CJ n Taz said it rocked. Not the same as real GnR but rocked none the less.

Man, I can't believe it.
They COMPLETELY rocked.

Axl was right on point, and singing as well as I've ever seen him do. With a complete drop in stage theatrics, which I really appreciated - as it really used to shit me seeimg him run up and down those ramps, and thinking more about the visual element than singing.

This time, they played pretty much every tune of Appetite (give or take maybe 3 songs), and a few from Use your Illusion 1&2.

My only gripes were the few songs they did off the new album, which were completely crap.
And also, the lead guitarist solo's seems to be an octave lower than slash used to play - yet were to the note. So it sounded a little different there.

Other than that, a killer live performance, which I really never expected.
Went in as sceptic as fuck. Got a massive suprise.

They pulled it off though - completely rocking.

4 out of 5 stars from me.

And I'm the harshest motherfuckin critic on this forum - and far from easily pleased.
So they were doing something right.

Glad it rocked, though now i'm pissed I didn't go!

Instead, I went and saw the GnR tribute band at Billboards!

They were surprisingly pretty good.

I went to see a mates band at The Espy - Arcane Saints I think and then went to Pony and saw a wikkid band called Ohana (from wollongong). Dirty rock all round.

Mates snuck in, they loved it!

They seem to be able to sneek into any big show at Rod Laver too damn easly, its rediculous.

(Sorry Nat, just saw that)

No, they didn't.

Only song they did off 'Lies' was Patience.
Would've liked to hear 'one in a million' - but that is one controversial song. Still one of my faves though.

Actually - I was completely pissed - but come to think of it, the duet he did with Sebastian Bach may have been 'I used to love her.'
Man, I can't remember - I was flogged.

Can anyone else remember?
