About 15 minutes later, Papa Roach came on. They did pretty good as well. They put on a good show. They played for about the same time.
Now the real question came to mind. Not so much if Axl was going to play, but when he was going to play. Earlier in the show, I recall Bach shouting out that "Axl is backstage" and "Don't believe those bullshit rumors about him not showing up." Sure enough, around 11, the lights dimmed, the epic intro to Welcome to the Jungle started to play, and every worry or bad thought that was in your mind just disappeared. It was as if there was nothing on Earth that could bother you when that intro started. The crowd all stood, as Axl let out the welcoming scream of "Do You Know Where the Fuck You are!!!!!!!!!!!" Basically one word for the concert is unbelievable. No person can realize how good Axl sounds until they see a show.
The set was similar to what was played in the first two shows. The only two songs that I could recall not hearing were Madagascar and Rocket Queen. Better, The Blues, IRS, and Chinese Democracy were played and sounded damn good. I'm really happy with how the new songs sound. They give that goose bump feeling just as the old ones. I was happy to see Axl do "Used to Lover Her." That song was sweet. And of course nothing can beat watching Axl sit at the piano and play to the mind-blowing melody of November Rain. And to be honest, I really enjoyed the guitar solo Finck and Fortus put out for "Beautiful," and any person who says they don't like it is probably lying.
As the end neared, Chinese Democracy and Paradise City were played for the encore, and the show was concluded with the yell of "good fuckin' night!!!!!!" followed by a bow to the crowd.
Basically, the whole show kicked ass. And just as the other people who have reviewed their concerts, I strongly suggest any person buy a ticket to see Guns n' Roses. I base my promise on my life that this is a good show. Axl stayed true to the music, and that's what makes me a bigger fan everyday.
