Guns n Roses
Last night i went to the Guns N Roses concert (read and old fat axl rose and some randoms playing Guns N Roses tunes). I have never in my life left a concert, sporting event, anything like that that i have paid money for no matter what. Last night after an hour i left.
For starters they didnt even come on stage till 11.15. Its a Wednesday night Axl, i know that as a rockstar you dont actually know what day of the week it is but us people with day jobs have places to be and customers to piss off. By this stage Alicia was already asleep on Jimmys shoulder. It started well, i was excited with Welcome to the Jungle. Then i just got over it. Axl is fat and old and danced like my dad. If it had been marketed as Axl and a really good tribute band, fucking awesome, but it wasnt. They also insisted on doing the one thing i cant stand more than anything at a gig. The old "this is joe random on guitar" so now Joe randmon has to do a 10 minute fucking solo. Wow, awesome you play guitar, that is why you are part of Axls group of randoms, i dont need to hear you play your guitar on your own for 10 damn minutes, that is not what i paid 100 bucks for. You want to tour as Joe random and his amazng solo guitar skills go for it, but not on my Wendesday night when iwant to hear Gunners. They even went as far as to get the dude on Keys to come down and play a solo on the grand piano for his 10 minutes and everyone was like awesome this will mean November Rain, we will sit through this piano solo of "Angie" coz then they will play November Rain. Nope, he played his entirely too long solo and then the piano went back into its hiding hole. We weren't the only people leaving. It wasnt like people were stremaing out, and the die hard bogans loved it, but people were over it before even started.
As we were leaving we ran into Greg, who was super excited about the whole thing along with the Wendy boys, before the gig, yeah he was outside chatting to chicks when we were leaving.
Very disappointing and a waste of 100 bucks and time that i will never get back :(
