Philly Guns

What a show, and they came on early! They rocked it all night. I was surprised how great Madagascar was. There Was A Time is a great song, but for some reason it just doesn't translate well live. Other than that they kicked my ass for 3.5 hours and still feeling it today!

I was there rocking my flyers/gnr mash up shirt

That is killer. Did you make that yourself?

Yup!  I started designing sports themed shirts for all the concerts I go to. I got tired of spending tons of $$ at the merch stands for shirts that really arent that great and will most likely fade after a few washes.

Everyone in Philly either on the radio, or social media has given only glowing reviews of the show. Pretty much they came and kicked our asses!

Even "Better" sounded off, and thats one of my favorites, for some reason it doesn't translate live for me.

At least they're throwing in the rotations but there's no better energy-sucker than Sorry. It's a poor live song.

Yea it totally was draining, once I heard the intro, I wanted to scream NO DON'T DO IT, DON'T BE SORRY!!!!!

Wow what a great show, Axl sounded killer, was all smiles during the entire show, and slash was on fire. The crowd was great even with it being hot as hell. Totally agree Sorry just doesn't work live, it sounded a mess, and most people started sitting down during it. Time to go pass out and hopefully wake up for work. I will never forget this night, so great!

Best one yet, imo.

Yes.

There is only one Ben Franklin, and he has a killer crossover!

Sweet, I hope they take full advantage and KICK ASS!  Too bad it's not you guys, huh? Did you enter the contest as well?

 

Yea that has to be an amazing feeling. I wish my band was still together for this, but we broke up a few years ago (couldn't get along with the singer, go figure ), plus I got a new job/married, had to give up the dream =(   Growing up sucks lol.

An opener for the opener???

Anyone ever seen Mach 22?

Looks like they won a local radio station contest to perform tonight.

My band played with them before a while back, they are pretty good.

Hopefully the roadies will be able to do what Ozzy does on hot festival gigs shower you with water

Stepped outside a few times today during work, and my god its brutal out.

I've got my bottle of water ready!

The jetro lot right next to the linc opens at 1 according to their Facebook page. I should be down there right around then. The jetro, linc and CBP parking lots should be more then enough to hold everyone.  

Yea there is still plenty of parking, but get ready for a nightmare after the show. I was at Paul McCartney on Tuesday and it was a disaster leaving the Citizen Bank Park lots. I just waited and did a after show tailgate till the traffic got better. So bring extra beers for that!

So calm before the GNR storm!

Yup that sounds about right LOL!  Well you and Axl have matured hopefully  I'll never forget it!  As we were leaving police were coming in with full riot gear on! We rode the train home and that was an experience in of itself...ahhh the memories!  I am sure your chair will be the best seat at your tailgate!

Oh what a night! Funny thing is my wife's mother was Director of Security for the First Union Center. So she has special little spot in her heart where she hates Axl 

So pumped for this show, putting together a shirt today (all you Flyers fans will appreciate this). Also making my wife a Slash version as well. I gotta look my best for the boys

We all should meet up!

I was thinking maybe hitting up Xfinity Live, although they can get pricey. A nice parking spot / couple cases of beer / GNR blasting from the ipod dock is usually the way to go 

I guess I need to make a Flyers/GNR "Slash" shirt now for the wifey now, heres us from the Electric Factory show

Just got my tix! Can't wait!

maybe he does that to lose body fluids and look less bloated.

It is indeed a good way to lose weight.

I don't think his clothes are too small or too short. He's a small guy, always been.

Also not trut he wore loose clothes back in the 90's. My God, that was the time when he wore the white bikers and almost nothing else...

You would think with how much he sweats he'd lose a few pounds, he's gotta lay off the taco bell

Vince Neil standards.

Exactly. Its what it has come to, I love seeing these comments about how they actually like his voice now and don't think its that bad, like what the hell are these people listening too. I would take 2002 voice over this voice anyday, and thats not saying much.

Axl looks a little skinny around the face here..maybe a good angle. I have nothing nice to say about the vocals...just a little too clean for me.

Its a good angle haha , these days he def isn't skinny around the face.
