Also, did i miss something with handing out of condoms to the crowd??

Anyways that was the last show I will see of the Australian tour but I can say its been some of the best days of my life. Finally seeing GnR live has been a dream come true?

With the condoms......there is a running joke among the guys that I know, along the lines of they hate Axl cos he gets all the chicks lusting over him. The condom thing was Axl's way of saying - look I've warmed them up.......you'll be needing these now.......

I don't buy it for a minute. ?I'm sure Axl gets tons of chicks, but I'll bet even Mr. Rose gets jealous of all the ass Pitman pulls.

I wasn't referring to Axl 'pulling chicks', I was talking about a reason why condoms were being chucked into the audience........big difference! A bit of humour on Axl's part!

What an amazing and exciting day,today!
Anyway,I wanna ask you guys something.What is 'Aussie, Aussie,Oi,Oi' thing? It's an Avustralian tradition? Exactly What is that?

It developed a life of its own during the Sydney Olympics - sorta like a team cheer thingy!

Someone yells - "Aussie, Aussie Aussie!"
Everyone answers - Oy Oy Oy!
Then it goes - Aussie!
Everyone - Oy!
Aussie!
Oy!
Oy! Oy! Oy!

It's much better than the national anthem!! 

Thanks Stolat!
Now it's time for the updates.In our country Time is 15:48 pm. We have 12 minutes left

And the whole idea of that chant started in Britain as "Oggy, Oggy, Oggy, Oi, Oi, Oi" and is said to have started in Cornwall.. Used to sing it at footie matches when I still lived in the UK.

That's so funny.

How do you come up with all this funny material?

Chris this, Chris that. Priceless!

No, he passes the condoms out so you stop whining about babysitters.

[Tatu]

it looks like it was a very cool concert!

It's Guns N' Roses. All the 2007 concerts look like this.

[Tonylover]

Sebastian then was handing vip passes to some chicks infront of us (2 hot...one questionable, hope she doesnt post here? )

Lol. Damn, wish I got seats in the front row, I want to go backstage and meet them. Unfair man! Come to think of it, I would be thinking...hang on do they expect me to sleep with them, because I'm not sure what the boyf will think of that, then again I could ask him to join in...
In all seriousness I would be damn nervous and pray to god they didnt wan't my sex...(kind of)... I would think the more than 20 year age gap between axl and I would be a problem... for me atleast.

I hope the saturday concert wasn't as good as the friday concert, because that's the one I went to and I thought it was awesome. I'm jealous children.

Thanks for the updates and reviews.....

[twatty]

Just flew home today, was front row for this show last night and it was totally awesome.
Funny moment, a bloke a few meters from me had a t-shirt on saying "wheres slash", Robin saw it when he got on his mates shoulders and emptied a water bottle and threw it at him hitting him in the chest, this bloke didn't get the hint so the next bottle was full and he took it to the neck. Was piss funny and both of them laughed about it so all ended well!

[Olorin]

"He's in my beard fuckhead, go home."

[twatty]

Oh and by the way, with the lip synching Axl didn't mean the words he meant he's been accused of lip synching the whistling at the start, he then laughed and said I'll let you judge.

[fuckin crazy]

Most critics don't know their ass from a hole in the ground .

[ironrose]

hey!guys.Do you  know which hotel Axl and team-mates are staying at?

[eNgIeS]

but the new band is really really well played too, almost as good as Velvet Revolver

Anyways, thanks for the review.

come on Voodoo have a bit of fun geez some of you new Guns diehards cant take a small joke

[ppbebe]

Just read the smiley as 'very funny'.

Sebastian claimed that Axl had a homosexual taste in music! lol

Oh and speaking of....after the 'Dont Cry' solo by Ron on the Friday night Axl said "enough of that gay shit" -in a joking way but still interesting

uh huh. thanks so much for the interesting and funny tidbits. gnrfresh and twatty.

For those interested, here's audio/video of Bumble ''The Six String Maestro'' foot playing ''Back in Black''.

It's a short 21 seconds clip, but killer.

Another great show and an absolutely unbelievable night.
Met had a chat and a few drinks with Dead N' Bloated, he's a great dude. Thanks again mate

Was back near the sound desk for this one and it sounded much better than friday night.

We got Rocket Queen as the only difference from the first night, wish they had have dropped Maddy instead of Chi Dem as I thought Chi Dem on friday was absolutely awesome.
I.R.S. sounded alot better tonight.
Axl riding out on a red bicycle during Rocket Queen was very funny.
Singing happy birthday to Dizzy was a nice touch.
Axl made a joke "when I get home i'm gunna rip Kylie Minouges panties off....? ?cause they are squeezing my balls" this was extremely funny and had the whole crowd laughing.

I think the new songs got a pretty good response from the crowd, considering alot would not have heard them before

I think it is fair to say that the Australian tour so far has been an overwhelming success, packed venues, great shows and the response from the fans has been very positive, including those that don't know the current band or new songs.
There is always a few that find something to complain about but we all what they can do don't we
