Yessongs Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 I would go to this concert if it was at Impact Arena....not interested in stadium shows outside in the humidity. This is right next to Impact...very close and right down the street. Will look forward to your pics.. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lodging is somewhat reasonably priced (with my various Marriott discounts) and I usually get upgraded with my Marriott status (Titanium for life). Unfortunately, the various Bangkok Marriott Executive Apartments never seem to have point offerings. What I am wondering about a little is the best way of getting to/from Thunderdome Stadium. I was looking at a map. I am not familiar with the area of Bangkok where the stadium is located. I do not see a BTS station near that location. I guess I can make friends with a taxi driver and make arrangements for drop off and an afterwards pickup location. The GF can handle that communication and negotiation. I am somewhat concerned that the GF is going to hate me forever for this excursion. Why you take me there? Basically because I am a self-indulgent SOB. Oh, in order to enable some enjoyment for my Thia wife, does anyone have a recommendation for a good Isan Thai restaurant in the Thonglor area? No insects please. 🙂 Edited October 3, 2022 by ChiFlyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqualung Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 If Axel Rose is still the lead singer I would be worried about him turning up late, drunk and off his head on drugs. I don't think the Thais would accept the sort of behaviour he has shown in the past. Like their music but no time for a dickhead lead singer. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axel has always been a major league headcase. I read a story, and it was a long while back, that Axel once hit a neighbor over the head with a wine bottle because they asked him to turn his stereo down. Yes I have seen a few examples that his voice is giving out. I am going for a one night trip down memory lane. Hopefully, Axel has matured a little and will show up close to on time. It is really Slash that I am looking forward to seeing. I believe him to be a generally underrated guitar player. I have read that Slash has been clean drug wise for a very long time now. Supposedly he was acting as Charly Sheen's AA sponsor at one point. Tough gig. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yessongs Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Well there is no BTS remotely close to Impact or Thunderdome Stadium. The traffic in Muang Thong Thani is brutal, I have been there many times and after my first concert ever there in Sept 2016 with "Queen" I vowed to never deal with that crap again....and I haven't. I see where you are coming up from Pattaya by taxi and staying at Marriott....if you have some flexibility in your hotel arrangements and would like a stress free place close to Thunderdome etc. I might suggest staying at "Novotel Impact" it is a 10 minute taxi to Thunderdome. The Thai buffet before events in that area at the hotel is second to none. For events at Impact, you walk in a "catwalk" over to Impact and are in the arena, bar area in 10 minutes and no humidity to deal with until you exit the " catwalk" and are in the pavilion area. Just saying....might be worth a look to stay at Novotel and you will be in Thunderdome in 10 minutes, dropped off right in front of the stadium, tons of taxi to get you back to Novotel right after the show and then you get back to the "loom" your wife will whisper in your ear " Khun ChiFlyer, I lub U, Welcome to the Jungle" and she will f**k you silly after seeing this concert...she will be completely "geeked up" How do I know this? After seeing Aerosmith in Las Vegas a few weeks back, we get back to the hotel and wifey says to me " Khun Miiiike, I lub U, you can get Back in The Saddle again" with me all night! LOL! Have a great time and look forward to a review and pictures.... 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldnt say he was underated,back when they were on form he was always on front page of guitar mags,with tab for some of the songs,maybe forgotten a bit about now tho amongst the giants like page ,hendrix,clapton and some blues players,but hey if they can pull of sweet child o mine and welcome to jungle it be worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something I started to wonder about a bit, is that as many of you well know Bangkok is called "Krung Thep" by many Thai people. The French colonists renamed it Bangkok. "Krung Thep" translates best to "City of Angels" -> Los Angeles. I will try and send a message to Slash's web site so that the GnR handlers are aware of this. https://www.facebook.com/Slash/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiFlyer Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 hmmm - this is a little disconcerting. I printed off my tickets tonight to get things ready for the trip up to Bangkok. I was able to get the first 2 downloaded, but the third one (for the GF's sister) was not ready for download just yet. More disconcerting is that the tickets that I was able to download indicated that the venue had been moved from Thunder Dome Stadium to another location, but did not say what that other location is. I did a bunch of net searches to try and find out and got nothing. Anybody heard more? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got back pretty quickly and said that the concert will indeed be at Thunder Dome and that my remaining ticket should be released to me in a few days. Hope so on the ticket. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiFlyer Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Well we are in Bangkok for day 1 of our Guns n Roses Trip. Bought an extra ticket for the GF's sister. God she is cute. Hope I do not get too drunk and make a total fool out of myself. We are staying at the Marriott Executive Apartments in Thonglor at Sukhumvit soi 57. Pics are from the rooftop bar.

Popular Post ChiFlyer Posted November 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2022 Kind of a mixed bag on the GnR concert tonight. Negatives The taxi ride over to Thunder Dome was very bad. My fault really. We should have left earlier or stayed closer to the venue. The 27 km ride from Thoglor took close to 2 hours. Still we had stuff to do in Thonglor the day before. We actually did leave 2 hours before the concerts scheduled start time and were entering the main area while the band was on their opening number. The crowd management at Thunder Dome could have been a lot better. People were confused as to where to go and what line to get into. The signs were too small and not visible until one got near the front of a line. The sound system could be better. Not saying it was terrible, but it also was not that great. Axel did not sound that good. The unique timber in his voice seems to be going. Positives Seeing GnR live was on my bucket list. Slash and Duff were both on their games and (particularly Slash) gave it everything they had. The current rhythm guitar player (Richard Fortus I think) was good as were all of the other band members. It was a warm muggy Thailand night. They were under hot lights and they brought what they had. No complaints. Even Axel tried being nice to the crowd. What next? The crowd was well behaved and appreciative. The venue management was good inside the stadium. We left a little before the end in order to beat the crowd. My hip bursitis was starting to act up a little and the ladies had (I think they enjoyed the overall experience) had enough. 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
