Interesting that they are only playing in Wellington and Dunedin on the NZ tour.
I'm not a big enough fan to bother and Axl's voice is another factor. I've seen Slash live so that's enough for me.
He's the last of a breed and he did it while doing absolutely nothing new. Good on him.

I didn't invent it it, but I like it. Don't tell your kids, if they are anything like me you will be called GOM not Dad.

3 years ago I saw the Stones. Then 18 months ago I saw AC/DC - which was extremely fortunate as I wasn't to know that Brian was going to move on. Now both were totally amazing, and a real tick off the list sort of things.
But just this morning, I've gone and topped it.
Metallica are playing HK next Jan - done. I've seen them twice before, but it's been a lot time between drinks - Newstead was on bass when I saw them last!
And then also - Guns N FUCKING ROSES!! Singapore in Feb. The old crew - Axl, Slash, Duff and some other bogans. As a caveat, I still expect this concert to quite possibly suck shit. Or Axl and Slash to fall out before than and the whole thing to be tinned. But hey, it's guns and fucking roses man!!!
There is no purpose to this post, other than to show off.
to bring this thread full circle
Gunners here next November. Tickets on sale this Thursday.
Yay or nay?
Mrs Mariner and I thinking of taking the kids....
Saw them at Western Springs a couple of years ago. Brilliant concert and the Axl voice concerns were quickly forgottren. Hw and all were excellent

My Dad has been playing every week for at least 30 of those 60 years, so I suspect an element of relief as well. Some people never get one either, so really happy for him

was about to say - time on the course is important for that.
50 rounds a year, say 5 par 3 holes per round, over 30 years is 7500 tries.
Edit: and stoked for him obviously! Great result

5 Par three holes? What type of Pitch and Putt do you play at?

yeah, unfortunately it was a sponsored event, but the course also put in $100, so it didnt work out too bad. Then also won a massive hamper in the raffle while drinking. I swear he should have bought a lotto ticket yesterday.

I tried to buy tix yesterday for me and the lad. $220 each for gold, which ain't that gold really , only cheaper ones were silver at 130 which looked terrible. But worse was that the ticketek site was shit and you couldn't select and proceed to finalise anyway, so I got nothing in the end.

@voodoo we'll get seated because the 9 year old won't be standing up. Probably try for the GC
-
@mariner4life i was also looking at seated. If you want to stand, thats Diamond...and $245pp...
Edit: but don't stress, it's heaps cheaper in the GC, just $241.05pp...😬

I remember when I booked GnR tickets, I didn't look at the seating plan and just went for the most expensive as it included easier bar access etc. I just assumed a cushy seat somewhere within cooee. I didn't think for a second I was paying for right up front standing tickets. I was gutted as I thought I would be amongst all the idiots jumping into each other. As it happened everyone in that area was of similar age so it was quite civil. Still nice to see joints being passed round. Bless.
