Glad everyone had a great time at the show.  Next time I hope to meet more of you. 

Still cool as hell to be in the same room as Axl Rose even if I can't con myself into thinking that that was GNR that I saw the other night.  It just isn't (for me) but we still had a good time anyway. 

Don't hate me for saying this becasue I am well aware of the opinions on this board, but after the show the entire bar I was at was saying the same thing and I feel this way too.  Was wondering if any of you do as well:

"Imagine the electricity in MSG if it was the real GNR. Just imagine. The place wouldn't even be standing anymore."

I haven't seen any.  I checked online earlier tonight and came up empty.

Its funny to think Jarmo, Younggunner and I were all in the same building.

It was a really good show.  Its hard to compare to the May 12th one, but the band sounded good.  The highlight, for me, might have been Ron Thals "Dont Cry" solo.  Watching a full Madison Square Garden sing along to the entire song was pretty special.  "Live & Let Die" was great.  So was "You Could Be Mine."  Maybe its due to his current low-profile, but I missed Slash a bit, particularly during these songs (and "November Rain").  Dont construe this as whining or reunion wishing, just a simple feeling I got during a handful of songs, a feeling I didnt get at the May 12th show.  The band did a great job as usual.  Fortus was just virtually flawless and the other guys were great.  Axl also did a great job as usual. 

Madison Square Garden attracts a more mainstream crowd, as opposed to a small venue like the Hammerstein which drew a large number of fans through message board presales, so while a lot of the Hammerstein fans sang along to the new songs, the MSG fans werent that into them and the momentum stalled a bit.  Thats obviously just a symptom of no album, and is just one more reason to not include more unheard songs until the albums out.  But Im very happy to see this band performing well on a successful tour with an album on the way.

one of these days we have to meet Booker. Its good to see you have a little more of a positive vibe over the past yr or so. GLad your enjoying the band and what they have to offer....

im also glad the days of long, quote filled arguments are long gone lol 


Im sure the new album will spark some debate though....

Im glad theres a reason to be positive, which wasnt really the case for awhile. 

The album sparking debate is a safe bet.

It seems unreal being back at the office after three fantastic days in NY. God, I love that city!

With all the reviews on this thread I have nothing more to add. Great show. Madison Square Garden, Guns N' Roses, second row on the pit... it doesn't get better than that.

It was nice meeting some of you guys at Stitch?
