H?meenlinna, Finland, 1st July

But Duff wore a Smack shirt

According to Twitter he was given that shirt earlier in the day by a fan/friend he met while touring with Loaded. I guess they knew he liked the band, and I bet a lot of people in the audience liked that he was wearing the shirt.

Third GN'R gig for me, and the best! Axl sounded great, and the band was on fire

Going to admit I have no idea who Smack are. What's the deal with them?

Pretty much all I know about them is that they're a Finnish punk rock band from the 80's. Nirvana sometimes covered one of their songs and presumably Duff likes them too.

The organisation was pretty bad, in the news theres reports that people waited a whole hour to buy beer, only to find out that the venue is out of beer.

There was not enough entries to the venue, i spent all of Michael Monroes set 50 meters from the entry waiting to get in. Some of the security guards were on a big ego trip.

I forgot to meention that McBob's intro was

'' H?meenlinna! Or like we call it, Jarmotown! Please welcome Guns N' Roses!''

McBob wasn't the only one giving Jarmo a shout out.  Melissa did too on her instagram.

That geisha chocolate is tasty indeed!

I am hearing now that the band was not late and had been told 20.45 CET, which is one hour ahead in Finland. Maybe Jarmo could confirm this?

Melissa looks like a happy girl

Well that's interesting if true 

McBob's introduction was hilarious

Seems a bit odd if nobody bothered to correct them at any point

Very odd!

Friends are telling me that pretty much every report is laughing at Axl how he just still can't start on time. Then people are actually believing it because it is in the media.

We know that is not true, what happened, Jarmo?

[kaasupoltin]

At least Frank was at the venue during the supporting acts, don't know about the rest of the band though.

Most of the reports I've read have forgiven the late start as the show was so great. One headline stated that "Guns N' Roses is the greatest band at the moment - if you disagree, you're wrong". Pretty much says it all!

Rest of the band posted a soundcheck video- so I'm assuming they stayed at the site from that point onwards too.

I think any late start will pick up the headlines now. As I said before, hopefully it was a one off, for whatever reason.

Yep, and that's the way it has been a long time. Even if it's just a 15?30min delay it at least gets a mention. And if they're not late, it is usually mentioned as a "miracle".

Totally. First thing anyone says to me when they ask about the concerts (and we're talking people who know nothing about GNR, and care even less) is "did they manage to show up on time?"
