Guns 'n' Roses kick off Outer Harbor concert season with massive spectacle

The Axl, not the wheels... Guns n? Roses kicks off Outer Harbor Summer Concert Series on Wednesday with first area show in more than 20 years.

Guns N? Roses has been a band plagued by controversy and internal dissent from the beginning, but one constant in the group?s tenure has been virtuoso hard-rock guitar playing. Of course, the GN?R that the world initially fell in love with in the late ?80s was all about guitarist Slash, whose killer tone, attitude-infused solos, and in-your-face riffs defined the GN?R sound for so many. Slash has been gone for a long time, and he?s not at all likely to return, so alienated from vocalist and current band leader Axl Rose has he become over the years. But the line of supreme guitar playing in the ranks has remained unbroken, with the mysterious shredmaster Buckethead having served a stint under Rose?s rule around the time of the ?Chinese Democracy? release.

Now, the jaw-droppingly intense and highly inventive Bumblefoot (Ron Thal to his mom) is handling the primary six-string duties in the GN?R lineup. Bumblefoot ? and you should check YouTube for some examples of his prowess, if you are unfamiliar with him ? will be flanked by former Replacements bassist Tommy Stinson, as well as guitarists Richard Fortus and Dizzy Reed when Guns N?Roses arrives for a show at 8 p.m. Wednesday at the Outer Harbor concert site.

This will be the first Guns N? Roses show in Western New York in more than 20 years. Tickets are $43 advance (Town Ballroom box office, Ticketmaster).

Yeah saw this already, if one is going to write about the band they could have taken 5 minutes to find out who does what IMO.  Junk.

To say that GnR "was all about guitarist Slash" proves that this hack knows nothing about this band!  True, Slash was instrumental to Guns back in the day, as were Izzy, Duff, Steven, and, oh yeah, Axl, the greatest frontman of all time!  Hold on, need to play me some Get in the Ring.

Monster Truck are apparently the opening band for this show:

hmm your right what is it?

[Ginger King]

Alright ladies and gents...showtime's almost here.  Can't wait.  The venue looks great and from listening to recents shows, the band sounds awesome.  Anyone else going?  Hopefully I'll get to see Jarmo and the crew. 

[fridayfan13]

im leaving in an hour or two, be at the venue a couple hours after that. First time for me, so i cant fucking wait.

[Ginger King]

Dude, you're in for a treat.  This will be my third show.  We got a crew of 8 rolling up in a limo (we live about an hour away).  Not quite sure what time we'll actually get there (we have VIP tickets so I'm assuming that means a roped off area near the stage so we don't have to be the first people there to get a good spot).  Enjoy the show.

[LordRazZ]

I'll be the guy in the black and white plaid fedora, with the beat up GnR jacket on, with the Appetite logo on it. Feel free to look for me and say hey gang!! Trust me..you can't miss the hat from a mile away...

Wow, I'm loving Ron's new guitars... The sunburst doubleneck and also this neat sunburst Les Paul which just looks gorgeous by the way. A nice solid setlist as well for this show, Guns seem to have made Catcher a staple in the set now. Although I do want to see Sorry and Street Of Dreams return.

I prefer Sorry and SOD over CITR as well but wouldn't complain about this setlist..

[Ginger King]

Holy shit...what an awesome show!  GnR completely owned it!  They sounded awesome, and got to hear Civil War.  Seriously, every song was kick ass.  Axl seemed to be having a good time.  They put on one hell of a show...which makes for one hell of a work day today!

[cotis]

great show once again! very windy and brisk.

surprised it wasn't snowing!
