanbone, nice to see you're in.


i've added the place where the meeting will be in the first post.

[MeanBone]

just a word of advice, if we wanna go to the HRC we have to get there really early, cuz the place gets full of people around 8 o'clock, and then you have to wait 1 or 2 hours to get a table.

[Kiki]

OK, thanx for the advice!

[jarmo]

just a word of advice, if we wanna go to the HRC we have to get there really early, cuz the place gets full of people around 8 o'clock, and then you have to wait 1 or 2 hours to get a table.

Can't you count the people from the board who are going and make a reservation for X amount of people or something like that?  


/jarmo

[MeanBone]

i think that can be arranged Jarmo, my university is next to the HRC so i'll try to drop by soon and find out what can be done.  

[badapple81]

Im coming from Sydney, Australia.. count me in!  

[erose]

thats a looong way, awsome!!!

can't wait to see you all there!!

[badapple81]

Unfortunately I was going to go from the UK (where I would be at the time) but those plans have fallen through so unfortunately I wont be there

Being in Australia I doubt I'll ever see GNR!

[Rockin' Rose]

My first post  

This is my first Gn'R show and I'll be travelling alone so it would be great to meet other fans, count me in.

Flying from Finland, any others going from here?

[gueli]

But then... he might be busy trying to find a new guitarist Anywayz... I'll be there too of course!! I'm sure there's plenty to do in Lisbon tho, and I am going to enjoy it, and the gunner meeting!!

(ADLERS APPETITE IN HOLLAND,BUCKETHEAD WITH BILL LASWELL IN GENT BELGIUM,MSG2002,PUKKELPOP,RIR3 2DVDS,DETROIT,THE RITZ 88,PARIS92,TOKIO SHOWS,ALBANY,ENZENZENZ)

[grabaraxl]

today i got the confirmation of the date from the hard rock cafe.
sorry kiki, but it's only possible on may 28th!

so here are the plans for the evening:

8 PM: Dinner - everyone that wants to eat at the Hard Rock should email me (ruibarros@vianw.pt), so i can reserve a table.

during the dinner, gn'r dvd's will be playing on the restaurant and bar screens.

Midnight: Stick To Your Guns live - my gn'r tribute band will play a 2 hour set, of over 20 gn'r songs.

for everybody that doesn't want to have dinner at the Hard Rock, there will be free entrance until 22:30, and from that time on it will be charged 6 euros (with the right to one drink).

hope to see some of you there! bring your gn'r t-shirt and pass your eyes though the gn'r lyrics so you can sing with us!

Jarmo, if you can put this on the website "news" section, and maybe email this info to blabbermouth, it would be awesome. it would be great if a bunch of gn'r fans could spend a night rockin together.

thanks
Rui

we haven't plan that  ... so I dont know if we could be there...


well, let me know what you're doing  

[Kiki]

Sure we're gonna be there at THE GUNNERSMEETING!
We're gonna come with a bunch of Gunners and gonna have a F*CKIN' GOOD TIME.
It's gonna be on saturday 29th of May from 20.00 as planned.
We expect you and your friends at the HardRockCafe then, and if they don't wanna have us we're gonna go to another bar who will!!

Hope to see you all there.

Who else is gonna come?
Let us know.

[Gunnershome]

we will be there whith a lott of fans who arived on saturday iam taking shows whith me so we meet in the hardrockcafe at 20.00 and than we will see.but its gonne be great i loved to see you all!!

[grabaraxl]

we just did soundcheck. it was amazing! great stage, great PA system. tonight's show will rock!
confirmations just for the gn'r convention dinner are almost 100!
plus there'll be a lot of people coming just for the show, so i'm pretty sure it'll be packed as hell and they'll have to close the doors becuase of security reasons.
i did a great dvd, kinda like a best of from pro shot stuff that's been around, that'll be screened before the show (it's 2 hours long, including old and new gn'r).

kiki, call me tomorrow when you get here. i'ld love to have dinner with you guys. but the hard staff kinda passed on the thought of doing another gn'r night with dvd's playing on saturday, and i can't think of another bar that'll do it.
but they said they can program their usual videos so that they'll show more gn'r stuff (i just saw Sweet child's documentary version there).

see ya!
Rui

[jarmo]

Seems like the meeting is under way. They had watched the Ritz 88 DVD earlier today and now RIR3 was gonna be on next.




/jarmo

[Rockin' Rose]

Well I was there on the 29th but obviosly it was on 28th... fuck why did I go to see Paul McCartney? Well Gn?R fans really are everywhere as I met four Gn?R fans from Ireland who didn?t even know about the fan meeting. Well maybe next time then.

[jarmo]

Well I was there on the 29th but obviosly it was on 28th...

There were two meetings, one on Friday and one on Saturday.


/jarmo

[grabaraxl]

friday night was insane!!
the Hard Rock was packed. it was the largest crowd to see a band there so far. i felt really good when the HRC manager thanked us for that after the show.

it was the first Stick To Your Guns show wiht the new vocalist, and it went on pretty good. the crowd was totally into all the songs - from sweet child to so fine, everybody was singing along.

i got pretty drunk and it was probably the show i enjoyed playing more, always with a strike of jack daniels in between the songs.

saw a bunch of international fans there - from england, australia, brasil, spain and of course, lots of portuguese fans i had never met!

Karl Larsen, the guy who took Axl's picture in Vegas 2001 - and that now is VR's official photographer - was there. he came to lisbon to shoot Rock In Rio for Rolling Stone magazine. he run to the show after Paul McCartney and still made it to the last half. he had some great pictures of VR and Axl for sale. I went out out with him and his friend Lou, trying to get a drink in bairro alto, but we couldn't get any bar open, so we ended up in a gas station, having a snack and exchanging Gn'R stories. pretty cool!

i hope the guys on saturday had fun as well. i was waiting for kiki to call me or email me so i could join them, but she didn't!

well, another day, another show. tonight, Stick To Your Guns will play another show, also with my original band playing - Kidnap.

see ya!
Rui

[Gunnershome]

The people overthere told me about the Fridaynight, seems like you had a good night too
