July 23 - Manchester, UK @ MEN Arena

[olliehall]

wot a gig, was well worth the wait!!! Couldn't stand Towers of London tho they were terrible the singer needed shootin, they did a cover of freebird, n now i hate that song cos of them!!! Bullet were gud, they did a gud setlist but every time i listen to them i still think "rip off of trivium", but they were a gud support act would go n watch them on their own.

If it weren't for the millions of boobs i wud have got pissed with guns but it all went away as soon as i they rocked the stage, frinck looked well cool!!! If i had to say somethin couldn't understand y they didn't play Catcher in The Rye, thats suppose to be the big single they will release, but Better was brilliant live didn't think they'd be able to pull it off. Gotta admit the little instrumental intervals got annoyin after a while got to a point were just want to throw me shoe at drummer for em to play a song! But they played everythin i wanted n IZZZZY rocked!!!! He was brilliant, and Axl was better than ever, his voice still sounds shit hot!!

But overall i'd have to say that was the best gig i have ever been to, brilliant set list, brilliant band, brilliant musicians, can't wait for the next one!!!

"i would have liked to have heard TWAT but kinda knew that wouldnt happen, also would have like to have heard rocket queen but i cant really complain"

^^ my sentiments exactly. shame the dust n bones chant didnt work, i blame a lack of participation from the crowd! at least izzy was there though, it got quite late on and i didnt think he was gonna show. great gig!

You remember guys the moment when Axl said "Don;t spoil with that..." ... before that he said there's a time for introduction and I screamed Sebastian...and later he said that thing looking at me cause it was Izzy who later got on stage

the concert was great, the sound of the band ws much better than in Poland, Axl was in great mood on Knockin' On Heaven;s Door he screamed the stuff exactly the same as in Wembley '92... damn they didn't play You Gotta Move but it was really nice to see Izzy again

english fans were great anyway but the people standing with me a little bit into right just before the stage... didn't know the lyrics of Don't Cry - polish fans made it a little bit louder
