Very tempting. They go on sale in a couple of days for the House of Blues of all places. Anyone know if Axl can still sing? Its a fucking Sunday night show with a 10 pm start. I cant decide. There is a rumor that they all might get back together.

I'm going to try and check this out, but tickets will probably be gone instantly.

Edit: Nevermind, tickets $125/each. Fuck that.

I watched a that Metal Show special interview with Axl and while he is puffy they showed some clips from the shows and he seems ok. Seemed to sing the new material better than the old material....would be a specatcle to see them in such a small venue but like douchebag said 125 bucks is too much.

Ah, but you admitted that you hate and do not respect "The Blues", Doug, and. as GNR are heavily blues-based, IMO it is only fair to look to you for opinions on "Hipster" music.


Please find that quote.
btw: All Metal is blues based.

"Hipster" music

Bret Michaels is coming to the Metropolis in Arlington Heights. I was going to take my wife to that.
He sings "Every Rose" for 2 hours.

I appreciate it for what it is...like Country music. But, I do not listen to Blues for enjoyment.

That's really not a nice thing to say about your wife.

No, I was referring to Guns N' Roses. In 1987, they rocked big time. Come 1991, when the band released "Use Your Illusion I & II", it started just fine with "You Could Be Mine" from the "Terminator 2" soundtrack. They soured badly with the tracks "Don't Cry" & "November Rain". Along the way, guys like Matt Sorum & Izzy Stradlin left on less than flattering terms and lead singer Axl Rose became a first class jerk. They've lost me ever since.

No, but I heard that he gets up around 7, gets out of bed around 9, gets on the bus about 11, sippin' a drink and feelin' fine.

You should get a suspension for referring to the group that's playing HOB as "Guns and Roses"

Please fix to reflect reality. "Axl and Session Player Friends"

Yeah but its still Axl. To think you can hear that guy sing Mr. Brownstone live again. With the original guys or not, I'm leaning towards doin it. Like I said, I'm reading rumors of a reunion because GnR is going into the RR Hall of fame this year. Im also hearing that all of the guys are up for it except for Axl. Can you say "special guest Slash"?

They go on sale Thursday morning I think. And I got Van Halen the next Friday. Oh yeah, and KOOL AND THE GANG!

Yeah, it's worth it. His voice is just fuckin' fine and the band is tight and talented. Good stage show as well. BUT, I gotta think the HoB show will be stripped down and raw which would be awesome.

$125 is steep...I don't care who you are. *Unless it's for charity...

I agree. I don't think I've ever seen a club show that steep unless it's a benefit. The most I ever paid for a club show was $80, and that was on New Years Eve. Usually venues don't gouge people when special gigs like this come through town.
