Here Today... Gone To Hell!

This is from the gnr bar from axl roulley


I just got a text message from Matt..It reads "I'm at the Plum on W 14th..GNR r gonna play any minute"..??
GNR is set to play again tonight at "The Plum" in NYC..There are a couple of hundred people there and my boy Matt is there..

Wow..He said he will call me later..

Hmmm.........

i call your bluff

Bands play secret gigs all the time. Why not GN'R?

Cool, I say.

I would usually say bullshit but your a legend.  Why would you lie?

well.......WOW....if this is true........

I dont know if its legit or not, i am just passing along the info via the gnr bar

I don't believe it.

You're calling the bluff of a longtime and well respected member of this forum? Get a clue.



dave, who is this matt that is referred to? I have never been to the gnr bar.

i just cant see axl dealing with the sound problems at a small club. although i can see the spontaneity of this n see them doing it for fun (axl's in a great mood, they would have been out anyway)

Not when there's money to be made!  Axl needs every penny for that new apartment in NY....  ::)

I don't think GNR will play there...

Your friend probably meant Axl's band.

Dude, that joke has been done to death. And that discussion doesn't belong in this topic, grab your bat and head on over to the dead horse.

Good god di your unfunny joke just bomb. Just sit there and think about how unfunny and gay you are.

Again its not my friend, a poster at the gnr bar is claiming this, I am? just passing along the info incase its legit
http://p087.ezboard.com/fgunsnroses14385thegnrbar.showMessage?topicID=33399.topic

Cool as fuck if its true.. Guess we will know in a little.

Don't worry Dave, we're not gonna crucify you! :hihi:  I'm just saying, it probably isn't true... Would be great though.

It would be a good idea.
-they could work on the new songs, in preparation for the upcoming European leg
-it would generate a buzz, like the one coming out of Hollywood in 86/87, when rock bands would go out and play impromptu shows all the time. ?It might also attract other bands to the scene--a great, creative atmosphere!!

Hope it's true, but doubt it.

Dave did not say it, he only passed it on........

if this is indeed true, this guy should call someone and let them hear what song they are playing and stuff..........

Lol, Axl Rose isn't going to take stage at 2:30 am in some small bar... he's probably resting his voice and hitting on some hot chick right now at an exclusive club.

From what I can recall, The Plumm is not very big at all. ?Like not enough to fit a full band setup in. ?It's like a swank little dj dance setup. ? I don't think this is happening.

Yeah I know, but dave is trying to keep people here informed about something that could be legit. I dont see why newer members have to antagonize someone that is well known in these communities. Dave isnt going to just pull something out of a hat for shits and giggles.

I think GnR should become a NYC band.....just move the operation to NYC!!! forget LA, its old and done. the band has a very "new york feel" to it! we love gnr here, and axl n co. love it here!

For all we know, it could be Axl and Finck/Fortus/Izzy/Bfoot (take your pick) just playing a couple of acoustic songs, like West Arkeen and Axl did back in the day in Hollywood... Time will tell.

Pardon me, but it wasn't meant to be funny at all.

Just a fact.

Axl Roulley and Roadcrew are very reliable members of the GNR community... and it appears that GNR did indeed perform for an hour or so.? Looking forward to hearing the details!

The claim is that they played for an hour. 

Who knows.

I get to quote myself now because apparently they indeed played mostly acoustic stuff including Used to Love Her and You're Crazy, as posted by the guy at the GN'R Bar with the friend who was there.

I would be truly amazed if this really occured..... I just can't see the new guys doing an acoustic set.

If it did, that is fucking awesome though.

I wonder if Izzy had anything to do with it if it really happened and was acoustic....

A small, impromptu and intimate club gig. Acoustic nonetheless.

Just imagine having that bootleg.  :drool:

Why do you say that? GNR have always done something acoustic. Since "Round 2" is once again revolving around the past, I dont see why you would be shocked by them doing something that GNR have done before.

Sure they weren't just having a few cocktails and wanted to pull a fast one on all of us? I mean I don't know these guys who are claiming this show happened.. do any of you really know them that good? I mean it's tough for me to see Axl and the new guys doing an acoustic set. But, he's been out on the town and in damn good spirits, so I guess anything is possible.

AxlRoulley, from ''The GNR Bar'', posted



and



Incredible, I want to believe this, but is almost impossible in my opinion...

I just can't see it happening.... :peace:

I really don't see what's so improbable about it. I mean, they just finished playing four live shows in NYC. They have at least five more shows to do this year until they've filled their live concert quota for the next 4 years. ?:hihi:

Can it be true - Please keep us posted with news.

 :peace:

Agreed.? :)? This is very typical GNR.? I can really see Axl wanting to do this with the new band.? Might be a hint of what's to come for part of the London club show, too.


Don't even THINK that!? ?:o

Hehe, nah, this time I feel they'll go through with the shows they have scheduled. I know they will, cuz I had a ticket to see them and now I can't go, and that would be my luck  :'(
The last time I had tickets to see 'em Axl didn't even know he had a tour scheduled.  :o

Well, I was hoping for some proof of this show to appear, but I gotta hit the sack, gotta work tommorow. I still don't believe this, I think these guys just had a few too many cocktails and wanted to play a joke,  but I hope to wake up and be proven wrong. :peace:

If they did perform tonight - It may be a way for the band to become tighter before heading across the pond - Axl seems to be happier than in 2002.

Anything is possible.

From Matt "Roadcrew" from DN'B's mailing list:

"Okay... I can't really tell you how I found out or how I got on the
list without betraying a friend's confidence, but I got a call around 6
p.m. that Rosario Dawson, the actress from RENT, ALEXANDER, etc., was
having a birthday party tonight at a small club near my apartment that
I'm told is called Plum (I feel like an idiot but I honestly have never
seen a name on the marquee and now I can't find a club called Plum on
citysearch.com, so I apologize if that's not right.) and that GN'R WERE
GOING TO PLAY. Some of my co-workers and I were able to get our names
on the list. I was told to keep my mouth shut b/c it was all supposed
to be a secret.

Anyways, I have been here once or twice before, and it's a pretty
small, chich nightclub. It has 2 floors and holds maybe 800, 900 people
tops - someone told me capacity is actually around 500 people, I don't
know how accurate that is and tonight, it was definately filled
wwwaaaayyyy beyond capacity. I don't mean to make light of a tragedy
but if God forbid there had been a ?fire, it would have been The
Station x10.

So doors are at 11 p.m. and we show up around 12:30 a.m. and... we're
told we can't go in. Allegedly Axl got into a fight with a club goer (I
can't verify this) and they subsequently shut down the doors. Of ther
dozen or so people I was with, all but my friend Ken split. It was at
that point that Ken had the brilliant idea that maybe now they would
let us in since there was just 2 of us. We pleaded with a bouncer who
verified that we were actually on the list and - yes! - we were in.

Like I said, the place was packed, but we managed to find another good
friend who had a table up front near the stage. The joint was crawling
with celebrities: Kid Rock, Mickey Rourke, Eric Balfour, and God knows
who else. On the way up I heard buzz first that the original band was
there (which I knew was B.S.), and then buzz that it was just Axl and
Izzy and Matt Sorum (which seemed feasible in light of Axl's recently
making-nice with both former Gunners). I saw Dizzy wandering around
before we took our spot up front, maybe five or ten feet from where the
band was and right next to Del James.

The band finally came a little after 1 a.m. I think. The stage was
incredibly small and everyone surged forward to the point where tables
were knocked over; my legs and feet are currently soaked in champagne
and God knows what else. Anyway, Izzy and Matt were NOT there (or if
they were, they didn't play), and if Brain was there, I didn't see him,
either.

But Axl, Robin, Richard, Tommy, Bumblefoot, Dizzy and Chris all took
the stage. Everyone played acoustically except Robin, who played a
semi-hollow Gibson, and Tommy, who played his usual bass; for KOHD,
Robin and Richard switched instruments. Chris and Dizzy played maracas,
congos, tambourines, and occasionally the keyboard, which was crammed
in the corner. Axl introduced the show as the "karaoke version" of GN'R
as a movie screen-sized monitor with all his lyrics was behind him
(BTW, I don't know about everyone else, but all this time I've thought
the lyric is I.R.S. was "All the legions," but it's actually "All the
reasons that you give, I'll follow you.") . Everyone seemed to be in a
great mood; they played some old tunes from LIES that they haven't done
since Slash was in the band, and Axl said they had learned the songs
just 20 minutes before arriving at the club. Before I.R.S., Axl asked
the band if they felt like trying it even though they hadn't rehearsed
it, and Tommy screamed out "I'm fucking fearless, I'll try anything!"
November Rain, for which only Robin did an electric solo, sounded
better than it did at the Hammerstein shows; Richard and especially
Bubmlefoot's acoustic solos just sounded astounding.

Needless to say, the whole place went apeshit... it was a really
intimate, really amazing show and a nice way to close out the week
after the 4 Hammerstein gigs. I don't remember the precise order of the
set list but here is what they played:

USED TO LOVE HER
MR. BROWNSTONE
WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE
YOU'RE CRAZY (LIES version, not the APPETITE version)
PATIENCE
KNOCKIN' ON HEAVEN'S DOOR
THE BLUES
I.R.S.
SWEET CHILD O' MINE
NOVEMBER RAIN (Axl on keyboard)
PARADISE CITY

I don't think I missed any songs; the whole show lasted a little over
an hour, maybe. At the end Axl came back out and said "I forgot to do
something b/c I'm a fucking idiot" before bringing Rosario Dawson out
on stage and leading the audience in a rendition of "Happy Birthday."
The Rosario grabbed the mike and went nuts - "THEY'VE NEVER PLAYED ALL
ACOUSTIC, THIS IS HISTORY IN THE MAKING, HOW MUCH DOES THIS MAN FUCKING
ROCK," etc.

Okay. I have work in the morning so I'm going to bed. If I forgot
anything I'll type more later...

-Matt
a.k.a. The Luckiest Bastard in the World"

I will fucking puke if that was NOT recorded in some way shape or form!!!  :nervous:

There's a 99.99% chance it was not recorded.

How do they do Jungle on acoustics....or play some of those songs without the drums.. wierd...

but awesome, would have been great to be there.

With the exception of I.R.S. and NR, I've played all those songs on an acoustic guitar... It's definitely doable, and probably sounded FUCKING AWESOME! We need this show.

Will, you gotta have faith, man. We need to hear The Blues and IRS as acoustic versions.

Dammit. Ive been a good citizen all year but nearly everyone I know forgets my birthday. Rosario Dawson does that god awful movie of Rent and gets GnR for hers.

Go figure  :rant:


j/k OMG if its true.

Wow. Surreal.

Absolutely Surreal.

You think that the world is what it is, then something like this happens and everything you thought was known and predictable has been shattered.

Rent and Alexander were two stinkers to put on a resume.

THis....this right here is what I would give up the rehersals for. ? ?Give me a quality recording, I will leak the rehersals

lol, are you kidding?? This is worth WAY more than the rehearsals...

I second that. Not even the same ball park.

Worth more then the rehersals? ?Yes, however, it depends on how many people get their hands on it. ?Also, the quality is in question as well

I'm surprised no ones coughed up a cellphone pic or anything.? C'mon people where the pics? 8)

Also...are you saying that this one shouldn't be leaked, and should be kept for a trade that may be worth it....lets say....the Vegas shows? ?If that was the case then you all wouldn't be getting the rehersals, Vegas, or this accoustic thing.

Dude with the 2006 shows, do you really think that many people give a fuck about this now ?: ok:

Yes people would like to see it but with all these new shows it just becomes less and less needed.

Holy Shit!!! This is nuts! Finally these guys are acting like a band!

Very true.

velvet: No one talked about hoarding. This one (if it exists) shouldn't be hoarded but we're not the ones deciding it. If someone like dankrass recorded it, it would be out, but I highly doubt it was recorded at all.

Some pics would be nice, yeah.

Bingo!! :beer: You just hit the nail on the head. These hoarders think what they have remains priceless forever. Its only valuable when GNR aren't doing anything. Now that the ball is rolling, most shit from the past(especially something as minor as rehearsals) pretty much becomes worthless.

okay....nevermind ?

GUNS N' ROSES Play Surprise Acoustic Gig In New York City - May 19, 2006 
 
A BLABBERMOUTH.NET visitor by the name of Matt Goldenberg has submitted the following report:

"Okay...

I want the bootleg of this show so fucking baaaaaaaaaaaaaad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Blues acoustic? That must be crazy.

I have the show   give  me $3,000 and it is yours.

Yes. We still have to see pics and stuff though.

Any chance of having the pics bigger?  Those are awesome!!!!

Check out your PMs. ;)

thanks!! wow... so it DID really happen!! how cool! Mysteron, do you know whether this was planned for a while or whether it was a complete impromptu?

remco

sweeeet

That is so fucking awesome, Ive never been to that place, but damn that rocks!

Wow,

HOLY CHRIST.

This is it, fellas.

GnR have landed.

How the fuck does Rosario Dawson swing getting Guns and Roses to play an acoustic set like that? That's insane. I want Guns and Roses to play my birthday next month. I don't make movies, but making no movies is better than making Rent and Alexander.

holy shit :o anyone managed to get bigger images than those above?

 you have to be a member to get the pics bigger

But it literally takes 30 seconds to sign up.

just register on WI... it is free

Amazing! Can someone post the bigger pics here?

Thanks to Shaggy. :)

Cool!


Just when you thought things were gonna quiet down for a little bit... Guns N' Roses world is a strange one.

WOW this is amazing!!!

GNR IS FUCKING BACK!

Geez, how cool is that? ?: ok:

edit:

Cool, Axl was replaced.

(http://ringmasterx2.free.fr/Forum_Kdo/GifsCoco/UPloads/Gnr_NYC/05.jpg)

By Satan.  :hihi:

Thats fucking amazing!

I like Axl's shirt. Pity we havent got any photos of Finck or Stintson there, but GOD DAMN!

This is awesome.

Axl is quick becoming the hottest person around on the social scene. He already is in New York by the look of it!

Wow, 4 sold out shows with rave reviews and appearances from ex-members and now surprise acoustic sets?!?!?!?!

GN'R certainly are making a return! : ok:


Couldn't agree more. Things were looking very bleak on this board over the last few years.

Thanks for the pics, Will!!

Id kill to have a boot! :(

We may get a boot, check out the video recorder the guy is holding at the top of this pic


(http://ringmasterx2.free.fr/Forum_Kdo/GifsCoco/UPloads/Gnr_NYC/12.jpg)

i'm glad and thankful for whoever actually took those for wire image but whoever it was must have an axl fixation. take pics of the other members!

Oh my GOD! This is insane!
Everything is happening in the GNR world now!
Everything! Man, this is getting so crazy! Hell yeah!

Also nice to see Axl put on a new shirt, that leather one needs a break  :hihi:

Yeah, the Robin Hood look is much better :hihi:

Wow! GN'R are back and playing it very smart!

Seriously guys, these guys are a band big time. Just listen to how well they connect and blend in NY like when they just started jamming and Axl singing along before one of the songs with no rehearsal whatsoever. And then just sitting down and doing these songs accoustic with little practise and just trying the songs as they go. I remember the old line up used to say how cool it was and the buzz then they just try things and manage to pull them off, this line up is just the same!

These guys really are an awesome band!

And on another note, it's a shame the discussion immediately turns to trading for hoarded stuff etc after all this time. I wish people would just grow up and realise that GN'R won't be around forever and nor will we.. and just share!  : ok:

I really didn't think this was true, but now we've got pics and they certainly don't lie! OMG!

This is just great and I'm sure this is very good for the atmosphere within the band. And a big F*** You to all those who say that the other members only are in this for the money.

GN'R - YOU FUCKING ROCK!

This is fucking awesome. They are seriously ready to go. Axl is the man. It's the return for real. I love spontanious stuff like this. Plus acoustic shows are fucking great. Very intimate. We're in like heaven right now, all we need is the album and we're all set.

Okay, I'm officialy dead :beer:

We went from nothing to every single fucking thing.

Sold out shows, Axl on fire, band tight up, Izzy, acoustic sets, well ... I'm speechless :peace:

Guys, put CD out, like now, like right now !!

I really understand now how Axl says how the 2002 shows were really good for the band (maybe not Bucket ?:hihi: ) .. man compared to what we have just heard and seen over the last week, the 2002 don't come close in comparison to the bond this band has!

Where does he get these cool leather shirts?

He makes them himself. That's what took all the years. ChinDem ist ready since 1999, but the shirts still had to be made.  :hihi:

Wonder how Axl sounded in You're Crazy. Unreal!

And Robin with a semi-hollowed guitar? Man, I need to hear this...

Awesome! Unbelievable infact. Check out Axl's expression here!

I just realised... I think Axl's going for the Jon Bon Jovi look :hihi:

Awesome pics and story.  : ok:

This is nuts! ;D What to say? :beer: Guns And Fuckin Roses!!! :peace:

Oh yeah I want that bootleg :drool:

That suits him much better than the 50 cent look he had on the 2002 tour.

I've always been very skeptical about guns making a full comeback this time round, but now im 90% sure that they will make a comeback and that the album will be released this year? :beer:

What a extraordinary night ?:o !!Axl looks so relaxed, happy and excited,and the band too ?:beer:
..and..what a style Mr Rose ?8)

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!

Wow, I'm just fuckin speechless

Amazing.

@#$%Funker

Oh absoloutely :peace:

I love Guns N' Roses!!!!!!!

That's all i gotta say

Bring it on guys : ok:

Wow... what a show that must have been! ?How many people attended? ?From what times did they play?

Some people have all the luck!! :)

It's the return of the King.

Man I hope we get a good quality boot.

Looks like Axl was having a fun time once again. Cool pics. : ok:

P.S. What happened to those several posters who were calling "bullshit" about this performance? They sure disappeared from the thread quickly. :rofl: :hihi:

Lame.... 

yeah... he should keep the rehearsals in his ass!!  i actually don`t give a shit anymore...

2006 is the year of gnr!!   (not 2002.... :hihi:)

Agreed. How many centuries will mankind need to exist on this planet before we take notice from history that blackmail and ultimatems never, ever works out? One way or the other karma will come back and bite you in the ass.

U know, over the past 4/5 years I've been so used to waking up every day to seeing absolutely no news on this board, so all this news feels all the more special!! It's a great time to be a Guns fan!  :beer:

holy shit is all i can say.? all this stuff going on, it's got to be the real deal this time, unlike 2002.


how many people does that place hold?

I hope Axl got some of Rosario Dawson too.  That would have topped the night off very nice.

/sign.

That is fucking cool as hell. Axl looks so happy these days. There's a fire in his eyes you didn't see in 2002.

I hear ya bro! ?I am amazed when now when I come to the htgth.com and ACTUALLY see news! ?Gn'R fuckng rocks!!! ? :beer: :beer:

I am happy to see they played some different songs. ?Still no extra Illusions, but we are on the right direction (i.e. from AFD to Lies). ? :hihi:

 :beer: :beer:

this is fucking incredible

and beautiful

this time i think he means buisiness...CD 2006 mother fuckers

5 shows in 7 days!!! and who said he couldn't do it? this tour is gonna be fucking great : ok:

Ted Nugent

This is so fucking cool! You need to know, I was a fan when I was a teenager ("Ohh it was the best time I can remember") but then, as you know, GNR kind of disappeard and so I didn't really care anymore (it's a shame :nervous:).
In the end of 2005 ?I bought the Tokyo YUI-I dvd from a friend and BOOM I was back in the 90ies! I bought part II and started listening to the records again. Finally I wanted to know what's goong on with Axl and the others... Here I am, and I'm so glad how things are evolving and that I did not miss toooo much. Thanks to Jarmo and You folks!
I am biting mine and my mothers ass, because I had a ticket in 93 for a show in Frankfurt/Germany, but she did not allow me to go there, because I was too young for a rock concert :crying:.
Maybe there'll be another chance.

Really  :rofl:



Anyone I hope we get a boot of this or somethink as pointed out in one of the photos one of the guys there has a camera.

Axl isn't kidding this time guys!  We are seeing him serious about this thing.  I actually believe Chinese Democracy will be out this year.

To bad they couldnt play "One in a Million".  That would have been awesome.

Dude recording with the camera looks possibly Asian? Could be George Chin?

Maybe this will appear in an official form?

they'll never play it again


too much hard feelings and the world is way more politiccally correct than it used to be...if they played it they would basically be slitting their own throats :(

or DON'T CRY, it was only ever played acoustically once in '86 and I would of loved to hear they did it again now. (of course I just want don't cry to reappear in any setlist no matter how it's played ?:hihi:)

Wow this is soo cool...I didnt see this coming,huge suprise...Great to see the band out there togethger doing this kind of shit...Really makes me belive there back for good this time..Nice to see some stuff from Lies to...I cant even imagine the crowd when they actually came on stage and opened with Used To Love Her...What a magical moment that would have been

I love this band to

I thought the Izzy reunion was fucking amazing!!

But this is just mind blowing: a secret, all acoustic, surprise gig!!

Axl, you motherfucker, you're back!!

I just hope to God that someone managed to tape this!!!

GN'R is back people !!! I hope for a long time!!!

btw, thanks to whoever posted the pics guys!

I hope there is some sort of recording of the whole show that we can here.

 : ok: : ok: : ok: : ok: NICE!

Swashbuckling Axl ;D

(http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/8427/576536961cx.jpg)

Great photo ?:beer: . And I think that's Mr.Brownstone lyrics behind him there ?:hihi:

It's nice to see Axl so happy these days.

Just fucking wow...

God damn this is fuckin awesome.

I will gladly paypal someone $20 for a high quality soundboard boot of this show. Please let this thing get released.

fuck the world tour Axl! ?Just Play NYC every fucking night!!!!!

You really think that if this was recorded or someone got a hold of the SB they would release it for $20, no way.

And this was a Celebrity Bash, unless Lenny Kravitz was recording it we are not going to get this one  :hihi:

I know but a guy can hope.

Fine...

$40

 ? ?the camera he's holding looks like a panasonic HD, which would lead me to believe it's a member of the film crew that's documenting GNR's NY shows for that DVD...but i still hope a proper recording will surface... :yes:

OK... OK...




$100

LOL, great idea.

Now we're talking. ?It seems that maybe Axl does understand what is needed to make it in today's music scene. ?Obviously he wasn't lying when he said he just felt pressured to play in 2002. ?His approach then showed that he wasn't ready.

This is the best thing I can remember reading about on this site......ever basically. ?Good work GNR.

yeah, he definitly seemed ready and to be having fun up there

This would have made a great DVD

yep sure would....CBGB'S part two!!

Amazing!


Great to see some new additions to the setlist as well. :D




/jarmo

yeah how cool would it be if the unplugged surfaced so we had a new take on the songs..

Rosario is my dream woman :-*

Please let this be part of a DVD package... Please Axl... Stop teasing us...

sniff sniff....i smell a couple b-sides for the better single :hihi:

Loads of photos...

Those are some awesome pictures.

holy crap :o

Used to Love Her?!?

Youre Crazy?!?

Man, we better get a boot or DVD of this!

also, it seems it might be a little hard to pry axl away from NYC :hihi:

thanks for the pics dazrose

the MONSTROSITY , is alive ,its alive...ALIVE I SAID!

Bloody good stuff eh ;D

Man it warms my heart to see the guys going out and doing stuff like this.  It's good for Axl, and great for the band. : ok:

all the people who didn't believe must feel stupid now

These pics are awesome  :o  :beer: God, I wish I was there  :drool:

Nobody cares............

Could not have put it better myself! Mike P.S Their loss though! It makes you feel better when you have always believed in Axl and the rest of the band, like the majority of us have! Mike

exactly. We are in 2006 now.  :D

If there's a photo of Axl sitting at this keyboard with the sunglasses on, he surely will win every Stevie-Wonder-lookalike-contest.  :rofl:

I dig the outfit, though.

I hate Axl living in NYC....if he was in LA there would be ZERO chance of me even contemplating being able to go to things like this.  But every time I read about a sighting or a secret show, etc....I ask myself "Why wasn't I there!!" hahah.   :hihi:  This is REALLY cool, great pictures too.  Kudos for those who got to go - lucky, lucky bastards  :beer:

This is so fucking cool that they did this... and they busted out some Lies tunes too!

I noticed this too... strategically ripped jeans...  :hihi:

HAVE A NICE DDDDAAAAYYY ;D

Wow, thanks for posting those pics. ?Axl looks great and he is having a lot of fun with his band.

I'm hoping that this show was performed and recorded in order for it to appear on that DVD set. ?If that is the case... it would be amazing!!

Holy Shit!!!!!

This is unbelievable.

Now wet your pants imagining the thinks that we are going to see in the next future once the Chinesse Democaracy CD is released. It's like being part of the history of the rock. Again. After all that MTV hip hop Rnb shit music that killed the rock music, Im getting excited again. And its happening again because of the same dude: AXL.

Axl does not rocks.

AXL is the motherfucking rock himself.

Im happy

funking unreal!!!!  all i have to say...

Im not bullshitting you...

When I logged onto this board on January 13th, and read Axl had finally broken his silence, I knew this was going to be "THE" year... : ok:

Guns N' Roses are fucking back folks!

The storm has never been this close!!!

I can practically feel myself unwrapping Chinese Democracy from it's plastic prison! ;D

So Im going to ask again. This was for Rosaria Dawson's Birthday Party. All the exclusive pics said this, and there are a bunch of pics from the show. With Her on the mic at some point, and hugging Axl. Plus I see that Lenny Kravitz was there in the crowd too.

...weird.

i was at a bar right across the street last night. had no clue this was going on. i've been kicking myself all morning. i know exactly what you mean!!!!

Wouldn't be surprised if this ends up on the DVD extras. We can dream!

Man, I wish I could get hold of all the people who talked shit about "not being a real band", "hired guns", "they'll never come back", "it's too late for them now", "Axl's an asshole", "Axl doesn't care", "Axl's fat/can't sing anymore", "CD will never come out" an say...

Take 4 badass NY shows, take guest appearances from Izzy, Baz, Kid Rock, take the impromptu acoustic show, take the european tour, take the confirmed US date, take the kindness of giving fans from the boards first chance at tickets, take confirmation that CD will come out this year, and choke on your words!

The true fans have been here for the duration, and we are getting our reward. I always believed in this band, and this year will be the biggest "I told you so" in the history of ever! ?:peace:

@#$%Funker

There's a few more new photos on wireimage, at getting kissed, different shot of him on the keyboard etc...

http://www.wireimage.com/GalleryListing.asp?navtyp=gls====187331&nbc1=1

These kind of experiences are very important for the band: Hangin? out having fun, basically seeing each other in an other context then just the stage in front of a huge crowd. It will help them to appreciate each other more, create a firmer base to be able to tackle the hurdles that will appear on their path. Glad to see them having fun.

He looks like Jack Nicholson?s evil younger brother in that pic.? :P

(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a62/Slipdisc1980/Jack.jpg)

-PEACE-

This time if bach was there i wonder if he would sing my michelle instead of youre crazy.............

WOW.....
Last night when the story broke I thought maybe?
Waking up today and it feels like Xmas morning with the pics from the gig.
 :hihi:

Another report:

http://a-manifestation.livejournal.com/180324.html

Well, I was at home on the UES....but right across the street.  Man, that SUCKS!!  From the looks of it he'll be out and about plenty of other times.  Its time to move downtown for this gunner! :) hhaha

Want to give a thanks to (dave-gnfnr2k) who first posted this info last night - and who took alot of comments from doubters.
Thanks for info. : ok:

that's the exact feeling, man.. you hit the nail right on his head

That's not a question.

By the way, what i am hearing is that the "clubgoer" that AXL got into a fight with is none other than Tommy Hilfiger. Apparently, the new york papers are reporting this tomorrow with pics of the two fighting. unfortunately, thats going to be the big story.

LOLOL The Old Axl is back :hihi: :hihi: : ok:

In another thread - Interview with KROQ - Axl talks about fight and the gig last night.

In that same interview info is given that GNR will play in LA on September 23rd - Just FYI.

Hahaaaa! OhRight

It's hip, been for almost a year, vintage like jeans, ripped.

Don't you guys never open fashion mags for men ?

I love the guy, and I'm really with you - but until ChinDem hits the shelves, it's all pretty much worthless. As long as there is no album, the casual listerners won't be persuaded - and I understand that.

From the moment on that ChinDem is released - FROM then starts the New Era.

Wow I woke up to this........I eat my words as I was in disbelief.....You guys were right...but goddamn that place was really small and to anyone that saw that show.....that must have been fucking amazing.  Kudos to Axl......he's all over it this time around.

Hilarious!!!!

An this whole week is just INSANE!!!!!

Does anyone know if there are any recordings/etc of this show?

this is really great!!  we got almost nothing for the last three and a half years until january 13th and now THIS!!!

  could someone post larger images of these by the way?

http://www.wireimage.com/GalleryListing.asp?navtyp=gls====187331&nbc1=1

Doubt it.. It was a spur of the moment thing and well.. It was a private club for a B-Day party.

my favorite part is Tomy Hilfiger and Axl scrappin' because Axl moved his girlfriends drink!!! like Tommy fucking Hilfiger cant afford another drink!!!!!! and punched him because it was moved??? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: what a bitch! i used to wear that guys clothes all the time in the 90s.  ::)

How "spur of the moment" could it've been if they had the lyrics posted up on that big screen?? :confused:

Well I misunderstood what he said ont he radio show cause he said they asked him if he'd be interested in doing a few songs.. So thats where I got that from. Not that hard to mix up.

The whole thing is so surreal

Holy shit!




Shit in the span of 24 hours .Axl gets in a fight ,plays a gig and does a radio interview .Seem like homeboy is making upo for somw wasted years.

I wasn't picking on you ... I was just pointing out that it had to be a planned gig.? : ok:

This is just so awesome because it means that band is like hanging out together every night for the most part.. to just get up and go do a gig like that is fucking awesome. It shows they are having time with one another to hang out and jam out. Unfuckingbelievable........ :peace:

I feel stupid for asking this, but I honestly don't know. The pictures from the show that were posted a few pages back, who is the guy with the red knit cap and long hair?? Is that Bumblefoot?? I did a Google search of him after the first show, but he looked different in every pic. Sometimes he was cool looking with long hair and stuff, and in some he looked like a total dork. If that's him in the pics, though, I don't see why people made fun of his look. He looks like a rocker to me. Although, with my luck, it'll turn out to be Fortus instead.

Jesus fucking Christ, I'm not even away from the computer 12 hours and so much shit is fucking happening!!!  Everyone, it looks like all these years of all the let downs and shit is starting to be worth it. I haven't seen Axl smile in a picture for fucking ever.  He looked so happy at that show and I'm happy for him.  This really is going to be the year.  2006, who the fuck would have thought?  I'm in complete aww right now.  People are being so receptive to this new band and Axl, it's amazing.  This is fucking GNR and anyone that ever doubted that, can fuck off and go home, you fucking cunts!!!

yes it is Bumble : ok:

Sounds like those people had agood time, the lucky so and so's  ;D

She seems happy:

He's using a Roland, i know a singer/player (Taly) who uses one. They weigh a ton  ;D

Never seen the lyrics of the songs on a "big screen" before like they did here.

Maybe it was for people to join in for sing-a-longs?
Anyways, I hope we'll get some more in depth reviews of the show, and of course some audio or video.

-Eirik

that synth is the one that dizzy uses for play piano in the songs...

I think that was the closest thing to a teleprompter they could find.  ;D

The story on this mentions Axl saying it's the first time he's done this Karaoke style.

lol , this is awesome ! He sure is back, but still needs his telepromter.. never leaves it to chance !

I'm still recovering from last night... I'm so lucky to have met some of the amazing people that work behind-the-scenes in this band. They're the nicest, coolest people and I'm really forever grateful to some of them for making last night the greatest night of my life. It makes spending my savings account on tickets for 4 shows, waiting in line for hours and hours to get a front row spot each night, and waiting even more hours by the stage door afterwards more than worth it.
I'm not going to talk much about last night - just that I was able to hang out in the band's private room at the club, was very sweetly introduced to Axl, ended up dancing with him at one point, saw the greatest acoustic performance known to man, and had more fun than I thought was physically possible.
I've been going through some tough stuff in my personal life lately but this past week has truly brought me more happiness than I can possibly express in words. ?I'm so grateful and so humbled by this whole experience.
Dreams can come true, guys. All you need is a little patience. ?;)

That's awesome you met Axl Jenna...you were in line for hours camping out before each show. Im glad you got to see that acoustic show as well, how did his voice sound over the acoustics?  :peace:

damn jenna you are fucking lucky as shit :peace: congrats that's awesome

now tell us....you did boot it right? :-* j/k :peace:

Wow, that's awesome!  Good for you!  It's nice to see how much these shows were enjoyed, and that they were enjoyed by people who really deserved to be there because of all the loyalty they've shown the band over the years.

Ali

I bet Axl told her the name of the first single.  j/k  : ok:

Congrats on the opportunity of a lifetime!  :D

jenna. great. so plz tell me

was brain really absent?

How was the acoustic IRS? They played the song with no rehearsal, right?

the best thing is....the show was taped......so the night wasn't lost forever, we'll all get a chance to see it....whether its released in a year or booted in 5 yrs or something, we'll eventually see this!!

How do you know it was taped?

You can see an official camera guy in one of the pictures.

Ok...We have the files but how to play thsi shit .3g2 ?????
I dont konw
 :rant:

QuickTime7 ;)

it's shit though

quality i mean...thanks though : ok:

His voice was top-notch. The whole thing sounded fantastic.
No, I don't know the first single... no, I didn't bootleg it - didn't even take any pictures.
IRS sounded great, the lyrics were different on the screen so he warned everyone about singing along.
It was just a fun time. The band looked like they were having a blast. Axl was all smiles. It was a great set. Much thanks to the sound mixer for letting me stand on the ledge there so I could see. ?:)

Quicktime
I dont have it :rofl:
Going to dload this shit

download the small files and double click on the downloaded files  ;D they play in quicktime player. The quality is not so good, it looks like mobile phone footage.

That's awesome, happy to see there was some real hardcore fans that have been here for the long haul inside that show. You deserved to see them and I think draining your bank account paid off in the end with a once in a lifetime expierience. :yes: Hope everything turns out ok for you in your personal life as well. :peace:

haha awesome i didn't really expect you to and i woulda done the same....glad you lived the moment and had a great time : ok:


did you manage to catch the lyrics? at the beginning?


in particular the last line there that i bolded....it's ok if you don't remember, but if you do can you tell us what it was? :peace: thanks

thanks for more pic's can someone please make them larger?


Thanks : ok:

Shame we only have the previews, but they're good photos, especailly the last two.

Great pics. thanks. I wanna see a chris pic.

Thanks jenna  :D and what about brain? You didn't see him?


Only one camera and one staff. No brain...

I donno maybe it's for their private use?

Or a video for the B-day gal??

http://www.newgnr.com/051906_02341.3g2

 :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: to the way Axl is dancing hahahaha

Yeah good point. She is a hollywood actress, the camera's could easily just be her's filming her birthday bash for her own personal videos.

Can't open it help!

 :nervous:

Quicktime

Good thinking! I think you're right.

If so, (and not just for the band's use) it will surface soon or later i bet.

SOME FIND THE B-DAY GAL AND ASk FOR A COPY :rofl:

Hammer1 ?- Use quicktime to open.

Double click on clip - open from quicktime.

Hope this helped.

cant play the video ???

download real media player

These last several pics of Axl should've finally shut up all the retards that kept saying he was fat. From the many pics recently, Axl looks he's in GREAT shape!

could be a dumb question, but i read something that brain wasnt there? any truth to that?

01. Used To Love Her
02. Mr. Brownstone

 : ok:

BUT saying that Axl mentioned from the radio interview that he sung a VAN HALEN song with Bumblefoot started jamming to it, but thats' not mentioned on any of the reports. Maybe the setlist isn't 100%?

Does anyone else think it was a little wierd that Brain wasn't there? Especially after the "nightrain" incident from that last hammerstien show?? (by the way, how exactly did he fuck up the intro to make Axl tell him to stop?? any info is appriciated ???

in the interview on Kroq axl mentions the band


and all 8 guys are mentioned : ok:

THANKS :beer:

I couldn't even tell what songs were being played.

Rosario is hot but taken.

download the small files and double click on the downloaded files  ;D they play in quicktime player. The quality is not so good, it looks like mobile phone footage.

the first one is november rain, the second one is sweet child

Ok, I encoded those small videos into wmv, so everybody can watch it. Uploaded them on yousendit, I guess it works for everybody too:

he was sweating like a dog, or tommy drink spilled on him :hihi:

is funny that we cant never see pittman in any pic!  ;D
we dont have a good pic of him!

i really can't tell. the one where he has his glasses on might be jungle

was it a van halen song? I know they played a non-gnr song, but I was fighting the crowd at the time, so I wasn't sure what it was. And that's probably sweat, it was hot as hell in there!!

I recognized November Rain and Patience...but then again...very hard to recognize. ;D

He also mentioned some james Brown. If I heard it correctly.



That's what I've been thinking.  :-\ Maybe he's camera shy in the extreme.

That's the only clear shot of Chris I know: http://www.gnrfrance.net/gnr/groupe/galerie.php?path=/chris

so basically GNR played 5 shows in 7 days and rocked out every show.  No fucking way the hype was this big in 01 and 02, and the performances certaintly werent as good.  GNR might be back for a while, I cant wait for the NA tour hopefully in the fall.  These 5 shows left the hates eating their words.  I can't recall the last time people were like "all I heard was how awesome the shows are" blah blah blah....  I can see the DVD title right now Guns n' Roses Live at Hammerstein.  Im still pumped from the shows earlier this week !!!

Even my DAD told me how he heard that the shows were great.  My dad watches nothing but the news and the history channel.  How the hell he could describe how Axl looked and how good they sounded is beyond me.

yeah it was amazing how good that band was, no disrespect to the original group, but this current line up will kick alot of ass if they keep playing like that, even the new material sounded 100x better then it did in 02. these guys are for real

I hardly ever watch tv anymore, but a relative told me how the NY shows were even getting coverage on CNN. Not breaking news or anything, but there were a few segments, and GNR info scrolled at the bottom of the screen ocassionally.

I am so happy for you Jenna ! Being so petite I was terrified of being on the floor, I would have been crushed In Vegas if this big guy hadn't protected me. And I was too shy to hang out at the stage door! I know how you feel though, I will always cherish my memory of meeting Buckethead at the Starbuck's in Las Vegas when he had his friend chase me down the hall to give Axl my gift!

Okay, you have to tell us this much, what were you dancing to?  That must have been surreal!

i think the last clip is used to love her. axl seems to have a tamborine in his hand.

I haven't heard anything about this. Anyone?

you met buckethead in starbucks??? whoa, that is nuts.  what did he look like in there???

oldies! I vaguely remember hearing Aretha Franklin... Honestly, it's kind of a blur, he was there for a couple songs.... I remember there was a really small group of us dancing, maybe 5 people, and suddenly he was in the middle of the group, he was dancing with some other people and then somehow the group kinda split apart and he ended up in front of me and we were dancing for a while.
Surreal doesn't even begin to explain it. The man can sure move! ;D? Afterwards I was standing around grinning like an idiot and someone came over and said "You looked like you were having fun dancing with Axl" and I was like "Say that again a couple times... I just love the way it sounds!" :hihi:

Excuse my ignorance...who is Rosario Dawson?

^ an actress  http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0206257/

Ah thanks, I haven't watched Sin City yet which is probably why I don't recognise her

DazRose01 - I was thinking that too! Jon has the same brown jacket lol

Jennaside that's amazing that you experienced this! Looking forward to hearing more!

How did you get into this thing? Are you in any of the pics?

I don't think Jarmo wants us to say what Buckethead looks like but I thought he was cute!

damn he is sweating pretty bad. thats the price you pay for rocking hard  :smoking:

totally agree with you. this time around gn'r wil fucking rock. i'm trying to bury 2002 in the back of my head  :P it was a depressing year for gnr fans.

How did you recognize him? Tell us more about this!? :beer:

Alright, I think it had to do with Kid Rock coming out. They started 'Nightrain' and it sounded great, then Axl said "Stop it! Stop it!" and they stopped, Robin took his guitar off (I think he had the wrong one on). But I thought "Oh fuck!" Then Axl said something like "Now you can see we're Guns N' Roses" and Tommy (I think) said "Yeah, this ain't no Britney Spears bullshit!", but I didn't hear a mistake. So they started again, played the intro, sang the "Loaded like a freight train. etc.) part, Axl said "One more time!", they sang it again, then he said "Ladies and gentlemen, Kid Rock!", so I think it was a joke or something. I dunno.

I've been coming to this site to read all the rumors, news, etc. for the past 8 years, and this is my first post, I can't believe that now almost all the rumors are coming to be true.
I LOVE GUNS N ROSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

To fully appreciate this story you need to understand that I am a rather naive person and THE ABSOLUTE ANTITHESIS OF A GROUPIE! 4 ?years ago I attended the GNR concert at the Joint In Las Vegas. In the past i have met alot of theater actors after the show to get their autograph and I had never attnded a concert of a serious rock group like GNR. Anyway I have been in love with Axl ever since I saw the November Rain video. I brought a spritually themed gift to give to Axl that basically said that he was the BEeethoven of Rock music. I approached a few people about giving the gift to him and they all refused. One of them, the band photographer Robert John was so mean to me that I almost burst into tears. I even said, "I'm not some bimbo that just wants to sleep with him" Anyway I was able to be up in front right in front of Buckethead. I noticed that Buckethead was looking at me through the mask. I also made the mistake of asking one of the roadies about the gift because he was mean too. I had a great time at the concert and at the end I think I met one of the mangers possibly Doug Goldstein, he was very nice ?but said that he didn't think that he could give Axl a wrapped gift. He told me to wait a minute but then Robert John came back and yelled at me again and I left. The next day I was eating breakfast and when I left the restaurant I saw Robert John, and I was afraid that he was going to yell at me again. I was fighting back the tears and I started to run down the hall to get away from him. ?I ran past Starbuck's and this cute guy in the window smiled at me. A few seconds later a girl came chasing after me and she said, "EXCUSE ME, YOU WERE THE ONE WITH THE PRESENT FOR AXL, YOU WERE STANDING IN THE FRONT ROW. I'M FRIENDS WITH SOMEONE IN THE BAND AND HE WILL GIVE IT TO HIM'. I thanked the cute guy and said that I had to get it out of my luggage. I came back and handed the gift to him and I said "THANKYOU, WHICH GUY ARE YOU?" And he said "I"M BUCKETHEAD". I asked him why he wore the mask and he said that he was just shy. I asked when the albumn was coing out and he said, "I DON"T KNOW, I'M TAKING THINGS ONE DAY AT A TIME.I then asked if I could give him a hug and he let me. I will never forgive myself for saying, "YOU ARE JUST AS GOOD AS SLASH!" I know that it was him because I have seen pictures of him on the internet and i wrote to him and he wrote back When I go to his solo shows in Chicago he always hands me a toy and he holds onto it until I get it, even when people are trying to tackle me for it. I once asked a psychic how he knew about the gift, ?and she said that he was friends with the roadie who told  him that" THAT STUPID BITCH WANTED ME TO GIVE A PRESENT TO AXL FOR HER". I will be eternally grateful to Buckethead for his kindness and will always remain his fan. :beer:

wow nice story   : ok:

That's awesome, I've always thought Buckethead was a good guy, some people just don't understand him... fucking awesome that he gave Axl your gift... great story. : ok:

Buckethead is a gentle and sweet individual. thanks for sharing this story. One day, I hope we hear what happened to prompt so many rude comments from Tommy and others in the band about this guy.

Uh...jealousy? Its obvious going by these demos that BH was kicking the most ass in the studio. He is the highlight on each song he plays on. Tommy's contributions on what we have heard so far are pretty much irrelevant.

They aren't making any covers of Megadeth's "Peace Sells". Bass isn't featured prominently. But without Tommy nobody here would know about Buckethead because this band never would've done ANYTHING.

What are you talking about?? Do we have a blind Stinson worshipper in the house? :hihi:

No one ever said GNR was remaking 'Peace Sells..".

How come? For example, Robin wrote "Better". To say Buckethead is the highlight of the song because of the few "special effects" he adds is a bit too much. Same for Blues (Robin lead), Chinese Democracy (Robin lead), IRS (Robin lead with one BH solo) and TWAT (same as IRS).

Where were you during the leak craze raving on Finck? Bh got the most positive response on these demos. Not Robin. I'm not saying Robin sucks on the songs, but its a fact that BH was the highlight. Everyone but Nesquick said it time after time in thread after thread. Where's the rave on Stinson's contributions thread? During the past few months, NOBODY ever mentioned the quality of what he did. Finck got some kudos(deservedly), but you cant deny the impact of BH. I know alot of you BH haters like to try, but its an impossible mission.

During the leaks I was here as always, and I was happy not only with Robin's work but with the whole band (and Brian May :)).

I'm not a Buckethead hater, in fact I love him and I'm sad he decided to quit Guns N' Roses. However, if you check who's playing what you'll see it's Robin that plays lead most of the time on the new songs, not Bucket. I assume you've downloaded the 100MB video from Friday night?

At what point did I say BH plays all the lead?? I would like you to dig up a post where I said that. The fact that he isn't playing "most of the lead" but is being raved on more than anyone else in the band only proves my point even further. you can rave on Finck all you want. But trying to belittle BH's contributions to raise up Finck's is ridiculous. Just go climb Mount Everest. It will be a much easier task than trying to take BH down a level.

We are way off topic. If you want to continue this debate, go create a thread dealing with each member's contributions to CD. : ok:

At what point did I say you said that? Damn you love to put words in other peoples mouths. And I don't dig posts, there are better things to do.

I guess I just haven't been reading the same forums as you when you say Buckethead has been getting the most praise, specially considering most people love the new songs and Robin is responsible for most of the guitar work on them. It's simple logic from this point...

Oh, you can take up on your offer to continue this elsewhere if you want.

No...!
Can you post the link please?

Go read the all the threads in this section in the 2 months since the leaks happened. Do your own personal Finck BH poll. Tally the votes. BH wins by a Mt. Everest sized landslide.


Step away from your Finck poster for a minute. Claiming Finck did "most of the guitar work" is ludicrous. There have been 4 guitarists in GNR over the past 6 years. You are in fantasy land if you think BH, Huge, and Fortus did nothing while Finck did "most".

We know that for a fact, at least for the songs we heard.

Lara, actually go to http://www.newgnr.com/dloads/video/ to get the two clips.

Thanx  : ok:

I'm just saying, as a lead guitarist it's easier to be better "recognized" than a bassist, and these songs just haven't featured bass much, probably through no fault of Tommy's. I saw a show in 2002 and Buckethead blew me away with his playing, but I'm going to take the side of the band in the whole "GNR vs. Buckethead" discussion.

Well I guess Tommy doesn't really hate BH but he hates the fact he left like that.
You'd be bitter if your QB quit right before an important game.

And surely robin has a great talent for song writing.

November Rain clip - good quality :)

ace clip dude

What a beautiful clip..It is a very intense version? :love: .. I have the shivers for the emotion? :'( ..people who has been there are very lucky!!

Axl pic in OK! Weekly >> Issue #22 >> June 5 2006

good call :hihi:

i talk to this girl on AIM and she's really cool, she really deserved this amazing experienced and her signature is right, she really is the luckiest girl alive :yes:

Was that done on a phone or video cam?


 :peace:

I came across these pictures of Miss Dawson today.  I gotta admit before Guns played her party I had no idea who she was, but she's pretty nice looking.

http://wwtdd.com/index.php?type=one&i=982

I found this pic from Rosario Dawson's party of Kat Mack with Dyan O'Connor.  I wonder which girl Axl was dating that night  ;)

It's the one on the right.  Micky Rouke looks fucked up.

anyone would after all that bullshit he got done!!

I was just kidding when I said that about which one... But if the Hilfiger fight was really over Dyan O'Connor, it would make sense that he was still seeing her at the time, and she's the one in the middle.
