We are all going to see GUNS N' F'N ROSES. You can't explain the way we all felt. But one thing was for sure, we were going to experience something special.

As we arrived at the venue, the chants for "Guns N' Roses" could be heard in every direction. The anticipation was now growing completely out of control as I rushed my gate to get into the venue and into my seats. Being that I worked late this evening I missed the opening with The Suicide Girls. But from what I heard, it wasn't all that great, and that it would have been better if they had just got a band to play instead.

Moments after I got into my seat, the lights went down for the opener, and Canada's own, Mr. Bach. He played the Skid Row classics that really did bring back a lot of old memories of playing air guitar in front of my mirror as a kid in small town Canada. He broke into some new songs that will be on his new album to be released next year. Sebastian pointed out that as a kid and a teenager, Toronto was where he became who he is today. He made references to old clubs where he developed his monster screams and that unforgettable singing voice. He really did a great job on this night, and held the audience in the palm of his hand.

Being that I'm a huge fan of newgnr.com, I've read every review and knew that we would be waiting a bit before GNR hit that stage. So I basically just relaxed and warmed up my pipes so I could sing along with Mr. Rose. What better way to warm up the pipes with some good ol' Canadian beer.

At 11:30 I knew that at any moment those lights were going to fade to black, and I would be in heavy metal heaven. And that's exactly what happened.

11:45 to be exact, those lights did fade to black and the intro of all intros hit like a ton of bricks, and we were all welcomed to the jungle!

I'm pretty sure that I started to lose my voice midway through Jungle, but that didn't stop me from singing the rest of songs along with Axl. For what I can't remember the set list was as follows:

Welcome to the Jungle
Its So Easy
Mr Brownstone
Live and Let Die
Knockin on Heavens Door
Better
The Blues
Sweet Child O Mine
Nightrain
Used to Love Her
Patience
Down on the Farm
You Could Be Mine
November Rain
Don't Cry
Out Ta Get Me
Chinese Democracy
Paradise City
This really is a set list of set lists. It really does cover everything and anything I would possibly want to hear. Even throwing in Down on the Farm into the fold was really incredible.

The new Guns tunes really are incredible as well. I really hope that this Chinese Democracy hits the streets sooner that later because I need these songs f'n cranked in the car and in my room.

Axl sand with relative ease, making it look easy. The band played super tight and even added new elements that I truly believe where missing in their lives shows back in the day. Bumblefoot won all our hearts by playing a "Hendrix" style "O'Canada" during his solo. Truly f'n magical.

This concert is something I will never forget.
For all the new GNR haters out there who say this isn't GNR, I can tell you, this is Guns N Roses. Axl is GNR. He always was and always will be. He's was the voice of a generation, and once this new record some out, he'll be the voice of the new generation of rockers.
