Where you at the New York shows in May of 2006? Those shows were amazing. I was there for the Friday and the Monday show. Since this reunion has happend, i've been lucky enough to have seen them five times. The 2nd Vegas show in 16, then Houston and I actually won tix to the San Antonio show which was my favorite since the reunion. Two more times for Austin City limits music fest, 2nd wkend was the better show.


No, I went to a bunch of European shows in the summer though. Including Hammersmith Apollo. I did see them at the Meadowlands arena and Madison Square Garden in November 2006 though.

The second one was the cooler one right? It was hot the first weekend and then like a different season the next!

I went to Hammersmith. That was an exciting gig. A late night I remember. and Avenged Sevenfold opened. They'd be a good opener now in big stadiums. Were you working for them then? When was your first gig as a employee?

Yeah. Exciting indeed.

No, I was just going to as many shows as I could...... Making up for missing them in 2002 and 1993 I guess.  hihi

Bangkok 2017

The story begins in early 2015, I was in Pattaya Thailand (i have some friends and family there. and often i played drums with local rock bands that i knew from years back)
Bumblefoot was in town to play some charity gigs. I found my way backstage at his gig, im a huge fan of both his solo stuff and GNR. Met him and the local band that was backing him.
The gig was great, later that same evening i was playing drums at the local rock bar near the venue where Bumblefoot had just played. Im on stage and Bumblefoot and his wife walks in the club while IM ON STAGE!  Ive never been so nervous in my life on stage.

Anyway we meet again, he invites me and my dad to come to the soundcheck for his next big festival gig.
We went, it was cool. I was invited to the side of the stage to watch the show. And for the encore without telling me anything in advance They INVITE ME ONSTAGE TO PLAY SWEET CHILD! I was in cloud nine.

Next two years 2016 and 2017 he was playing the same charity gigs again. I was there in Thailand too, this time he invited me to play a few songs with him.

So fast forward to February 2017. I had just played Pink Panther, Little Brother Is Watching, Don't Know Who to Pray to Anymore and Paradise City in front of this pretty huge audience With Freaking Bumblefoot. Hanging backstage ect. I was living the dream 100%.
 
About 1 week after this, GN'R was playing in a stadium in Bangkok, i was there of course, pit tickets. My first reunion show. Weather was HOT, i was super close to the stage. It was totally dark so the stage lights were at their full potential.  The show was pure magic. The crowd was great, the band was on fire. I was sweating like never before.
Directly After the gig a had a morning flight back to Helsinki. Back to reality. Still on cloud nine. What a trip.

That's quite the story! Cheesy

Yes, that show was pretty sweaty.... I remember walking outside the venue as doors were open and saw a bunch of drunks. I listened to some of them speak and surprise, it was Finnish. I think one of them might've been passed out already.

That was not me Grin

I went to the gig alone and sober. (So no finnish speaking there)
After the gig  i met some friends who were also there for a beer, and someone recognised me from the gigs the week before. That was extra special cool too.

Haha!


It was just a funny coincidence, being a Finnish speaker myself and seeing these people there.

Just reminded me of the fact that GN'R brings people from all over the world to their shows. Holidays and GN'R, perfect combination!



Three years ago we were in Hanover Germany. That was another surreal show, and not only because Angus Young was there. The show was outside in a convention center area. Once the thunderstorm moved in, the show was stopped for over an hour.People moved to get cover from the storm. Once it passed, the fans came back and the band continued the show in the rain...

Mine would have to be in the pit in Cincinnati in 2016.  First time seeing Axl, Slash and Duff share the stage.  It was really cool and exciting when Axl introduced Steven Adler and he joined for 2 songs.  Just a great beautiful night!  A few days later, I went to the show in Nashville.  Another great one.  One of my favorite weeks of my life!

That was a surprise.  Cheesy

I mean, the guest appearance in Los Angeles was less of a surprise. Because it's Los Angeles....



On this day, four years ago. The first show of the summer tour was in Detroit, MI. That was pretty surreal. The first real tour with Axl, Duff and Slash since 1993 was starting. The shows in April were more like a little warm up... But this was the real deal. Two months across the USA and a stop in Canada.

I couldn't get a ticket for those Hammersmith shows, much to my annoyance!

I can't remember why they did them now. Were they warm ups for something?

Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC in 2006 was a kinda like a warm up for the summer European tour.

So were the Hammersmith ones just 'one offs' then? I believe they came before the summer 2006 European tour right?

Four years ago, we were in Philadelphia loading in at the Lincoln Financial Field. I remember before going to work, I took a walk do see the Rocky statue.  Smiley

Three years ago, we were traveling to Tel Aviv, Israel.

Two years ago were in Moscow. Show day at the Otkritie Arena, also known as Spartak Stadium.

What do you do for work? I assume the website was and always has been a labor of love but being fairly omnipresent and spending so much time with the band I have always wondered how you actually make a living?

You kinda answered your own question.

Was fortunate enough to be part of the group of people who traveled around the world with GN'R until the pandemic hit.

As evasive as I expected . Simple question Jarmo......When someone asks me i say I'm an office manager for the RAA my basic responsibilities are......

So you are employed by GNR in what role,? Surely you cannot be fully employed moderating and defending Axl to a group of 10 people online?

Mostly office work. Things people don't necessarily see.

Also done everything from shooting confetti to helping with VIP package customers.

Not really odd. I don't talk to anyone that has religious views and unable to compromise and meet in the middle. I feel his views are so tainted by employment  that there is no point in engaging in an open an honest discussion as a fellow fan. Much in the same way as i don't talk to religious family members. They have a pre conceived outcome and no level of logic will sway them. Why talk to anyone that will never concede a point?  That's not a discussion.

Jarmo is the dictionary definition of why fame has a dark side. I love my brother like...well...a brother. But If I'm asked about where i disagree with him I'll freely offer you examples. jarmo not only won't do the same but ask him to nominate a show where Axl's performance wasn't 10/10 and he will only offer examples where there were technical glitches. In Jarmo's world the boss cannot ever be anything other than prefect. This is why I call him Kelly Anne Conway

I recall as a teenager watching the Don't Cry making video and being shocked by the butt kissing that happened with Axl. I had always viewed Axl as really relatable and down to earth and it made me sad that his hangers on were so clearly disingenuous. Something mentioned by Slash and Duff in their books. I view Jarmo as one of the hangers on to fame and money that lacks integrity...as does 99% of the GNR fanbase. We long term fans can pin point when he signed an agreement with GNR as his whole demeanor towards the online fans changed overnight.

If you or Jarmo can point me to a single post where he has admitted someone has a good point of view and said yep, fair point was wrong.....or a single post where he has said yeah GNR/Axl made a poor move there then I will delete my membership. But you won't....and the reasons above explain why

This is an man that has been bought  Hence why i don't engage with someone with no integrity or ability to reason, compromise or engage as anything other than a shill.
