I watched that too. From the 2nd row. I'm sure I'm in the video somewhere, I've just never watched it.
You've mentioned it before. There's no need to brag.
I once watched a VR show from the 2nd row myself. I got to see a grinning Matt Sorum up close and Slash standing on the stage, going through the motions looking like he wanted out, Kusner standing one on spot the whole show to the other side of the stage (as iff someone told him to stand behind a curtain). Duff was cool though, I think... hazy memory.
Front rows sang along to Suckertrain Blues and Fall to Pieces, but really just wanted to here Guns N' Roses covers.
Would you trade places?
#1682 Re: Guns N' Roses » Nightrain Official Site » 550 weeks ago
I was watching this.
Setlist:
Nightrain
Mr. Brownstone
Live and Let Die
Attitude
It's So Easy
Patience
Double Talkin' Jive
Civil War
Welcome to the Jungle
November Rain
You Could Be Mine
Coma
Don't Cry
Bad Obsession
Sweet Child O' Mine
Knockin' On Heaven's Door
So Fine
Move to the City
Estranged
Paradise City
Not counting Guitar/Drum solos.
It's a shame though that it's not the real Guns N' Roses. It's only Axl/Slash/Duff from the Appetite line-up with Dizzy Reed, some guy who replaced Izzy and a drummer who's not playing like Steven Adler.

#1683 Re: The Sunset Strip » HBO's A Game of Thrones » 550 weeks ago
Season 1 was A Game Of Thrones (1st book)
Season 2 was A Clash Of Kings (2nd book)
Season 3/4 was A Storm of Swords (3rd book)
Season 5 was a mixture of A Feast For Crows/A Dance With Dragons (4th/5th book) Mostly the 5th book, with extreme liberties taken with the Source Material (for example Dorne and giving Sansa a different characters story arc, among other things)
Season 6 is mostly original material with some of A Feast For Crows (4th book for example Arya with liberties taken) and a little bit of The Winds Of Winter (6th Book) with extreme liberties taken.
It's unlikely Season 7/8 will have anything to do with the books except very vaguely from what George may or may not have told the producers happens to certain characters.

AC/DC Fans Who Don't Want To See Band Perform With AXL ROSE Can Get Their Money Back
British ticketing services company See Tickets is offering a chance to AC/DC fans who bought tickets for the band's June 4 concert at London Olympic Stadium to get their money back.
The show is one of twelve European dates AC/DC will perform with GUNS N' ROSES frontman Axl Rose on lead vocals after Brian Johnson was ordered to stop touring or risk going deaf.
See Tickets sent out an e-mail earlier today to everyone who bought tickets to the London gig using the service. The message reads: "You have the opportunity to request a refund of your ticket. Refunds will be available from now until 5pm on Friday, May 6."
It is not presently clear if the refund offer will be made available for the other dates on AC/DC's European tour, which kicks off on May 7 in Lisbon, Portugal and runs through June 12 in Aarhus, Denmark. Following that, Rose will head out on his previously announced summer reunion tour with GUNS N' ROSES, dubbed "Not In This Lifetime". AC/DC's ten postponed U.S. dates will take place later in the year, also with Rose as frontman.
According to a Billboard.com source, Rose initially met with AC/DC members in Miami and Atlanta back in March. It was then that the decision was made to have Rose join AC/DC on tour. There was also talk of having other singers alternate with Rose, including ex-SKID ROW frontman Sebastian Bach and Nic Cester of the Australian band JET.
Fan reaction to Rose replacing Johnson — even temporarily — has been largely negative. The fan site AC/DC Italia announced it was shutting down in protest, while AC/DC biographer Jesse Fink called it "the worst decision AC/DC has ever made. Fans are pretty disgusted... AC/DC is all about the money now."
AC/DC guitarist Angus Young made a guest appearance with GUNS N' ROSES at the Coachella festival in California earlier in the month, to tie in with the official confirmation of Rose's involvement.

Ticketmaster started offering them too, hopefully not too many take up the offer.

Not watching the match APE?
I went to the garage myself today. Gave whoever it was £20, however they apparently gave me the £20 note back with the change. Didn't notice until I got home.
Is it wrong that I feel guilty?
#1688 Re: The Sunset Strip » HBO's A Game of Thrones » 550 weeks ago
Oh boy. How does it differ?
First of all when Myrcella is sent to Dorne in the show (season 2)/books when Tyrion is running King's Landing, she's sent with Ary's Oakheart one of the King's Guard.

Ary's Oakheart stays there to watch over her in the books while she's in Dorne. For some reason this is never mentioned again in the show and Jamie ends up going to Dorne.
As for Dorne itself.
Ellaria Sand

Is a pacifist, after Oberyn's death she returns to Dorne and gives a speech to Oberyn's kids the sand snakes (there's 8 of them, not 3 in the books all Oberyn's bastards to different women) and tells them about how the cycle of violence should end. She's a side character and not crucial to the plot.
Doran

Is alot smarter, he has a game plan. His heir is not Trystane.

He has another daughter called Arianne Martell

She's his heir and basically the entire purpose of the Dorne plot. In Dorne unlike the show they believe in equal rights. Male heirs do not come before female heirs.
She plots to declare Myrcella the true Queen under Dorne-ish law since this will obviously start a war between the Lannisters/Dorne (it's complicated). Anyway Doran prevents it from happening and eventually reveals his plan... it involves fire and blood. TWOW PREVIEW CHAPTER SPOILERS
(who doesn't exist in the show). Arys's Oakheart btw is decapitated by Areo Hotah.
He also sends another son who's cut from the show Quentyn Martell to try and marry Daenerys. Basically to align Dorne with the Targaryens against the Lannisters ect. However Quentyn in typical asoiaf fashion ends up doing something silly and gets killed trying to steal one of Daenerys locked up dragons near the end of book.
That still leaves Arriane who
This is of course is alot better written that I made it sound.
#1689 Re: The Sunset Strip » HBO's A Game of Thrones » 550 weeks ago
You're giving them too much credit. People can look back and think, oh she said this. The truth is, the purpose of the bath scene was for their nudity quota. At that point the writers specifically said they didn't even think the show would make it past the red wedding.
The fact that they burned the Meerenes navy, so they could circle back to a book storyline and ended up killing off half the characters in Dorne, means they didn't think that too far ahead even just last season.
It's a plot hole.
#1690 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl Rose joins AC/DC » 550 weeks ago
Apparently Axl's favorite AC/DC track "Touch Too Much" has never been played live. It was played on Top of the Pops a few days before Bon died, but it wasn't a live performance.
