back from the concert, i cant remember the exact order the songs were played in but they played everything off Contraband but Spectacle and "Loving the Alien"
Hoobastank were ok, i only recognized a few of their songs and u couldnt make out the vocals hardly at all.
VR didnt get on stage till after 9:30, some people behind us were yelling come on Axl I mean Scott.
Atlanta seemed like a total "PRO" GNR crowd.
Hoobastank even asked how many GNR fans were there and the place exploded.
the biggest cheers of the night went to the 2 GNR songs and some people in front of us left right after Its So Easy/Sex Type Thing.
Overall the concert was ok, When i saw Prince and then Bon Jovi it was like a religious totally moving experience, but this concert i just didnt feel that overwhelming feeling.
Scott is amazing, he held up his end, definitely one of the best frontmen going by far but what disappointed me was Slash.
Halfway through the concert i turned to Journey and said "Im glad Axl has a new band"
Slash and Duff were somewhat underwhelming, they just sorta stood there the entire concert for the most part, Slash fucked up i dont know how many times and very very very badly during the YGNR solo
Matt's YCBM intro before Brownstone was awesome.
I love the entire Contraband CD but I didnt know how much I missed GNR until they played Its So Easy and Brownstone, they really shouldn't play those songs, cause after they played Its So Easy, the crowd wanted more GNR.
I love the entire Contraband CD and I am a huge VR fan but I cant lie, I wanted GNR after hearing the two GNR songs.
Slash needs to kick whoever put that tattoo on his stomach's ass.
it said LASH, the "S" must not have took or something but it looked ridiculous.
Good concert, not in my top 5 though, my ears werent even ringing afterwards
when the band left before the encore, the Velvet Revolver sign lights up for people to chant "Vel Vet revolver, either the crowd was too drunk or didnt get the hint cause very few were chanting it, I started a mini "Guns n Roses" chant which got a laugh and then we said shit like "Guns n Revovler" or Hoobastank Revolver or Velvet Roses.
Scott Weiland however is/was amazing!!
He truly is an amazing frontman.
Dave Kushner was the next best after Scott, he was all over the place, jumping over shit, his guitar was down too low however and u couldnt hear his dueling solos that much and Slash's really overpowered his.
the place was packed, the only part that wasnt sold out was the lawn
the crowd was into it, I was into it like hell as well, we were sort of in a lame section where most people just stood, so it kind of sucks when your section is made up of too many "Cool" people who wont dance or head bang
me,journey and this guy next to us were rockin out the whole show
I didnt mean to sound negative in my review, but i read everyone else's review and our concert just didnt seem to include those elements.
maybe Slash did more stuff while i was watching Scott, but he just didnt seem all that energetic to me.
Scott also threw his microphone into the crowd at the end of the concert so some lucky bastard got to go home with Scott's mic.
Hey Drew, was that u crowd surfing?
