Guns and Roses play Hammerstein

Axl did what a lot of people said would never happen. He showed up to play a sold out show at the Hammerstein Ballroom in NY on Friday May 12th. Not only did he show up but they played for over two hours, played twenty two songs and did a duet with Sebastian Bach on My Michelle and You’re Crazy. They sold that show out, sold out an added date and then added two more dates that also quickly sold out. See photos of the show and read a review of the show here.

Guns and Roses new guitar player is Ron Thal of the New York City-based alternative-rap-metal project BUMBLEFOOT.

The touring lineup for 2006 is:

Axl Rose – Vocals
Robin Finck – Guitar
Ron Thal – Guitar
Richard Fortus – Guitar
Tommy Stinson – Bass

Rock and Roll Soldiers with Buckcherry

We went to see Buchcherry at the Masquerade last Saturday night (April 29th, 2006). We didn’t leave till about 9 so when we got there we caught the end of the Rock and Roll Soldiers set. They were kicking some ass. The band looks young, pissed off, play like there is no tomorrow. On the last song the guitar player passed his guitar into the audience and then the drummers bass drum was passed throughout the crowd as well. Real cool Rock and Roll stuff. We bought their CD which from what I can gather is two EP’s on one disc based on the two songs we heard.

The CD titled “The Two EP’s” (see how I came up with that before?) is a great suprise of hard energetic rock played just like we like it. I would talk about standout songs here but honestly I like everyone of them. Get this CD, PLAY IT FUCKING LOUD and rejoice that Rock and Roll is alive and kicking. And if you didn’t figure it out by now they rule live as well and I can say that confidently after only seeing them play two songs.

Buckcherry kicked ass too.
