One of my friends sent me this review, she's never seen them before and is a fan.. thought it was pretty cool!!
>>>>>>>>>>
It was last night-and all I can say is...WOW!
Seriously, words escape me. I cannot believe I
considered not going! It was just unbelievable.
Sebastian Bach got it all started and was less than
impressive, but he was ok and looked good. So he
sounded a little weak and seemed to forget some of the
words-whatever. It was still Sebastian! Then Papa
Roach played and they were really great! I have never
been a huge fan of theirs-couldn't quite get past the
name-but they have had several songs I have really
liked over the years. They did a good job and I really
enjoyed them. Then at about 11:00, GNR came on. Axl
came out with his shades and I thought I was going to
lose it. (And I was pretty close, too! It was general
admission on the floor and I was where about the
8th-10th row would have been. I ended up moving back a
little after about the first 30-45 minutes because my
friend was getting too jostled and she's pretty short
and couldn't see over all the people.) I mean, after
all the rumours and all the crap he's been pulling, I
was still not 100% convinced he would show. I think
that's how everyone felt. He showed all right, and
proceeded to put on one of the best performances I
have seen, from anyone. Wow. He and the band were so
frakkin' awesome, I cannot even explain it but I know
you understand! They went above and beyond, with a ton
of fireworks/pyrotechnics/flames shooting up and then
when they ended with "Paradise City" they shot red
confetti out into the crowd on the floor. It was so
far beyond my expectations. He also actually came
across as a nice guy! He seemed like he's really
trying to make up for all the stuff that's happened
during the last 10 years or so, and I think he is. I
even liked the new songs.
They came on at about 11:00-11:15 and played until
1:15.
It was so worth every penny I paid for the ticket.
I am really happy for you that GNR is doing such great
shows and getting good reviews. I know how much you
love them. They deserve it!
