Black Sabbath Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Axl was in a fantastic mood. Didn't get any handshakes, but plenty of eye contact and he was loving the crowd. This show was easily the best of the 4 I've now seen.Will post more tomorrow including some pictures. Got at least a 3 hour drive then crashing until whenever.Amazing show, have a great night guys!

GNR123GNR456 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) I got tons of pictures on my android. Couldn't use my digital camera because I didn't want to get in trouble, and nobody was using a camera. I was standing on the guard-rail to technical stuff, so there was security around there and other personal. Show was awesome, that's all I can say about it. 3 hours of GN'R was completely worth 170 bucks.

Black Sabbath Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Just made the 3 hour trek home safe. Hit the 24 hour mark for being awake, also! Crashing now, who knows when I'll wake up. I'll post more when I do, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonah Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I'm thinking GNR have been reading this board, someone said Shackler's should be later in the setlist and there it is, played at like the 2 hour mark of the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabia Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) Here's a positive review:Concert Review: Guns N' Roses rocks House of Blues for more than three hoursBy SCOTT CRONICK, Staff Writer |ATLANTIC CITY - When Axl Rose took the House of Blues stage early Saturday morning to drunken cheers, chants and eager fans, it was one of those amazing rock concert moments when everyone there knew they were in for something special.They were right.Rose brought his latest incarnation of Guns N’ Roses to the intimate Showboat Casino-Hotel concert hall, in what was arguably the biggest show there since Eminem opened the joint in 2005.GNR did not disappoint, performing more than 30 songs in a three-hour-plus concert that was loud, edgy and epic, just like a GNR show should be.Billed the “Up Close and Personal” tour, the band’s trek to smaller venues offered a different experience for GNR fans. Up until this point, GNR played arenas and large outdoor festivals. To see Rose and his amazingly talented ensemble in such a small setting was beyond a treat: It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that may have very well been worth the hundreds of dollars ticket brokers were getting online for the show, which sold out soon after it went on sale.“Up Close and Personal” showed a tighter band than their previous arena tours. There was no pyro this time around. But they played longer, they played tighter and they seemed to revel in the fact that the audience was an arm’s-length away, particularly Rose, who still has that rock star swagger and looked cool with a black fedora taking the place of the cornrows he once spotted during the band's peak of popularity.GNR pulled no punches, offering an all-out rock assault that included most of the hits fans would want to hear.Opening with the title track of "Chinese Democracy," the band's latest release, they steamrolled right into “Welcome to the Jungle,” perhaps the band’s best and most popular song before going into two companion songs from “Appetite for Destruction,” "It's So Easy" and "Mr. Brownstone."The Los Angeles -based rockers played three-quarters of "Appetite," the band’s 1987 debut album that propelled GNR to superstardom, including "You’re Crazy,” “Rocket Queen,” “Nighttrain,” the superbly performed "Sweet Child O’Mine” and the smash hit “Paradise City,” which served as the night’s finale.The songs from “Appetite” went over the best, with good reason. They are more about sex, drugs and rock ’n’ roll and have a raw, rock sound reminiscent of Aerosmith and AC/DC than the band’s later stuff, particularly “Use Your Illusion I” and “II,” which became less in your face and more epic, polished and Queen-like as Rose focused on his own self persecution. Most of those songs have aged well and will always be played among some of the best rock ever recorded.That said, the entire Guns catalog, albeit small, is impressive and GNR is perfectly content to be a band rooted in ’70s and ’80s influences and styles. Even 2008’s underrated “Chinese Democracy,” from which GNR played about a half dozen songs Saturday, didn’t reinvent the band’s sound, even though it was 17 years in the making.And that is what makes Rose and GNR so cool. They are proud of what they are. And the songs from “Chinese” played on Friday – particularly “Better,” “Shackler’s Revenge” and the title track – are awesome songs.Other highlights included “Illusion” tracks such as “Don’t Cry,” “Estranged," "Civil War” and covers of Paul McCartney and the Wings “Live and Let Die” and Bob Dylan’s “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door.” Particularly impressive was “November Rain,” a sprawling masterpiece with Rose on piano that was as amazing live as it was from the studio. And they surprised the crowd, deviating from their normal setlist to cover AC/DC's "Whole Lotta Rosie," breathing new life into the classic song.The mellow “Patience,” known best for Rose’s whistling, and the more punky “Used to Love Her” were the only tracks played from 1998’s “Lies.”Rose’s schizophrenic writing style is what makes GNR so popular and still relevant. And no matter what era of GNR you point to, Rose’s endless stream of underlying anger is always the impetus that drives his powerful creations.At 50 years old, Rose’s voice remains awesome, hitting the ridiculously high notes he wrote for himself when he was young and fearless. His stage energy and showmanship remain impressive as he shimmies like a snake and is always giving it his allRose has surrounded himself with an ensemble of awesome musicians, particularly guitarists DJ Ashba and Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal, as well as keyboardist Dizzy Reed, the longest member of GNR outside of Rose.The band also had fun stretching out as guitarist Richard Fortus' solo offered a blistering version of the James Bond theme, bassist and Replacements member Tommy Stinson sang his own song, the catchy "Motivation," Reed played a solo piano version of The Who's "Baba O'Reilly" and Thal offered a less-than-inspiring guitar solo of the theme from the "Pink Panther."So what is the next chapter for GNR? Many think the band’s April induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will become a reunion of sorts with Axl, Slash and the boys. But to be honest, while that might be fun and nostalgic for fans, isn’t it enough to continue to see a seemingly happy Rose rock out with a great band than a half-hearted reunion that is only doomed to end badly?http://www.pressofatlanticcity.com/ats/inside_story/concert-review-guns-n-roses-rocks-house-of-blues-for/article_94057df4-5f8e-11e1-852c-001871e3ce6c.html Edited February 25, 2012 by rabia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purely Magnetic Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Just woke up after 3 hours sleep. Keep reliving the night. All my expectations were beyond exceeded last night for my second show. I was able to have my Waited 19-1/2 years for this moment sign that is featured on the website signed by Axl thanks to Fernando. We also waited for Axl in the Foindation room for about 2 hours after the show and he showed up around 5. It was incredible to see him off the stage and even got to touch him! Unfortunately he was not there long as they turned off the music and he was pretty pissed about that , kind of like he just got to the party and then they started shutting down. Anyway, the show itself was insanely good and am convinced that is as good as it will ever get for me, being that close to him, I was front and center with black sabbath all night. He sounded amazing the whole night, hit all the notes effortlessly. I have never seen him so jovial and happy on stage than he was last night. I got the first big smile out of him of the night during jungle with my Axl, your sexy and I know it sign! He seemed to enjoy that! And the smiles kept coming, so my eye contact all might, if you don't believe me ask black sabbath! Axl was having a blast last night! He is still pretty sick as he was blowing his nose and coughing on the side of the stage between songs. How he managed that show and that sound with a head cold is remarkable. Okay, that is it for now, tired of typing on my tiny iPhone screen, if there are any mistakes that is why! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually just wandering around with my gf and next thing ya know I was in the room Axl wound up in. But by the time I noticed, he got pissed that there was no music and he rushed out. Just my luck! Tremendous show though. Still shaking off my hangover! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
