[Lukin]

when should you get in line if you want to get a good place?
if you bring a camera,can the security take it away?

Hide it good!

yeah,i think i have to
but the problem is where
so if the security see you in there taking pictures,they can take it?do you get it back later?

Of course you get it back. Or they would be stealing

[erose]

does anyone have an extra ticket for tomorrow?

[Steve McKagan]

That's great Nighteyes, put them on the net when you get home! (If you manage to take some photos)

[Nighteyes]

Of course 

[jaeger]

I love Slash and ALL that he has done. I see it more as a gesture of accepting the new members is the real GN'R.

i know, but its disrespectful against slash and thats how they are going to see it.

better to have on that says I Love Stinson or sth.

[jaeger]

Yes, they will be liek "OH NOES DISRESPECTING TO DA BIG SLASH!"

But your suggestion is quite good. Changing it to FINCK written inside of a heart

[2112]

what i meant was that the band sees slash as a fellow musician

[Shark]

i loved it,  so nice.. axl was hot, everything was perfect 

[Gaymo, the Hobbit]

great review, thanks

[jaeger]

That was the greatest time of my life. Doubt I'll have so much fun again.. Was it only me who thought that the songs seemed like 2 minutes long?

AND I LOVE THE FUCKIN FEELING WHEN EVERYBODY IS STILL AND DOESEN'T KNOW THE WORDS TO SING ALONG IN THE NEW SONGS!

[Lazinko]

Dizzy's Abba tribute was priceless 

I'm hoping for a decent bootleg now.

[Nighteyes]

i loved it,? so nice.. axl was hot, everything was perfect?

God yes,Axl was HOT!
My sister thought that he was as hot now as he was 20 years ago,and then her boyfriend asked us (me,my sister and my cousin) if we would think that he still was hot if he worked on ICA or something,and me and myc sister said yes

Ron was really cute too!

[J.T]

The best version i have ever heard of You Could Be Mine..Absolutely fantastic!.
other fav. songs from last night are Out To Get Me,Patience,Madagascar,My Michelle,Welcome To The Jungle and Better.
Dizzy Reeds piano solo was really nice too,everybody was singing along the S.O.S part..Kind of funny actually.

All that bullshit about how Axl needs oxygen after every song should stop now..They played at least 4-5 songs before he left the stage and that was only for a minute or so.
I was actually surprised by Thal`s playing.I have never heard any of his stuff before but he really showed last night what an amazing guitarist he is.He was enjoying the gig too,you could see it in his face.Fortus kicked ass too,he was rockin`out big time..I am a little disappointed in Robin Finck.His playing was so weird,i mean when he did his solos it sounded like he was trying to start on some song or something but then stopped and started on something else and stopped again..Never got it going really..Maybe that`s his style,i don`t know but it sure sounded weird.

Have hundreds of good pics from this show, but I just came home, so I will only post these ones for now

Those two security guards had a hard job giving water to the people up front, but I deeply thank them for that!

Great pics! I didn't bring a camera, so I tried to take some photos with my phone, but sure...
Please post more later!

Thanks for posting those links. 



What can I say about the show... It was just amazing.

It was my fifth show on this tour and it's really hard to pick a favorite since all of them have been different from each other.

First one was a festival in Lisbon (great show, special because it was the first time I saw this band), London (amazing, they played in a small venue which happens to be one of my favorite venues), Dublin (playing in the sunlight!), Donington (having all kinds of problems and then overcmong those and kicking ass) and now Stockholm (indoors in the place where I saw my first ever rock concert (GN'R) in 1991).


Anyway, I got there early and saw both opening acts. I really didn't like any of them at the previous shows but I never paid too much attention to them at those shows. So I tried to see how these guys were doing even though the music's not for me. They had the energy which I guess is a plus if you wanna be popular among kids.

Avenged Sevenfold played a cover of Pantera's "Walk" which seemed to get the most cheering from the crowd.


Before GN'R came on I told my friends there'd be pyro during the show so they wouldn't be too scared.

When the intro started people knew all the worries about GN'R not showing up were just that, worries. When the first notes of Welcome To The Jungle were played, the place went nuts! It was so great to see a packed Globe Arena into the show.

As the great showman he is, Axl tells the crowd before the last singalong during Knockin' On Heaven's Door that he doesn't think we can be any louder. What do you think happened?


At one point he asks people to take a step back because there's people at the front who are getting hurt.

The funniest part of the show was Dizzy playing S.O.S by ABBA in his solo. It was Sweden, it worked and the crowd loved it!

One thing this indoor arena show made me notice is the great lights they have. You really can't see the light show outdoors in the sunlight.


I read some reviews of the show the day after and I just don't get it. According to them, nobody cares about this band. While the media's current favorite artists are playing in some clubs in front of 50 drooling music journalists. It's also amusing to read certain Swedish music journalists label Axl a has-been and then the same paper uses pages and pages of their valuable space on Axl's adventures in Stockholm. Pretty good for a "has-been". 


Anyway, amazing show and a great crowd! It was nice to see some of you there.
