mister slippery Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 I've entered every contest out there, trying not to spend too much money right now, and especially for a very unproven GNR, but have had no luck.No, they are not playing together, if my thread title might be unclear.My question is this? Anyone have access to cheap/free tix for either of these? Seems to me there were tix won by some folks here through SCENE, and I wondered if somebody won, but wasn't gonna use em. I will buy em off you.Otherwise, I'll check stubhub as they approach, just thought I'd see if this might turn anything up.Thanks in advance, you wonderful people.

ollie Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Anyone heard how the recent GnR shows are going? Last time they played Ottawa they didn't start until something like 3 hours after schedule. For that reason alone I'm not going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau. Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 I got the email from Scene a couple days ago saying I won tix for GnR in Hamilton. A buddy and myself are using them though, if I hear of anyone else not using them I'll diret em your way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody said that there were shows in Japan (i think) which were 3plus hours in length, but i know little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Co-worker told me about it the next day and it sounded like the shittiest time ever. Concession service had been long shutdown before they hit the stage.

Booche Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 If it wasnt for the late start, what was your reason for not going last time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatPhish Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 perhaps a little off topic But once Douglas and I ( and some other fine ladies) went to see a GNR cover band with a Motley Crue opening cover band- same guys different costumes...it was classic.

ollie Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 If it wasnt for the late start, what was your reason for not going last time?I don't really remember, might have had something to do with Axl's already established pattern of blowing off shows. Plus it was before Chinese Democracy came out which I actually like and would be my main impetus for going to see them live now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Johnson Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Set List for lat show in Dec in Japan... I don`t see how they can be starting all that late if they`re playing this many songs. Looks like tonight is the first Canadian gig in Winnipeg though, so hopefully that will give us an idea of how stable Axel is after his christmas break. Oh, and if you click on "14. DJ Ashba Guitar Solo" you get youtube footage of their new guitarist, and he seems aaight I guess. Little too much of a Slash wannabe though.I still would like to go to the show in halifax. Last time they came through Toronto I went to Primus instead and it turns out I could have made both shows as GNR didn`t go on stage untill after 11:00 as well (or so I heard).

mister slippery Posted January 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Sorry Julia, I didn't intend this as a "Lets ask Julia for stuff" kinda thread, just hoping for some luck. You've hooked me, and a lot of this board, up with various goodies in the past, and I hope you know how much you are appreciated. All the best.

mister slippery Posted January 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 HaMike - That's a great review, very humorously written. I love the reviewer getting sleepier throughout the LONG show.BWM - thanks for the tip, I'll try it when I get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im bored by the set list though, and re-thinking my desire to go to the show. There's not one song that isn't incredibly safe in the whole thing (aside form the democracy tracks). Would it kill them to throw in a Dust n Bones or Bad Obsession? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
