September 2004 they played one show there.
January 2005 they played two nights in a row and also a night at Brixton Academy - so three nights in London.

Who are the openers tonight?

I saw Bumblefoot after the GNR gig at the Apollo. Im gonna hang around afterwards again. Round the corner on the street is the door where the band should leave to get to their coaches or whatever they arived in.

How's the first photo with the two posers! LOL! Mid life crisis city!!!

And I still say that Slash does NOT look happy there.......his guitar stance used to be? a lot more commanding.

Funny Axl today looks more like a muso than these guys......big change from the kilts!

Not sure what YOU'RE talking about.  Midlife crisis?  Yeah, right.   And WTF's a "muso"?!? 


Title: Re: June 5th '07 - Hammersmith Apollo, London, UK
Post by: stolat on June 08, 2007, 08:21:05 PM
Just stating what I see. Muso is aussie slang for serious musician. Axl looks real, these guys look full of botox.....

Not at all. It is you that has just made the negative comment. Constructive criticsim only. Don't get so defensive. Don't take it GnR vs Vr and you'll be ok....

These guys are the real deal, seen em 3 times in the uk now (manchester 04, hammersmith 05 and download 07) and everytime theyv been amazing.

How you can judge Slash's performance from amatuer shots is astounding. And belive me they all seemed happy and realy into it at download and everytime iveseen them : ok:
