hello all... its about 3 30am new york time and i have just returned home from the guns show. not many times i can use that like without sounding stupid so roll with it. i have not read other posts yet since i just wanted to get this up, so forgive me if i repeat something.
first off, one word, flawless... except for a little cough he let out during patience with 2 songs left to go. axl smirked and made the so-so hand gesture and the crowd cheered for him.

ok, i couldnt stand bullet and neither could anyone else. not even the 60yr old couple standing near me. what they were doing there your guess is good as mine. they went down with the rush of people during wttj. never saw them after, hope they are okay.
so....as the lights went down the air filled with marijuana smoke and people began to scream as the synth wailed. the longest set since, including kohd and patience... i dont think we will get much more. still minus twat, but they played all the other new tracks very well. uncle axl was quite the comedian too... he had quite the few zingers. he spoke to the crowd a lot, and never was left without a smile. "i leave my room and put on a coat and some crazy hat and duck down in a cab, and still a truck driver will pull up to us and go, axl! hey man!... how the hell do you all find me?!" something to that effect. he said he spoke to izzy and the phone today and said the shows were going very well, izzy wished him best luck with it all being how great ny has treated them in the past. axl yelled at security during a song bc they were too tough on the crowd. they didnt want crowd surfing or girls on mens sholders. axl chimes in mid line "stop with that fucking shit". he also acknoledged that we were the origonal first date, "you dont think i know that?!" thought we would get something special, but no.
many more solos this time, acl would run off and i assume take care of his voice. one solo, fink and fortus take the stage. they begin playing and soon enough it takes shape to christine agulera "beautiful". sounded great. fortus ended it by kissing fink. side note; stinson flipped off a crowd memeber during the last few songs, why i dont know.
axl was very lovey dovey with all the band mates except ron. all players who could move around would, except ron unless it was his turn to solo. fink/fortus had a nice joking time on stage while ron was left alone. only once did axl touch/hug ron, during the line in chinese democracy "No it don't really matter You're gonna leave these thing to Somebody else". very odd i thought. you conclude your own thoughts. althought during a song ron stuck his guitar out into the crowd for them to strum, very cool.
all in all great show. topless woman, guns n roses playing like a fused band..... but i must say there was a lot of hate in the crowd. not that they booed ron, but physical fights multiple times. it was to bad some had to get hurt and be ejected over drunken problems. youd think we could have all came together for one night under gnr rule... if other thoughts come to mind i will add on. others who went feel free to add as well. cheers.
