Review #1 Dec.11

The show was in-fucking-sane. I went with my dad, it was so fun.

The doors opened around 7:15-ish, then we budged in line at the side of the merchandise table, bought shirts, got our seats. Shortly after 8:00 the Suicide Girls came on. Prior to this i had no clue who they were, but now i'm a fan, especially after watching them pour chocolate sauce all over each others bodies. About 20 minutes after SG was Helmet, they were good, but not too many people were entertained, myself included. Then after about a half-hour Sebastian Bach was on. He is Fucking amazing!! The guy has so much energy, and got the crowd really going. Then he did some stupid,but funny, rant about youtube and myspace: "...mytube, yourtube, his tube...... your space, her space..." After he was done we had the 40 mintue wait(sure seemed like it) for Axl and the band of misfits. After about 20 minutes people seemed kinda pissy, i kept thinking "where the fuck is that ugly cornrowed bastard?!". Then the lights went out and the intro music hit, which was kinda bleh.....

Then 'dun nu nu nu nu nu nu nu nu', it did that about 4 more times. Then "YOU KNOW WHERE THE FUCK YOU ARE!!!!!!!!" andn a loud BOOM!!! Everybody was going completely nuts and sang through till Better. Most people around me (in the stands) sat down during Better, i was probably one of the few within 20 feet around me who knew the song. Then, if i remember correctly, was Robins Solo, which is when i realized i had a headache. Not man y people dug the solo...... then Sweet Child O'Mine started and everybody was on their feet again. During Dizzy's Solo/ The Blues everybody seemed a bit impatient. I was kinda disappointedf during "Used To Love Her" (love that song) it took Axl singing the first half before anybody sang along...... Once again not mabny people were buying IRS...... In You Could Be Mine most people jum[ped at the loud explosion, myself included. Then Bach came on with commentary by Axl "....thats a nice piece of bass......." Axl's piano solo and november rain were good, but most people sat down during this.... The funny thing about the concert was that after Nightrain some people actually got up and started to leave, tools. Chinese Democracy was awesome, and Madagascar was met with people sitting, except me(i know the song off by heart and was one of three people in my section standing up). Paradise City had the usual energyu that it always has.... then at the end Axl gave out his mic stand, and threw the mic, which i guy a few rows down from me caught. Then the show was over and my father and i had to tackle the 230am drive to vancouver, we got home at 430 and 2 1/2 hours later my dad had togo to work... fun./......

Review #2/bit of a rant Dec.12

most of the fans were being asses....

GET OVER IT, JUST BECAUSE AXL IS THE ONLY ORIGINAL MEMBER IT DOESNT MEAN THAT GNR CANT ROCK THE FUCK OUT!!!

i was in the stands on the dizzy side of the stage, about 30 feet from Richard Fortus.117 row 10 #6 about a 70 degree(just a guess) angle away from the right speaker.

i had my cell phone up during all the slow/mellow songs, but after a minute or two gave into peer pressure and put it down

i was one of the few in the stands who was going nuts, not only when axl walked to our side, but the whole time. i only sat down 4 times only because my feet hurt and it was just solos.

i felt proud of myself when it was a newer song and axl walked to our side and i was the one of the few standing in the stands

People werent really into the new stuff.... same goes for some of the old, like November rain or used to love her.

i didnt really dance, just bopped up and down a little bit, but went fucking insane for Paradise City.

it was a late night but that isnt an excuse for the way a majority of the fans were at times

I have to add something about the band here:

as i told my dad after the show:

"the new guys are very unique and alothough many people bitch about the new band, these new guys add to the existing songs making them, well better? in a different context. the band has such a different amazing sound added to their old stuff, it makes for a good non-repeated/worn-out-album experiance." -Phloyd Dec.11/06 2:30am

that was alot/hard for me to say..... i was losing my voice and ears were ringing....

once again: good fucking show....
