Just got off the phone with my friend in Northern Ireland, he still thought the show was off like he had heard on the radio earlier, and was going to try get refunds tonight. He's not a die hard, he was a bit bummed by it but just wanted to know if I was still coming over for a wee party anyway.

I'm still going to go to the show, more as an afterthought now, I'm more concerned with meeting up with some old friends and having a bit of banter. If GNR dont turn up it wont spoil our good time, we can make our own entertainment.
I'm glad its looking like they havnt pulled out of the tour, I want it to work out for them and for them to fulfil their potential and I want the chance to hear as many new songs live as possible. But still their credibility and future is hanging on a shaky nail, if Axl had had a meltdown and really pulled the plug and the tour was off like the 2002 shambles, I really believe he would be finished in this country and probably the world. He's too old and burned to many bridges.
I still love his music and his lyrics though and he'll always be my favourite artist.
I have no respect for his lateshows though, never have, or the stonewall silent treatment GNR reguarly gives their fans whenever it suits them. Theres no need for it, its downright rude, disrespectful and its completely deliberate. How they can believe thats a decent way to conduct their relations is beyond me.

All this year I have been working with terminally ill children and children with life limiting conditions and their families. Seeing what these kids and their families go through daily and witnessing the spirit, courage, determination, humility and enthusiasm for life despite their genuine pain and hardship - its really been an eye opener to me. Its made me look closely at myself and really made me analyse myself and encourage me to set about making personal changes in an attempt to make myself a better person, live life with more focus and enthusiasm, and really just have apprieciation for how good I have it.
I look at other people and how they live life and treat others, I think I've always had morals and standards anyway, but now I probably have a lot less tolerence for other more fortunate people's shitty behaviour and attitudes.
Anyway... basically I look at the unnecessarily shitty way GNR reguarly conducts its relations with its fanbase through more cynical and unforgiving eyes than I might have in the past.

So its on now, hooray.

Now where were we...oh aye, that fuckin setlist!

Well it is a story.

"Still in rapid city Buying guns with Axl, just bought me a smith & w. 44 snub nose!! America F%#k yeah!"

Jeez horrible thought, I hope Axl didnt do himself in last night.

Otherwise on a happier note if it is just the mere cancellation of the tour, I wish they would just release a statement or something to clear it up. The longer it goes on the more their silence tells me that this isnt not a hoax. Seriously, if it was BS they would all be twitting have no fear and fernando would be on the forums making light of it.

I dunno what your experience of cancelled shows are but in mine, people are pretty swift out of the blocks in wanting to get their money back incase the venues/agencies try screw them around.

Well I've pretty much had it also. If this isnt cleared up by the time I get home from work I'm cancelling all travel plans and getting my refund. Even if it is, its left a bitter taste in my mouth, and I'm still thinking about getting a refund. I've had about enough of these letdowns as I have fernandos childish tweets in the name of Guns N Roses.
