Guns and roses

So i paid to go see their concert last night at the Sturgis Rally. Rev Theory played first and they were pretty damn good then Alice In Chains played and they fucking blew me away..... hearing The Rooster live was almost a spirtual experiance

Guns and Roses haven't played a concert for 4 years, they haven't played a concert in North America for 10

now Alice In Chains got done playing at 10:55. Guns and roses didn't start playing until 12:40.

People were pissed. Started chanting thins like "Bullshit!" and "Asshole Rose!" (instead of axel) and throwing things on the stage. They gave no reason for the delay and with the crowd i honestly thought it was going to be a riot.

Eventually they did come out and started playing. Unfortunately they played mostly stuff from their new album Chinese Democracy, and it kind of sucked but they did play like 3 of their old songs (Paradise City, Sweet Child of Mine, and Welcome to the Jungle) which was pretty decent.

But my main point is that after all this time Axel Rose is still a bit of a whiny bitch, but at least i can say i saw one of their concerts now. IF they come to your town be warned that you might be a bit dissapointed

Were you really surprised. When shows got announced on jambase we had bets running of what would happen. No shows and tour cancellations seemed to be winning by a shit ton. Surprised they even showed.

forgot to add somebody hit Axel with a water bottle during the first song and he tried to leave in the middle of a song. They played a 2 minute long guitar solo to try and buffer it. The bass player and a roadie grabbed him and basicly pushed him back on stage

well.. guns isnt really guns without slash, izzy and duff imo. they all had major parts in writing and putting toghether the songs and also contributing alot to the vibe of the band. its sad that axl isnt letting the name go down i history as the grat band they actualy were.

(dunk spelling)

yeah he basicly got everyone to leave the band and replaced them. then bought the rights to the name guns and roses so none of the other members could even think about using it. there's 7 other members now.

too much piano. With the original members they were considered one of the ultimate rock bands, now its just kind of sad.

Axel destroyed that band when he became such a bitch that Slash, Duff, and everyone else left to start Velvet Revolver.

Chinese Democracy wouldn't have been bad if Axel had renamed the band something OTHER than Guns N Roses.

Velvet Revolver without a vocalist currently is 10 times better than the current GnR.

yeah my friend had a similar experience.

i remember in the winter i was skiing and i got a text from my friend who was at the show.

"fuck axel rose, its been an hour and a half and nothing is happened"

He did get to hear november rain though which was his sole objective for the show.

Axel Rose is just an asshole, Velvet Revolver had some really good stuff though and I'm a fan of Slash's new solo stuff he just released.

^truth, pretty sure they've been pretty much touring constantly since chinese democracy came out. But yeah loved old GNR never really felt the velvet revolver thing and new 'gnr' isn't the same at all. Really sucks that band could never figure their shit out. Slashs' bio reveals alot about the band if you care.

feel the need to claim that i bumped into axel rose while taking a piss at Sanfords today..... shook his hand (after i was done) and told him i stood in the same spot for an hour and a half to see him play. the lead guitarist handed me a guitar pick.

great time to take a piss
