  1. Always supported what the lead singer was doing, but man, it warms the heart to see these guys out there tonight, just celebrating GnR and having fun.

    For those who weren't around back then, these guys were heroes and really were the most dangerous band in the world.

    Cheers to the guys who had the balls to show up.

    I totally feel the exact same way!!!

  2. I really wish they would of done an Up Close and Personal show in Cleveland this weekend. Would be a great chance for Axl to show off what we have right now and what is kicking ass. It is sad to see the media circus of GnR thou once again showing its face at a time when something like this should be made important for us the fans. They all need to put the past behind them and show the world that each original member has moved on in their careers.

  3. I got two tickets. I'm in the very back pretty much, but I got two.

    As long as you are in the building is all that matters!

    I also struck out on getting tickets. I hope a pair pops up in the next few months or see if there's any media connections to the show.

  4. Don't know why I didn't remember this until now, but one of the camera guys at the Youngstown show said expect something special with the New Years show.

    I highly doubt an online stream but maybe actually pro shot videos???? Let's hope! Then again it was just a camera guy and it's all equals out to about I heard this from someone who said.

  5. Damn where to begin this was my 4th time going to see Guns and by far the best experience I have had. My wife nephew and I went to BW3's before the show and it was great to see so many Guns fans out and about. I had the chance to meet BillsGuy and meet up with BigCash2002, who lucky was not the craigslist killer! At BW3's we got the word that it was rumored the Covelli Centre changed the floor to GA so we all left BW's pretty quickly. We get to the venue and find out the rumor was true and we were out of luck with our kick ass front row seats. Luckily my group and BigCash2002 was able to get against the railing to the far left of the stage.

    BLS kicked things off and god damn their set was loud! I am not very familiar with their music but it was truly guitar driven. Zakk put on easily a ten minute guitar solo which seemed like it would never end. DJ and Richard was spotted next to the stage watching the performance. Then Dizzy came out beside the stage to watch a few minutes of the opener. I got the chance to congratulate him on the Rock Hall and he smiled and gave a tip of his coffee cup. BLS was a great opener for a rock show and it set the tone of the night. I didn't notice anything negative from the crowd about them and a positive no boos were heard.

    The venue was getting pretty damn full between the bands. Yes there was some empty seats but most sections were pretty full. This was a fairly small venue compared to others and I would guess maybe 7000 or so fans in attendance. The open floor was about the only place I noticed any open areas. There is no better feeling in the world to look back before Guns and see a sea of people all sporting GnR gear waiting for the greatest band in the world.

    As soon as the house lights went down and the Dexter theme started we were all treated to a kick ass non stop 3 hour experience. I won't go into every detail about the show since it was similar to most on this tour however I'll post some of my highlights.

    - Axl's vocals are amazing! He can still hit the notes and has the rasp. The videos don't prove how good he actually sounds live.

    - DJ is the perfect, long missing part of this band. I hope he is here for the long ride.

    -You can see the bands chemistry coming together and every member looks to be having a great time. They are finally getting their identity as a band.

    - Bumble and Richard are also amazing at what they do even if some just want to bitch about a missed note or sound. They bring 110% to the show.

    -During Paradise Axl's whistle would not blow. He said “Piece of Shit” and thew it into the crowd.

    -I had a sign that read Congrats Rock Hall and Azoff's A Jack-Off. Band members gave us thumbs up and even gave Bumble and Axl a laugh with the Azoff sign. Thanks for who ever posted this idea before the tour started. It was all I could do since I didn't get any inflatable dolphins.

    Songs of the night:

    Nigh Train and Brownstone kick major ass by this group. Estranged and Civil War were both beautiful and I really got into Whole Lotta Rosie, which has to be seen live to understand! Sorry was also a great jam. I did notice not many people in my area knew much of the lyrics to Chinese songs but let's hope after this tour more people are drawn into the album.

    I won't go into any more details because it would be the same thing with every review. I am just blown away yet again by this band and I can not wait for them to tour the states again. Let's just hope it's not another 5 years for us to experience this show again. I am really kicking my own ass for not throwing down the money to also go to Cincy a week ago. If anyone on the boards still have a chance to go see this lineup do not pass it up. They are on fucking fire and you will be treated to a great Rock N Roll show.

    I will try to post a few of the many pics I was able to grab.

  6. It is NOT a band issue.

    Thanks, but you do know the media and some of the bullshit critics will put the good ole spin on it to make it look like it was Axl's fault. I just don't want to see anything negative to take away from the great tour so far.
