Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Noticed we didn't have one of these. Well, I live in ice-cold Sweden so I am not going, but I hope those of you who are will have an awesome time! Anyone knows if someone will provide updates?

Enjoy!

-DW

Too Soon!

Hopefully I'm the first to predict in this thread that GNR will/won't play a bunch of new tunes tonight, and that there will/won't be an album announcement. (Circle applicable.)

I'm going to be in Toronto and Ottawa, which are  a week away, so I'm curious as to whether any new songs will show up tonight... I sure as hell hope so, since that might mean we get them next week.

I hope somebody could do some video of this show.
Those americans are blaming security for not videoing shows, but thats crap at most arenas according to my americans friends.
If you want to get in with a videoplayer or a good mobilphone camera you just do that.
I hope the americans dont blow the chance to pay back the europeans that has feeded them with mp3 and videos for a year now.

When i wake up tomorrow i want to edit: gnr madison garden 2006 at youtube.com and watch as i steak my egg and beacon and drink my FUCKING plenty of suger added Florida fucking orange juice.

Yeah, I wouldn't say no to watch a full-length clip of Prostitute tomorrow morning....  :drool:

You bring the camera, I'll pay for the hooker.

My prediction is another normal show, maybe one or two old songs that havn't been played yet but thats it.

Deal.

Oh wait, I am not even in the States... Can you send hookers over e-mail?

I don't believe it's ever been tried. They'd have to be flexible to fit down those little tubes.

Its just another daaaaaaay yeahyeyy..

I dont care. Let Axl do it his way. Serious, dont you think he has a little plan with what he is doing.

Its only the die hard/die hard forum fans that want to hear new songs. The old and new public has to hear the legacy from the AFD period that is a undying chapter. There would be a good period/hearing for us when some of the new songs would be implanted in the shows among the old stuff.

hey guys.....im going tonight. if anyone wants me to TEXT some messages, ill willing to. not the setlist, but anything out of the ordinary. PM me and let me know, ill give you my cell number.

TONIGHT IS GOING TO ROCK!!!! THIS IS MY 5TH GNR SHOW THIS YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


who else is going?

I'll be there - I'm expecting a kick-ass show - full of energy - great crowd - great participation - hopefully great sound - but I am absolutely NOT going
in there expecting to hear Prostitute, Sorry, or anything else that I have never heard -  I want Madagascar as the Encore - oh yes, I almost forgot -
Drop Knocking on Heaven's Door & Live & Let Die ( probably a total of 10 minutes ) and replace with Estranged!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :yes:

cool Coma.....ill be on the floor, 11th row i think, with my fiancee. should be awesome!!


NYC loves...WORSHIPS....Axl Rose and Guns N' Roses. "To the strongest city in the world!"

The show will be great it Axl shows up relatively early.
Maybe 9:45 pm. It will make for a better show.

MNW

im actually hoping for likean 11pm start...im not leaving until after 9 cuz i have to DJ at a party....so im getting in the car and shooting down to nyc.....10:45-11 would be great. but whatever, its friday night, not like last sunday, when i had to leave early and missed the end of the show.

Down on the Farm tonight????? TWAT tonight????? Come on Axl, show us some love back!!! :)

They should play the song "The Garden" tonight.   :yes:

7 hours if he follow normal schedule, 6 if he's nice.

thats funny. great idea!

To bad I won't be here tonight...

I see that happening too.. would be cool.
I'll be here reading live updates as well. Keep us informed ^_^

i really hope they use the oprotunity of the one massive show on the tour to show the usa what a badas motherfucking band they are!!!!1


Wak out a 3 hour set or something!!!!!!!!


i doubt we will hear anything new but, i really hope we do!

an announcement about the album, id say 99% positive no chance!

Who's doing updates tonight?  :)

I'll be there too. I'm just hoping for a great show, though I wouldn't mind You're Crazy or Perfect Crime if they wanted to play it!

my mum and sister from england...

have gone new york this weekend!!

They have only got tickets for the gig been rubbing it in my face big time!!

gutted

but hope the show is the bollocks

 : ok:

Enjoy that bro - I'll be up in the 200's somewhere, but I'll be so shitfaced by the time they take the stage , I will not even care -
Gonna head into the Garden about 9:30 - grab a drink get my seat, and then I figure an hour tops from there
Going with 7 other guys - a few huge fans, a few average fans just going to check it out and a few just going to have a good time ( these are the ones who are asking " So it's Axl Rose and who?????? " ?I just tell em' it's Axl - and you're in for a treat

Will give full update at some point tomorrow -

Later :beer:

 ?I'm leaving for Hoboken in about 20 min then my buddy and I are gonna pound a bunch of beers, smoke some weed and make our way to MSG around 8ish. ?I look forward to seeing all of you guys tonight!!!!!!

I live in Paris but to be honnest i'm dawn exited for tonight's show. I can almost feel the vibe coming from NYC? :hihi:
Good fucking show, I'm sure it will be a special night in the strongest city in the world : ok:

i'll be leaving for the city in 20 minutes. it's fuuny because i work only a dew blocks from the garden and now i'm home going back to were i just was. All for GNR!!!! I'll be in section 89.

Isn't there a curfew at MSG? ?I think Guns will take the stage earlier than they have been.. like in 2002? ?Didn't they take the stage about an hour earlier in 2002 than they normally did? ?They were also going on about an hour - an hour and a half earlier in 2002 then they are in 2006.

Hope you don't miss too much of the show!

Sec 228 :-\

I am envious of everyone going to any of the shows, especially this one. But I hide it well. Bastards.

Let's have a nice, clear boot of this one guys.  :hihi:

Sec 50, row A, seats 1 and 2....Baby!!!!! :smoking:

"The Motherfucker is done" (remember The UYI) :)

Hey-to everyone going tonight-have a great f'in time! To those who've never seen them, be prepared to lose your mind! 

I'm a lifelong Noo Yawker. I opted not to go this time. Let someone else have the chance.

I'll be checking in tomorrrow morning for the updates. Of course hoping for something new, but if not, it don't matter. GNR + MSG = EVERYTHING!

Take care and be safe!? :beer:

Snead

Have alot of fucking fun, everyone going!!

Updates [and discussion] will take place in this thread http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/board/index.php?topic=39006.0 thanks to DTJ and Brody at rosesofvelvet.com  :beer:

Everyone have fun, and be safe.

Watch out for those gypsies with blonde hair at The Garden...  : ok: :peace: :smoking:

I think tonight it's TWAT night. : ok: :peace:
remember me
ohhh yeah!  :hihi: :drool:

And dont whine if they dont do anything special or dont tell you the date of the end of the universe.

Doubt we will hear a totally new song, but a chance of something not played on the tour yet - TWAT would be great, Perfect Crime or Nice Boys would work too. Anyway, I don't really care what they play, if it's anything like as good as Hammerstein that will do for me. Oh yeah, 209 :)

Good luck tonight GNR!

I also doubt there will be anything new tonight, however I think that if any performance before the album release has a chance of containing anything we haven't heard before, it's this one.

First of all, they've already played five concerts (including the accousic set) in NYC this year.
Second, this will be their first sold-out show of the tour (starting Oct. 24th), being the biggest audience yet.

They've shut down sections of the forum at Mygnrforum.com (other than the news section), so I guess they believe something might happen?

why are u assuming this?

I hope we are getting updates?  A couple of people have asked but I don't see where anyone has answered. :o


Edit:  Just saw the update thread.

I don't know. It's just funny that they've shut down everything except the news & MSG threads today. They may be expecting A LOT of visitors. Shutting down board sections would help keep the board online in a case like that, wouldn't it? ????

I can't wait to hear some reviews about this show...  : ok:

(This is my first post at HTGTH! A hell of a forum, I must say. I'm an argentinian GNR's fan, from www.uzisuicide.com.ar, the biggest all-spanish gunner forum.)

Something big's going to happen today...
I have the feeling that tonight is Rock Am Ring's lasts night as the best perrmormance of GNR since comeback.

Where is the update thread? I haven't been here in awhile, so I have no clue where to find it. Thanks.  :)

Welcome bud. This place is as big and professional as u can get in the GNR world.

They only did that because they are expecting increased traffic tonight because of the big show, so they are trying to keep the site going by doing that. Don't read any more into it than it is.

oh my god the world is ending?

EDUCATED GUESS :   Civil War will be in tonight's setlist ---  Veteran's Day ---  would bet big on it

any updates?

Waiting for GNR to come on....

In our forum there's one man than is in the show

He will be in contact with the user "Matt", so, in that web there Uploads

This forum is from argentina like me, and we talk in spanish

http://inthejungle.9.forumer.com/index.php?showtopic=12163&st=30&#entry238178

Awesome, can you translate to english when he sends updates and post them here?  :beer:

I should have gone tonight, why didn't I go tonight.  Ohh yeah I spent my money on Jersey for better seats.  Ohh yeah and didn't know they'd be releasing open seats late.  Fuck me.  I hope they don't do anything special. 

Hey, is there a webcast of this show?

I can try to translate, though I don't speak spanish that well..

damn i got goosebumps when i read the show started ..i can`t imagine how excited it must be to be there  ;D  :beer:

are the updates slow coming in tonight?

This show, is the most important show for the new GNR to date, IMHO.  This will set the stage for the upcoming year--with the AP story being carried by virtually every news service on the planet, they are in the news.  A follow up to that news blip, with reviews of "GNR rocks NYC!" will really be a huge boost to the band and their confidence!  It is going to be tough to top the 2002 MSG and Hammerstein shows, but I have a feeling this band seems to rise to the challenge and loves the spotlight.  Huge show, and although I hate to say it, in some ways it's a make or break situation.

heard robin solo... ? ? jeezus kryst ?:crying: ?so beautiful ?:D

thanks dave!

 :love: Robin ? :drool:



was anyone able to figure out anything at all from the baz clip... i swear that i heard "FUCK FUCKIN FUCKER FUCKETY FUCK FUCK FUCK..!" ?:hihi:

I bet axl and the boys are really bringing it tonight. any audios>?

not yet... but:

 :o
lol!
i'd prob sprain a finger texting "unbelievable"!

This is great to hear  : ok:

how is thw show been any cock ups??

like sound??

 ???

Has there been any rants tonight?

So glad i didn't go.... meaning I already went and tickets are very expensive, probably due to their 'overtime' coverages.

Tickets were 57 dollars in 02 and they are now 90, that's a crazy jump man

It is possible you might of had fun and enjoyed yourself even if they didn't play anything new, but I'm sure you had more fun sitting at home on the internet bitching about the setlist anyway.

holtzman,

I just meant I saw them in Jersey and would have been kicking myself if they played something crazy.  I'm not bitching technically.

It wasn't meant to be hilarious, sweet heart. And why don't you try reading next time before you act like a tool.

Well I can't wait to hear a bootleg, dispite nothing new being played im sure the band was sounding great and im sure someone bootlegged the show.  :beer: BTW How many people does MSG hold?

EDIT: Right when I posted this Welcome to mcdougles came on vh1 illustrated on MTV 2  :hihi: :hihi:

Sounds like this would have been a killer show. Wish I could have been there. I will see them in Cleveland soon enuff.


Sincerely,

Duff II.

I just hope they rocked MSG like they did in '02... except even harder... and as far as the set list goes... we all would have cut our left arms off in '02 to hear Better or IRS or Used to Love Her or My Michelle (with Baz) or Bumblefoot's Don't Cry solo, etc... :drool: This is NOT the same setlist as '02. :rant:

it was a killer show...Jungle opened and in the middle of the song a girl hands Axl something..I think a Brazilian flag off on the left end of the stage..Not sure if it was a Brazilian flag but the colors were similar.

A few people from I gather the seats section tried to hop over the barricades between the GA section and seated floor section.

Just got back.

REst assured...Axl was simply amazing, the band was slammin. my only complaint would be with frank's timing during the outro to nightrain and the outro to paradise city. but an awesome show!!

robin went into the crowd for the outro of nightrain....he looked f-cked up! lol he played well tonight!!!!

Axl didnt say too much, they played used to love her, Better sounded awesome, CD sounded great, the Blues sounded great...Jungle was intense....no rocketqueen....Patience rocked!!

the crowd was ELECTRIC. i got there about 10:30, they started at about 11:11. crpwd was pumped, chanting for GNR during the intermission between PR and GNR. NYC loves Axl Rose. I saw Beta to the side of the stage. Baz was his crazy self...to quote Axl "Never a dull moment" with regards to Baz.

im not sure ANYTHING can compare to 2002 in MSG, but this show was amazing. the crowd was SOO loud, singing along to every song...well almost every song. lively, exciting crowd!!!

What was the kid iduring the bach set thrown out for?


 :peace:

I'd like to add.

Bach...8;01pm..finished at 9pm..
P roach started 9:32 and ended a bit after 10:16pm
Guns up at 11:10pm and finished at 1:24am with the entire band taking their bows and house lights up at 1:28am.

While I cant say this was better or equal to 2002, it comes close to it without question. ?Axl's voice was energetic.

I did wish they played Madagascar and Rocket Queen but you can get so much in such a period of time.

I think he flipped him though I couldn't tell from my vantage point. Jesus right on the opening number Bach gets security and boom the guys go after the dude.

i dont know...i was DJing tonight, i didnt get there until about 10:30 or so....the place was pretty full, people knew Axl might start early in NYC....thats why i was so worried about getting there late.....but when we walked in, PR was long gone....so it worked out perfect actually.

Axl seemed in a good mood again tonight. i gotta say again though...tons of love from the crowd!!! NJ was a blah show....sunday night, lots of tired people, lots of people mad about work on Monday....Tonight....this crowd was PUMPED. VERY LOUD singing, u couldnt hear Axl on songs like SCOM, Patience, November Rain b/c the crowd was so loud.

robin had a cool solo....Fortus was better sunday night for his solo, but his was great tonight nonetheless. if i walked away with anything...it was the crowd being so loud, and soooo pumped to see their man!

after the show, the streets of nyc were filled with Axl and GNR talk.

!st song? Thats fucked. Unless this kid was papping baz' mum then he should not have been booted straight up

 :peace:

What a way to start the night..first song on an opening band and boom..tossed out...ejected.

There were a few people trying to get into GA but security took em out. big time..

Just got back. The show was fucking awesome. Axl's voice was on target all night. The band sounded really good alot of energy and Ron fucking solo was fucking great. FUCK man ron is an animal. Robing crowd surfin at the end of nightrain was priceless. My buddys friend caught the whistle that axl threw during paradise city. what a great fucking crowd. they rocked all night. i saw beta and it looked like her daughter rockin hard on the side of stage during irs, jumping up and down having a great time. This show might become my favorite 2006 show. i loved the hammerstein but this was great. i was soaking wet with swet right after brownstone. all i can say i wow, and thank you to the band for making this a really special night.? ?:beer:

With the greatest band in the world playing in the greatest arena in the world how can you lose?   :beer:

This is the part where I start getting jealous...  >:(  :P


Glad you guys had such a great time  :beer:

I dont think its possible man. Thats a winning combination

its good to know the people who were actually there got a great show.   

didn't expect any less.  ;D

Show rocked, but expect an angry but loving rant tomorrow if I have the chance. B***h  and speculate about this post all you want.

Yea the kid that got thrown out was with me...he was fuckin wasted but he was just holding the middle finger up.

I saw baz start lookin at him and pointed him out to the gaurds and baz more or less said, you want some come and get it.  my friend just stood there all wasted still with the middle finger up lol'

He actually got back into MSG cause he went and bought a new shirt and hat and told the head of security he had to call his mom and didnt have service, so they let him back in suprisingly.  but nonetheless, it was funny and we had a good time after!   GNR fucking rocks!

the show was average.  exactly what i expected... no complaints...

The crowd was very well behaved.

Unlike Hammer.

EXACTLY! I went last night, and while I thought it was a great show, It was very average. Here's a quick review:

BACH: One word...Awful. He sucked hard, and you almost felt bad, because he mentioned how happy he was to finally be playing MSG. But his new music sucks, and he kept on yelling to someone off stage about the sound. Regardless of what people who had GA tickets say, no one was into him. If those people could turn around they'd see people in their seats bored. People cheered for Youth Gone Wild and some Skid Row classics but that was it.

PAPA ROACH: By the end of Papa Roach's set, I think they made a lot of new fans. They were excellent and really got the crowd pumped. Shaddix can sing his ass off and he just has great energy. It was a great idea to have them on the tour, one of the better and successful opening bands I've seen. Really got the job done.

GUNS: I guess the surprise of the night was how tight the band sounded and the fact that there were ZERO sound problems. Otherwise, typical set, no down on the farm, or perfect crime like some thought there would be. I think a few people walked away dissapointed just because we were all waiting to here something special for MSG and it didn't come. But the band was terrific, like I said, really tight, and wowed the crowd. Sold Out? Not at all, there were lots of empty seats up in the 300 and 400 sections. But GNR owned every person who was there

I wasn't there obviously but if people in the pit were into him wouldn't that mean that someone was into him? Maybe not the whole place but maybe at least the people down front?

the only empty seats i saw were the closed sections behind the stage. It looked liked the uppers were filled pretty tight.

The GNR average = awe-some.  ;D

thanks for the reviews!

And the crowd was great and even the sound staff there(of the venue?) did a good job?
then the show must have been amazing .

dude, there the only open seats in the entire place were behind the stage and some in the back 300, 400 sections after 1230-- i guess people left, but when GNR hit the stage, that place was packed--

what was the setlist i cant find the update thread

1. Welcome To The Jungle
2. It's So Easy
3. Mr. Brownstone
4. Live And Let Die
5. Robin Finck Solo
6. Sweet Child O' Mine

Bach was awesome even though his sound was off. And I was surprised more people were not into him on the floor. The people in the seats were. AT worcester Bach got more cheers than papa roach did. Bach even alluded to that last nite when he said for the last song at least be as loud as the last crowd the other night. I cant belive you thought he sucked. HIs voice was great. I cant belive you think that the papa roach singer sang better than Bach. Papa roach sucks. 

As for the show not being sold out. The show was sold out. There were very few empty seats and those were sold, they were either from people who didnt make the show or scaplers they couldnt sell the tix.  For the seats that were avaible 99% of them were fllled.

it was great meeting asn seeing all the people at the pre-party, ii am very gladi went to the show early was able tyo get right up front and center...got to meet bumblefoot sometime around when bach was playing...had a great time, too many bruises tho igot my friends seats in sec 89 and went and visited them a few times, then went back to ga, very cool beinga ble to go basically anywhere in the bldg...my freinds are just casual fans and had a great time...absoltely loved the performance and the way the band and axl sounded...btw i believe at least 1 maybe ppl were taping the show right next to my friends and apparently is gonna share...jazjme was right there maybe he knows something about this :peace:

Ok so i was at the show too i was on the baracade on the left of the stage and it was fuckin great heres my review

Right when i got there bumblefoot was there and me and my friend started yelling his name and he came over, gave everyone high-fives and even posed for a picture with us. then when bach came on u blew he was getting pissed at the sound guy and was also mad that the people didnt know the words to his songs, sorry but its not our faults that skid row sucks ass (sebastian is a dickhead) then papa roach came on and they were great jumpin around gettin the crowd into it and even jumping into the crown he was right in front of me, then gnr came on and it was fuckin great the place was packed out, bumblefoot threw me and my friend pics and the whole band seemed into it, fink crowd surfed, he seemed drunk outta his mind most the show, fortus is great too had so much energey the whole show, tommy just seemd to be there not doing much but he did seem 2 have fun, and frank was great u could tell how much fun he was having. then me and my friend ran 2 the middle of GA 4 the wistle during paradise city and we both alomst had it , it was so dark and i saw it barely leaned down to get it and some guy slid on the floor picked it up outta my hand and ran i was soo pissed, after the show we wetn to where they leave and we saw scott ian and sebastian bach, scott was in such a rush and woulndt stop 4 everyone, bach was shakin people hands and takin pictures (prob just so people could recognize him) then we were waiting outside hoping 4 GNR but then we knew they werent comin out 4 awhile as a pizza guy brought about 16 pies into the garden, never has pizza got my hopes down lol i could just imagine that phone call "hi yes i would like 16 pies of pizza to madison sqaure garden under then name Axl rose please" anyway thats my review in all great show, sure alitle upset that no news on chinese democract but hey i aint gunna let that ruin my fun time

Bach even alluded to that last nite when he said for the last song at least be as loud as the last crowd the other night.
Uhhh...hello? That's my point. MSG wasn't loud for Bach because he stunk the place up. People in the GA were into him, but everyone else was sitting down and watching the train wreck that was his performance.

Couldn't agree more.  Def not a bad show, but def not a GREAT show either.  I'm glad I didn't spend a ton of money on tickets.

The sound in the 300s was kinda weak, was tough to hear axl for a few songs, but the crowd was singing a long to most of them so you oculdn't hear him anyways.

LOTS of people sitting down during the solos and the new songs.  weird crowd around us too, there were some dudes literally in their 40s-50s behind us, one guy had a cane! haha.  but they were rocking out.

good show though, it was a fun night.  Rose Pizzeria is the BEST place to go to pre concert  : ok:

You know there were alot of older people at the shows I was at too. I saw several people in their 50s at the shows I was at.

Plus then you've got that one guy from West Virginia's infamous story about the grandma that kept grabbing him.

He didnt stink up the place. The only full section was teh floor when he went on. When he went on in worcester the place was half full. The reason it wasnt loud for bach is not because he sucked it was because no one was there? yet. His performance was far from a train wrek. He sang great. I really dont know what set you were watching. The fact is no one was standing for papa roach either in the seated section.

Finck was my favorite guitarist going into the night but i thought his solo sucked so hard. I gained so much respect for Ron and my new fav richard.

really I loved robins solo I liked it much more than rons or richards.

normally, i like fortus' solo the best. but i thought finck was trippy, crazy, wild, nasty, messy, creative, dynamic...all-in-all, he was good last night..ron is cool and all...i dont know, i dont dig his look or playing. fortus is amazing on guitar.

My only problem with Rons guitar playing is that he some times shreds when its not needed. I still dont like his shredding KOHD solo, it doesnt fit the song. BHs made the song sadder how it should  be. Ron just shreds it.  A few other songs he shreds too when he shouldnt be but Ron is great on most songs

i agree. the knockin shred doesn't work. honestly, i dont like shredding too much at all...although i did love BH's playing. not going there.

You must have been at a different show than I last night. The people in seats on the side of the stage were up the entire time for Papa Roach. The lead singer was constantly going over to those sections and recognizing them.

Listen, you're entitled to your opinion about music, but I'm just telling you what I saw from my seats (section 86 row A) I saw a bored crowd for Bach (yes, not a lot of people to see him anyway) and an enthused crowd for P Roach

Just to add on to what you said Dave, I agree the show was sold out......a lot of people left their seats and went down to where I was setting by the Mixing board and basically turned that into a second GA.  The three seats behind me had people seated in them and I later saw them down on the railing.  The funny thing to me was that the place was still pretty empty up until the last 2 or 3 songs from Papa Roach......people are preparing themselves for Axl being late.  :rofl:  This girl setting beside me said after Papa Roach was done, "How much longer do we have before they start" and of course I replied with "well, I don't know if soon is the word" and laughed......and of course she was like "are you fucking retarded"  Okay she didn't say that last part, but I did break out the soon quote.  :no:

 a lot of people left their seats and went down to where I was setting by the Mixing board and basically turned that into a second GA.
YEAH, I WAS ALL THE WAY AT THE TOP, AND THE AREA CLEARED OUT WHEN GNR STARTED...EVERYONE HEADED 4WARD

Another thing there were tons of people in my isle that must have came from higher up.

Sad though but Bach wasn't terrible but the sound was just rough. ?I wasn't surprised Scott Ian came to play a song. ?
Papa Roach I thought played an excellent set as the lead singer came from the stage and interacted with the fans in front of the barriacdes, both sides.
P Roach's drummer at the end stood up in the middle of the stage and gave that heart pound to the crowd which I thought was nice. ?
The GA section was filling up around 10:45pm and I was standing in the back watching the whole show.

What can I say what hasn't already been said...the show kicked, rocked and made Friday night memorable...but man I think the GA section got hammered with huge loads of ?confetti that it felt like New Year's Eve. ? It was just an amazing night.

OMG!  This show rocked!  Rolled in the place around 9:30.  Skipped out on Bach to drink a bit... Going to the bathroom before GNR got on was like being in high school all over again.  If you walked in there, you would lose like 5 years of your life because of all the second-hand smoke.  People did not care at MSG.  It was one giant party!  When Papa Roach was on, we had fun booing the shit out of him and laughing hard at his gay ass.  He totally didn't belong on this show.  He ain't the same genre even.  Anyways... I wish I would have brought my camera inside.  They did not care at all.  You could have brought some heavy duty recording devices and filmed that shit for bootleg DVDs.  MSG did not care.  You live and you learn.

I was buying another beer at a stand after hotboxing a cigarette in a stall like in high school and then the music started thumping the floor.  I'm forcing money in the woman's hand and took the beer out of her hand before she could serve it to me and storm the arena back to my floor seat.  They were doing Jungle and I missed like a minute of the opening.  I clearly thought I'd be waiting a lot longer before they decided to come on.  THey didn't pull that shit Friday night.  I think it might have been around 11:15 or so.  I was in Section 5, Row N.  Not bad.  I could still see plenty of Axl's cornrows.

My fav was You Could Be Mine.  THey ripped that shit apart.  The crowd was goin' nuts.  I was goin' nuts.  Knockin' on Heaven's Door was a great one too.  The crowd got heavy into it.  Axl was doing that shit right.  Great response from the crowd.  Some kids came over and got in the middle of our floor seats to get high.  We hid them from sight and sang along with Axl.  Good times.  Live and Let Die was good too.  IRS was also a good new one.  I had been listening to that one for a week or two beforehand so I was sort of familiar with it and I like that one the best out of all the new album... even though it's not released yet. 

Dizzy had some dreadlocks.  I was laughing at that shit, but whatever.  It's Dizzy.  Man was playing the keys with heart.  Solid.  Go DIzzy!

Robin Finck.  You ROCK man!  Lunacy!  And Ron Fortus man!?!  YOU FUCKING RIP SHIT APART!  God fucking DAMN!  RIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Dude was vain and shit showin' off his ripped abs too.  I ain't hatin' though. 

Bumblefoot could hold his own, but I think Fortus and Finck made him look weak in comparison for the solos at this show. 

Wish I was in Section 6 because I wanted that mic Axl threw out in the crowd.  I bet some blows were thrown for that shit.  Don't be surprised if some deutsch puts out multiple mics on Ebay claiming it's the authentic mic.  Haha. 

Overall, fantastic blowout of a show!  Fucking awesome!  Loved it.  I want more.  I remember jumping up and down on the couch when I got home from middle school for MTV Rocks and Guns videos.  Man, I've been waiting too long for this shit to happen.  I'm really happy right now.  Everyone at the show seemed really happy to be there.  Hope it happens again real soon.  This was also the first time I got to party in NYC.  Great experience!
