Oh sorry

That's terrible.
To be honest I'm not very familiar with Tommy outside of what he's done with GNR, one of those things I've been meaning to check out on my musical to do list - like get into his back catalogue and history and stuff.
that's paul westerberg who was the frontman of the replacements. there was talk some time round '02 maybe of a 'mats reunion & paulie played the axl-card (as a bit of a tongue in cheek comment that snowballed into the familiar axl being an asshole thing) & the rumour eventually was that axl didn't allow tommy the time off 2 go tour with paulie.
it was all a big load of crap & tommy has debunked the story. but yea, axl/gnr r an easy target for someone as sarcastic/witty as westerberg..
edit - it's all detailed in the chinese whispers section on here. unfortunately i can't remember the dates, or the finer details, off the top of my head..

got my tickets 4 this n dublin this morning. there was a reasonable queue all told, about as big as pearl jam recently. though i think some boyband (JLS??) might've had tickets on sale 2day 2 which might've accounted for some of the prettier female faces.. it was a right mixed back in the queue to, not to often you'd see as diverse a crowd all buyin tickets 2 the same show.. guns really do attract all sorts.

if they aren't keepin an eye n an ear on what Slash is playin, they should be.. he is their competition & at the minute it sounds like he's at least equal 2 them.
fortunately for me i get to see both tours soon!* so i can hear how they measure up in person as opposed 2 utube clips..
*touch wood. hope i'm not jinxing my gettin 2 see GnR.. tickets go on sale in 2 days!!
#3617 Re: Guns N' Roses » Slash Ponders GN'R Reunion 2013 » 797 weeks ago
Coma & Locomotive are more Slash written/driven songs than Estranged or Don't Cry, not surprised he listed them.
i would confidently put money on there being no reunion. the scenario i see going down is Slash n Duff n maybe Steven will appear at the show and they're be some carp band like the Jonas Brothers playing a GnR tribute & axl'll sit in his house on the hill, on his chair of money, watchin the car crash on tv..

"and the headlining fee of over one million euros, which went the way of Guns N' Roses. "
and now you know why they did this small Euro tour before the main Fall one...:)
it's the TIMING of this leg of the tour that makes a lot more sense than the august/september dates - & @ 50 n 60quid a ticket for those later gigs you can be assured it'll be a substanial payday come the end of this lengthy euro-jaunt.
#3619 Re: Guns N' Roses » Oslo, Norway - June 2, 2010 (Oslo Spektrum) » 797 weeks ago
in '06 i MISSED the first 4 songs because they started ON TIME @ 8 sharp.
one of my mates actually said, that sounds like GnR on now. the rest of us scoffed, there'd be no way the band would start so early. i think it's somethin 2 du with the strict curfew laws/fines in the republic of ireland - or that it was an outdoor gig n axl wanted 2 see the irish sun.
edit: the other 2 times i've seen them ('02/'06) they were slightly late.. 50mins-60mins.
