I was there monday night. I did not get to meet anyone from the board. There were some cool people there. I wanted to go to mustang harrys but got in town late due to tracffic accident on 78.  I got hammered before gunr came on that I could barely move the first 4 or so songs of there setlis. I do not normally do any funny stuff but I was cuaght up in the moment. It was like being in a coma, I could hear everything but I could not move.

Unfortunately, I can't do more than 2 concerts without getting divorced, so I can't make it tonight.

Hahahha I really feel sorry for you man!

Yes, its hilarious.   I hope you marry Rosie O'Donnell.

Feels great to know I gave up my ticket for the night Izzy shows up.  Someone hook me up with a gallon of kerosene.  And a match.

Loved meeting everyone on Monday.  The "huddle" around the bar was a blast!!  We shot the shit for like 4 hours...and it seemed like 4 minutes.

We all SERIOUSLY need to start talking about an annual HTGTH "convention" if GnR start touring regularly now.  One show a year, we all converge on that city.  It was good times, for sure!

The "Gimme some TWAT" sign, in line, was one of the highlights, man.  As well as harassing the passersby for high fives while "wielding" that sign..

Oh, and seeing the Blue Meanie walking down the street with his girl, and starting an E-C-dub chant.

[mikegiuliana]

great meeting eevryone last night too, matt was a cool dude..... Again had a nice time with little fly, saw barbie, axlsis, jazjame moondance, just everyone it was great..

The pre party rocked yesterday, took a while to pick up then it was flooded

[darknemus]

It was insanely cool meeting all of you.  In addition, I want to thank everyone who pretty much didn't let me buy my own drinks, like ever.  Definitely a nice gesture.  You guys were great (girls, too) and I look forward to doing this again.

Peace out,

I hooked up with Kujo on the 15th and what a mistake that was.

I went out to buy the guy a beer and when I came back he was hitting on my wife. He kept saying to her:"Who da King baby, who da King?!?"

I thought after a couple of beers he would calm down but he only got more excited and after a certain point it was obvious this guy had turrets. At the end of November Rain he started screaming "Are there any Jews in the crowd? Any Jews here tonight?!!?" He must have screamed that 5 times through the night. I had no idea of what he was talking about.

Finally at the end he stole my umbrella and ran down the 34th street singing "Always look on the bright side of life."

I have not seen him or my umbrella since..........

Edit: He also took 5 dollars and latest Michael Moore book out of my hotel room (preshow.)

*********

I should have hooked up with Bono instead, as he sounded like a nice guy on the phone. It began to pour while I was out and I had to run back to the hotel to put dry clothes on. I didn't want to go to the venue soaking wet, and I had some time. I ended up leaving my cell back in the room and found out he gave me a bell later that night.

So my sincere apologies to Bono, sorry I missed you dude. I bet you would not have grabbed my wife's ass, stolen my money and pissed off half of NY with crazy Hebrew rants.

********

Edit: I also met this young guy in passing. Asked him where he was from and he said "UK, going to see them in Ireland (If I remember right) next." Didn't catch his name......you reading this dude? Who were you? Nice to meet you anyway.

Met another guy from Maryland to the right of me. He had been to the show prior and had video clips he was showing me of Axl on his phone. One of many hardcore GnR fans I saw that night. You reading this, Mr Hardcore GnR fan from Maryland?

Breakfast joint at the bottom of the NYer was packed with other rabid GnR fanatics, talking lustfully and in great detail of the new songs.

The whole thing was just barely a step above a Star Trek convention really.........

[D]

SLC and Kujo together?

Good thing New York doesnt have a large sheep population, thats all I can say.

[pilferk]

Hey SLC!

I was sorry I missed ya...though were you at Mustang's at some point?  I think you might have been just as dark, Axlgunner, and I left...

[SLCPUNK]

Hey SLC!

Would have liked to say hello.......

We got 3 hours sleep the night before. Got to our hotel around 3 or so. Went out to eat and then came back to the room and took a "disco nap" until 6-7ish. So I never got to Mustangs.......

The venue was literally right next to my hotel.

[Kujo]

Well the lasting image for me was walking out of the show Sunday night and seeing mikeguiliani holding up a black "Slash" shirt, yelling at everyone passing by: "This is GnR, anyone have a problem with that?" I also enjoyed the first night when Mike gave me my ticket for mondays show, and then about 30 minutes later came upto me and asked if I knew where kujo was because he had a ticket for him Mike was fun.

On the other hand there was SLC

Getting to see SLC in person was, well, interesting . I saved some seats for him and his wife, and he shows up carrying a folder of pictures. Whenever anyone around us would make a comment, his wife would whisper in his ear and SLC would start sorting through his pictures until he found one he liked and would wave it around for anyone to see. I'm not sure if he even heard any of the concert as he spent most of the time debating politics with the back wall of the venue. Except for politics, the only words he would say were "Ni, NI" and ask for shrubbery. For some reason he kept wanting to be called "Prince Herbert" not sure what that was all about.

I had a great time in NYC.  Amazing time, actually. 

I met a few members of the forum as well.  Sometimes, I didn't say who I was, and sometimes I did make a mention of my nickname. 

But yeah, I saw YoungGunner at Monday night's show, as well as talked with Crashdiet (such a nice guy!! ) and Mysteron (if that really was you... hehe... just call me a doubting Thomas ).  I also saw Mr. Intensity pace the line a few times...

Over all, my 4 days in NYC was an incredible experience, and I can't wait to do it all over again.  However, hopefully, there will never again be a 4 year gap between concerts.  I just can't wait until some American fall dates will be added to the concert listings.  Oh yeah... some Canadian dates would be ultra good as well!

[mikegiuliana]

met jim bob last night, we had a nice chat the raven crash diet,? madagas, little fly, jenna side,? rosetta barbie moondance , the dude who dresses like axl, axlsis, etc.. great people great time
How can I forget younggunner always a pleasure..
everyone was hammered asking workout questions, all i did was 12 ounce curls

yeah kujo i got a little emotional, i still have such a hard time looking onstage.. maybe it's cause of all the old stuff they play

[Deez Nuts]

Hey Gunners it was great meeting you all! 

I can't remember half of the people I met, but some names I remember: Madagas, Mr. Madagascar, DizzyReed(some # after it), Ifinglv(i think axl rose), Moondance, Mr. Intensity, Pilferk, Darknemus, Bono, MikeG, Madagascar88, some teacher who wouldn't disclose her screen name to me, jazjme, colma, Crashdiet, Hannah Hat.

Does anyone have the preparty picture from the 15th?

I was the one wearing the blue shirt that said "Mysteron" on it.  It was funny as hell cause some people got the joke right away and others were baffled and started thanking me.  Like why the hell if I was Mysteron would I wear a shirt with my name on it telling the world who I was.  I was walking by the line and everyone was like, "thanks for the presales" and in the bathroom and a couple knew that I wasn't him and just started laughing when they heard people thanking me.  After a while I just went along with it. 

Good times New York, good times. 

[mikegiuliana]

there is a pre party pic thread but the 15th seems to be missing, I know dark took pics that day but hasn't posted them yet.. He probably would have a pic with you in there...

[darknemus]

I have pics from the 15th.  I'll get them online sometime today - been a busy few days for me

-darknemus

[Bono]

I actually didn't get to meet as many members as i thought I would. I actually met alot of members hwo say they only read and never post so I didn't recognize their names. It was cool meeting G n F n R. Actually went out for a bite to eat and to a comedy club with him the night before the show on the 15th. Cool guy. Deez Nuts was a blast. freaking hilarious. Apparently the girl I was with is his dream girl. He made sure to tell me so and then made his feelings clear to her as well I forget their names but the guys from Boston were hilarious and the guys from St. Louis were great to hang out with also. I swear Emon was following me to the bathroom everytime Just kididng man. Mike as for you man hopefully we'll meet again when you're in better shape. Too funny. You seemd like you had been on a  bender for a week straight. You were holding it together pretty well considering. Talking clearly and aware of your surroundings. just tired and a wee bit drunk All in all to be honest the Guns fans I met were a million times more down to earth and normal than i had expected. You know you kind of expect GnR fans to be a little bit on the loose cannon side. Cheers to all I met. I had a great time.

that was it, i went to the 12th, and 14th, i drank non stop, then by the time you showed up there add another 5-6 hours and I just couldn't go on, I needed rest..I don't think there was an ounce of water in my system.. Lets say it was a long time since i had drank before the 4 shows and it'll be a long time after as well..

[Deez Nuts]

I gotta admit I was a little bummed not being able to shoot the shit with you Mike, but now that I look back at it, I'm glad you were hammered cause that's what the whole GNR experience is about.  We weren't at a Celene Dion preparty. 

My last memory of you was you stumbling around mumbling incoherrently "wheeeeeeeere's jazzzzzzzzzz JAYME", haha, good stuff.
