Actually I didn't quite hear what he said. Apparently he had a hard time pronouncing Hämeenlinna, because that's a very hard word to pronounce in english!

Well, Helsinki would be easier to pronounce. It's like HELL SINKING 

Kuvahaun tulos haulle hell sinking pictures

P.S. There was some speculation that the gig started late  on purpose. The amount of light that we have here in the middle of the summer (even if it's evening/night) can be a surprise to foreign artists. If they would've started earlier the light show  wouldn't have looked so good. I don't know how much truth there is to this.

Yeah, I like all the new songs that they have played live since 2006.

Couple people next to me where like "what is this" and "what record is this from?" they didn't seem to like the new stuff. 

I heard a few people singing along to the Chinese Democracy chorus, same with Better, but yeah overall the crowd was kind of confused

Because the NITL version is based on the 1999 demos/2001 live performances.

No it's not. 2001 live performances included different intro, drums, and less guitars and more Pittman.

Chinese Democracy 1999 demo never leaked..

At least a decent rock song and blends in well with the Guns catalog.. It is short and everyone is still buzzing from ISE and Brownstone..  Better is just awkward and sound s like 3 different awful industrial songs patched together. Confused is a good work for when that turd gets busted out.

I think it sounds more like "alternative rock" or "modern rock" rather than industrial (I think bands like Coil or Ministry when I hear the word "industrial")

But yeah going from the classic GN'R material to CD songs is... jarring.

It was good for the viewing pleasure of the audience that the starting time was delayed, because the sun would have been too distracting.

I can agree with that, it shone right into my eyes until 21:30 or something hahah.

No, listening to it again, he does say Jarmo Town, but I'd never guessed. I wonder how many people know what that meant? Maybe a lot, as he's from Finland? Would casuals get that? I thought only us forum nerds knew Jarmo.

No. Casuals in Finland do not know who Jarmo is and that is a fact. He is not famous at all.

On Friday Duff was shopping for couple hours, and Slash had dinner in the restaurant Groteski. Slash had a bodyguard with him and didn't give any autographs.

According to a comment here Axl had his meal in the restaurant Pancho Villa

Neither do die hard fans unless they are members of a forum. It's a shame that Jarmo gets mentioned when Finland has famous people,who are well known all over the world. Like for example Formula 1 drivers. Michael Monroe was the opening act. Mc Bob could've mentioned him and his legendary band.

Yep. I wouldn't be surprised if Jarmo asked McBob to mention him.
