what does this text say?:

Występ Guns n' Roses, fenomenalnych gigant?w rocka, jednego z największych zespoł?w wszech czas?w, został potwierdzony jako gł?wna atrakcja koncertu, kt?ry odbędzie się 15 czerwca na stadionie Legii w Warszawie.

W ciągu ostatniej dekady występy Guns N' Roses należały do prawdziwej rzadkości. Agencja koncertowa Odyssey z przyjemnością może potwierdzić, ze będzie wyłącznym organizatorem jedynego w Polsce w 2006 roku koncertu zespołu. Zapowiedziany koncert jak r?wnież ukazanie się na rynku długo oczekiwanego albumu zespołu zapowiada wspaniały rok dla Guns N' Roses oraz ich zagorzałych fan?w.

Wokalista Guns n' Roses, Axl Rose powiedział: "Wielka Brytania oraz Europa zawsze były dla mnie wyjątkowymi miejscami. Po naszych ostatnich koncertach tam, z niecierpliwością oczekujemy na powr?t przed tak wspaniałą widownię. To dla mnie honor i przywilej, na kt?ry wszyscy pracujemy. Cieszymy się na spotkanie z wami tego lata!"

It's nothing special - It's said that the concert was confirmed and will be played on 15.06.; some facts about the history of new gnr and chinese democracy and also an Axl's comment: "Great Britain and Europe were always a special plays for me. We can't wait to the return there. It's a honor for me, that are we workin on. We're very happy to meet with U this summer".

[speed-stone]

how many tickets are sold for this show? i'm curious about the east european shows...

[Michael_Stradlin]

I have no idea but I think it's not so good... ya know it's 25,000 tickets to sell... all I know the VIP section is sold but I went two days ago to buy a ticket - without problems of course so... O got some worries that the stadium won't have those 25000 fans... ;/

[hideo]

i'm going there !

[Michael_Stradlin]

http://muzyka.onet.pl/10174,1325218,newsy.html (onet.pl)

one of the two bands that will support GNR is a polish band called Oddzial Zamkniety

I thought there's no possibility to 25000 people come to this show but I've heard from my friend that many people outside of the country are comin so.. I've changed my opinion

[krelke]

if you goin to Warsaw you must have white or red rose(not Axl Rose  )

[umwagew]

I'm going 2 ))
15 years of waiting..


Speed-stone, Poland IS NOT an Eastern European country. Belarus is, Ukraine is. Poland is in central Europe

[zqyx79]

Second support is polish band Kobranocka. I'll be there

[Mandy.]

These I took yesterday. I think it was in Krakow, but I'm not sure... anyway, it was somewhere on the way to Auschwitz.







And these were on a random door in Krakow.

[rocking_rob]

Hi, does anyone know if the concert will really start at 3pm?  Is this a normal time in Poland?  I'm from the UK and here doors never open until 7pm and then the band might get on stage around 9pm if your lucky (or 11pm when Axl is involved!). 

BTW I managed to get my ticket without any trouble from www.tickepro.pl - someone said they did not know if tickets could be baught from outside Poland...

[umwagew]

They open the gates at 3 pm. There will be supporting bands. One of them is Kobranocka if I remember correctly.... I think GN'R will play like usual. Late

I asked my boss for a day off on Friday. I don't believe I'll come back soon enough to make it to the office

[zqyx79]

Gn'R will play 15 June here.
Supports are: Kobranocka,Oddział Zamknięty<polish rock bands> Sebastian Bach with his band and 650 North (Indiana)  Izzy will play as a guest here.
So it's gonna be great show :)Only two days.

[rocking_rob]

Thanks for the info guys.  Just looked again at http://www.odyssey.pl/koncerty_e.html and they now have some times.  They don't list Seb's band yet but GNR are supposed to be on at 21:15 :-)  Might be tempted to watch the football somewhere first!

Can't wait and really hope Izzy shows up - never seen him live.

[hideo]

16.00 - North 650
17.00 - Kobranocka
18.30 - Oddzial Zamkniety
20.00 - Sebastian Bach

They should have cancelled the opening bands to show the match.

[Agata]

Well, late review, but still...
The show started earlier than planned, 8.35, so the wait wasn't much of a drag for me as I got there past seven, when Sebastian was still performing. One of his people spoke some pretty good Polish. Anybody know anything about his roots? 

The early start caught us sort of by surprise, and was the more so thrilling. I was close to the stage, third row, to the right, so I had a good view. It started as usual with Welcome To The Jungle, followed by It's So Easy and Mr. Brownstone. Somewhere between those songs Axl called us 'a great, great, great crowd', which made my little self happy 'cause I didn't want him to be disappointed with his very first impression of Poland and our audience. Sadly, we were not included in the Use Your Illusion Tour.

The fifteen years of waiting proved to be so much rewarding! I can't give you the full setlist, but I think that the next one was Better, before which Axl said that maybe we've been very, very bad and got this song off the Internet. As you know, some of us were pretty bad  . We were chanting "Guns N' Roses" pretty much in between every song, which hightened the atmosphere, and the level of energy was amazing. People screamed and sang to every song, which made the "I sing one and you sing one" in Knockin' On Heaven's Door impossible 'cause we were doing Axl's parts as well. 

Out of the new songs, besides Better, we heard The Blues, Chinese Democracy, Madagascar and IRS. Izzy joined the band for a couple of songs, and Sebastian for My Michelle which sounded great in the duo.

Axl Looked cool in his rock style clothing, and sounded orgasmic  . He was relaxed and in a good mood, and joked with Tommy about standing on stage and basically having fun, watching beautiful sunset. The setlist, including particular members' solos, was pretty similar to the previous shows.

All in all the night was perfect, easily one of the best in my life. If I was to ask for something more, that would probably be Rocket Queen...

I must also say that the show was much better than the Budapest one I attended two weeks ago. First of all, it was longer (two and a half hours), and the attitude of the band members was more laid-back and high-spirited, which made our hearts grow and vocal cords burst... Thank You Lord for Axl Rose!

[Pneu]

Few notes from the show:

Robin wore red socks and white pants which made white/red colours of the national flag of Poland?

During his piano jam Axl mimicked Ray Charles?

About 5 unconscious girls were dragged out of the crowd by the people and security during the show.?

During Patience Axl wraps himself in a Polish flag with a new GNR logo and a sign "Welcome To Poland" thrown by a fan.?

During Paradise City Axl runs around the stage with another fan made flag saying: "Axl Take Us To The Paradise City!"?

how many tickets are sold for this show? i'm curious about the east european shows...

audience in Poland : 20000

[Michael_Stradlin]

it's not true

before the show we asked guys from odyssey about the tickets and they answered they still had 13,000 tickets available to buy... so if Legia Stadium can get 25,000 there were 12,000 fans

[krelke]

My project from this fuckin amazing show! I was there...

my fault.

[YAlex]

polish tv spoke, that one day before a concert there were not sold about 3000 tickets

[YAlex]

Poland IS NOT an Eastern European country. Belarus is, Ukraine is. Poland is in central Europe

Esteem such science as geography. The geographical center of the Europe is in Ukraine
And from the political point of view - Poland always was in the East Europe

[stolat]

Sorry - Poland is in central Europe!

Happy 3rd May fellow Polaks! Today we celebrate the anniversary of our constitution!
The second one written in the world!!!!!!!
