Last this idiot (aka ME!!) knew, GNR don't play live that much. Maybe time to find an overnight babysitter...?
You shouldn't have to take a vacation day from work so you can go see a concert across the street the night before. If you have to go further it just compounds that.
If they were putting on Springsteen 3-4 hour shows fine, but to make people sit for 3 hours after your opening act plays is ridiculous and disrespectful to your fans-- A.K.A. customers. It baffles me that some people don't see this as just horrible and bush league.
It's nice that everyone likes the current GN'R, and claims cash flow issues...
Somehow, me thinks if it were a reunited GN'R, you'd sell your first born to be there.
Just sayin'. I'm sure i'll be told how wrong I am.
For me the rules would definitely change for reunion shows, but it still would come down to a cashflow issue. As much as I'd want to see it, I can't fly to NYC and spend $300 for tickets for any show.

I don't think Eric will turn out to be the one who's "handling Bill". I would imagine it will seem that way but maybe turn out that he's got nothing to do with it. But since he already told the Queen he was going to, it will obviously seem as if it's him.
I'm also quite interested to see where this "Queen has Eric, who in turn has Lafayette selling V" thing goes. I'm actually interested in who/what Sam's parents are.
I'm kinda mixed on Eggs. It gave Tara something to do and I was hoping for me of him. Great way to have it happen though. When we had our weekly True Blood gathering everyone gasped loudly then the room fell silent. My room mate broke the silence with "Scrambled Eggs"
Also, I have no clue on when Season 3 starts. This season didn't start until June so we may have quite the wait.
too obvious if Eric took Bill so I agree....I wouldn't mind seeing some Werewolves next season.
Yeah, this show is too full of swerves to have had Eric be the one who took Bill. Especially when he had basically said he was going to.
I'd be pretty happy with an entire episode next season that's just the Queen playing Yahtzee. For some reason I absolutely loved that.
My first thought when Sam's adopted Mother said his biological parents are horrible people (or whatever she said) was that they'll be werewolves. But, again, with this show if something seems like it will happen one way, it happens another way.

I may do a Ferris Beuller site seeing of my own while I'm there and I'd have to hit the art institute for sure as part of that.
I went to the art Institute for a field trip in high school. A few of my friends and myself decided we were going to be sure to stand where Ferris Bueller stood. So we went in front of the painting that's all dots, and started kinda weaving in and out of each other to be sure we all were in the specific spot for at least a second.
A security guy yelled at us.

Seriously though. I traveled from Western Il to Indianapolis in 92 to see GNR, Metallica, and Faith No More. Shannon Hoon also came out and sang Don't Cry with GNR.
That ticket cost me $35 for lower bowl seats. I would consider going around that far and paying more for no less than something that cool.
Well, I guess I'm a bit different, because I've never seen GnR live. So I guess that kind've informs my opinion.
35 Bucks barely gets you three beers at that show now.
True, and I realize inflation has happened (doesn't mean I don't think it's ridiculous) and that if you're going to a venue the size that GNR is going to be playing you can rarely expect to spend under $50...
Unless that venue doesn't sell worth a damn and they start offering 2 for 1 or better tickets. I've been to a few shows that way.
That's exactly what will happen if they tour and expect people to pay some of the prices being thrown around in this thread.
That is what I was going for by pointing out the $35. If Axl came to my local venue, I'd be willing to cough up 50 bones for something like CKY, Mixmaster Mike, and Nu-GNr (which is what I did in '02). No way I would have went as far as Indi for something like that though.
And I'm still pissed about having to sit through Mixmaster Mike.

So what's the timetable for the next season to start?
Finale was good, I knew there was going to be some sort of cliffhanger ending, but I wouldn't have expected that.

You are all of full of shit.
You post regularly on a GnR board, I have a lot of trouble believing that people wouldn't pay more than $25 to see a new lineup of GnR playing songs they've never played before.
As for me, I'd probably travel 500-600 miles, and pay $200.
Most of us became fans of a band that there is only one member of left...
A lot of other people became fans of a band that there are only around 4 members of left...
600 miles and $200 seems assinine to me unless I was guarunteed something really really special was going to happen. Like if Axl brings out Slash, Izzy, Buckethead, Jimi Hendrix, and John Lennon to jam, and I get to sit in on drums.

I LOVE tamales, but I'm much more comfortable not thinking about how they are made.
I'm pretty sure most tamales aren't made with meat from the head. They are usually made with pork or beef roast. Those pig head tamales were my grandpa's recipe. My mom wouldn't eat them. If they didn't taste so good, I wouldn't have either.
If you ever do happen to see a dish made with that meat, give it a try. Same can be said for cow tongue.
Ahh I hate tongue, my old man eats that shit.
If I'm not mistaken, head is the more traditional Mexican way of doing it, but you're right, most of what you find anymore is roast pork. And I'm good with that.

Fuck Jay Cutler!!! Can't believe they even had the nerve to call this clown "the franchise". Gonna be a rough season for Chicago. With just one competent QB this decade, Bears could have been a dynasty.
I don't know if this defense can carry them the whole season. If they do, gonna have to be a LOT of 9-6 victories.
Getting rid of Thomas Jones worked wonders for this team....
I said earlier it reminded me of watching Kordell Stewart, where it was obvious that he had no idea where his receivers were supposed to be.
I'm still not entirely convinced how much is on Cutler and how much is on the receivers, but either way, what a mess.
