I had booked a ticket to flight to Athens at 8 pm. I drove to the airport in a great mood because ..you know... I was going to see Guns N' Fuckin Roses for the second time this year. The first one was in Paris ,where I had a great time and I was looking forward to see them again. When I arrived at the airport I saw that my flight was delayed!!! There was a new time for 8:45..I was starting to get very uncomfortable. . and after a few minutes there was a new delay! my flight was scheduled for 9:30!! That meant that I was going to arrive at Athens airport at 10:15! I cancelled my tickets and booked a flight for 9 pm with a different airline company..I had to see Guns N' Roses and nothing could get in my way! lol! It was 8:15 and still feeling very stressed out I was. I bought 2 small bottles of wine and I started drinking!! By the time I got on the plane I was really drunk!! I arrived at Athens airport at 9:45. My friend was there waiting for me in a taxi holding the two tickets. Rockwave was quite close to the airport..about 25 minutes by car. We explained our situation to the taxi driver who was a great guy and he started driving very fast..we were there in 15 minutes!! He was driving at 170 km/hour!! We quickly entered Rockwave as there was no queue because GNR were already playing!!
The place was great..it was open air , located between the mountains ,there were trees everywhere and people were standing on grass. Dizzy gave us a great piano solo as always, and the band jammed into the blues. We quickly entered the crowd and made it to the 3rd row!! Blues was great and Axl was feeling it..Before I could realize what was going on there was "you could be mine"..You could be mine was very powerful.. and these were not easy in the 3rd row..Security guards were throwing water to us all the time because it was a living hell!!! Axl started singing Light my fire and this was a big surprise to everybody but people started to sing along! after the guitar solos the band entered Out ta get me! WOW!!!! GREAT MUSIC!!! And Axl's voice was awesome! All musicians were amazing, doing an excellent job and njoying it themselves! Then there was a piano jam and ......lights turned out. It was time for Axl's little baby.. The intro travelled us to the cold november rain. Amazing performance..Crowd goes wild...Everybody is singing along! Many cameras in the crowd, many flashes going on ...Amazing! The band plays better..some people know the lyrics..and the song sounds good! After the band introductions Mr. Bumblefoot plays dont cry on guitar. He encourages with his hand the crowd to sing along..everybody is singing..great moment! Madagascar is played right afterwards ..Axl seems to be really into this song!! He sings it with his heart ..thanx Axl..amazing performance of madagascar and great video on the video walls! The bands jams into my michelle right after.. It was the best performance of My michelle I've ever heard...energy flowting all around and I must say that Axl's voice is at its best! Axl talks to the crowd and says that its it's time to introduce an old friend..The crowd starts shouting IZZY IZZY before even Axl says Izzy's name. Greek people love Izzy , and Izzy has been in Greece again in 1993 replacing Gilby .Patience is great and candles are everywhere! Afterwards comes one of favourites....Nightrain... Axl is jumping all around the stage!!!AMAZING!!! crowd goes wild!! Then comes the first goodnight.. People are shouting guns n roses and the band appears again on stage ready for more action!! I was very surprised to hear them jam into Paradise City because it is usually the last song.
And it was- I was expecting for more encores. But it was the big final moment! Confetti were flying everywhere in the place and the band is finishing an amazing performance! Many congrats to GNR and all the people there for making a great show! Personally I prefered the Paris show , mostly because I heard it from the beginning . Many things went wrong in my plans for this concert but still I had a great time. I returned home by plance this morning , after a night in Athens . I will support GNR whenever I have the chance . Try to make it to a show because it is amazing.
AXL THANX FOR ROCKING

PEACE
