Songs not bad at all, liked it the 2nd time much more than the 1st quickly grew on me. I like Perhaps a little bit better. I dont have a problem with GNR releasing "non-gnr'ish" material, everybody wants the next Paradise city but Ill take decent GNR music anytime as well.

I have mixed feelings about Axl screaming these days, although I accept, appreciate and love him for being on stage and making it happen even when he goes Mickey on us. What I can say is I thought he did his best screaming his ass off on Reckless Life last night, but damn I never seen his head and face so close to explosion lol. He really worked hard last night and unlike 2017 Hershey Park, he was running all over the place and hopping around non-stop, he is sure more fit that 6 years ago and its good to see him a little closer to his older form as a stage beast. He also appears much leaner, he actually wore a vest that exposed his belly a bit but I dont think he was ready for that one yet

Yeah I was surprised as Ive been to a ton of sporting events at similar facilities and nobody smokes in the stands....last night was my 3rd concert, Metallica at Metlife Stadium last week was my 2nd which also had people smoking. My first was GNR in 2017 Hershey Park and nobody smoked that I saw in their little football stadium, so yeah yeah Im was surprised. I was more expecting that if it was some park or something. All is well obviously my Metallica experience didnt stop me from going again and I do what I can to protect myself without being a dickhead, I still want people to have fun. Before Im called a "casual fan" keep in mind Ive been a GNR fan since 1987 watching Headbangers Ball as a kid and nobody in my High School during 91-95 grunge/alternative yearswas a open GNR fan like I was, I was the only guy playing GNR on guitar in the music room and I didnt give a crap what people thought of me, I stuck with my #1!!!! Hershey Park concert was a dream come true for me!

It was a great concert, loved the song lineup and heard 3 songs I never heard before, not sure if covers or originals including a song in the encore that Axl said they want to do for themselves (paraphrased.) This was my 2nd, the 1st being Hershey Park in 2017. The big bonus was Andrew Dice Clay did a quick standup before the show....his humor hasnt really aged well but it was good to see a famous face from my childhood in person. I caught some of the final songs of the Pretenders and they were great. Metallica had 80k filled up the entire stadium as they played in the middle with a circle stage about 10 days before, but I still enjoyed Guns even more. One thing that bothered me was all the pot smoke blowing all over the place, I mean I dont care if people want to smoke but come on there are other people that have to 2nd hand smoke that including Children!!!! I saw young kids watching people smoking bowls with a curiosity look on there face. Im not one to snitch and ruin a good time, just venting on here.
