I was at the show in Philly. I'll tell you, it had been 10 years since I was 18 and saw GNR in Buffalo. Axl and the gang had us wait over 2 hours between sets. Obviously some things never change. In Philly, the crowd waited for well over an hour and the band never showed up to play. If they were there, they don't show too much respect for their fans. I think that Axl Rose is a genious, but his social skills suck. He needs to get his head back into the game if he ever wants to take this band to the top again. Creating hype and news is one thing. But disrepecting his fans and creating a situation like the Philly show is complete BS. The fans were into the music, but by 10:45, it's time to play (when people know that it has to be over by midnight). Axl, please get your head together, get the band together, and more importantly get your shit together. If you can't, stay out in California and just release albums. I've been the most loyal fan throughout the past 15 years, but I can't stomach your tired act anymore. Best of luck, and keep the music coming (because there were times in my life when your words were the only thing that kept my butt alive).
