Re: Stinson Vents at Del James During Dublin Concert
Tommy leaving would be a non factor. u guys crack me up like this would be some major blow. U think the attendance would drop one single person? NO way.
if u can survive losing steven,izzy,slash,duff,sorum,bucket,robin,freese,brain..u can survive this. People are there for Axl, i seriously doubt anyone buys a ticket to see anyone other than Axl. u think Replacement fans are turning up in droves at GNR shows? NO way.
I realize nobody is there to see Tommy. That is not the point. Tommy seems to be Axl's best buddy and Tommy helps Axl run the show. That is obvious when watching them interact on stage and when seeing photos of them off stage together. Tommy also brings alot of credibility to the band with the press and rock critics. He helps legitimize the band in the eyes of the industry and press. Almost every article you see about the band mentions Tommy and his past with the "legendary" Replacements. He has his own identity and no other band member currently can say that. You lose Tommy and you truly have a faceless group of sidemen.
just my 2 cents.:/
Re: Stinson Vents at Del James During Dublin Concert
Just signed up there as I couldn't believe what I was reading.
Now, the O2 has a STRICT 11pm curfew, always has (even when it used to be The Point Depot).
This is not because Harry Crosbie wants it that way, he could not give a fcuk if bands played until 5am, but its has to be 11pm for transport reasons.
Lots of multi stories lock up at midnight and your car is lock down till 8am if you don't collect it, trains and buses all leave at 11.30pm etc.
If you live in Dublin like myself, no big deal - but if you are after driving for four hours to see the concert, your basically on the streets for the night.
So, long story short - the curfew is there for a reason, we all know about it in Ireland and EVERY band is made aware of that also.
This is one reason that I don't think has been discussed enough in the lateness issue. In Europe people use public transportation a lot more than in the US. Most of the train/buses stop running at around 12am. So when Axl shows up late and the shows run routinely past midnight it fucks over a lot of people who depended on public transportation to get back home.
Anyway it's strange that in 2006 he actually showed up early to a Dublin show as opposed to this round.

Re: Stinson Vents at Del James During Dublin Concert
Ì checked that Celeste and Daphne clip. Jesus....the audience are more of a bunch of ill behaved animals than humans. Fine, don't like the songs, they suck, but to actually throw bottles at two girls singing their songs....
Fun to see that Queen of the stone age deal too. The guy is right about every word he says. The fucking prick should just go home to his mommy.
