Well to start with ...what a fucking show!! had to get it out of my system!. Im still in shock of seeing My all time band for the very first time, they were well worth the wait!!

First of all i must say the arena was great, atmoshpere was excellent and the crowd were a lot of fun to begin with!, while waiting for guns to come on, the crowd got bored so they decided to do mexican waves, and girls even decided to take off their bra's!!....



The lights went out, intro music was played and bang!!!, welcome to the jungle began and what a way to start, axl was awesome!, his voice was on form and throughout the show got stronger and stronger, he was truly amazing!...

They played 4 new songs which is great, The Blues,Better,I.R.S, and Madagascar and the 1 which stood out for me was I.R.S!! whoever was there will tell you that, that was the best performance so far live of that song!!, it rocked, they played a shed load of songs id give you a setlist but it would be the wrong order but ill name them..

Patience...Axl with the UK flag around him , great memories there!
Paradise City

i may have missed a song there, and also there not in order but doesnt matter really. There were loads of solo's aswell , the usual don't cry by bumblefoot , finck's solo was not so good, but Richard!!!, he deserves praise!! this guy rocked and for me was the best guitarist by far!
drummer frank was great, mixed in well, dizzy was great for what he did, and tommy was just great, laughing and joking with axl alot..and oh yeah axl was immense!!

He was polite to the crowd, he said at the start we were amazing, and when paradise had finished he thanked us all and said 'you guys are truly amzing' so to me that was touching. The gig was just superb, i hope there is a dvd of this i really do!! so worht seeing

i could chat forever but dont want to bore you guys, im so happy ive seen them!

There was 1 funny part in the show, just before I.R.S axl said richard had been doing a lot of work in the last 2 days and has hardly slept , and axl said 'yes well ive worked hard to, she was a good girl' haha made me laugh, well just telling you how the gig went!!!

rock on Guns!!

all the best guys Zak.
