Me 2 - at least BBF, jarmo and Christos. The video is funny, reminds me those kind of movies like Hot Shots! when there's always something weird happening to people in the background.

Funny, I hadn't thought of that, but now that you mention it.  When I watched the video I wasn't paying attention to what Dj was saying -- I was more interested in what was going on behind him.

[Voodoochild]

Haha, same here.

what a text....

Someone mailed me with this video... was actually quite funny watching myself there, I only heard what DJ said the 3rd time (I think...)

We were taking a few pics, some of them really funny... We did have a nice time...

Christos, I saw you singing Knockin On Heavens Door at the hard rock cafe' (Rock In Lisbon Pre Party) . And judging from the video you have lost alot of weight, well done man, you look very well.

Christos, like Serb, I'm very proud that you said ''Belgrade show is the best show you watched''

Actually I had lost lots more, but lately I put on some again... Well, I'll try to lose more again...

And, wow, that was indeed a beautiful night... We had so much fun in Lisbon, I'll never forget that city... Hope to come back anytime soon...

Christos, like Serb, I'm very proud that you said ''Belgrade show is the best show you watched''

Well, I had to be honest... Up until now I thought the one in Greece was the best, it was a great night with a beautiful moon, I remember Robin talking about that moon. Actually it was quite a very-close-to-perfect show... I was in the first row, it was pretty cool because they had a pit for "vip's" and all of them were well know actors, singers etc etc, so they didn't push us and it felt great to be in the first row and being able to dance and enjoy the gig...

Then again there was the acoustic show in London, but that one is out of reach for many reasons... That experience will always be No.1 for me.

But from the "regular" shows, the one in Belgrade was the best one yet for me. But I do have 4 more to attend in the UK so hold tight... ;-)

Today while i was driving i was listening b92 fm,and guest was Sanja Pr of Belgrade Arena.She said Arena have had a great concerts season,and said guns n roses show was one of the best.also she said They (menagment of belgrade arena) was little scaried because guns n roses had a very bad response in Serbia papers (because Axl is only one original members) and in first 2 months ticket selling were poor,but in September they sold 10000 tickets and arena was packed with 15000 people.Also she said after the show everyone was impresed by guns n roses (especially with legendary Axl ROse and guitarist DJ Ashabba),and Serbian press chenged opinion and she said "Everybody was talkin wow this is the best show which Serbia had".
At the end she said everyday they got lot of questions about new show from the people who left this amazing show.With laufing she said "It depend of Guns n Roses and I'm sure next gnr show will be soldout in a couple days"

Blic readers pick top concert of the outgoing year
GnR held best show of 2010


According to the votes cast by Blic readers at our official website, the best musical concert held in 2010 was the Guns N? Roses show on 23 September at the Belgrade Arena.

The poll was entered by more than 4,000 visitors and the band with the second-most number of votes was Rammstein with their show of 20 March at the Arena, while third-placed was Faith No More?s performance at Exit Festival.

But for frontman/singer Axl Rose, Guns N? Roses appeared in Belgrade in an unrecognisable line-up to the one which celebrated the band in the late 1980s and early 1990s. However, the charismatic Rose and his well-rehearsed band played the right cards with the all-time hits such as Welcome to the Jungle, Live and Let Die and Sweet Child O? Mine and lit up the atmosphere for the long-awaited concert by the Belgrade fans.

However, a considerable proportion of voters found Rammstein?s concert unparalleled this year. The German band?s show ? cram packed with pyrotechnics and an elaborate set ? played their hits Ich Tu Dir Weh, Engel, and Du Hast, which joined in a sing-along by 15,000 fans.

Also, a lot were delighted by the performance of Faith No More at Exit Festival this summer, with a memorable number being the band?s rendition of Serbian traditional song ?Ajde, Jano.

yes, now US ..but been laving my life  doin what I have to do, so when they get  here I  can be well  prepared for many more shows!.All great holidays!

[gnr-4-ever]

Very nice and very rare that a rock band wins a poll in the Balkan region these days.

Folk and turbo folk usually dominate polls, so I'm pretty surprised by this.  

[bolton]

Great. As we can see almost 50% voted for guns n roses.

[Six Strings]

I was there. I have been to a couple of GN'R shows and to many other rock shows, including Metallica, Rammstein, Faith No More, Black Sabbath, U2, Alice In Chains, AC/DC etc. in my country (Bulgaria) as well as abroad. By far, Belgrade show was the most incredible one that I have ever seen. Congrats. 

[rabia]

This is a really cool acknowledgment of the brilliance of this tour.

Coming close on the heels of Axl being voted the greatest lead singer of all time, it signals that the fans are not blinded by whatever negativity anybody might throw around.  We fans know merit when we see it.
