September 16 - Las Vegas, NV @ The Joint

[rwm172]

Hey Everyone!!!

Just got back home last night, I am still numb!!? That was the experince of a lifetime, and wish everyone from the board could have been there, as such the dedicated fans that we all are, it would have been nice.? I have never been to a more perfect GNR concert like that it completely just kicked f-ing ass and then some.

Since I saw them in Lisbon in June I would say that Axl has only perfected things along the way, and probably dropped an easy 20 lbs also, those shirts that were just a little snug now have plenty of room, for all of us gals out there Axl was definately looking very fine.

I think that the reviews people have already given are pretty damn accurate to the nights events, so I won't go there with any of that.

My husband Scott and I went to the Rainbow at about 6:15 or so.? Walked in and there were a handful of people around the bar, being the outgoing unshy person that I am I just walked up and asked them if they were all from the board, and low and behold they were.? That is where I met up with you Buddah, and your lovely wife.? It was all of you that I met, and I am sorry I cannot remember all of your names, that made this whole experience so damn perfect.? Thank you all for everything, I cannot even begin to stress how much fun I had meeting and partying with each and everyone of you, by the way I am the one that Buddah refers to as the awesome hippy chick who went to Lisbon, I love that It made me laugh so hard when I read that.? Like in Lisbon, it was great to meet some of the members in person, we are all such lucky people to share this same passion for GNR.? By the way I have all of us partying in Buddahs room saying hi to HTGTH on my cam, so will put that on here as soon as I can.? I love all of you, oh and to Emily, hope you made it home safe, and kicked your stupid jealous boyfriends ass for being such an idiot over Axl, he truley needs to grow up, and maybe as I told you while you were partying, you might want to think him over, as jealousy like that is not a good thing for a relationship, be careful!!!

While I was in the concert, I had people screaming at me from behind, from the balcony, and everywhere over my GNR jacket, frick everyone wanted that jacket, I even was asked to be in I don't know how many pictures with it, everyone loved it , thanks to all of them, I appreciate it, but It will be all that more cool if I can just manage to get it signed by Axl, and the band members, once I accomplish that task, I will hang it on my wall of GNR memorabilia.?

Also while I was there, a couple of guys behind me tapped me on the back, (in regards to jacket again), after talking for a few, I find out that like myself they are from Seattle also, one of the two of them pulls a card out of his wallet and hands it to me, he works for a major ticket selling place here, and told me GNR will be here in Seattle, in December, and to call him, and he will get me best possible seats available, so if this is true, I guess I will be going to this one in style, maybe those autographs will come then, and will be more special due to the fact that it will be from my hometown.

Like Buddah says we could all go on forever with what we experinced this last weekend , but time I am running out of right now, but before I go I once again want to thank each and everyone of you who had anything to do with this event, and I want to thank Jarmo and Mysterion for the presale tickets, I appreciate everything everyone here has done to make my trip so memorable, and if anyone ever come here to Seattle, please let me know in advance, and I will help accomodate your vist, and get together, peace to all of you and I love you all bunches.? msaxl43

Hey Guys,
I'm a new member here, but have already met some of you at last weekends show in Vegas. Thank you to all of you who I met, and who helped make all of our nights a night we won't forget! For all of the GnR fans, each and every one of you was cool as hell!! I love the attitudes everyone had, and the fact that we all had the same passion for GnR. I have never met so many people who are like me!!

I just wanted to say thanks for all of your guys support with my boyfriend who is jealous of Axl (and why wouldn't he be jealous, Axl is one fine piece of meat!!). I appriciate all the posts out to me - and that I should kick his ass... Thanks MsAxl43, and for the advice. I'm glad your husband is so supportive of you and your love for the band...one day I'll find a guy like that too! Thanks too all the other people who helped us have a wonderful time! For all of you going to Bakersfield....I'm SOO jealous!! But i'm also out of cash, so unfortunatley I won't be able to make it.

When the rest of the tour is announced, I'm hoping for a show in Minneapolis, or at least within driving distance of. If anyone would attend that show, we need to get together! plus if they do come to that area, axlrosegnr will be there too!

Damn Axlandemily where do u find these insecure fucks, Minnesota?  Sucks you can't make it so the Cali shows, but it will be hard to top Vegas for sure.  You remember me Rob, I met u guys on the street and gave Axlrosegnr a beer, then @ the Rainbow and buddah's hotel.

Anyway... I'll be going to the Inland Invasion this week and most likely the San Diego show on the 5th. Anyone else going to either of these?

Peace.

Just taking a stab in the dark here...dude were you on line for the balcony? Anyway, welcome bro.

Nope. I was standing in front of the Star*ucks around the time Axl made his way down the hall. I think the gal I met was named Alexis? And there was a couple from Boston too... the guy was wearing a pale blue GNR shirt. Also some guy from LA that did something with Radiology or was it Nuclear Treatments in Santa Monica.

Was this guy older and did his eyes roll back into his eyelids? This dude kept coming back to where i was standing near the first railing... anyway the security came over and told them if he touched this gal again they would break his fingers! I sure hope they did cause he was a total prick!

There was some loser in a wife beater that kept falling all over me on Saturday. So drunk he could barely stand, his eyes closing shut. I kept giving him the elbow/push/jab but he wouldn't get it. Eventually I told him that if he kept falling on me I would punch him in the face. LOL He actually laid off for a while, then staggered out of the venue early.

The dogs were there both nights by the door where they scanned your ticket.  Sunday night they had the biggest German Shepherd I have ever seen!  I was going to attempt to pet him but I didn't think the cop would condone.

I asked On Sunday night if I could pet one of the dogs, and the cop gave me the DIRTIEST look.

[dblj]

While I was in line on Sunday I asked one of the cops if it was a drug sniffing dog and he told me they had 4 dogs, one drug sniffing, one bomb sniffing, one weapons (guns) sniffing, and an attack dog.  He said he wouldn't tell me which was which though.  The hand stamps that were using were supposedly the dogs names, I saw Bowie, Sid, and Prince stamps.

As I wasn't an active member here in 2006, I want to just say how amazing these Vegas Joint shows were. I was 17 at the time and I flew on my own to Las Vegas from London Gatwick, still can't believe I did it.

Las Vegas was beautiful and everything I expected and more, and the sun was just burning all week long. I met another guy who had flown from the UK for these shows. I felt happy that there were other people out there who felt the same as me.

The shows were the best shows I have ever seen in my life, and that includes shows up to the present day (2010). Seeing GN'R in such a small place was magical, and I was front row both nights. I saw a number of band members in the casino beforehand, Robin, Richard, Dizzy, Ron and also Del.

For Welcome To The Jungle on the 16th, Robin came out with his tophat and a blue shirt/vest. It was the first time in 2006, that Robin came out without a long black coat but still with his tophat, and he looked badass. They played the hell out of everything for those 2 nights, and I felt as if I had seen 2 legendary shows.

I met Ron as well, in a store inside the Hard Rock hotel. I had my picture taken in front of the Guns N' Roses stand. But what made my trip was how much Robin Finck interacted with me, he was so nice. I had seen GN'R loads of times that summer as I live in the UK, so I saw most  of the European and UK tour. And when Robin saw me that first night during the intro to Jungle, he looked right into my eyes and grinned while nodding his head. I knew, that he knew I had flown all the way to Vegas from the UK to see GN'R again, and that made my trip.
