Guns n' Roses take over MTSC tonight

by Jen Sharpe
www.mtscentre.ca

If you had a spelling test?or a hearing test?on your Tuesday morning agenda, chances are you missed Monday night?s concert at the MTS Centre. The eye-opening, ear-busting show was definitely not for those with school night curfews or sensitive hearing, but that?s a good thing. At a Guns ?n Roses concert, a healthy dose of F-bombs and fireballs is expected. Encouraged, perhaps, if you proved your stamina with general admission floor seats.

From 8:00pm to just after 2:00am, risqu? dancers, squealing guitars, and classic hard rock tunes kept 11,000 GnR fans rocking for six solid hours. After a skin-baring performance by the Suicide Girls, a heavy half-hour show from Helmet, and a 75-minute set from former Skid Row frontman Sebastian Bach, headlining Guns ?n Roses took to the stage just before midnight.

Fronted by the fiery Axl Rose, GnR opened up their set with ?Welcome to the Jungle? from 1987?s Appetite for Destruction. With two keyboardists, three guitarists, a bassist, and a drummer in his GnR army, rock star Rose commanded the stage and the crowd with veteran know-how.

This isn?t surprising, because the band?in all of its permutations?has been delivering killer rock shows for over 20 years. Although Axl is the only remaining original member, the band was a cohesive unit onstage, covering classic GnR tunes like ?Sweet Child of Mine? and ?Mr. Brownstone? flawlessly.

Though his bandmates have changed, Axl has resisted the ravages of time: plenty of pecs and nary a wrinkle, the 44-year-old looks better than he did decades ago. Sporting Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses, skin-tight jeans, and neatly braided hair, Mr. Rose let his bandmates cover the grungy, gritty aspect of rock-n-roll style.

Though he looks shiny and new, Axl?s voice is as nasal and squealy as it ever was. That?s also a good thing. Even through the softer tunes (and there were quite few), the famed frontman can hit the high notes and hold the long ones just like in his heyday.

The show was peppered with memorable moments, including a mid-set visit by Bubbles of The Trailer Park Boys, stories about border crossing troubles, and a handful of lighter-lit ballads.

For at least one concert reviewer, Guns n? Roses also managed to clear up a long-held misconception: Turns out ?November Rain,? ?Patience,? and ?Knockin? on Heaven?s Door? aren?t best enjoyed while slow dancing in Junior High. The lighters, the crowd, and Axl?s on-stage antics top any butterflies you ? okay . . . I ? may have felt in an echoey gym. That?s a very good thing.

Wow, fastest online review ever!  Thanks!

[Billo]

[Transcona]

Awesome show, exceeded my expectations. The band was the highlight, they are tight and very much into every second.........
