Hey Barbie (and your friend), Yanick, and Crash_Diet, had a great time last night, and it was a pleasure to meet you!!!  Hope we all are on the TalkingMetal podcast!!!   Again, it was a great time!!  Last night was the best show I have ever seen!!!

[Throatrake]

did anyone see that woman she was in the second balcony on the left side of the stage, she was wearing that one piece skin tight dress,? had to be one of the best looking woman ive ever seen?

Funny you mention her. She was with another skinny girl wearing jeans right?
My buddy talked to her and asked her how she got those great seats. She told him that she was "sort of" dating Axl.
Was she telling the truth? I guess we gotta wait for pictures of the 2 of them together.

doin gthe back to back nights with all day long pre parties really overwhelmed me...  When I went to the 15th pre party I was already somewhat sick and drunk, I thought I might be able to drink myself sober as it works at times but didn't... I wasn't the kind of drunk you can nap an hour or vomit and feel better, this was just in my blood from days of 12 hour drinking-a-thons.

I'll be there tomorrow, I stayed until about 6pm yesterday then took off.. I'll be there early yet again, more rested though.. ZTake care..

that's cool,i've had a few of those night myself we snuck onto the floor last night,some dude was making a scene and my friend was like Run ! so we were on the right hand side of the stage and i Know someone has elbow prints from me on his chest heh my friend "the partayyyy girl" tripped out ,got way to hot and almost passed out.they took her to side stage while she recovered.but i was there til i texted her and we got back together,went to 2nd mezz cause i didn't want to leave her alone,but i would of stayed on the floor,and had fun.guys are great when you are a short female with semi big boobs LMAO  yah and all this with open toed sandles too  anyway see y'all at MH's tomorrow.early i hope. hugs,Tami

[moondance_1]

  oh,floor was kinda nuts last night huh?

There were some good punches being thrown to the right of the stage before GN'R came out. LOL

How cool was the little thing they played, when Axl said "This is the signs of a band bonding."(something to that effect)

i guess that's what happens with die hard fans huh? some were really cool,offering smokes and letting a short girl get a good view,i loved the floor though,but 2nd mezz tomorrow.

holy shit, you couldnt really call that a dress. she was smoking hot.

[GnR-NOW]

axl probably had both of them

[AxlHBK]

Hey, i was wondering if anyone else noticed this.

If you were facing the stage on the floor and you were looking up at the top seating section to the far right, did anyone notice this guy with long blonde hair and decked out in "rocker gear" or whatever. He almost looked like Vince Neil, or what Matt Sorum looked like in the Illusion days. People up there seemed to be giving him a lot of attention. He also left shortly after they played SCOM or The Blues.

I was wondering if anyone else noticed him and was wondering who he was. Was he just a fan or was it Vince Neil or something.

[IFINGLOVEGNR]

i noticed him it was bugging the crap out of me who was that

it wasnt vince niel, or bret michaels, he did look alot like matt sorum UYI era, long blond hair and a black bandanna

[Barbie567]

My fav part was the black fingerless (& I'm guessing leather) gloves.  Rock on, metal dude!!!   

[AxlHBK]

well, i'm glad i'm not the only one who noticed him.

BTW, The "Beautiful" guitar solo with Fortus and Finck was great.

Finck also has the coolest expressions when soloing.

It was bret michaels, I was right in the front middle of the mezz and I noticed him right off the start.

[MADATGASFORCAR]

security guard confirmed it was Vince Neil, he looked like shit, I guess they have to announce over their radios who is in the building, regardless he left about 3 songs on with a digusted look matched only by lenny kravitz the night before

[the_icon]

Was anyone near that moron, far left of the satge who kept screaming AXL at the top of his lungs? I was right next to him, and wanted to strangle that fool!! He dropped his cell phone twice....really nice people gave it back to him, even after he fell all over me and a few other people cause he was piss drunk!! Then he got drunker....and stared chanting "AXL ROSES"...everyone around him was just laughing at him. What a waste of a ticket he was.
All in all I had a great time, it was better than the Friday show I was also at...they seemd more "together" Axl had more to say also. I thought I seen someone right upfront holding a sign that said "AXL COME BACK TO PHILLY" It was hard to read backwards, but im pretty sure thats what it said, and I think late in the show, he said something like "soon brotha..soon" And that little section cheered....I could be wrong though...anyone remember that part too?

LOL     I hate to say this but he was drunk thanks to me.  Before the show I hooked everyone at the front of the line with some Nightrain.  I brought 3 bottles as thanks for holding my spot and all 3 were gone in like an hour or so.  He was downing the shit pretty quick.

I knew he was fucked up when he kept asking the same people for cigs like...200 times.
