Hey everyone! I just got home. I really didn't want to miss this show but I had something to take care of.

Can someone please give me a rundown? What's the show been like so far for the big Appetite30th?? 

Just your ordinarily NITL set. They sound pretty good though!

Not sure why people assume that whenever a rock star dies that GNR will immediately play homage by playing a cover of their work.

Black Hole Sun makes sense considering the connection GNR had with Soundgarden.  Other than Chester covering SCOM, I don't see GNR putting in the effort to learn and cover a LP song.

I sometimes wonder how this "reunion" would have gone had Axl not joined ACDC.  That took away the thunder from the reunion a little bit and Axl sang well for them. He used up his vocals for another band, when he should have saved it for his own band's biggest moment in 25 years.

Especially considering his passing was literally this morning...as if they had time to rehearse it with a show the same night.

Axl didn't "use up" his vocals for AC/DC.  He just chooses to sing differently with GNR than he did with AC/DC.  if anything, singing with AC/DC made him better in GNR since he was spending so much time in rehearsals.

yeah he tries in AC DC but half asses it in GNR. Its that simple. Axl has to give it his all in AC DC since he is not the boss

Not sure, but did you miss Chinese democracy, or did they not play it?
