  1. If Axl did show up the crowd would have probably just rioted during Mix Master Mike's set.

    What the hell is up with him opening on this tour anyways?

    If Axl shows up and I don't have to pay a dime I'm gonna check out the ACC show. I used to love them, mind you I know this current tour is not "them". The new band sounds interesting to say the least. Plus hearing the Mix Master's patented tweek scratch on Welcome To The Jungle will be sweet.

  2. Thousands of fans rioted for about an hour outside GM Place in downtown Vancouver on Thursday night after Axl Rose, the lead singer of Guns N' Roses, failed to appear for a concert.

    It was to have been the first show of the rock band's North American leg of its Chinese Democracy World Tour. Guns N' Roses has a history of concert no-shows.

    A band spokesman said poor weather conditions at Los Angeles airport made it impossible for Rose's plane to fly.

    Staff at concert promoter Clear Channel Entertainment weren't available for comment, however, a band spokesman said the performance scheduled Friday in Tacoma, Wash., would go ahead.

    The band rehearsed Wednesday in GM Place without Rose, who rarely rehearses with his band.

    The trouble began when the venue doors didn't open as scheduled at 6:30 p.m. Some people in the lineup began leading chants of "B.S., B.S."

    Ticket sales wickets were shut down and when the official announcement came over the loudspeakers at 7:40 p.m., tempers flared.

    "That's it, I'm trashing all my GNR stuff," said fan Dana Claydon. "I've been waiting for this since '93 when Axl cancelled the last time. What a jerk."

    Within 15 minutes, the upset crowd turned into an angry mob smashing some GM Place windows.

    Police cars began arriving and police and stadium security began to move the crowd away from the broken windows.

    After a Roman candle was fired off in the direction of officers, police advanced and told people to disperse.

    Most did, however, some rowdies began smashing ticket sales windows and throwing rocks at police from the parking lot across from the stadium.

    Alysha Stephanischin, 22, of Japser, Alta., was one of the people caught between the two sides and wound up being struck by a billy club.

    "I don't blame the officer, there was so much going on, but we weren't dong anything," she said through tears. "I really wish we didn't come tonight, I didn't even want to."

    Jim and Stacy Stelmacher of Port Alberni, B.C., came for the day to hook up with Ryan Stookert and Angie Beers who flew in from Calgary just for the show that was supposed to be a birthday surprise for Stookert, a DJ at CJAY radio.

    "What a great present, but I guess I just was never meant to see this band," Stookert said. "We're getting out of here now."

    Refunds for the show will be available at point of purchase Nov. 14.

  3. The line-up for the 14th Annual Warren Haynes Christmas Jam has been announced. The show, which will benefit Habitat for Humanity, will take place December 21 at the Civic Center in Asheville, NC. Featured performers are Gov’t Mule, Bob Weir, moe., the John Hiatt Band and Robert Randolph & The Family Band. Special guests include Dave Schools, Audley Freed, DJ Logic, John Molo, Rob Barraco, Joey Arkenstat (the mystery man himself), Kevn Kinney, Edwin McCain and Jerry Joseph. Other surprises are expected.

    Sounds like a road trip I might have to make.

  5. Someone at the Zone last night told me that people who had purchased these new Live Phish releases got a small sticker that claimed there was a new studio Phish album being released in early December.

    I also read at allstar.com that an Elektra spokesperson said that the band went into rehersals and wound up recording 20 new songs in 3 days. They also said the new songs sound more like the band's "earlier" material.

    Anyone else hear about this?
