Russ, you have achieved greatness! I think this deserves a round of applause.  I..mean...Roger fucking...Waters! One of the true visionaries of rock music. I mean...Pink Floyd...! On the day of the show..that's quite impressive. I just don't know how this thread could get any better! I have no other words for the previous post.

I WILL MAKE THIS SHOW ON JULY 12'TH!!! OH..YES...!!!

Trust me man, I hear ya. I went into shock about 10 minutes after posting those pictures here. It was just amazing, something I've always wanted to do but never thought possible.

holy shit....I am suprised you got that close. I was looking for a handgun to the back of your head! Awesome.

This is where my job helps out actually. I'm in field marketing and my market is pretty much all of Southeast Detroit. So yesterday I purposely routed my work to include my accounts around Joe Louis Arena. At one point I polled around behind the venue and asked security what the chances of meeting Roger were. Dude told me about when he would be there and said he's usually happy to stop, talk and sign for fans as long as they're not 'eBay people'. So long story short, I waited around til the right time and a dream came true.

Just ordered tickets for Nashville. Strangely enough I got VERY similar seats that I bought for GNR concert. same section, few rows higher but got aisle seats! Cannot wait!

When is your show D? I know the tour is coming to a close soon but I don't know where else they have to stop and when.

Hey Russ, Axl called me, told me to tell you...

YOU 'DA MAN! Even he's been aching for that autograph.  x "Mother" = Good sweet jesus.

YOU'RE TELLING ME! I honestly bet I could tell Axl I met Roger Waters and he really would be jealous!

14 years...great quality....

Change NOTHING.

I came here from CD.com 6 years ago (!!!) And I'm never fucking leaving.
I love this board as is for the same reasons today as I did then.
Waaay back when Ol Furbush called himself "tylerdurden"...

Sure, shit's been getting squirrely lately, but this too, shall pass.
In the half decade plus that I've been a member of this place, I've joined no less than 5 other forums with a variety of main topics... MetallicaBB, the down board, Celticsblog, etc.. and while there are a bunch of great posts on those boards, they can't hold my attention unless something big is happening with the main subject. I'll lurk for a day or two, maybe post a couple sentences, and I forget about the place for a year.
Everyone so far has it nailed with EVO... I came here for Guns, and I stay for the community... I at least scan the latest thread updates here every other day at a minimum. I could go a month without even glancing at the GNR section.

The intelligence of our community here in unmatched. Sure, motherfuckers (including myself) have been getting a little testy about Uncle Axl lately, but it sure as fuck ain't the first time, and it won't be the last.

Another anomaly around here, is that GNR isn't even the favorite band of the most prolific posters...

I know if I wanna talk about any band I like, there are my BOYS at EVO (Axlin, BLSPride, Neemo) that'll be just as knowledgeable and excited to talk about the shit as me...

We all know who to go to....

Soundgarden... Lofton
U2... Bono
Elvis.. Russ
VH... MeWise

All of the off topic threads are engaging and current, no matter what is going on...

I was recently asked by a very good friend of mine to join HIS guns board, and... Well... I did.

The problem was/is, since then... I haven't been there once.

Yeah... Don't change a fucking THING, bro...
