  1. Last night was pretty indescribable. I never in my life thought I would see GNR live. I went with my husband and our two best friends. We were in section 128. The sound wasn't great, there were times I couldn't hear Axl well, but it didn't last long. I was BLOWN AWAY by Axl's vocals. I always knew he was the greatest frontman but seeing them live takes my admiration to a whole new level. Slash was amazing. I am still completely overwhelmed by last night. It was like a spiritual experience. My section was pretty into the music but my husband said he looked around and no one seemed quite as enthused as me, haha! But he also said no one was looking at me funny so it's all good haha. 

     

    I hope they come back to the Dallas area soon.

  2. This stadium is insane. I've been three times now. If you don't want to pay high dollar for parking, you're going to be walking quite the distance.

    I'm lower level, section 128, but my gosh I wish I was closer to the stage. I'm a college student and my budget didn't allow for me to purchase anything closer.

  3. So here comes my first post. 

    I cannot believe that I am back on a GNR message board. I was a part of one way back in 2002 when I was in high school. I don't know if this one existed back then, but I was always on the message board back then.

    I didn't really discover GNR until my junior year of school. Growing up, I was only allowed to listen to Christian music. When I got older, my parents became more lenient and so I was able to just listen to pop radio. When I worked my first job, a guy I worked with played the GNR CD for me (Use Your Illusion II) and I fell in LOVE. I went out and bought all the GNR music I could find, watched all the performances that I could find, bought some tshirts, became a huge fan. 

    After a few years, I just lost my passion. Idk if it had to do with the lack of new music, but I just kind of started listening to newer music. I remember watching Axl perform with Nuguns on some MTV Awards show, maybe '02ish with Buckethead and I just rolled my eyes. I couldn't get into them. I kept hearing about Chinese Democracy, and thought I might give it a shot. But I honestly don't even remember when it came out and by then I really would not have cared. I guess I got tired of Axl's attitude.

    When I heard about the Troubadour show, I just couldn't believe it. Then they announced the tour and I knew I had to get tickets right away.

    So back in April this year after buying tickets, I rediscovered all of my GNR albums. I think it's been 12 years or so since I've listened to this music and I had forgotten how important it is to me. Some of these songs have brought me to tears and I don't even know how I could have stopped listening. 

    Maybe that makes me a fair weather fan, idk, since I never gave Nuguns a chance. But I'm back for the music, got my tickets for the Dallas show and wishing more than ANYTHING that my seats were closer, but I'm in college and on a budget, couldn't afford pit, and have dug out my GNR T shirt that I bought in high school. I can not believe this is happening, never thought it would happen and my passion is back.

    With all that being said, Axl's transformation is a miracle. If he really does have mental illness then maybe he found the correct meds, but maybe his passion is back by being back with his old band mates, just like mine is.
