Richard Fortus or is he Izzy Stradlin???: No it was Richard Fortus. He was Fantastic putting in a great performance He wore a green t- shirt and black jeans. You could tell he was enjoying himself he too interacted with the crowd. He and Tommy kept looking at the crowd and then looking at each other and smiling at each other. He also produced a solo at a speed that the great Buckethead would be proud of. 10/10
Brain: He preferred to be heard and not seen. He was fantastic displaying the precession and timing that Axl chose him for+ he never stopped smiling. He wore a black jumper and a shorts. He also wore headphones when he played. 10/10
Dizzy Reed: For a man in his forties he looks great, he has a six-pack. He showed his skills on the bongo's and the piano. He got the biggest cheer when the band was introduced. It was great to see him doing a piano solo because he never got a chance to show his talents during the UYI tour.
He wore a black leather waistcoat and black leather trousers. The Madagascar intro was FANTASTIC. 10/10
Tommy Stinson: He was brilliant. He gave it his all and some. He smiled for the whole show. He hit Every note cleanly and perfectly. He wore a brown shirt and black trousers.
He and Axl talked and joked between songs.10/10
Chris Pittman: This will be the most controversial part of the review. I think this guy was useless. He did nothing but mess around with his keyboards which were on wobbly stands. The thing is if they don’t do silkworms he has nothing to do however he does a good job getting the speeches in Madagascar in
Line. He wore a white vest and black shorts.5/10
Ron Thal: The new lad …. Absolutely brilliant. For a man who had apparently only been in the band for just 2 months he was unreal. He never put a foot wrong playing all the songs perfectly. Throughout the show he played from a fans perception joining in with the fans chants of GUNS N’ ROSES. His solo was fantastic, donning a special Bummblefoot guitar. He ,Richard and Robin seem to have a bit of chemistry when they played a bit like Slash and Izzy. He wore a red woolly hat a denim jacket and black trousers. 10/10
Robin Fink: He was great. He too made no mistakes playing all the songs perfectly giving 100%. He didn’t really talk much. If it wasn’t for the fact that I had already seen pictures of him I wouldn’t have recognised him, I have the rock in Rio 3 DVD and he has changed a awful lot. His stage presence was immense , his solo was great and he was in a great mood. He wore a white t shirt with a black waist coat and black trousers.10/10
Overall this was a great show everyone was energetic and in a great mood. The new material was perfect. If they were to put it out on a dvd it would be the best one of the lot.
