I was trying to think of some smart way to word this, but my brain is feeling fuzzy (in an entirely good way) so I thought it best just to copy and paste from the Here Today Gone to Hell forum (check it out – a must for any GN’R fan):
Well, it’s 8am here and I’m supposed to be working… but I heard about this “surprise gigs” thing so I had to come and check it out. I’m a member of myGNR but I haven’t posted there much… It’s a bit too negative in places. If that’s the way they wanna run their forum, then that’s up to them. Personally, I prefer this place.
Anyway, that post from Axl/Dexter was superb! It really made my morning! I actually laughed out loud… luckily no-one else is in the office yet!
And, as for the surprise gigs… I’m all kinds of excited! Do you think this is what Axl meant in his tweet when he said that the band were gonna rest for a couple of days before starting the next thing?
Basically, the thing that’s got me all excited and bouncing off the walls is that there will be surprise GN’R gigs coming up! How do I know this? Well, it’s come direct from Mr. W Axl Rose himself…
For the rest of you… Surprise gigs comin’!!
(The whole of Axl’s post is worth reading if you want a laugh. Karma’s a funny thing! I would go into the whole story here, but it would probably be easier for you, dear reader, to just go and read it for yourself. That way I won’t accidently omit any details or anything.)
So, as you can imagine, everyone’s now speculating over when and where these surprise gigs will be. I don’t like to be left out, so here’s my wish list:
1. A London (England) gig – preferably one that I was able to get tickets to. I know GN’R have no control over whether or not I’m able to get tickets… I just thought I’d throw that out there. But, seriously, a London gig would be absolutely superb.
2. Failing option #1… A gig anywhere would be fantastic… and I’d be especially over the moon if there was some kind of video stream and/or some lovely human being would be kind enough to bootleg it so that I could pretend I was there.
3. My front room is very nice this time of year… 
So, yeah… this post wasn’t to review an album or interview a band or tell you about some new release… but it did serve to spread the excitement a little, right?
