Axls_Disillusion Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 so yea the show was fucking awesome :I met Robin Finck ;D Me and my friend were debating getting in line, but it was so long my friend didn't want to, so we go sit at some slot machines, and i look over and there is Robin walking really really fast across the casino floor with his guitar case, and he had 2 females with him. He made it to the elevator before I could catch up with him, but my friend and I were sitting there bullshiting outside the elevators for a few minutes and he came back down. i was nervous about approaching him because if he would have blown me off it would have ruined everything, so i turned around but my friend wouldn't let me go. He walked up to Robin with me and I said 'DUDE!! can I just shake your hand??" and he said 'sure of course!', and I gave him my ticket to sign and he signed both of my tickets, and then I told him he was my favorite guitar player and the look on his face was priceless. It was like a look of shock and happiness at the same time and he thanked me. Robin is a real stand up, humble guy. I shook his hand again and let him go do his thing, because this was right before the show and I didn't want to hold him up. but yea that was definitly the highlight of the night for me. I was a star struck idiot and I could barely talk lol. But yea he was very very cool!The show was awesome. We went in towards the end of the opening bands set. They were better than I expected. Didn't seem like that long of a wait for the band to come on afterwards, maybe an hour. The sound wasn't as good as it was in New York, at some points you couldn't even hear Axl. I remember he left the stage during Paradise City probably to go yell at some sound guy :hihi: WTTJIts So EasyMr BrownstoneLive and Let DieRObin Solo (this was different then anything I've heard)Sweet Child Of MineBetter (best song of the night!)Knockin on Heavens DoorYou Could Be MineDizzy SoloThe BluesRichard Solo/BeautifulOut Ta Get MeNovember RainIRSBumblefoot SoloMy MichellePatienceRocket QueenNightrainMadagascarParadise City (no robin solo)I'm pretty sure thats accurate, but i might have a couple songs mixed up.I noticed Chris having trouble with his setup during Its So Easy, wasn't sure what was going on there.Bumblefoot was 100% improved from when I last saw him in NY. In NY, he kind of seemed on the side and not as big a part of the band. But he was all over the place last night. It was cool to have Brain back Axl joked that he named his new son Axl :hihi:Other highlights for me were Out Ta Get Me, Nightrain, and Paradise CityRobin fell down during the ending of Rocket Queen. Right on his ass. :hihi: Axl helped him back up, it was just as he was starting his outro solo. 8) Robin is a God. I wouldn't trade him in this band for anybody.Oh yea, and my friend who went with me has never heard any of the new songs, and he really liked Better and IRS. I expected him to be a little bit bored with the new stuff, but he seemed to enjoy those songs as much as My Michelle and Paradise City (his favorite GNR songs)I'll be back tomorrow with word on tonights show. I'll scan my ticket stubs once I get back to Arizona. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patience 4 Axl Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 LOL, Finck falling on his ass during Rocket Queen was fucking priceless! Definitley the best part of his performance that entire night.You met Finck?If Finck knew what you do for a job, he wouldn't have shook your hand you have no idea how funny that really is. I shot a girl earlier that afternoon, so Finck indirectly touched her pussy So with that profound way of thinking, I guess you can say he indirectly touched your dick too since I'm sure you took a leak sometime during the day...

Calm Like A Bomb Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I loved the way you first spotted him A_D, walking through the casino with his guitar case and two females. I mean how fucking cool can Finck get, the guy is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
