This quote from new GN’R bassist Tommy Stinson on why the band cancelled its shows over the weekend and tonight is great:
-
“No one’s ever done this before. No one’s ever…Like, the lead singer’s never taken the name and continued on with an entirely new band successfully in history. So it sounded like, the whole prospect of it sounded like it would be historically awesome to pull it off and, you know, if it didn’t work it was, like, the most interesting thing, you know, I had going at the time. I think it was a calculated risk and it was a good one.”
I miss the old GN’R. My first-ever concert was the 1993 tour — Arco Arena in Sacramento, April 3, 1993, the day after my 16th birthday. Aww yeah.
