Another awesome setlist last night as well, its easy not to mention that.

Hope it stays roughly the same for the rest of this leg.

Don't Cry, Better and Nice Boys definetly add something to the mix.

With your ass in the air... fuck, I've been waiting 18 years to hear that one line... it was probably the highlight of the show for me...

And AdZ, don't say one word...

Oh yeah - forgot about that...this show had so many highlights!

Last night was fuckin' fantastic! I'll be writing my own review on my webzine...

I managed to get a few photos (not too many as I was busy enjoying the show), but if you'd like to see them, here they are... ENJOY!:

(sorry, some of them are a little blurry! I'll put that down to the excitement! lol... and I have some Baz pics too, if you'd like to see them, gimme a shout)

Thanks for the pics!

I agree with the 'ass in the air' thing.

Dunno why that line matters so much but I guess its just tradition lol.

Fantastic show- I think this was GNR proving to their critics that they aren't the image potrayed at Reading.

Best moment for me was Fortus (or possibly Ashba, I couldn't tell from the other side of the arena), Jumped from the stage to the disabled enclosure and did an improv meet and greet with the fans in wheelchairs. All this crap about the band doesn't care about the fans was laid to rest last night.

What a night! Queued up to get in the arena when the doors opened and managed to get a great spot near the front,and Baz came on pretty early. He was like a demon on stage, the energy he has is unbelievable! The place wasn't that full when he started, but looked almost full by the end of his set, and everyone seemed to be really into it and having a great time. A nice surprise was how long they played for, and the stuff off Angel Down rocks pretty hard live.
We were bracing ourselves for a long wait for GnR, but they came on pretty quickly (within an hour of Sebastian finishing I think). The first things I noticed were how great Axl and the band sounded. Fucking immense! From where I was standing there were no problems whatsoever with the sound. The setlist was brilliant, and it was good to hear Nice Boys, Shacklers and IRS. Everyone on stage seemed to be having a great time, and Axl looked very happy. He remarked upon how many people were there, and thanked everyone a few times. Axls voice is magnificent, and gave me goosebumps many times. My brother knew little about the band before we went in, but they won him over very quickly. Ashba was great interacting with the crowd, and Fortus and BBF were brilliant. The KFC bucket was hillarious! The heat from the pyro was pretty intense, so it must be boiling on stage when they go off! From what I could tell, the crowd loved the whole show.
In my view, the O2 was a good venue. Everything ran smoothly, and when the show was over we walked straight out onto one of the free shuttle buses they provided which took us to a train station, and we got the train into central London easily, and didn't have to pay. We then spent ages looking for some sort of 24 hour drinking establishment in central London but couldn't find anywhere, so ended up drinking cans of lager on a bench underneath the London Eye until the first train ran out of London this morning. Have just got home, very tired, but very happy. The best show I've ever been to, and one of the greatest nights of my life! Thank you GnR!

The guy in the pic was seated close to me, along with his mates dressed as Axl, Duff & Steven Adler, complete with wigs and inflatable guitars and drumsticks.... They drew quite a lot of attention... especially from the "safety steward" who took away Adler's drumsticks away.....

Well, what can I say amazing gig! From the 8 times I've seen them this was the best. Axl was in fantastic form. I was right down the front and it sounded and looked great. It was my friends and I who had the KFC bucket, which I used in the Kerrang video I did http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0OTvKBqCug. So pleased Axl put it on and that I managed to get it back. So many highlights. Nice Boys, rocked. Can't wait for Birmingham & Manchester now!

[iloozion]

AMAZING GIG! best I have ever seen them. everyone in the audience seemed to love it, and the band looked like they were all having a great time. best gig i've ever been to.
only one thing marred it slightly for me:.......

After the show we stayed around the O2 for a bit and had a few beers until about 2-3am then got a taxi back to our hotel, sharing the ride with a couple of guys who'd been to the GN'R show, and they said:
"I guess you guys went to the aftershow meet and greet party too? that's why you're leaving the O2 so late?"
"no!! we just stayed around for a few beers, what meet and greet party?"
"the party organised by the guns n' roses forum, we met the band after the show"

anyone know anything about this? i'm guessing it was mygnr that organised it? i'm pretty bummed I missed that, would have loved to meet the guys - but it was an awesome show. wish i was going again tonight!
