Hahahaha, if that's the case, let me say that I was the person in the very front and center, on my phone looking annoyed during your entire set, and got really pissed when the singer decided he was cool by jumping over my head into the crowd. Thank you, that is all.

I don't think someone from Living Things would need to come onto a GNR message board after their opening slot and try to promote their band......  they have been around for a while... ::)

ya dudes - i'm not in the band....haha.  i've been a loyal GNR fan and have been coming to this site for years.   I was just blown away by that opening band and thought i would share.  DIdn't think there were any more real bands out there anymore.   And where in the hell did GNR find those guys?

Swagger Rock,
 if you have been coming to this site for awhile then why did your just sign up as a member November 20th? just asking? If your in the band or close to them that's cool, just be honest. It just looks fishy when you post that kind of comment and upload a review and you tube performance and you just became a member a week a go. And we are all GNR$ fans if you have any common sense and love rock! Do you see what some of us are saying?

I've been coming to this site for a long time...prob since 2000...but ya i just signed up the other day.  I am however under another name too called VelvetGunner (I think), but haven't used that name since 2004.  ANyways,  I don't know...just making conversation, guys.

Right on brother, I didn't get to see them but I'll check them out. When I went I got The Last Vegas, which was I guess ok. The guys in the band seemed intimidated except for the lead singer. They barely moved around, just stood there and played. You have this big stage and a nice size crowd and they just stood there. If it was me i would have gone everywhere, even where I'm not suppose to go and gone crazy. There music was ok, lead singer was an 80's throwback hairmetal singer but looked like he was from now. guys in the band looked like old school heavy metal, Metallica guys. Just didn't go together. Whatever, GN'R kicked ass and that's all that mattered to me, sorry about jumping down your throat.

Right on! Ya, i went to two of the residency shows.  GNR killed it each time!  In regards to Living Things - i checked their stuff out the next day...to me seemed pretty cool.   Reminds me a little of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club meets Ramones or something.  THat link i gave may have been bad example.  haha.  Or maybe it was me hoping that i finally discovered a rad rock n roll band, which is something i haven't seen from the younger bands in a while.  Just thought i'd share my enthusiasm.   
See you guys on board for some GNR discussions!
