well i wasnt planning on taking my camera with me but that really fucking sucks.  Just out of interest who told you those rules?  I better not tell em about the mini disc recorder I'll be taking in then.......

[Alan]

i'm still gonna be taking my camera down it was the same with VR strictly no cameras, but the pit security were cool about it.

at the end of the day if they take my camera it's a theft and i will report it as one.

also T&C of purchase mention nothing about photography, yet another reason i will be taking a camera.

Seeing as this is a small intimate warm up gig what do you think the chances of it being like the NYC gigs? In the sense that they'll play the 6 democracy songs, after all there will be all the hardcore fans there!

Not only fans but, as this is the first UK date and also a London one, presumably there'll be a good turn out of media people and some of his peers too, so I think he'll be out to impress and hopefully pulling out all the stops like in NY and showcasing the new songs.  Fingers crossed for this anyway!

[Shirell]

OK about the meet up....

Are we going to post pics of each other so we know who to look out for?? Or are we gonna have an actual section cordorned off for the pre show party?

Sad lack of pics of me I'm afraid but I'll be there anyway.

....basically when you buy a ticket for an event, youre entering into a contract between the artist, the venue and the promoter, they can change policy without notification, as youve already bought the ticket, therefore entering the agreement to abide by the set regulations for the eventthats the rules as it stand, im not going to argue every legal aspect of the night with regards to theft, coz i cant be arsed!
The legal aspect is, your camera will be confiscated if you enter the venue with it, to be returned to yourself at the end of the show,even camera phones are required to be switched off at the door.
Its an impossible task for the venue to police such a situation, and im sure there will be a few bootlegs and photos flying onto the web hours after the event, good luck to you if ya get away with it, i say!!

Me? ill be in the pit, catchin the bendy kids who decide to surf all night.

Take care stay safe

Im taking my camera.  If it gets taken then so be it but as Im seated upstairs I'm hoping they wont be so stringent.

[Mandy.]

Im taking my camera.? If it gets taken then so be it but as Im seated upstairs I'm hoping they wont be so stringent.

Your camera won't be taken. Fernando said the security guys only ask you to turn it off.



By the way, I still haven't got my tickets. Ahh man, Murphy is so my best friend.

Im taking my camera.? If it gets taken then so be it but as Im seated upstairs I'm hoping they wont be so stringent.

Likewise. Should, hopefully, get some nice shots from being seated. Even if they are keeping an eye on upstairs, i'm sure we can manage some sneaky shots

3 days to goooooo  GNR will be on around now on wednesday 

can't fuckin wait!

Just one more thing: Make sure you hide it somewhere safe. I'm guessing security is going to be searching bags for cameras and stuff.

Can anybody offer a rough guess as to what time gnr will get on stage at?

I gotta drive from Soton and I would hate to hear the WTTJ intro while I was stuck in the queue?

Hi, as with the bigger acts at the Apollo recently, youll be looking at GnR on stage from about 830pm onwards, as curfew for that venue is 11pm, and i guess theyll be doing a 19 song set as in NY, so aim to get there for about 730pm youll be in ok.
Another bit of info, if you get to park before 630pm at a meter, you have to pay up till that hour, parking is free AFTER 630pm and theres plenty of spaces around the venue, just dont do what some do, and load up a meter with about 12quid for the nights duration, as you only need to pay up till 630pm.

Mind you, didnt they come on stage at the Hammerstein Theatre recently at 11pm, and not wind up till 130am??

at ?1000 pound a minute fine for going over the curfew, lets hope he sells a few more tshirts if that happens here.
