Been to many shows but the Metallica/A7X gig was my first in the pit and definitely the loudest. Felt like I was underwater for a week.. couldn't hear shit.

Checking in: Deftones are ASS. Waiting for the main event.

I'm pondering buying these NITL shorts. Considering this is the only lifetime I'm gonna be able to buy them in, I might just do it.

I'll be front row pit throwing roses at my boys ??? Been waiting for this since the day I joined this forum in 2005, I was 15. 12 years later and the day is finally here I can't believe it. I might hyperventilate 

"The lamest town in America" Where exactly could that be? 

The only real gripe I have is that there is almost zero crowd interaction. Seeing other bands like Metallica & A7X this year there was alot of banter between the singers and the crowd, and it made you feel more apart of the overall act. With Guns now it does feel almost robotic how everything is. The moves are choreographed, even the little things he says to crowd are, but it seems like as of late he is talking more, so that's a plus. But to say Axl isn't charismatic is laughable. I mean, I've never heard anyone say that atleast.

To those that have bought GNR merch: How do the t-shirts fit? Debating if I should get medium or large. I'm pretty fit and usually go large but I don't want it fitting baggy either.

Can't wait for tomorrow. Hoping to see some forum members!

Slash at the end of YCBM sounded like Jimi. Holy shit.

This Better is great.

Wow, he really does sound the way he sounds on recordings! *mind blown*

Melissa is shredding!

If we don't have an AFD reunion now will we ever?   And I hope that Frank/Melissa/Dizzy and Fortus are there only to watch/support/learn.  Like put em in a nice suite etc...

If they couldn't put their differences aside and make it work for the 30th anniversary I don't see it happening at all. I have doubts they'll all be alive for the 40th, better yet the 50th. I also keenly remember Adler saying he wouldn't do anything else with Guns unless Izzy was involved too. So as long as he stuck to his word and that forum member earlier is correct that he's in town, we're in for a treat. But I'm not getting my hopes up. Been down that road before.

A great performance in my opinion. The Houston one too, of course.

Well, that's what you get when you truly tour the world I guess. You win some, you lose some...

Well, at least the outcome is income.

I was lucky enough to make it to the Atlanta and Houston shows last years. I thought he sounded exceptional in Atlanta and of course everyone knows by now how he magically hit that second gear and obliterated the Houston gig. Hearing the 2 shows on Youtube I still think they sound amazing but whether it was the beer/live atmosphere, I'd obviously give the edge to the sound quality when I was there. Since I was born in '96 I didn't get to see the original/UYI lineup but I always wonder, if Axl sounded that great on recorded footage from that time period, I can only imagine how it was to actually BE there.

Raspy Better. That was great.

It's as if he ran in the dressing room and threw on everything he could find.

This was great. If you get around to it, you should make one for Estranged, or Coma.

Someone get @DieselDaisy a cheap ticket to one of the London shows. I need a full on, drunk review.

It would be an injustice if he didn't go. I've been looking forward to his take on a live show 

That new red jacket is insane. Any luck on finding the brand of it yet?

Well who the hell is it that says fookin then?

Conor Mcgregor.

I don't think this will affect much but do you guys remember that dude's story from one of the NA tour date threads about how he was able to seemingly get backstage w/ a group of his friends without any security checking him? To the point where he could have went to each of their dressing rooms if he wanted? That can't happen again. Glad to hear the band is taking these measures.

Tasteless song choice for that video. Those kids weren't knocking..
